In this episode, I talk with the burnout MD for entrepreneurs, Dr. Crystal Agyei, about why defaulting to the label of imposter syndrome can actually hold you back from doing the deeper work of understanding your thoughts and emotions. Crystal shares a powerful reframe for imposter syndrome that she calls the "personality gap" - the space between the version of yourself you desire to be and the one that is currently showing up.
Crystal dives into the problematic history of how imposter syndrome was originally conceived, the importance of applying an intersectional lens to this work, and how to start investigating your own "imposter" thoughts with curiosity. She also shares a practical tool you can use to identify and question the thoughts behind your feelings of imposter syndrome in the moment they arise.

Over the past few weeks, I've had eye-opening discussions with numerous successful coaches who have scaled their businesses to impressive heights. And yet, many of them confessed to me that they've fallen out of love with their businesses along the way. This got me thinking deeply about how the relentless push to scale as coaches may be negatively impacting us and our clients.
Hear my thoughts on the dark side of scaling your coaching business, and how, while there is nothing inherently wrong with it, you must be tapped into your reasons for why you want to do it. I explore the “scale at all costs” mentality, how it can lead you down an unfulfilling path and even hinder client results, and why more money and clients don't always equal more fulfillment and impact as a coach.

As a coach, it's crucial to have clear policies and boundaries around how you handle situations where someone other than the client is paying for the coaching. Without this clarity, confusion can arise about who you are coaching, what results you are working towards, and who you are accountable to.
Join me this week as I offer key principles for coaching clients whose coaching is paid for by a third party. I share examples of when this situation might come up, key questions to ask yourself as a coach, and how to structure the coaching relationship for success. You’ll also hear real-life examples of how you can apply these principles in your practice to maintain the integrity of the coaching process.

Have you ever heard a coach say, “How you do one thing is how you do everything?” It's a common phrase that gets thrown around, but what does it really mean? While I personally try to stay away from talking about overused or over-generalized concepts like this, they can be super useful if you’re able to use them in a powerful way. So what truly makes this coaching concept useful, and where can it sometimes fall short or be misinterpreted?
I unpack “How you do one thing is how you do everything” and offer some practical tips for leveraging this idea in your coaching to create more awareness and transformative results.
