What really makes a coach successful beyond strategies and business plans? Is there a “secret sauce” to building a thriving coaching practice? In this episode of The Coaching Hub Podcast, I explore why self-connection could be the most overlooked, yet essential, ingredient for success as a coach.I unpack the journey from learning coaching skills to building a sustainable business and explore why knowing yourself, your strengths, values, preferences, and even your quirks, matters more than any external strategy. If you’re wondering why some coaches thrive while others get stuck, it often comes down to how authentically you show up and how well you understand yourself.Join me as I share my own lessons from transitioning into coaching, letting go of the “professional coach mask,” and embracing what truly resonates with clients.
