How to Nail Your Sales Calls

No matter what you call them – sales calls, discovery calls, clarity calls, etc. – these opportunities to connect with potential clients one-on-one are incredibly valuable and important.

If you’re a coach who is trying to sell your programs or services strictly via direct messages on social media or through email, I have bad news: You’re leaving a LOT of sales on the table.

You’ve probably heard the term “mindset” before, and maybe you’re already rolling your eyes because it sounds kinda woo-woo… but have you ever considered the ways in which your thoughts DIRECTLY impact your potential for success? Yep – it’s true.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome As A Coach

If you’ve ever felt like a fraud or been worried that someone’s going to call you out for not knowing enough, not having enough experience under your belt or not being adequately prepared no matter how much you’ve done (seriously, who HASN’T felt this way in a work situation?!), chances are you’ve experienced imposter syndrome.

Today I’m interviewing one of my former private business coaching clients, Kristina Pinchera (@kpinchfit: https://www.instagram.com/kpinchfit/ ) who has an incredible story that you’ll DEFINITELY want to hear! I began working with Kristina in August of 2020, which is when she was beginning to take her fitness coaching business online, and to say she’s done well over the past year would be a MASSIVE understatement.

How to Deal With Hunger While Dieting

Unpopular opinion: You may not ALWAYS need to immediately honor your hunger cues… especially if you’re on a weight loss journey.

However, you definitely do NOT have to suffer and struggle with extreme hunger pangs to get results, and that’s part of what I’m discussing today. This episode is for you if you’re interested in nutrition ...

Not Your Average Self-Care Message

Hot take: There’s absolutely nothing wrong with bubble baths and face masks, but those things aren’t what I consider TRUE self-care… and that’s what I’m talking about today. What IS true self-care? It’s putting into practice the things that will help you live a genuinely fulfilling life (because isn’t that what we all want?). In reality, taking care of yourself often looks like making intentional choices that may not feel fun, easy or comfortable in the moment so that you can live your best life...
