The “Mother of Career Coaching” On How to Become a Business Coach

Have you ever been surprised by a “chance” opportunity to hang out with someone amazing and cool? Just recently this happened to me.

A mutual friend introduced me to Susan Whitcomb, founder and CEO of The Academies, Inc. Susan has been dubbed the “Mother of Career Coaching” and has been in the coaching business for over 13 years. She’s been quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News & World Report as an expert in the coaching business, but we had never met.

I agreed to an interview with Susan and was stunned by the experience. It turned into a discussion with the“Mother of Career Coaching” on how to become a business coach. Susan is a VERY gifted interviewer – so warm… kind… affirming. In that 1 hour interview, she brought insights out of me that I had no idea were there!

Here are some of the things we covered that I think you’ll love:

1.    How to find your own “why” – the motivation to begin and stick with the process of growing your business coaching business…

2.    The 2 most important things for new and aspiring coaches to get right when launching a coaching business: (1) Proper Preparation and (2) Mastering Your Craft and how to get these 2 things right…

5.    How to use the business coaching biz-dev formula (250-50-10-2) to methodically and predictably land clients…

Over the last 13 years as a thought-leader and pioneer in the business coaching industry, I’ve done dozens, if not 100’s of interviews like this, but this is easily one of my favorites. Value-packed, warm, and very encouraging…
