Akua describes the reasoning behind her survey and who participated.Akua’s background is a classically trained International Coaching Federation Coach, but she acknowledges there are many ways to become a coach. Respondents were most concerned about how to find paying clients. Akua stresses that even if you are a coach “in training,” you still provide value - don’t undercharge!Because many coaches are heart-centered, it’s a common mistake not to think about our coaching from a business perspective, and it can be challenging to get accountability.Akua talks about the importance of boundaries and separating yourself from your coaching business. Understand why it’s important to create a repeatable process that can evolve over time when it comes to your coaching business.In coaching and consulting, it’s important to know where to spend time and energy. Some invest more time in training rather than attracting clients. Having a process and a schedule is important to make sure you get the rest you need. With so many coaching tools, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It’s important to surround yourself with many coaches and learn from their experiences and which tools worked for them. Successful executive and leadership coaches are able to focus on the problem they are trying to solve.Find out about Akua’s coaching container she aims to co-create with other coaches.
