Why Hiring a Business Coach May Not Be the Best Move for You (Yet!) | IP 194

Hiring a coach can absolutely change your business. Lord knows it has mine! It can also challenge your identity, your habits, your leadership, your willingness to change, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about what’s possible.

Yeah. ALL of that.

So in this episode, I want to slow that conversation down a bit.

Because before you start searching for the right coach, the more important question to ask yourself is: are you actually ready for coaching - at all?

In this conversation, I’ll walk you through 5 great questions every private practice owner should ask themselves before making that leap — whether your business feels stuck, overwhelming, wildly successful, or somewhere in between!

In this episode, you’ll learn…

Why coaching is about way more than strategy or accountability.
The uncomfortable truth about growth, leadership, and change. (You know this part!)
What it really means to be “coachable”... (Are you?)
Why timing matters when investing in this level of support
The difference between looking for rescue… and learning to lead. 😎

We’ll also talk about how to evaluate the fear you may be feeling, so that you can make a thoughtful, grounded decision about whether coaching is actually the right next step for you right now.

Take some time with these questions. Journal about them. Talk with someone you trust. Be honest with yourself about where you are and what you really want next.

And if coaching does feel like the right next step? I got you covered. :)

In the next episode, I’ll help you figure out how to evaluate whether a coach may be the right one for you.

Good stuff, this. :)
