Rich loves his job because he gets paid to dig around in people’s minds. More specifically, he helps people change their view and path in life by guiding them to shift their mindset. Rich has the pleasure of helping two people, Matt and Cathy, to shift their mindsets. Matt is a former VP at a major sports league who he has created multi-million dollar deals. He is looking for value in his time and to find belief in himself. Cathy is a former head of digital marketing during a 14-year, 6-figure salary career in the corporate world, a cancer survivor, and an all-around giver. Being the giver that she is, asking for that monetary value for her coaching services has become a personal struggle for her.

These insights will undoubtedly change the futures of their coaching businesses.

S1:EP10: "Stop Asking Permission"

Most of the time what we're afraid of is what we imagine other people will think. The funny thing is, that is the last thing we should worry about. There’s only one person that you have to live with for the rest of your life, and that’s yourself. Do not let the fear of what others think of you stop you from living before you die. More importantly, if we can learn to ignore ourselves, we can do anything we want. In this podcast, Rich tells a short story by Dave Trott to set the scene for Season Two of 1 Insight.

S2:EP02: "I Believe in You..."

In life, it can feel like we are being pulled in 10 different directions at the same time. It can be stressful choosing which part of yourself to identify with. Well, what if you didn’t have to choose at all? Rich’s guests today, Manjeet and Jordan, are dealing with that struggle in their lives right now. Manjeet has been a consultant to some of Britain's top retailers for over a decade. Jordan has won awards in the advertising industry for her work. Both of them have transitioned into coaching. It can be scary making this shift in your life, especially when you have a family that you need to provide for. Coaches make the mistake of saying yes to coaching to anyone and everyone. Don’t jump into these relationships without asking the right questions. More important than any factor is your belief in yourself. You must believe to the core of you that working with you will change your clients’ lives. You can do it!

In today’s episode:

Looking at the different parts of your life as 2 parts of the same person
Searching for the authentic version of yourself
Being a secret agent of coaching in your industry
Framing your conversational tools in order to get your clients excited
Changing client mindsets by understanding human behavior
Navigating the emotional roller coaster of life and entrepreneurship
Asking the right questions when vetting your potential clients
Calling it what it is to avoid any guilt on your end and help them relax on theirs
The true definition of consulting
These are the most powerful words in coaching
