166: Capability vs Capacity in Your Coaching Practice

06/26/23 • 34 min

It’s frustrating to recognize that we simply don't have the internal resources we need to take action despite having the capability to do so.

Most of us are highly-capable individuals who know how to show up as coaches, serve our people, and help them create their desired changes. That passion drives us to keep growing and doing more, but the problem arises when we don’t check in with ourselves and get honest about our capacity.

Today I’m talking about the difference between capability and capacity and how it might inform your work inside your coaching practice. I’m sharing the difficult yet necessary decisions I’ve recently made to respect my current capacity while still growing and scaling a business I love, how I think about capacity vs. capability, old beliefs that came up when I decided to step back, why these decisions are necessary for building a sustainable coaching practice, and more. Enjoy the episode!

[REPLAY] How to Create Meaningful Content without Burning Yourself Out

I am hard at work creating all sorts of new content for the podcast and for some other offers and programs I’ll be sharing more about over the next few months. It’s in that spirit that I want to rebroadcast one of my favorite episodes that I’ve done on the show.

In this rebroadcast, I share how to design a system that supports you in creating content through the lens of what I call the Content Cycle. Developing a deep understanding of that cycle has been a critical tool for me, and it’s my secret to creating content without burning out.

I originally published this episode about a year ago, and I have really been leaning into the Content Cycle that I talk about in this episode. It has been really reassuring; especially as I’ve been in this high content creation mode inside Coach with Clarity®.

So, if you yourself are hard at work creating something new, or maybe even refining an existing program or offer, I think you’re going to get a lot out of this episode.

167: Amplifying Your Message through Facebook Ads with Ashley Braswell

Regardless of how you feel about Facebook and Facebook ads, I truly believe you’re really going to enjoy my conversation with our guest.

Today, I want to introduce you to my friend, and apparently my doppelgänger, Ashley Braswell. Not only do Ashley and I look startling alike, we also have a shared outlook on how we want to run our business and serve the world. I especially wanted to bring Ashley on the show today because she is an expert when it comes to running Facebook ads.

I know many of us have what we might call and ambivalent relationship with Facebook in general, with ads in general, and with Facebook ads specifically. Yet, I know that when used properly, Facebook ads can really help us grow our business. In fact, I personally experienced that inside Coach with Clarity®.

I’ve brought Ashley on today to specifically talk about the role of Facebook ads, how she approaches it, best practices for coaches who are thinking about using ads to grow their business, how to run ads on a platform we have mixed feelings about, and how to almost hack the system in order to share our message and see more of what we want.
