Episode 70 - Solving the Pivot Problem

In this episode, we share insights on the challenges and opportunities of pivoting, especially for introverted coaches.

With a combined 30 years of business experience, we discuss various types of pivots—from career changes and geographical moves to entrepreneurial shifts.

Anke shares her personal pivot stories, including her drastic shift from software development to creating flamenco costumes in Spain, and ultimately to coaching.

Episode 63 - Are you overengineering the client experience?

In this episode, we tackle the subject of 'overengineering' in client experiences. Highlighting the often-overlooked concept that less can sometimes indeed be more, we broach the importance of ensuring simplicity and efficiency in our business practices. Drawing from personal accounts, we uncover how well-intentioned efforts to enhance experiences can sometimes culminate in wasted resources and suboptimal outcomes. We stress the need to truly understand what our clients require, rather than making assumptions or overloading our services to substantiate the price point. After sharing our personal missteps, we underline the significance of valuing functionality above aesthetics and concentrating on delivering client value in a practical, resource-friendly way.
