The Overwhelming Proliferation of Coaching: Navigating Quality, Credibility, and Industry Challenges

SUMMARY

In this episode, Angie and John discuss the burgeoning field of coaching and the saturation of the market with coaches coaching other coaches. They explore how COVID-19 shifted the coaching landscape and the challenges of maintaining a sustainable coaching business. They delve into the distinctions between coaching, consulting, and mentoring while reflecting on their own journeys and experiences. Additionally, they highlight the importance of credibility, trust, and the differentiation of genuine coaching practices from the 'quick-hit' gimmicky approaches. The conversation also includes insights on the potential benefits of creating valuable, experience-based coaching programs versus transactional, plug-and-play solutions. The show concludes with a light-hearted game of 'Coaching Buzzword Bingo' and a sneak peek into the next episode featuring an expert on ghostwriting for coaches looking to author books.
