Host Regen interviews Konstantin Zois, an executive and interim manager providing "management as a service." With 25+ years experience, Konstantin helps industrial and private equity-backed firms in Germany, US, and Greece with leadership and execution.

His coaching focuses on business goals, inspired by leading during turbulent times. He gains clients primarily through referrals and LinkedIn, working to raise awareness of interim management versus traditional consulting, especially in less mature markets.

Konstantin emphasizes that interim managers implement strategic plans, unlike consultants who only provide concepts. His advice for scaling coaches is to gain practical experience, build a strong theoretical base, and genuinely love working with people.

Host Regen interviews Steve Lavner, an executive recruiter and career coach with 25+ years in financial communications. Steve's coaching grew from his recruiting background, helping clients find clarity and their next career move.

He primarily finds clients through LinkedIn content and university outreach, emphasizing honesty and leveraging his "insider" recruiter perspective. Steve recommends coaches hire their own coach and be generous in professional communities. His current challenge is scaling and pricing for returning clients.

His key advice: "Don't burn bridges." Treat people well, be generous with your time, and stay passionate about your clients' careers.

Host Rexhen interviews Tom O'Neil, an award-winning international speaker, best-selling author ("The 1% Principle"), and career development expert. Tom's work has been featured in Harvard Business Review and The Economist, and he leads cv.co.nz.

Tom's journey to coaching began at Deloitte New Zealand, where he observed successful professionals often lacked life balance. This inspired him to help clients achieve a holistic approach to career and well-being. He highlights his "Achievements Questionnaire" as a powerful tool, even published in "What Color Is Your Parachute?", that helps clients understand their true value, sharing a compelling story of an 18-year-old realizing her significant accomplishments.

He coaches a broad range of clients, from students to CEOs, including mothers returning to the workforce. Tom's client acquisition relies on organic search (via owning key domain names like cv.co.nz), strong referrals, and Google Ads. He also maintains an active LinkedIn presence with value-driven content.

Looking ahead, Tom aims to continue his impactful work and address the challenge of effectively "marketing himself." He advises coaches to be bold, network actively, and clearly articulate their value.

Host Rexhen interviews Mary Jo Romeo, executive coach and founder of MJR Coaching and Consulting. With decades of experience building national sales teams, Mary Jo brings a unique blend of business acumen and coaching expertise.

Mary Jo's coaching journey began unexpectedly after her sales career, leading her to get ICF PCC certified at Columbia University. She now finds deep reward in being a "thought partner" to senior leaders, asking tough questions that lead to clarity and transformation.

Her client base is primarily senior leaders, often in transition, mostly acquired through word-of-mouth referrals and pro bono workshops for community organizations. She maintains minimal traditional marketing.

Looking ahead, Mary Jo plans to focus on "high-impact programs" for intensive client work, further develop her partner who coaches younger generations, and pursue additional coaching certifications. She emphasizes her strong network and willingness to ask for help as key to her success. While admitting a past mistake of over-investing in an unresearched online program, her most valuable investments have been her website, a marketing person for LinkedIn, and assessments. Her main personal challenge is balancing work with her desire for more travel. She advises coaches to define their ideal client, leverage their network, and tell powerful stories to showcase coaching's value.
