Building Your Coaching Practice
So, you’ve just completed your coach training and you are newly minted Life Coach. Now what? This is something I have thought a lot about over the last 12 years – both for myself when I was starting out as a just-certified coach in 2007, and for the many new coaches I have mentored and supported...
When the Coach is Ready, the Clients Appear
I coach, supervise and/or mentor many coaches. One of the recurring issues that comes up in sessions is bewilderment and frustration about erratic work. It’s a phenomenon I also experience, as I suspect most coaches do. Some weeks we are so busy we can barely draw breath and other weeks we have...
Why am I so tired when I am doing what I love?
It’s very confusing. How can we, as coaches, have traded in the dead-end, soulless job to be doing work that we love, serving everyone else’s and our own higher good and still be feeling tired, overwhelmed, teary and sometimes downright homicidal? Over and over I see coaches who are feeling exhausted...
Don’t Spend Money You Don’t Have
So you’ve got your certification as a coach. You’ve completed your training, passed your assessments and are ready to go out and change the world and all the people who live in it.

That odd, but beautiful experience of being physically and mentally worn out, but emotionally, spiritually and relationally fed and nurtured. My day started at 8:30am with me teaching a two-hour adult child coach training class. ...
Better than Alright
I am not a lecturer. I am incapable of talking for two straight hours without boring myself, and everyone around me, to tears. I need a participatory class in order for my teaching to work. This morning I delivered Class One of the first module of my Adult Child Coach training programme. I have...
Learning and Doing
I went to a training workshop this weekend. It was on Transactional Analysis, which I love and I use a lot of in my work. (After this weekend, I will be using it even more.) I have been to three TA workshops this year – two of them in October - and every time I go to one I am more convinced of...
Finding My True North
This year, Judy klipin realised a dream she has held for six years – she qualified as a life coach under the guidance of Martha Beck. Her story is proof that if you can dream it, you can do it. I am a Martha Beck trained and certified life coach. I had dreamt of being able to say those words since...
