I love your take on this. As a former gifted child and multitalented individual I’ve heard a lot from people about how my resistance to specialization or focus is hurting my business but that’s not how I see it.
I work with both executives and coaches and I think working with the other group helps me a lot.
Because I don’t just coach coaches I’m able to offer my students the perspective of what it’s like to grow a business that serves a non coach population.
My stories and examples are outside the coaching space which I think makes them more valuable.
And because I teach coaches about coaching I’m able to more easily teach my executive clients how to use coaching practices in their leadership.
I know how to demonstrate and explain basic coaching techniques and how to deal with common challenges that arise when people go to apply them.
The result of this is that both groups get the benefit of my more complex focus which I think is something so unique I’m able to offer them.
Thank you for saying something I’ve long felt but have found that few other people truly understand. 🫶
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and that you see yourself in it! And very interesting to hear about your multi-faceted approach to using coaching techniques beyond just becoming a coach! we could use more of this skillset for sure in more spaces
