Crazy Idea?

When I first started as a coach, I remember nervously updating my LinkedIn profile to include the word ‘Coach’ in my headline. Clicking ‘Save’ filled me with doubt, worry, and fear.
What would people think?
Would they laugh behind my back?
Did I deserve to call myself a coach? My first instinct was to remove it immediately before anyone saw it and judged me.
?
Back then, I believed I had to be serious and ‘professional’ to succeed.
Fast forward a few years, and I hardly recognise that person.
Today, I share things on social media that I wouldn’t have dreamed of sharing before. I’ve embraced my unique, authentic self, and life is so much easier without hiding behind a mask.
I've found being myself takes a lot less energy.
?
This transformation didn't happen overnight. It has come through experience, experimentation, and the confidence they bring.
It also comes from my understanding of the 3 Principles, which have profoundly impacted my life and how I approach my business.
?
I’m still in a transition stage, balancing a full-time job with running my coaching and AI businesses on the side. But embracing authenticity has made the journey much more fulfilling for me.
I’ve now set a deadline for my full transition: 8th April 2025. That’s when I will finally give up the security of a full-time role to fully pursue my passions.
?
I love this quote by William H. Murray that encapsulates this beautifully:
?
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans. That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred."
?
This quote speaks to any decision we commit to, whether in life or business. It’s a reminder of my own commitment on this journey.

Now about that crazy idea of mine.
I know the coaching journey can be a lonely one, filled with second-guessing and comparisons. It’s easy to forget that we’re all on our unique paths.
I want you to see that embracing your authentic self is your superpower. You have your own unique recipe that the world will benefit from.
?
My mission is to remove the overwhelm from coaching, especially in the early stages, and foster a sense of community where your voice matters. I want to take the fear out of technology and help you thrive with just what you need at your stage of the journey.
Sometimes we commit to things we don’t need, so it’s no wonder we feel overwhelmed.
?
No matter what stage you're at in your coaching journey I want to show you how to leverage AI to make things easier and see how it can become a useful assistant in your practice.
?
My idea, is to create a unique programme, built around you and what you need, but using my experience.
?
Imagine a programme that supports you wherever you are on your coaching journey.
A programme where you have accountability, a safe, supportive group of peers, and where I coach and mentor you in a group setting.
I'm also thinking of an initial 1-2-1 kick-start call unique to you to help you? build momentum from wherever you are on your journey right now.
?
I want you to be able to embrace your authentic self on social media, become comfortable on video, and navigate technology overwhelm whether you’re a beginner or have been using it for a while.
Plus, you’d learn the value of creating an email list and lead magnets.
