Want to be a bolder, more effective coach? Start with this book.
This month’s pick: The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier.
Short, practical, and refreshingly direct, this book will change the way you coach and how you think about coaching.
Why I recommend it:
It teaches you how to say less and ask more—so your clients get to the heart of their challenges faster.
It’ll sharpen your listening, strengthen your presence, and help you stay out of advice-giving mode (a trap even seasoned coaches fall into).
This one’s perfect for both new and experienced coaches who want to deepen their impact.

Coaches, if client creation feels harder than it should, this one’s for you.

But something inside still felt trapped.
You lead teams.
Hold space.
Keep it together.
But the pressure to perform
—to always have it all figured out—
starts to chip away at something deeper.
Until your truth has nowhere else to go.
This client came into our space with the weight of secrets
she didn’t know she was still carrying.
And when she finally gave herself permission to name them—
to be witnessed, without judgment—
something shifted.
She called it the beginning of her freedom.
And she’s not alone.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself
to be accepted or respected—this story is for you.
Write “Seen” in the comments
if this gave you the permission you didn’t know you needed.

You’ve built the business.
But what about the belief system underneath it?
The one that quietly says:
“Don’t be too much.”
“You have to earn rest.”
“If you slow down, it’ll all fall apart.”
The thing is—beliefs like these don’t disappear just because you’ve achieved success.
They often tighten their grip the more successful you become.
That’s why I created the ACT Method:
a simple, powerful framework to help high-level leaders and coaches break free from the stories keeping them stuck.
Awareness — Name what’s true (not what’s “expected”)
Choice — Shift out of autopilot and into alignment
Transformation — Build a life and business that reflects your real values
Because scaling a business on outdated beliefs?
That’s not leadership.
That’s survival.
What belief is currently hindering you from scaling to the next level in your business? Share in the Comments below.
