575. 7 Things to Look for in a Coach

How do you get clients as a coach without feeling like you're constantly chasing people, convincing them, or hoping something works?   In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Mark Butler for another conversation about coaching, business, and how we approach getting clients because Mark and I have very different strategies for growing a coaching practice. We talk about organic lead generation, paid advertising, relationship building, and how the right approach depends on the kind of business you actually want to create.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-SlEhF3pgOs Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/581 Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

"Don't worry" sounds like good advice, but if you knew how to stop worrying, wouldn't you already do it?   Worry is something we all experience. We worry about our families, our finances, our health, the world, and all the things that might happen in the future. But telling yourself not to worry doesn't actually help. In this episode, I'm sharing why worry feels so necessary, why it's not the same as wisdom, and how to start getting more leverage over the thoughts creating worry in your life.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DI9ww8eSbpo   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/580   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

Being authentic sounds like a simple goal, but the reality is much more complicated. Especially when you're building something, creating content, or putting yourself out there, there's a constant balance between being real and being intentional.   In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Mark Butler for a conversation about perfectionism, authenticity, content creation, and what it really means to put yourself out there. Mark and I talk about where perfectionism can be useful, where it can keep us stuck, and how our strengths can sometimes become the very things that slow us down.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fBbmgr59s6w   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/579   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

What if the amount of money you have in your bank account isn't just a reflection of how hard you work, but how you think about money?   In this episode, I'm sharing how rich people think about money and the mindset shifts that can change the way you see wealth. I'll talk about why the way you see money matters, how our beliefs about what is possible can shape what we create, and why changing your relationship with money can be more powerful than simply trying to earn more.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oOzNV8nlB1o Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/578 Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/  

Do you ever find yourself stuck in indecision, afraid of making the wrong choice, or spending way too much time trying to figure out the "perfect" decision? What if the thing slowing you down isn't the decision itself, but the way you're approaching it?   Join me this week as I share eight strategies successful people use when making decisions. You'll learn how to stop overthinking, make choices with less drama, avoid constantly revisiting decisions you've already made, and start making decisions based on the future you want to create instead of the past you're trying to recreate.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/q1p1ZmliisM   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/577   Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/

What if finding clients didn't have to feel like constantly convincing people to work with you? What if instead, you could create an experience where people get a real result, see what you're capable of, and naturally want more?   In this episode, I'm talking with health coach and founder of The Wellness Vault, Valerie Feghali, about one of her favorite ways to serve potential clients and grow a coaching business: running challenges. Valerie shares how she began using challenges to grow her own coaching business and why they can be such a powerful way to help people experience a quick win, build trust, and see the value of working with you.   Valerie's 5-day Challenge Builder Bootcamp is happening from August 10th to August 14th, 2026.
