This episode is an eye opener. 

I don’t think there’s a new coach anywhere who hasn’t wondered … s

"Shouldn't I know more than my clients?"

"Won’t they expect that I have expertise to guide them?" 

"Otherwise, why would they pay me … right?" 

I’ve heard coaches from all walks of life question their fitness to be a professional coach — whether the coach is 

  • younger or older
  • highly credentialed or not at all
  • has vast work experience or none

It’s what I call a garden variety DOUBT. 

It comes with the territory of offering services in exchange for fees. 

Let’s look into this powerful question a bit more because the answer is a paradox. And paradoxes are full of possibility!

I'd love to hear from you. Stay inspired and make things happen! - Rhonda Hess, Prosperous Coach
