The real challenge is that once things start working… the business can grow faster than the structure. And that’s usually where people hit a wall. More sales sounds like the goal. But if your onboarding, delivery, client success, and team systems aren’t ready, growth starts feeling like stress instead of freedom. This is honestly why so many coaches never reach the “7-figure” level. Not because they can’t sell. But because scaling delivery is a completely different game. One of the most interesting examples of this is Prashha. Her business grew 3x between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Sales were coming in, but behind the scenes, it felt messy. Clients were moving faster than the systems. Hiring didn’t magically fix it. And everything felt like a temporary patch. So this Tuesday, we’re recording a live episode of The Career Coaches Podcast with her. Not to do a highlight reel. But to talk about what actually changed, what broke first, and what she had to rebuild to keep growing. We’re going to dig into things like: • What client success looks like at volume • Why “just hire someone” usually backfires early • What most coaches don’t realize about delivering results at scale If you want to join live, we’ll be streaming it on LinkedIn (register here). And if you can’t make it, comment “recording” and I’ll make sure you get it once it’s up on streaming platforms.

When I met Adam and Reno, they were both building their own businesses in very different ways. Different backgrounds. Different styles. Different ideas about marketing, and especially about what “good content” looked like on LinkedIn. What made the partnership work wasn’t that we were the same; it’s that we saw things differently. My focus has always been on business structure, clarity, and execution. Theirs was on distribution, messaging, and the corporate language their audiences understood inside out. Helping them build their businesses was one of the most energizing things I’ve done. And once we combined our perspectives, we realized we could support a lot more coaches than any of us could alone. That’s what led to the program we ran together, what many of you knew as the LinkedIn Coaches Accelerator. Three full cohorts. An evergreen version. Dozens of coaches hitting their first clients in 12 weeks. It was intense, fun, and honestly a reminder of how powerful complementary skills can be. Which brings me to something new we’re excited about. We’re launching a podcast together. It’s going to be a monthly live conversation about the career coaching industry: Real trends, behind-the-scenes perspectives, what’s changing, what to expect in 2026, and how to navigate all of it with a bit more clarity. We’ll be hosting it on LinkedIn and YouTube. The first episode will be recorded live this Tuesday at 9 am EST. If you want to join us, tune in live, ask questions, or just hang out and listen.

One thing I notice a lot with early-stage coaches is how hard it is to explain what makes their offer different. And it’s rarely a confidence issue; it’s usually that the way they talk about their value is too vague or too similar to everything already out there. The truth? Most offers don’t need to be reinvented. They just need a clearer way of showing: • What clients already expect • What you uniquely bring to the table • Who your work is actually meant for When those pieces line up, your offer stops sounding like “career coaching” and starts sounding like your coaching. I actually talked about this in a YouTube video this week, breaking down why most coaches struggle with articulation and how to make your value instantly clearer. But instead of just watching the video, let’s make this interactive. If you want feedback, drop your unique value proposition or transformation statement in the comments. I’ll pick one and record a Loom reviewing it and giving practical guidance on how to make it stronger and more distinct. Who’s up for the challenge?

With AI content everywhere, it’s harder than ever to know who actually understands the work and who’s just repeating things that sound good. But when you watch someone coach live (no scripts, no edits) it becomes clear very quickly whether they know the drill. That’s something I want to lean into more this year. More real conversations. More unscripted problem-solving. More chances for you to see how I approach things in real time, whether here in the community or on other platforms. So next Tuesday, January 27th at 9am EST, I’m hosting a LinkedIn Live Ask Me Anything. Anything you’d normally ask a business coach when you want clarity instead of guesswork. Think offers, pricing, focus, clients, growth, structure… or whatever you’re dealing with right now. This is a chance to get personalized direction without the generic fluff that gets recycled online. Here’s the link to the event: https://www.linkedin.com/events/askmeanything-careercoaching-bu7420119116176330752/theater/ If you’re joining, bring a question you want me to answer. And if you already know what you want to ask, feel free to share it here. I’d love to see what’s on your mind.
