Whether your coaching focus affects session lengths.
Lack of confidence among new coaches and how it plays into time.
The all-too-common trap of “unnecessary coaching” and how it robs you.

Ways to prep your clients for more effective sessions.
“It's not the session time that people want. It's the transformation.” – Ray Hinish
Ray Hinish
When Ray was a teenager, he never felt like he had extraordinary talent. He was a chubby, nugget-headed kid with Pepsi-bottle glasses. His grades were average. He felt he had no discernible athletic ability. He felt average; in fact, he was average. Today he understands that his “averageness” is his superpower. He was gifted with “averageness”…and the desire to be more than average.
These two competing realities sent him on a quest to learn how to “manufacture extraordinary”.
Throughout the years, he has studied high-performance and human potential starting and read hundreds of books and logged thousands of hours in training on the subject of “manufacturing greatness” in life and business.
Using that knowledge, he has started multiple businesses that have grossed over $30 million. Now his mission is to teach and coach other achievement-focused entrepreneurs to live their potential and dreams!

What is Just Between Coaches?
Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community.
Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care?
This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.
