Dallas Travers

If you're a coach who serves everyday people who want their businesses to flourish, you need to know Dallas Travers. She has created a Ripple Effect System that teaches the exact steps to attract paying clients, build your list daily, then scale your business with a course so you never again have to wonder, "what should I do today?". 

Dallas started her journey as a coach by successfully carving out a new cottage industry in entertainment where she taught actors the entrepreneurial skills they need to acquire acting work without a talent agent. She then expanded her reach and began to mentor other coaches, which then gave birth to The Hive.

Today, Dallas is on a mission to help purpose driven coaches build values-centered businesses and question the commonly accepted practices inside the online world to make an authentic impact without compromise.

Her clients have had a lot of firsts: first paying client, first five figure launch, first five figure day, first six figure year... all with confidence + clarity because they finally have a plan that feels good + the tools to implement.

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.
