“The times that I made what I would consider mistakes are when I decided to do something, but was so insecure in myself that I didn't want to share the various options with anyone else.” — Rahti Gorfien
Once an aspiring but struggling performer, Rahti Gorfien has since realized the diversity of her background is clearly a key element in the evolution of her coaching style. Having been an actor, playwright, standup comic, private cook, company manager, restaurant hostess, and adoptive parent, she can accurately say she’s experienced life from many enriching perspectives. She even spent several years as a full-time yogini living at an ashram in Pennsylvania!
If you haven’t guessed by now, Rahti is a seeker — and as a result, her approach to life and coaching is both humorous and compassionate. In addition to having become a professionally certified coach, she has been helping individuals realize their creative, vocational, and personal potential since 1990.

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.
