“Coaching,” for those unfamiliar with the term outside of sports, can be a challenge to sell.

How to get over mental blocks that prevent change
CMany clients who seek coaching report a similar issue: mental blocks. Mental blocks are only all too common, and it’s a term that’s best described as a range of experiences that feel as though they’re stunting one’s personal growth.
Why is niche branding so important for coaches?
Here’s the cold, hard truth: there’s a coach behind every tree and on every corner. It’s a rapidly growing industry, and there are many people out there – with the best of intentions – eager to help those seeking guidance.
