Learn how Impostor Syndrome affects Coaches and coaching clients.

A few weeks ago, I interviewed Kris Kelso, Executive Coach and Author of the book “Overcoming The Impostor.” In his book, Kris defines what Impostor Syndrome is, how it affects coaching (and coaches!).

What was interesting for the coaching community are three items that stood out:

  1. How coaches are affected by Impostor Syndrome and what it means
  2. How coaches can help their clients with the content in Kris’ book
  3. How coaches can build successful businesses by using on one of Kris’ key success factors.

Kris Shares Powerful Tips To Grow Your Coaching Business

Kris shared valuable insights in all three areas. Learn from the interview what you need to change to land more clients by making just one small but powerful change.

One of those insights was based on research on what it takes to attract clients and convert them to work with you. Similarly, we shared an article a while back, called How to Turn Free Consultations Into Winning Clients.
