#181: Talkin' Shop—The Power of Being Your Authentic Self in Coaching (And Why Buzzwords Just Get in the Way)

The coaching world is booming, but with thousands of new coaches and consultants entering the industry, it's becoming a more crowded space. If you're looking to make an impact, the question quickly becomes: How do I get noticed?
