308 Coaching: Clarity, Confidence and a More Profitable Business

from Grow My Salon Business Podcast · host Antony Whitaker

I’ve never done an episode solely about coaching before, but as more salon owners than ever are either having a coach or wanting to become a coach, I think it’s about time. Coaching has been one of the biggest game-changers in my own career and in the lives of hundreds of salon owners I’ve worked with across more than 14 countries. Yet for many, it’s still a bit of a mystery.In this episode, I unpack what coaching is (and what it isn’t), how it’s different from mentoring, consulting, and teaching, and why it can accelerate your results in ways that books and courses alone can’t. I share stories from my own journey, both as a coach and as someone who’s been coached, and the qualities I believe you should look for (and avoid) when hiring one.If you’ve been quietly wondering whether coaching might be the right next step for you, this conversation will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical insight you need to decide. And yes, I’ll tell you exactly how you can work with me before my prices go up later this year.IN THIS EPISODE:[02:19] Coaching’s rise in the salon industry[06:55] The common thread between salon owners who seek coaching[09:41] How coaching brings clarity, confidence, and profit[11:02] What coaching is, and what it isn’t[12:22] How my experience combines mentoring and coaching[12:36] What to look for when hiring a coach[14:12] What to avoid in a coach[15:58] How I help my coaching clients grow profit without extra stress[17:38] Why you don’t need to figure it all out on your ownWant MORE to help you GROW?📚 Check out our Bestselling GROW Books https://growmysalonbusiness.com/books/🆘  Management overwhelm!?
