Don’t Hire a Business Coach Until You Hear This
from CATALYST: Las Vegas Mastermind For The Empowered Entrepreneur · host Sonia Petkewich
In this episode of the Catalyst Podcast, I’m breaking down how to actually choose the right coach — and why so many people are feeling burned, confused, or disappointed in the coaching space right now. With more and more people calling themselves coaches, the industry has gotten loud… and honestly, a little messy. So I wanted to have a real conversation about what to look for, what to question, and how to make sure you’re investing in the right support for you. I share what coaching should actually feel like, the difference between being told what to do vs. being guided, and why community and mastermind environments can be one of the most powerful ways to grow your business. What You’ll Hear: • Why the coaching industry feels oversaturated right now • Common red flags when choosing a coach • The difference between real coaching vs. being told what to do • Why alignment with your values matters more than strategy • What questions you should be asking before hiring a coach • The importance of a coach’s real-world experience and credentials • Why you should ask about both successes and failures • How mastermind environments create deeper, faster growth • The power of peer-to-peer learning and shared experiences • Why community can unlock what you don’t even know you need • How to decide what you actually want out of coaching Curious About Masterminds? click here to book a call or grab coffee Connect with us: @catalystmastermind | Youtube Produced By: Podcast & Co.
