Ep42: What to tell your job after becoming a coach
from Craft of Coaching Podcast · host Kate Swoboda
Most new life coaches don’t quit their day jobs the moment they graduate from coach training—and they shouldn’t have to. But once you’ve earned your life coach certification and you’re stepping into your new identity, a common question comes up: What do I tell my boss, manager, or team at work now that I’m a coach?In this episode, we’re exploring the nuances of what to tell your job after becoming a coach. We look at different situations—whether you love your salaried job and plan to stay, whether coaching feels like your eventual exit strategy, or whether you’re not quite sure how your day job and coaching identity coexist.We’ll also touch on the personal and professional implications of coming out as a coach in environments that might not understand coaching—or might even feel threatened by it. You’ll leave with some grounded guidance on what to say (and what not to say), how to protect your energy, and why your coaching work doesn’t need to be validated by your coworkers to matter.This is a must-listen if you're wondering how to navigate the transition between coach training and the workplace world you’re still a part of.Coaching + Courage + Community = CLCC.
