Helping clients change is at the root of coaching work--that's exactly why I wanted to interview life coach Liz Applegate, who's made helping clients change during times of transition central to her work.

What's the focus for the session? That's a critical component of successful coaching. Julie Houghton walks us through the craft of establishing a session focus with one of her favorite exercises for clients.

What happens when you stop chasing a dream job—and start creating meaningful work on your own terms? In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, I talk with Laura Simms, career coach and creator of Your Career Homecoming, about how she built a coaching business that’s both purposeful and profitable. 

We dig into the realities of narrowing your niche, staying aligned with your values, and trusting your own voice in a noisy online world. Laura shares the mindset shifts and business choices that helped her grow with integrity. If you’re craving clarity and direction as a coach, this is for you.

Andrea Scher is our guest on the Craft of Coaching podcast, where we talk about how to bring self-compassion into client sessions.
