Group coaching how-to
Group coaching can be one of the most powerful—and profitable—ways to support clients. But if you’ve only ever worked one-on-one, the idea of running a group can feel… intimidating. How do you create a safe space for multiple people at once? How do you balance structure with spontaneity? And what if someone dominates the conversation—or says nothing at all?
In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we’re talking all about how to confidently run group coaching sessions. I walk you through the key elements that make group coaching work: from setting expectations and creating group agreements, to designing sessions that serve both individual insight and collective momentum.
We’ll also cover practical strategies for handling common challenges—like managing different personalities, navigating emotional moments, and keeping the group focused without feeling overly rigid or scripted.
Whether you're thinking about adding group coaching to your offerings or want to improve your facilitation skills, this episode gives you the foundation for creating transformational group experiences that feel dynamic, grounded, and truly connected.
Because when done well? Group coaching isn’t just efficient—it’s expansive for everyone involved.
Coaching and Ethics
Let’s talk about ethics—because being a great coach isn’t just about asking powerful questions or helping people set goals. It’s also about showing up with integrity, honoring boundaries, and knowing how to navigate the messy, complex moments that inevitably arise when you’re doing deep work with others.
In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we’re exploring the ethical side of coaching. What does it mean to “stay in your lane” as a coach? How do you recognize when something is outside your scope? What are the common ethical pitfalls new coaches often overlook—and how can you avoid them?
We’ll talk about how to handle situations like emotional intensity in sessions, a client asking for advice, or when you suspect coaching may not be what someone actually needs. I’ll also share why ethical grounding isn’t about rigid rules—it’s about being in right relationship with your clients and your own role.
If you care about coaching as a craft—something that calls for discernment, compassion, and professionalism—this episode is for you. Let’s root your practice in clarity and care, so you can serve others with confidence and integrity.

Average life coach salary
Let’s talk numbers. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we’re diving into one of the most common questions aspiring coaches ask: What do life coaches actually earn? What’s the average life coach salary?
Whether you're thinking about coaching as a side gig, a bridge into more meaningful work, or a full-time business, it's important to understand the financial landscape. But here’s the truth: the answer isn’t as simple as a single number. Average salary data for coaches varies widely depending on experience, business model, niche, location, and how you choose to structure your practice.
In this episode, I break down what the research says about average coach income and the factors that influence those numbers. We’ll explore how new coaches typically get started, what income looks like in the early stages, and how successful coaches grow their earnings over time.
You’ll also hear some of my own thoughts on what it really takes to make a sustainable income as a coach—and why focusing on impact and alignment can ultimately lead to greater income than chasing the numbers alone.
