This coaching delivery style gave me my life back

Less pressure. More value. Clients love it, and I do too.I was tired, overbooked, and honestly... starting to hate how I was coaching. The calls, the calendar, the pressure, it wasn’t sustainable. So I changed the way I deliver my offer, and what happened next surprised me.

Welcome to The Find Coaching Clients Newsletter for learning where to focus your energy, so you can find plenty of clients.

If you’ve ever found yourself dreading another client call, or feeling oddly disconnected from something you thought you were excited about, it happens. And I know what the issue is…

How you’re delivering your coaching.

Maybe you’re following the “standard” way you were taught: Weekly calls. Zoom sessions. Structured modules.

But what if that structure doesn’t actually match your energy, or how your clients want to be supported? Some people thrive with live sessions. Others feel safer with voice notes and space to process. Some clients love regular check-ins. Others want a single deep-dive and they’re good.

There’s no one “right” format.

But there is a format that fits you, and the way your people move through transformation.

And when you find it? Everything feels better, works better, and flows. Coaching becomes something you actually look forward to. Your clients feel more supported. And your offer starts working because it’s aligned. For you and your clients.

Mini Coaching Delivery Style Match Test

Which of these feels most like you?

Start with YOU:

Which of these feel most like your natural rhythm?

“I want to coach without being tied to a calendar.”
Email or Voice-Note Coaching (like Voxer)

“I love deep focus and fast transformation.” 
VIP Day or Coaching Sprint

“I want to support more people without burning out.” 
Coach-on-Call Office Hours or Group Voxer

“I get energized by live, in-the-moment connection.”
Phone only (No video, remember “phones”?!) or Live Video Coaching

Now think about THEM, your clients:

Ask yourself:

How much time do they realistically have for coaching? 
Busy professionals (like doctors, execs, or moms) might need asynchronous formats like voice notes, email, or laser coaching.

How do they best process information and implement? 
Do they like talking it out? Prefer written feedback? Need time to reflect?

What structure would feel like support, not pressure, for them? 
Some clients love weekly calls. Others would thrive with flexible check-ins or one focused sprint.

When your coaching format fits both your energy and your client’s lifestyle, everything flows better.

Get It Done, Finally

If there’s something you’ve been dragging your feet on, a project, a page, an offer, a plan, you don’t need another course or checklist. .

You need a deadline. A plan. And someone in your corner who can help you make clear decisions and move.

That’s exactly what Ready in 3 is for:

  • Three weeks of focused, project-based coaching: 3 calls (one each week)

  • Voxer support between calls (for feedback, materials review, accountability, and momentum)

  • A clear outcome at the end, so you can stop circling and finally move forward

This is for the thing that’s been sitting on your to-do list for way too long.

The idea that’s too important to rush but too stuck to keep waiting on.
We’ll get in.
Get it done.

And get you moving again.

Mind Management & Manifesting Insight

When something in your business feels off, it usually is.
And its origin is often internal. Something doesn’t fit you.

Like too many Zoom calls (especially for the introvert), not enough live interaction (for the extrovert), or not enough time to reflect on the feedback you provide (the contemplator).

That misalignment? It shows up in your energy.

You start procrastinating.
Doubting.
Avoiding.

Your best stuff? Gets missed because you’re not tapping into your full potential. The landscape for it isn’t right (Know what I mean?)

But when your format matches your natural rhythm? Suddenly you want to show up. You feel confident again. You become magnetic.

This is your sign to stop forcing formats that don’t fit.

Choose the kind of coaching that feels light, aligned, and sustainable. That’s when the energy flows, and clients follow that.

Now, that’s not to say that we shouldn’t ever stretch ourselves or try new things or push just outside of our comfort zone. We should, that creates growth. And we need to be in our element too. So find your element in your coaching.

There’s so much to learn when building a coaching business. There’s marketing and then there’s all the resistance that comes up as a result of building a business. (It can trigger a lot!)

This episode of The Solo Coach Podcast: How to Make a Promise and Deliver Every Time helps you get over the hump of making a “promise” in your coaching, so you can feel confident in your coaching business. Listen & Enjoy!
