Internet Radio – The Coaching Show

In my never-ending quest to find cool things to help us as coaches, I have stumbled upon a gold mine! You may be vaguely aware of internet radio – or maybe you are a fan – but I didn’t realize what a good resource it can be until recently. The best in terms of helping you to run your coaching business is The Coaching Show. The show airs on Wednesday mornings on WS Radio which is “The World Wide Leader in Internet Talk”. The show is hosted by master certified coach, Christopher McAuliffe who is interesting and a good role model of an interviewer.

The next cool thing is that I will be one of the guests this week to discuss The Foundations of a Successful Coaching Business. I will be reviewing the introspective, personal work that all coaches must do to have a thriving business. I call the work The Four Questions and feature it in my e-book, Mind Your Own Biz. This is work that is vital when you begin your business and is important for all coaching entrepreneurs to review periodically in order to stay on top. I hope you will be able to join the show live. I’ll be giving a discount on the e-book to all listeners and giving a free book to one lucky listener.

I am the second guest on the show that day and my time slot is from 11:40-12:00 eastern time. I highly recommend listening from the top of the show at 11:00am eastern because the first guest will be Phillip Sandahl. He is one of the authors of Co-Active Coaching:New Skills for Coaching People toward Success in Work and Life which is the most important textbook you should have on your shelf. Phil leads several of the training functions at the very popular training school, CTI, and is co-founder and principal of Team Coaching International which focuses on working with teams as a system.

One wonderful feature of The Coaching Show and what makes it such a great resource for you as a coach developing your business is that all the shows are archived. There are at least 250 recordings on the site just waiting for you to go explore. You can search the archives by date or by topic. Of course, I highly recommend the section on the Business of Coaching.

To listen live on Wednesday, go to www.wsradio.com and click on the box in the upper left labeled “What’s playing live on WS Radio: Listen Live”. You will need Windows Media Player or Real Player on your computer and if you need it, there are very good directions on how to get it and get started listening. Just click on the tab in the center of the page labeled “How to Listen”. If you already have a player, clicking on the listen link will connect you to the live show.

If you don’t listen live, the archived call should be on the site within a day. In either case, I hope you will come back here after the call and let me know your reactions. I would love to hear how you are working on the Four Questions for your business.
