The Story of A Listening Life™
I've been an Executive Coach since 2005, post-grad qualified and self-employed since 2013. I now run several businesses and finally feel as if I've got the hang of things. I still make plenty of mistakes, who doesn't - and I now know they're part of the game.
​
A Listening Life is the podcast I wish I'd had in the first few years when I was making a meal out of self-employment.
​
I'm upset to hear so many coaches are struggling to get their balance in the freelance world and believe we have to step up and develop the business skills of coaches, in order to have the powerful and wonderful impact on the world that coaching could bring.
​​
I'm now doing this in two key ways:
1) Through A Listening Life™ Business Club: An online membership mentoring business development group and
2) With the podcast.
​
My giant thanks to all the incredible guests who've freely shared their wisdom and insights.
They're all so individual and different from each other, I have no doubt that one or more of these episodes will bring value to any freelance coach, or to someone considering making the leap.
​The trailer to the podcast is a good way to hear me speak, and get a feel for whether it might be useful.
​
For the last two years I've been beavering away to create my own business development tool for Coaches to adopt and use in their own business. At last it's ready and I'm using it in 1:1 mentoring sessions with Coaches. In Spring 2025 I am finally able to launch the online membership version, to make this more widely accessible at a manageable price-point for the newbie coach.
It's built from a combination of:
- all my successes and failures in business
- my previous career as a sales leader
- the wisdom and insights shared by the awesome guests on my podcast and the dozens of inspiring peers and colleagues around me, who've cracked the code and broken through to a successful self-employed world as a coach.

Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you'll explore ways that we I might be useful in your business.
All the very best of luck and good wishes for your freelance coaching business as you build A Listening Life.
