Beyond the Page Podcast ~ Coaching: To Be or Not To Be

We are excited to share with you the next interview in our “Beyond the Page” series featuring Sandra Hill.

What drives someone to become a coach? In this episode, we bring you an enlightening conversation with Sandra Hill, a professional growth coach and author who unveils the passion behind the profession. Sandra discusses her recent article in choice Magazine, “Coaching: To Be or Not to Be,” and the intrinsic motivations that fuel the journey to becoming a coach. From differentiating coaching from therapy, mentorship, and advising to the essential role of proper certification and training, Sandra’s insights offer a profound look into maintaining the integrity of the coaching profession. Her personal anecdotes provide a vivid portrayal of the multifaceted nature of coaching and its ever-evolving landscape.

The episode also tackles some of the biggest challenges and misconceptions in the coaching world. We address the illusion that coaching is an easy career and stress the importance of ongoing education and reputable certifications. Aspiring coaches will find valuable advice on market research, specialization, and the significance of continuous self-improvement. We further explore how AI is reshaping the coaching industry, sharing our own experiences with AI tools in practice. Balancing the adoption of new technology with a cautious approach, we reflect on our professional journeys and the lessons learned along the way. This is an episode packed with expert tips, professional reflections, and a glimpse into the future of coaching—don’t miss out!

In this episode, I talk with Sandra about the her article published in our June 2024 issue.
