Know Yourself / Show Yourself
Nearly three years ago, BBB Community Mentor, Kieran Morris, joined a fledging community for coaches on a hunch that it might be just what he was looking for. He'd already spent time and money on many of the magical silver bullet solutions out there – outsourcing his social media to an agency, trying out a 'bulletproof lead gen' strategy, signing up for those seminars that promise to teach you how to win at LinkedIn. He truly hated them all – the strategies, not the people – and had rarely felt so little alignment with my own values and vision. Finding Better Bolder Braver made it feel as though a door had been opened to another world for Kieran. He met people he loved, formed deep friendships, collaborated, get clearer on his coaching offering and became less attached to the idea of what it is to market oneself as a coach. Kieran is now working for that very community as a Mentor, alongside his friend and fellow community old-timer, Ellie Lloyd-Jones. Both felt that that they wanted to offer their expertise and lived experience back to the others with whom they share this inspriing space. On this podcast episode, Kieran and Ellie chat about their plans for a new offering in the BBB community. Their new sessions - 'Know Yourself' and 'Show Yourself' - will run alongside the existing curriculum, and will give space for members to explore the depth and breadth of what it is to put ourselves out there – emotionally and practically.

The Future of Coaching according to Thomas Kolster - Goodvertising
Thomas Kolster's 'Zone of Genius' is where marketing, business and sustainability meet.He continuously challenges the status-quo with his vocal, and often provocative, views on values, purpose, and leadership."In an over-crowded do-good market," he says, "people don’t buy your values or your “why”, but rather who you can help them become... Change begins with you!"We are looking forward to talking to Thomas, a dear member of our ‘Marketing Family’, about how the pressure of being a global citizen can be both exciting and inspiring, and can also feel overwhelming.We want to inspire coaches to get over their fear of putting themselves out there in favour of focusing on the bigger picture system change they might affect, one client at a time.And at the same time, we recognise that feeling that you need a "value", a "purpose" and a "why" can be tricky in itself...
