Hey all, Waited 10 mins but had nobody join so jumping off Zoom. Today's plan was to work on your September Priorities re: clients, but you can review the slides if you want to DIY this and bring your focus and priorities to the Office Hours Q&A this Friday. Any questions, drop them below! ~Kev

First call, booked! I'm excited but also very nervous (although I've had plenty before, this time feels different)! fingers crossed!

Hey guys, Hope you found today's session useful. The Recap & Actions doc is available in the Master Doc, to help you stay focused on the right next steps. As I mentioned on the call, I'm travelling to a wedding tomorrow and only online for part of the morning. If you need me before then, drop me a message on LinkedIn or here. Our next coaching calls from now and through July will be more implementation-focused. There'll be more opportunities for live coaching and specific support. And the one thing I will say is you will get far more help on these next calls if you've already taken enough action to create evidence of progress. Stay on the green line 🟢 (yes I know that's a circle but you get the point) The more you do the work, the more I can work with you. @Alex Becker said at the end of today's workshop that it was 'dangerous' haha! He was feeling energised, which is great. Use the energy when you've got it. But on that note, remember that the skills you're building can make you dangerous (in a positive way). When you know how to connect with the right people, be visible and valuable in your conversations, and start inviting them to offers when you know can genuinely help? You'll start booking calls and getting more clients. That makes you a dangerous operator (I wouldn't want to be your competitor 👀) Just remember that's why we're here. So keep up the great work, reach out if you get stuck, and I'll see you all next Tuesday for the next sprint! ~Kev

Hi All, I am from Ireland and live in Dublin. I provide leadership, confidence and career progression coaching to software engineers and technical professionals on a 1-1 basis. In business for over two years now. It has been an interesting journey with a lot of ups and downs. I help my clients to gain more visibility, build influence and to be more confident with their communication when demonstrating their value and impact. I be interested to hearing about your own business journey and learning from each of you.

I’d love to hear how other language coaches make progress visible for their clients. A relatively new client recently told me that being able to clearly see and track their progress is really important for their motivation—which makes complete sense. Until now, I’ve mainly documented progress through feedback emails after our sessions (sentence corrections, vocabulary, recurring patterns, etc.). But this client doesn’t really have time to read detailed emails, and the format doesn’t necessarily help them see how they’re developing over time. So I’m curious: How do you measure progress, especially in one-to-one coaching focused on professional communication rather than moving through traditional language levels? Do you use regular assessments, self-reflection, recordings, specific communication goals, or something else? I’d especially love to hear about approaches that are simple for the client to follow and don’t create a huge amount of extra admin for the coach 🙃. Thank you! 🫶
