The Mindset Coach

There is a point in many coaches’ development where good questions, strong rapport and a reliable coaching framework are no longer enough. You can hear the pattern beneath what the client is saying. You know they are stuck somewhere deeper. And you also know that asking another variation of “What could you do differently?” is probably not going to create the shift they need.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I explore what advanced coaching skills training should actually develop, from deeper listening and pattern recognition to intervention flexibility, ethical maturity and the confidence to respon...

Putting more people into a coaching session does not automatically make it group coaching. And if you have ever been inside a group where one person dominated every conversation, quieter members disappeared into the background, and the whole thing felt more like a webinar with occasional hot seats, you will know exactly what I mean.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I explore what actually makes group coaching different from one-to-one coaching, and why successful group experiences require a distinct set of design and facilitation skills. We look at group dynamics, participation, psychological safety, accountability...

When something is not quite working in your coaching business, it is very easy to assume you need more. More qualifications, more followers, more confidence, more clients, a better niche, a better website or another tool to add to the collection.

But what if you do not need more of everything? What if there is simply one area that needs your attention, and strengthening that one piece could improve everything around it?

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I introduce the Five C’s of Coaching Success: clarity, credibility, clients, capability and confidence. We...

The coaching industry is full of tools. Apps, assessments, worksheets, prompts, trackers, systems and now an ever-growing range of AI platforms all promise to help us coach more effectively. But more tools do not automatically make us better coaches.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I share 12 tools that genuinely earn their place in a professional coaching practice. From coaching agreements, intake forms and confidential notes to diagnostic assessments, accountability tools, transformational methodologies and the mentoring and peer support that help us develop our own skills. We also look at how to build a useful...

Being caring, intuitive and a naturally good listener can give you a wonderful foundation for coaching. But none of those things, on their own, make someone a great coach. So what actually does?

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I explore the skills that sit beneath exceptional coaching, from presence, active listening and ethical judgement to curiosity, challenge, self-awareness and a deeper understanding of mindset and human change. I also look at what develops as coaches move from ACC foundations towards PCC-level refinement, why frameworks should support rather than control the conversation, and how our...

Life coach or mindset coach? It sounds like a question about choosing a niche. I think it is actually a much more interesting question about how change happens.

A client may come to coaching wanting more confidence, a career change, better leadership skills or a healthier habit. But underneath that goal sits a human being with beliefs, emotions, expectations, identity, habits and established patterns of behaviour. In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I explore why I believe mindset is not simply another coaching specialism, but a foundation that can strengthen every type of coaching.

A coaching session can contain thoughtful questions, valuable insights and a highly engaged client and still fail to create meaningful change.

The difference is often not the quality of one particular question. It is whether the coach can create a clear, ethical and purposeful process that helps the client move from arriving in the conversation to identifying what really matters, exploring what is influencing it and integrating a useful shift beyond the session.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I walk you through five stages for structuring transformational coaching sessions: arrival, focus, exploration...

ACC or PCC? On the surface, the difference may appear to be a matter of training hours, client experience and which credential you can place after your name. But the more important distinction is what each stage asks of you as a coach.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I explore what genuinely changes as you progress from ACC to PCC, from the way you listen and partner with clients to how confidently you can remain with complexity, challenge established thinking and respond to what is happening beneath the presenting goal. We will also look...

Your client understands the pattern. They know what they need to do differently and can explain exactly why change matters. Yet, a week later, they are back in the same behaviour. What is missing?

Insight is valuable, but insight alone does not always create transformation. In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, we explore seven coaching methods that help clients move beyond understanding and into meaningful, lasting change. We look at the foundations of professional coaching alongside NLP, hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy®, mindset-based models, somatic and behavioural integration, and the distinct power of group coaching.

The coaching profession is growing, and growth alone does not tell us where it is heading. Client expectations are rising, and artificial intelligence is changing the way coaches work. Information is more accessible than ever, and clients are becoming increasingly discerning about the people they trust to support them.

The question is no longer whether coaching will change. It is which coaches will be ready to change with it, without losing the human connection at the heart of the profession.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I explore seven trends shaping the future...

Coaching isn’t meant to be about endless admin, clunky onboarding, or second‑guessing whether you’re working on the right thing. You became a coach to create transformation, the kind that lasts. Yet too often, traditional processes keep us circling the surface while clients are craving depth.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I’m introducing you to Mindset Dimensions, the integrated diagnostic and coaching framework that changes everything. It’s not just another tool; it’s an upgrade. An upgrade in how you onboard, how you coach, and how confidently you facilitate transformation.

If you’...

Becoming a coach is easy. Becoming a credible, ethical and truly transformational coach is not.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I will walk you through the exact training pathways offered at the Mindset Coach Academy, and more importantly, help you understand which one is right for you. Whether you are just starting out, ready to deepen your impact, or looking for a comprehensive professional qualification, this conversation cuts through the noise of surface-level certifications and focuses on what actually develops confident, competent coaches.

If you are thinking seriously about stepping into coaching...

There’s a quiet moment between Christmas and New Year where everything softens just enough for clarity to arrive. The noise fades, the pace slows, and the truth you’ve been avoiding becomes harder to ignore.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I will invite you into that pause, the space before the pivot, where real decisions are made. Not about resolutions or goals, but about identity. About who you’ve been, who you’re becoming, and what it will truly take to step into your next level of mastery as a coach and leader.

If...

Every December, I love to pause and reflect, not just on what we’ve achieved, but on who we’ve become as coaches. And this year, I’m inviting you into one of my favourite traditions: the Naughty and Nice List for coaches.

This isn’t about judgement. It’s about honesty. The “naughty” patterns are the ones that quietly hold you back, avoiding visibility, collecting courses without actually developing your coaching skills, or trying to grow without community. The “nice” list celebrates the habits that truly build confidence and credibility, such as consistent practice, professional training, and showing up eve...

There’s a truth in the coaching industry that almost no one talks about,  and it’s the reason some coaches thrive while others stay stuck, no matter how many courses they take or how much content they create. The coaches who grow sustainably aren’t just skilled; they’ve developed the invisible abilities that make success possible.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the hidden skills that determine whether you’ll ever become fully booked, and the professional mastery you need once you are. From emotional availability and identity‑...

Momentum. It’s the missing ingredient that keeps 98% of coaches circling instead of growing. Not motivation, not inspiration, momentum. The force that builds your business, attracts clients, and shapes your identity as a powerful coach.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I reveal the hidden leaks that drain momentum and share the three internal codes that the top 2% of coaches use to grow year after year. You’ll learn practical activations to stop self-sabotage, align your identity, and create consistent forward motion.

If you’re ready to stop stalling and start building sustainable growth...

Why aren’t clients coming? You’ve done the training, you know you can help people, but the enquiries and bookings just aren’t landing. The truth is, it’s rarely about needing another certification or a fancier website; it’s about the invisible patterns of self-sabotage that hold you back.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I’ll show you the three blocks that stop coaches from attracting clients and the three powerful shifts you can make to fix them fast. From clarity before confidence, to rituals that build consistency, to conversations that create connection...

Where is coaching heading next? The industry is evolving at a pace we’ve never seen before. Clients are more discerning, technology is reshaping delivery, and credibility is becoming the new currency. Add to that a renewed craving for in-person connection, and it’s clear: the future of coaching looks very different from the past.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I will explore the key shifts shaping our profession and share practical strategies to help you future-proof your practice. From mastering timeless human coaching skills to integrating AI intelligently, building data-informed practices, and creating scal...

Consistency. It’s the word we all know we need, yet the one we often struggle to embody. As coaches, we start with energy and vision, but then life happens: a busy week, a cancelled client, a post that doesn’t land. Suddenly, momentum slips away.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I’m sharing the truth about consistency: it’s not about willpower, it’s about identity. You’ll discover the three psychological drivers that make or break consistency, learn my Momentum Loop framework, and find out how to reconnect with flow when you’ve lost your r...

Artificial Intelligence isn’t coming; it’s already here, and it’s transforming how we coach, connect, and create results.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, Lara explores what it truly means to coach in an era where human and artificial intelligence work side by side. You’ll learn how to integrate AI thoughtfully into your coaching practice without losing the presence, intuition, and ethics that make coaching so powerful.

From AI glasses that read emotion to tools that detect stress and enhance reflection, Lara reveals what’s already possible, what’s next, and ho...

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering which coaching certification is right for you, or whether you even need one, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m unpacking the real differences between mindset coaching and life coaching, and why the language you use (and the depth you go to) matters more than ever. 

We’ll explore the distinctions between ICF ACC and PCC levels, what makes a certification truly robust, and how to choose a programme that sets you up for long-term success, not just a shiny certificate.

Whethe...

Many coaches use the terms life coach and mindset coach interchangeably, but they’re not the same.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, Lara unpacks the key differences between life coaching and mindset coaching, and why understanding them will transform both your impact and credibility as a coach.

You’ll learn how to position yourself as a practitioner of deep, measurable transformation, attract the right clients for your work, and understand why mindset coaching isn’t just about positivity, it’s about rewiring beliefs, shifting identity, and creating lasting change.

If you’ve e...

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I’m not ready to coach yet” or “What if I don’t know what to say in a session?”

If so, you’re not alone, and the good news is, confidence doesn’t come before coaching. It comes through coaching.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I’m sharing how to build the skills and mindset that will help you show up with calm, competence, and clarity, no matter where you are on your coaching journey. From using structured models that give your int...

When I ran my very first group coaching programme, I thought it would be just like one-to-one coaching—only with more people. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The truth is, most group coaching containers fail not because of the coach, but because the structure doesn’t support transformation. Without the right design and facilitation, groups quickly become overwhelming, unbalanced, and ineffective. But when done right, group coaching can create breakthroughs and a community that one-to-one coaching alone can’t match.

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, I’m sharing the biggest pitfalls t...

In this episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast, we answer the question What is a mindset coach and why do I need one?

"What is a mindset coach, and do I need one?" At its core, all coaching is rooted in mindset. It’s about helping individuals bridge the gap between their current state and their desired future, supporting them in setting and achieving meaningful goals. Mindset coaching goes beyond setting goals—it digs deeper.

This episode of The Mindset Coach Podcast explores how to price your coaching services. 

You've probably heard advice to "charge what you're worth", but this mindset can be misleading. Your value as a person and coach is priceless, and setting your rates shouldn’t be based on personal worth but rather on the transformative outcomes you help clients achieve. 

Pricing isn’t about self-worth; it’s about the real, tangible change you bring to those you serve. By shifting the focus from personal worth to the value of the results.

We’ll explore how pricin...

As mindset coaches, we sometimes work with clients who are striving to overcome challenges in their personal or professional lives. 

While coaching is a powerful tool for personal growth and goal achievement, it’s important to recognise when our clients are dealing with trauma and to know what to do if and when it presents itself during the coaching relationship. 

Trauma can manifest in many ways, and it’s essential to know how to spot when the client’s needs may exceed the ethical and professional boundaries of coaching. 

In this week’s episode, we...
