There are many coaches out there and buyers want to have a sense of how they are hiring ahead of time. Referrals help, but so does video where you are being your authentic self so clients get to know the real you. Listen in to here what Sheryl has to say. She has a world of expertise in this field and can help take your coaching business to the next level.

In this episode, I interview Choice Theory parenting coach, Sue Kranz. Sue is a phenomenal parenting coach, having raised six children of her own as a single parent and is now weighing in on some stellar ideas for grandparenting, as well. In this interview, we discuss how to help children with frustration, to self-regulate and to help out around the house. Sue also has some great insight about teaching children about thinking and delineating between helping and rescuing. We also talk about the distinction between compliance and cooperation and how to set your child up to keep track of you instead of the other way around.

In this episode, I interview board certified coach, Phil Lynn, about his ideas on parenting. Phil has some training and had studied William Glasser's Choice Theory psychology, so if you recognize some Choice Theory in this interview, don't be surprised. Phil and I discuss how to "get" your kids to obey you, dealing with sibling rivalry, how to keep your kids from "misbehaving," developing win/win/win solutions when you and your kids are in conflict and how and why to establish your own parental boundaries. If you are interested in speaking with him or attending one of his parenting workshops, see his website at www.phillynn.com or www.thetreasgroup.com.
