Hi Coach, As we approach the weekend, I find myself inspired by something Simon Sinek said a long time ago - Always to be willing to read and learn outside of where you’re comfortable and what’s already known to you. With that in mind, I want to shake things up and dive into some new content. And who better to ask for recommendations than this amazing community of coaches and consultants? So here’s my ask: What’s the single best book, podcast, or article you’ve come across this year? It could have shifted your perspective, given you a new tool, or simply inspired you to think differently. Whether it’s about coaching, leadership, personal growth, or any other topic you found impactful, I’d love to hear about it. Why I’m asking: I believe in the power of continuous learning and exploring new ideas. Stepping outside of my comfort zone and diving into something new and different can lead to unexpected insights and growth. Plus, it’s always exciting to discover what others in our field find valuable. What’s in it for you: If I get 10+ responses, I’ll curate a list of these recommendations and send it out on Monday. This way, we all benefit from each other’s discoveries and maybe find that next great read or listen for the week ahead! How to share: Just hit reply and let me know your top recommendation. A brief note on why it stood out to you would be fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what’s resonated with you this year! 🗣️ 👀 Chris PS. As always, if you want to take your coaching practice to the next level, I have a couple of spots open for private clients. Rates start at £1000 per month. Book a call with me here. |

Hi Coach, I was recently a guest on Trevor Lee’s Better Presentations More Sales podcast, and it was a fantastic conversation you don’t want to miss. The episode is titled Don’t be a people pleaser, and we dove deep into the problem of people pleasing, especially in the context of delivering presentations. It’s a challenge I’ve been targeting, and there’s a lot I unpacked in this interview that I haven’t shared before. 🎧 Listen here: Don't be a people pleaser with Chris Marr One of the key...
Hi Coach, Thanks to those who responded with your thoughts on how you would handle the client situation I shared earlier. Now, I would like to explain how I actually responded and explain why this approach works. But first, let’s look at how a people pleaser and an authoritative coach might react differently. The people-pleaser response People pleasers often have a high need to be liked, and that can drive their behaviour in tough moments like this. When a client comes to you with...
Hi Coach, Let me set the scene for you. I was jumping into a session with a client, a sales and marketing strategy client I’ve been working with for six months. I think everything’s on track, and I'm prepared for a typical coaching session. But right out the gate, the client surprises me with... "Chris, we’re getting really frustrated. We’ve put in the work over the last six months, but we’re not seeing the results we expected. We’re nowhere close to feeling like we’re getting the ROI we...
