Hi Coach, I’m excited to share some great news with you today – my audiobook is officially available on Audible! Recording this audiobook was an incredibly rewarding experience. A year after the book was published, a few close people encouraged me to get into the studio and make it happen. Over two days and nine hours of recording, we turned Become an Authoritative Coach into a two-and-a-half-hour audiobook, which is now ready for you to listen to. 🎧 Download from Audible today What made this project special for me is that I decided to narrate the book myself. Sure, I could’ve used AI or hired someone to do it, but for me, it’s always been important to hear the author’s voice in non-fiction books. There’s something about that personal touch that brings the message home in a way nothing else can. Interestingly, as I read my book line by line in the studio, I had this really personal experience of reconnecting with the message I wrote a year ago. It was this reaffirmation of why I wrote the book in the first place – to help coaches, leaders, and consultants overcome people-pleasing and step into their authoritative presence. Going through that process gave me a renewed sense of purpose and motivation, and I left the studio feeling even more passionate about the work I’m doing. There were a few lessons learned along the way – for one, if you ever do an audiobook, record it before you publish! Even after all the editing and proofreading, I spotted a few little errors while reading aloud. And let me tell you, trying to push through hours of recording in one day isn’t the best idea either! Your voice is an instrument, and I found myself forcing it, so we had to split it across two days to get it done right. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m so glad I did it. I look back on those studio days with fondness, and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you now. If you're interested, you can grab your copy of the audiobook here. Thanks again for your support, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed creating it. 🗣️ 👀 Chris PS. Download Become an Authoritative Coach into your Audible library 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...
