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, You don’t get into trouble with clients halfway through the project. You get into trouble before the project even starts. In this episode of Say What You See, I’m lifting the lid on one of the most overlooked stages in client work: the bit between signing the deal and actually starting the work. It’s in that little sliver of time where most future problems begin. Missed deadlines, unclear roles, scope creep, unspoken doubts—these are all avoidable if you know what conversations to...
If you're a coach, consultant, or client-facing professional, you've probably wrestled with agendas. Your client expects one. You feel like you should write one. But deep down, you know: it’s admin. It’s a chore. It doesn’t always serve the session. And most of the time, it ends up holding you back. This newsletter is for anyone who feels trapped in the cycle of writing custom agendas, taking minutes, chasing follow-ups, and managing expectations that don’t quite match the coaching container....
Hi Coach, You might be doing things every day that make you look less like an expert. Even though you're doing them with the best of intentions. If you're a coach, consultant, or anyone in a client-facing role — this matters. Because your clients want to be led. They want to feel confident in your guidance. But here’s the problem: authority can be lost in tiny moments. A word here. A phrase there. And all of a sudden, you’re not showing up as the expert anymore — you’re back in the beta seat....
