THE PODCAST | 1:1 COACHING | INSTAGRAM
As coaches and creatives, it’s so easy to get caught up in our heads. We start comparing our results to the loud, flashy successes we see online and wonder if what we’re doing is even working. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: just because you can’t always see the impact of your work doesn’t mean it’s not happening. The right people will find you at the right time—exactly when they need what you have to offer.
Let me share a quick story. There have been moments when I’ve questioned whether I should keep going with my podcast. Maybe it’s not resonating the way I thought it would. But then, on the days I have those doubts, someone reaches out—telling me they listen every week, that my words helped them, or that they’re interested in working with me as a coach. It’s a powerful reminder that we don’t always see the full effect of our work, but that doesn’t mean it’s not changing lives.
At the end of the day, your work only needs to reach one person for it to be meaningful. One person to feel seen. One person to experience a shift. And when you focus on that, it becomes so much easier to keep showing up.
Trusting in Your Unique Style of Leadership
Ask yourself: Who do I want to be in the world? How do I want to show up? What energy do I want to put out there? As coaches and creatives, our work isn’t always tangible, but that doesn’t mean it’s not impactful. Quiet influence—leadership that doesn’t demand attention but deeply resonates—is just as powerful as the loud, in-your-face kind. If your leadership style is calm and grounded, trust that it might be exactly what someone needs to feel empowered and understood.
Marketing with Authenticity
In a crowded market, it’s easy to feel like the best-kept secret. The key? Lean into your process and share the journey, not just the outcome. People crave authenticity. They want to see how you do what you do, not just the polished results. When you emphasize the personal touch and your deeper “why,” it creates a real connection with your audience.
Staying Grounded in Your Purpose
Amidst all the noise, how do you stay true to your voice? By regularly reconnecting with your purpose. Whether it’s through meditation, journaling, or even just a quiet walk, take time to reflect on the impact you’re making—because even when you can’t see it, it’s still there.
Final Thoughts
Take a moment to recognize the quiet impact you’re already making. The ripple effect of your work is real, even if it’s not always immediately visible. So keep showing up, trust your process, and know that your presence—subtle or not—has the power to create real change.
