Think you’re not ready to be a coach? You’re not alone. Many experienced professionals with deep expertise feel held back by impostor syndrome or a lack of business know-how. In a recent podcast episode, success coach Mitch Matthews shared a robust framework for building a thriving coaching practice—without giving up your current career. This is your guide to Mitch’s “authority bridge,” a three-phase roadmap that transforms your expertise into a profitable, impactful business.

Mitch’s “authority bridge” is a masterclass in phased growth.

• Phase 1: Leveraging Your Current Position and Network. Don’t quit—start a podcast, write articles, or speak at events. Your goal is to establish credibility and build an audience. This phase has no pressure to earn income; it’s all about building your platform.
• Phase 2: Emerging Authority: The sweet spot for most coaches. This is where you coach part-time while keeping your day job. You can start with a few clients and charge for your services. This phase can generate significant additional income while you refine your methods and gather testimonials.
• Phase 3: Independent Authority: The full-time transition. Only make this move when your coaching business consistently matches or exceeds your current income. Here, you scale your offerings from one-on-one sessions to group programs or online courses, building a full-fledged brand with a marketing funnel.

Navigating a crisis? The best leaders don’t freeze—they act. In a recent podcast episode, Vervent CEO David Johnson shared his proven strategies for bold leadership in turbulent times. This isn’t just about surviving; it’s about building a resilient, adaptable organization ready to thrive in any climate.

First, banish inaction. The biggest threat isn’t a competitor, it’s inertia. Waiting for perfect information is a guaranteed path to stagnation. Instead, adopt a problem-solving mindset and tackle challenges one at a time. Rally your team around a shared vision to build unstoppable momentum.

Second, master authentic communication. In times of uncertainty, people look to leaders for cues. Your team can spot inauthenticity from a mile away. Be honest about challenges, but also express confidence in your team’s ability to overcome them. This builds trust and encourages “comfort with discomfort”—the willingness to have tough conversations and make decisive moves.

Finally, embrace the power of forward momentum. Don’t let a fear of making a wrong decision paralyze you. Treat decisions as experiments: act, observe, and adjust. This course-correction mindset is the hallmark of a truly agile organization. By focusing on what you can control and developing a reflex for action, you’ll uncover new strengths and build a culture of resilience.
