This episode is for coaches who are showing up on LinkedIn, putting the effort in, and sensing there’s something missing and who want reassurance, perspective, and a calmer way to turn visibility into real client conversations.

This episode is a reminder to stop performing for attention and start building relationships that lead to real, paid work.

Post something useful for one specific person today, then invite them somewhere deeper than the feed.
