In this episode, I sit down with Brian Williams and Jonathan Armel of Two Master Coaches to talk about what it really looks like to coach clients at a deeper, more transformational level.
Brian and Jonathan are both master certified coaches through the ICF, and they bring decades of experience helping coaches grow in presence, skill, awareness, and integrity. We talk about the difference between simply giving advice and truly coaching, why preparation matters before every call, and how Christian coaches can surrender the outcome while still serving clients with excellence.
If you want to become the kind of coach who listens more deeply, asks better questions, and creates lasting transformation for your clients, this conversation will give you practical places to start.
In this episode, we talk about: Brian’s journey from a difficult personal season into coaching and purpose Jonathan’s transition from high school teacher to coach trainer and mentor Why coaching at a masterful level requires both skill and surrender The importance of preparing your mind before a coaching call Why great coaches listen more than they talk How to ask questions that help clients gain deeper awareness The difference between coaching the “doing” and coaching the “being” Why the coach owns the process, but the client owns the destination How faith shapes the way Brian and Jonathan show up for their clients Their heart behind helping coaches create a greater impact
Masterful coaching is not about having all the answers. It is about being present enough to listen deeply, ask the right next question, and trust God with the outcome.

Sometimes they don't, and that's a good thing. Modeling a mentor can take you further faster, but copying everything can leave you resenting your own calendar or pricing like someone else. Here's how to learn from the best and still ask, "Is this for me?"
For a lot of Christian coaches, it's "Do you want to do this?" at the end of a sales call. Or what to ask after "I need to talk to my spouse." Or the one we ask ourselves: Am I good enough? Here's how asking the next question sets both of you free.

In this episode, I walk through what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and Faith2Influence was gone — and my family was relying on me to rebuild a coaching business that actually produces income in month one.I share the early failures (one paying client in 2012, three in 2015) and what changed when Faith2Influence started in 2018: a $60,000 first-year goal that became more than $250,000 in revenue. Then I break down the three things I would focus on if I had that same urgency again.Day one: a simple business plan. A clear mission around a problem people will pay to solve, one or two high-value offers, and one path to present them.Day two: build prospect and referral-partner lists from the people you already know, and lean on existing trust.Day three: start conversations. Send messages, follow up, and get on sales calls quickly. Keep an hour each weekday for outreach, because that is where income is created.This one is for brand-new Christian coaches, and for anyone who has been hustling in the wrong places and wants to get back to what actually works.Chapters:00:00 Starting over from zero00:55 Lessons from failure and breakthrough01:53 Build a simple business plan02:51 Write a clear mission statement03:19 Create one or two high-value offers04:13 Establish a signature offer05:11 Choose one offer presentation strategy06:11 Build prospect and referral lists07:31 Use existing trust for early sales08:00 Start conversations through direct outreach08:56 Follow up consistently10:21 Prioritize income-producing work11:16 Begin sales calls quickly12:14 Return to the fundamentals
