James Pickles: Why authenticity and connection are key in coaching.

In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews James Pickles, an executive coach and former sales director. After experiencing burnout, James now helps high performers sustainably thrive, focusing on well-being over relentless achievement.James's journey to coaching was unplanned, stemming from a commitment to openly share his burnout story. This led to requests for talks, workshops, and individual coaching, where he realized his passion. He emphasizes that coaching isn't therapy or mentorship, but a process of helping clients unlock their own solutions for today and tomorrow, believing everyone is inherently "whole and capable."He works with high-pressure professionals, often those in their late 30s to mid-50s with families, who resonate with his past experiences. His typical engagement involves six sessions over three months, with the key work happening between sessions as clients apply new habits.James prefers in-person networking over purely digital marketing, moving online connections to real-world meetings for deeper relationships. He explicitly states he doesn't aim for million-dollar revenues, instead prioritizing a sustainable "enough" income that allows for well-being and life experiences. His primary focus is on talks and workshops, which often lead to one-on-one coaching clients.Connect with James Pickles:Website: https://www.jamespicklescoaching.co.uk/LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jamespicklescoachingSupport the showYou can also watch this podcast on YouTube at:https://www.youtube.com/@CareerCoachingSecretsIf you are a career coach looking to grow your business you can find out more about Purple Circle at http://joinpurplecircle.com Get Exclusive Access to Our In-Depth Analysis of 71 Successful Career Coaches, Learn exactly what worked (and what didn't) in the career coaching industry in 2024: https://joinpurplecircle.com/white-paper-replay
