About this episode

On this 'Making of a Coach', Tobi meets Julika Franke for a coaching demo that starts as brand positioning and quickly turns into imposter syndrome coaching around stepping into a coach‑trainer role. Julika uses her Business Hub approach to map roles, goals, and visibility, revealing how clear positioning and a crisp mission can ease fear of judgment from both engineering and coaching circles. Along the way, they touch on practical tools coaches can use—MBTI, NLP, and solution‑focused coaching—and connect positioning with personal branding for coaches in day‑to‑day marketing choices. If emotional intelligence coaching and clearer messaging matter to your practice, you’ll find simple next steps to apply.


Key Learnings:

  • Turn clarity into action: define a founder‑level role map (visionary, product, ambassador, trainer), then set a concrete practice target (e.g., 10–20 coaching sessions + supervision) to strengthen the “coach” pillar behind your coaching demo.
  • Tighten positioning: write a one‑sentence value claim, pick one primary audience, and design your Business Hub doc (vision, expert profile, offer, visibility) to guide personal branding for coaches across website copy and content.
  • Make visibility feel authentic: separate audiences when needed, share step‑by‑step formats you truly use (e.g., solution‑focused, NLP with picture cards), and schedule low‑friction shorts that reflect your voice while addressing imposter syndrome coaching head‑on.
