In today’s episode, I'm joined by Chris Roebuck, a leadership expert with over 30 years of experience. In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest problems many small business owners face: too much work and not enough time. Chris shares his simple yet powerful four-step system to help leaders become more effective and accelerate their success. We’ll dive into optimizing task delivery, getting the best from people, communicating the big picture, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset—all essential to scaling your coaching business and achieving lasting transformation.Guest Introduction:Today’s guest, Chris Roebuck, is a globally recognized leadership expert. He has over 30 years of experience working with major organizations like HSBC, UBS, and the UK NHS. Chris has been named one of HR’s most influential thinkers 10 times. He specializes in blending neuroscience, business insights, and real-world experience to empower leaders to maximize their potential and achieve measurable success. Chris is passionate about helping leaders unlock their true potential, and his strategies have helped organizations worldwide. His approach is invaluable for coaches looking to elevate their businesses and create meaningful transformation for their clients.The Leadership Success Formula - Key Takeaways:Step 1: Optimized Task DeliveryFocus on prioritization, time management, delegation, communication, and regular feedback to ensure tasks are delivered effectively. Effective task management creates more bandwidth for higher-level tasks and for scaling your online coaching business.Step 2: Get the Best From PeopleLeaders (and coaches) can inspire high performance with simple, human-centered actions like showing care, acting with integrity, supporting career development, and providing regular feedback. These actions are cost-effective, can be done more each day, and result in significantly better performance—up to 25-36% more effort. A key for coaches who want to grow a team or cultivate transformation in their clients.Step 3: Align Efforts with Organizational GoalsLeaders must communicate the organization's vision clearly and help team members understand how their work contributes to the larger picture. This is essential for business scaling, especially when communicating how the business goals align with personal goals, motivating people to put in their best efforts.Step 4: Foster an Entrepreneurial MindsetEncourage an entrepreneurial approach by optimizing risk, simplifying processes, innovating, and challenging the status quo. This step is critical for coaches and online businesses to stay competitive and innovative while building a business that’s not only sustainable but also scalable.Getting the Best from People:Chris emphasizes that getting the best from people doesn’t have to be complicated. Reflecting on the best boss you’ve had can reveal simple actions that inspire high performance. Leaders (and coaches) can inspire their team or clients by asking for ideas, showing care, acting with integrity, and supporting career development. These actions don’t cost money and can increase employee (or client) effort by 25-36%.Communicating the Big Picture:Step 3 focuses on ensuring team members (or clients) understand how their work fits into the organization’s larger goals. Leaders should regularly explain the company’s vision and how individual roles contribute to that vision. This is crucial for creating alignment, especially as you scale your coaching business. When people understand the big picture, they are more motivated, collaborate more effectively, and stay committed to the mission.Entrepreneurial Mindset in Business:Step 4 is about thinking and acting entrepreneurially, even within larger organizations. Leaders should focus on optimizing risk, simplifying processes, innovating, and challenging the status quo. This is especially relevant to entrepreneurs and online coaches who want to scale their business while staying flexible and innovative.Key Quotes:"The answer to success is remembering that we are all human beings." – Chris Roebuck"You have to communicate the big picture for people to understand why their work matters." – Chris Roebuck"Showing you care to people can get you 25% more effort, and it doesn’t cost any money." – Chris Roebuck"To really drive success, it’s not about the strategic stuff first. You have to get the basics in place." – Chris RoebuckResources Mentioned:Chris Roebuck’s website: www.chrisroebuck.liveChris Roebuck’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-roebuck-ccmi-fcipd-70b1283/ Register for my upcoming workshop: Lindseya.com/workshop

Welcome to the episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show. I’m so excited for today’s guest, Mr. Darren LaCroix. In this episode, we dive into the power of stage time and the habit of showing up even when it’s uncomfortable. We talk about how taking risks and facing failure head-on can fuel growth in both public speaking and business. Guest IntroductionToday’s guest is Darren LaCroix, an internationally recognized speaker and coach. He outshone 25,000 contestants from 14 countries to become the world champion of public speaking. Darren is the author of two books—Laugh and Get Rich and The Speaker’s Edge—and he holds the unique distinction of being the only speaker in the world who is both an accredited, certified speaking professional and a world champion of public speaking. He’s known for his mantra, “Stage time, stage time, stage time,” and his relentless commitment to doing the work—even when it means looking bad. Darren’s approach offers transformational insights that are essential for online coaches and for anyone looking to scale their business.How to Build a Profitable Speaking Business - Key TakeawaysConsistent Practice Is Crucial: “Any day you don't get on stage is a day you don't grow.”Failure Is Fuel: I embraced failure after a business setback and learned that having no ego opens the door to growth.Mentorship Matters: Mentors saw my willingness to do the work, even when I was a nervous, wannabe comedian.The Power of Stage Time: Driving two and a half hours for a five-minute open mic set taught me that showing up, even in less-than-ideal circumstances, builds resilience.Transformative Storytelling: Use your personal experiences—your struggles, failures, and breakthroughs—to create stories that captivate and transform your audience, and ultimately, help you scale your business.Overcoming Fear and FailureI started as a shy, introverted wannabe comedian with zero confidence.My comedy mentors said, “Any day you don't get on stage is a day you don't grow.”After a business failure, I had no ego—just the drive to learn and improve.Despite the risk of embarrassment, I embraced every open mic night as a chance to evolve.These experiences not only transformed my public speaking but also shaped my approach as a business coach for coaches, teaching me to overcome fear and build resilience.Growth Through Stage TimeI drove two and a half hours just to secure five minutes on stage.Even when my high school buddy called me “stupid” for chasing my dream, my mentors recognized my determination.The consistent habit of showing up, regardless of the outcome, is what built my foundation.This is a core principle in transformational coaching and scaling an online business—consistency creates growth.Transition from Comedy to Public SpeakingI learned that while comedy clubs were great for initial failures, they weren’t the right fit for my soul.Finding Toastmasters was a game changer—a warm, encouraging space where I could build my public speaking skills during the day.I joined multiple clubs to “quadruple my failure rate” and maximize stage time opportunities.This transition is a prime example of transformational coaching in action, illustrating how real-world challenges can prepare you for scaling your online coaching business.The Art of StorytellingA mentor once told me: “Stop trying to find that story that launches your speaking career. Instead, take the stories you already have and make them so good someone will pay to hear them.”A good story starts with who you were—your visuals, your emotions—and then takes the audience on a journey through challenges, a breaking point, and a transformative revelation.This approach applies whether you’re delivering a keynote, pitching your business, or guiding transformational coaching sessions.Key Quotes“So, we, the purpose of story for us as educators is to deliver the message in a way that the brain is programmed to receive it, which is story.”“If you're not coachable, there is no cure.”“You can't transform your life by dipping your toe in the water.”“I waited nine years to get a coach because I thought I knew I was cheap. My buddy Ed Tate says you can't cheap your way to the top.”Resources MentionedDarren’s website: https://darrenlacroix.com Follow Darren on TikTok: darren.lacroixJoin my upcoming free LIVE workshop: https://www.lindseya.com/workshop

He’s authored 16 books, including Beyond Success and Lessons from the Legends. Brian has earned the title of #1 speaker at multiple conferences and has appeared on major media outlets like Good Morning America and CNN. He’s also recognized as one of the top 50 motivational speakers in the world. His mission is clear: to inspire individuals to step into their own leadership, create transformational breakthroughs, and elevate the impact they make in the world.The Blueprint for Breakthrough - Key TakeawaysThe Power of Being Present: Brian emphasizes how being fully engaged in the moment builds trust and strengthens relationships. He shares a personal story about how his daughters taught him the importance of showing up fully in life, both personally and professionally.Focus on Being Your Best, Not the Best: Let go of comparison. Life becomes richer when you focus on being the best version of yourself. This mindset leads to personal growth, joy, and greater success in both your personal and professional life.True Giving vs Transactional Giving: Brian explains that true leadership comes from giving without expecting anything in return. When you give from the heart, it not only enriches those around you, but it also fuels your own personal growth and sense of fulfillment.Joy and Gratitude: By focusing on what we can control—our energy, attitude, and actions—we create momentum, confidence, and joy. Gratitude is essential for success in both life and business.The Importance of Being Fully PresentKey Lesson: “What you do screams so loudly, I can’t hear a word you’re saying.” Your actions speak louder than your words, especially when it comes to being present with the people around you.Brian shares a powerful story of how his daughters taught him the importance of being truly present in their lives, which led to richer, more fulfilling relationships and professional experiences.Key Quote: “The greatest feeling in the world is to give to someone when we serve.”Giving Without ExpectationTrue Giving vs Transactional Giving: Brian talks about how giving without expecting anything in return leads to true fulfillment. When you give because you genuinely care, it creates deeper connections and brings a sense of joy and purpose.Key Quote: "When you focus on enriching another person’s experience, you can't help but enrich your own."Building a Future of Control and GrowthFocus on Controllables: When you focus on what you can control—like your energy, joy, and attitude—you become happier, more successful, and better equipped to navigate challenges in life and business. This mindset helps create transformational results.Vision for the Future: Brian envisions a world where people focus on their personal growth rather than comparing themselves to others. This shift leads to a more joyful, fulfilling, and impactful life.Key Quote: "Life enriches when you focus on being your best and let go of being the best."Key Quotes"What you do screams so loudly, I can’t hear a word you’re saying."“The greatest feeling in the world is to give to someone when we serve.”"When you focus on enriching another person’s experience, you can't help but enrich your own.""Life enriches when you focus on being your best and let go of being the best."Resources MentionedBrian’s website: https://www.brianbiro.com Connect with Brian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbiro Register for my upcoming free live workshop: https://www.lindseya.com/workshop

Today, I’m excited to have Juliet Peters on the show, a former lawyer and passionate advocate for women’s leadership. We’ll dive deep into the topic of burnout, exploring how it manifests, why women are especially vulnerable, and the simple practices you can incorporate into your daily life to prevent it and stay aligned with your vision for success.Guest IntroductionJuliet Peters brings a strong background in law and media, having worked in male-dominated industries. She’s a fierce advocate for empowering women to lead authentically, helping them break free from societal expectations. Juliet’s journey has been one of discovering her true self, moving from the traditional molds of leadership to creating her own path. She now helps others do the same, especially in the realm of business and leadership.The Burnout Fix for Women in Leadership - Key TakeawaysBurnout is Real and Common: Juliet explains that burnout impacts everyone but stresses that women, especially those in transformational coaching or online businesses, often juggle multiple roles, increasing their risk of burnout.Resentment is a Warning Sign: Feeling frustration or anger towards normal tasks, losing interest in things you once loved, and constant dissatisfaction are major red flags for burnout.Daily Practices to Prevent Burnout: Juliet shares strategies like breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness, which can significantly reduce stress and keep you aligned with your coaching business goals.The Importance of Stopping: When burnout starts to creep in, stopping to notice the signs and taking time to assess what needs to change is crucial for maintaining personal and professional balance.Self-Sacrifice Leads to Burnout: Many women, especially those in coaching businesses, often prioritize others' needs over their own, which accelerates burnout.The Strain of Mental Load on WomenJuliet discusses how women, particularly those in the coaching industry, often bear the mental load of managing families, clients, and businesses simultaneously, adding to burnout risk.Juggling multiple responsibilities without time for self-care is a key factor contributing to burnout in transformational coaching careers.What Burnout Looks LikeBurnout shows up as resentment, anger, anxiety, and depression. When you feel like life is running you instead of the other way around, that’s a sure sign of burnout.Other signs include procrastination, losing interest in personal or business-related activities, and neglecting your own needs while meeting the needs of clients or family.Recognizing and Addressing BurnoutStep 1: Stop and Notice – Pay attention to the signs of burnout and take a moment to assess what needs to be adjusted in your coaching business or daily routine.Step 2: Take Action – Seek objective help, like calling a therapist or considering short-term solutions (such as medication) to regain balance and mental clarity.Daily Practices to Prevent BurnoutJuliet emphasizes the importance of daily breathing exercises, like the 4-7-8 method or 4-4-4-4 breathing, to reduce stress and improve mental clarity in your personal and business life.Meditation, yoga, and sound healing (e.g., binaural beats) can also be transformative tools to manage stress in high-performing coaching businesses.Juliet suggests focusing on micro moments of joy throughout the day, which can be more effective than traditional gratitude practices for maintaining balance and preventing burnout.Key Quotes“Burnout looks like resentment. If normal tasks make you feel really angry, that’s a sign.”“Stop and notice. What can you stop doing for the next three weeks? That’s the first step to regaining control.”“I think women are incredible jugglers. It’s not about multitasking—it’s about managing a lot of balls and reprioritizing when necessary.”Resources MentionedJuliet’s Website: You can find Juliet’s work and learn more about her approach to empowering women and entrepreneurs at www.frameworklegal.com.Connect with Juliet on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FrameworkLegalPLLC Sign up for my upcoming free LIVE workshop: https://www.LindseyA.com/workshop

With extensive experience in creating large networks and leveraging residual income models, Dan stands out as a thought leader. His commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and online coaches makes him a standout guest in today’s ever-changing business landscape.Mastering Real Estate Niche Marketing - Key TakeawaysNiching down is essential for dominating a specific market and achieving transformational business growth. Narrowing your focus allows you to build trust and gain momentum.Rejection is an inevitable part of the process. Adopting a “sorter mentality” helps you find the right clients or collaborators without wasting energy on convincing the wrong ones.Social media and video content are powerful tools for scaling online coaching businesses. Repetition and consistency improve both your skills and your audience engagement.Focus on actions rather than outcomes. Staying process-driven allows you to navigate both the highs and lows of business more effectively.Humility is critical for long-term success. Staying grounded helps you make better decisions, strengthen relationships, and adapt to challenges.Dan’s Strategies for Overcoming RejectionReframe rejection as a numbers game. Focus on finding the people who genuinely need your transformational coaching services.Develop a “sorter mentality” to identify ideal clients and opportunities instead of trying to convince everyone.Use the “ledge” technique to handle objections effectively by asking open-ended questions such as, “Can you tell me more about why you feel that way?”Build emotional resilience by recognizing rejection triggers and pausing to regain focus before responding.Leveraging Social Media and VideoConsistency is the foundation of building an online presence. Even if your initial videos or posts don’t perform well, they refine your skills and prepare you for success.Focus on the process rather than results. Repeated efforts lead to growth, even if the payoff isn’t immediate.Use social media strategically to connect with your niche audience and position yourself as an authority in transformational coaching and business scaling.Real Estate Market InsightsThe market is expected to remain stable in the near future. Entrepreneurs and agents should focus on gaining market share instead of relying on an increase in overall transaction volume.Models like EXP Realty’s revenue-sharing system offer excellent opportunities to diversify income and stabilize business revenue during challenging times.Lessons from Dan’s CareerHumility is essential for navigating challenges and sustaining success. Dan credits humility with helping him adapt to both opportunities and setbacks.Overconfidence during successful periods can hinder growth. Continuous learning and self-improvement are necessary to keep evolving.Success comes from persistence and adaptability. Study your craft daily and maintain consistent effort to ensure growth in both your business and personal development.Key Quotes“Your job is not to convince; it’s to sort. There are people out there who need your product—you just have to find them.”“Don’t get emotionally tied to the results. Focus on the actions, and the results will come.”“Be humble in your approach, whether in good times or bad. Humility keeps you grounded and helps you grow.”“Every day, you have to wake up studying, improving, and planning for the next success.”Resources MentionedFollow Dan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedanlesniak Join my upcoming free LIVE workshop: https://www.lindseya.com/workshop

In this episode, we explore the power of LinkedIn as a tool for building genuine business relationships and scaling your business. Special guest, Jaime Ellithorpe, shares how to combine automation with authentic human connection to grow your business. We discuss her multi-faceted marketing approach, which blends engaging content with strategic outreach, and explore the pillars of effective messaging. Jaime also reveals how to create meaningful conversations on LinkedIn and transform the platform into a consistent lead generator for business owners.Guest IntroductionJaime Ellithorpe is a business growth consultant, author, speaker, and the founder of 540 Strategies, a marketing consulting firm that provides lead generation and appointment booking services for consultants, coaches, and professional services businesses. She is widely known as "The LinkedIn Lady." With her expertise in LinkedIn outreach, email marketing, and automation, Jaime helps entrepreneurs generate leads and foster authentic relationships. Her passion lies in aligning marketing systems with mindset and intentionality, enabling business owners to grow their businesses without sacrificing their authenticity or values.Master Your LinkedIn Lead Gen - Key TakeawaysLinkedIn makes it easy to create genuine human connections, which is vital for business owners looking to grow their client base.Referrals are the fastest and most effective way to scale your business.Curating your LinkedIn network intentionally helps build a high-value audience aligned with your business goals.Authentic conversations and long-term relationships are foundational for sustainable business success.Implementing a system ensures consistency and prevents the unpredictable ups and downs in business growth.Why LinkedIn Stands OutLinkedIn fosters quality engagement that goes beyond vanity metrics like likes and impressions. Jaime describes the platform as ideal for “two-way marketing,” where meaningful interactions provide real feedback and connections. For business owners, LinkedIn’s professional environment allows for direct and authentic interactions with potential clients and partners.Content Strategy for LinkedIn Jaime recommends that entrepreneurs focus on thought leadership content that educates and inspires their audience without giving away all their expertise. Balancing this with subtle invitations, such as booking a call or downloading a resource, helps move prospects further into the funnel. Jaime’s messaging pillars—aligned with a coach’s core values and expertise—help create content that resonates with an audience and positions the coach as a trusted authority.The Hidden Gold in ReferralsReferrals are LinkedIn’s hidden treasure, offering business owners a way to bypass trust and credibility barriers. By focusing on authentic relationship-building, coaches can generate a steady stream of referrals that feel seamless and natural. This strategy often leads to higher conversion rates and a network that actively supports business growth.Daily LinkedIn Habits for Success Jaime shared actionable tips to stay consistent on LinkedIn:Define your target audience—know whether you’re seeking clients, referral partners, or collaborative opportunities.Be selective about who you connect with and accept into your network.Start meaningful conversations daily to build trust and engagement with your audience.Managing Conversations Without Overwhelm Jaime and I discussed focusing on quality over quantity when managing LinkedIn conversations. Her recommended icebreaker questions include:“What inspired you to get into your industry?”“What’s been your biggest challenge in your coaching journey?”Keeping initial exchanges concise and meaningful sets the stage for natural progression into connection calls.The Future of LinkedIn Jaime and I agree that LinkedIn has evolved far beyond its original purpose as a job-seeking platform. It’s now a professional networking powerhouse where online coaches can foster meaningful connections and build their businesses. With its emphasis on trust and engagement, LinkedIn is the perfect space for online business owners to scale their impact while maintaining authenticity.Key Quotes“Referrals are the gold of LinkedIn. They make conversations smoother and conversions faster.”“Your network is your foundation. Be intentional about who you connect with and why.”“LinkedIn’s true power lies in human-to-human connection in a professional space.”“Without a system, business growth becomes a roller coaster. A system creates consistency.”Resources MentionedJamie’s website: https://jaimeellithorpe.com Follow Jamie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaime-ellithorpe-business-marketing-leadgen-consultantDownload Jamie’s free guide, How to Turn LinkedIn Into a Lead Generator for Your Business: https://540strategies.com/leadgenb Join my upcoming workshop on generating high-quality leads via social media at Lindseya.com/workshop.

In this episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show, I’m joined by Glenn Gow, an accomplished CEO success coach and AI expert with over 25 years of experience. Glenn shares his valuable insights on how CEOs can leverage AI to boost productivity and enhance business operations. He also delves into the future of business coaching, and the CEO mindset that leaders must embrace to overcome new business challenges. This conversation is full of actionable advice for scaling your business and embracing personal growth as a leader.Guest Introduction:Glenn Gow is a Harvard MBA, CEO success coach, and AI expert with 25 years of experience as a CEO. He has spent five years as a venture capitalist and has advised major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Glenn is also a columnist for Forbes and has spoken at significant events, such as the Wall Street Journal AI Conference and Harvard Business School. He’s passionate about helping CEOs grow, evolve, and overcome challenges in today’s business world. The Future of Business Coaching - Key Takeaways:AI as a Tool for CEOs: Glenn describes AI as an intern—smart but imperfect. While AI can greatly enhance productivity, CEOs must remain mindful of its limitations and always check its work.The CEO Mindset: CEOs need to evolve from being experts in one area (like engineering) to managing multiple aspects of the business, including marketing, sales, HR, and finance. It’s all about personal growth to handle these new responsibilities.Delegation is Key: CEOs must master the art of delegation to avoid burnout. Shifting from micromanaging to empowering their teams allows CEOs to focus on higher-level decisions and scale their business more effectively.AI in CEO Coaching: Although AI tools can offer useful insights, the future of CEO coaching lies in building deep, personal relationships. These connections are what drive real, meaningful change in leadership and business transformation.Coaching Insights:Mindset Shift for CEOs: Glenn emphasizes that CEOs, like athletes, need coaches to continue improving even when they’re already at the top of their game. A transformational coach helps you reach even higher levels of performance.Breaking Patterns for Growth: CEOs often fall into patterns of success that no longer serve them. A coach helps them identify and break those patterns to continue moving forward with new strategies for business scaling.Developing Leadership Teams: Glenn stresses that one of a CEO’s primary roles is to hire and nurture a leadership team that is stronger than themselves in specific areas of the business. This is essential to scaling the business and driving long-term success.Key Stories:A CEO's Breakthrough Moment: Glenn shares a powerful story of a CEO who raised $150M instead of $50M by shifting his mindset and approach with the board. This CEO moved from asking for permission to confidently declaring his plan, which earned the board’s trust and led to massive success. A great example of how coaching and a mindset shift lead to transformational growth.The Bark vs. Forest Analogy: Glenn uses this analogy to explain how CEOs often get stuck in the details (the bark) and miss the bigger picture (the forest). A coach’s external perspective helps CEOs refocus and solve the right problems, enabling them to scale their business successfully.Overcoming Common CEO Obstacles:Overwhelm: Many CEOs feel responsible for everything, which leads to overwhelm and burnout. Glenn recommends using the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework to help CEOs prioritize their goals and reduce stress. This is essential for scaling a business effectively and avoiding burnout.Team Building: CEOs often face challenges with underperforming employees. Glenn advocates for addressing these issues directly, either by managing the individual differently or parting ways to bring in stronger talent. Building the right team is critical to business scaling.AI in Business: Glenn talks about how AI can streamline operations and increase productivity, but also addresses the challenges CEOs face when integrating AI into their business processes. AI can be a powerful tool for business scaling if leveraged correctly.Key Quotes:"Every great athlete has a coach. Even if you're already the best, a coach helps you become even better.""Being a CEO is about growth—if you're not constantly improving, you're stuck in your own patterns.""The future of CEO coaching is about building a deep, personal relationship where the real issues can be addressed—AI can’t replace that.""It’s okay to make mistakes. They don’t define you. There’s always a new opportunity to create something great."Resources Mentioned:Follow Glenn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenngow Apply for a complimentary CEO Coaching session with Glenn: https://www.glenngow.com/apply-for-ceo-coaching-session Join my upcoming free LIVE workshop: https://www.lindseya.com/workshop
