Phil Askew is a certified Co-active coach who works with entrepreneurs and other coaches to discover what truly fires them up. Prior to becoming a coach, he spent 18 years in the creative and branding industries, and gives his advice on how to build a thriving coaching business!
BECOMING A COACH
Phil was involved in the Internet back in the 1990’s, and at the end of the decade his three-person company was bought out by a larger one and he was named “creative leader”. That responsibility prompted him to hire a coach for himself, and that decision ultimately led to him deciding to start a coaching business.
BIGGEST OBSTACLE
He’s a people person, and coaches often work by themselves in their home office!
GETTING NEW COACHING CLIENTS
Phil is very consistent with his marketing efforts, and he makes sure he remains visible so potential clients can find him.
BEST COACHING RESOURCES
