Finding Your Coaching Voice with @IsabeauIqbal

<p>In this episode of <a href="https://twitter.com/coachingthruit">@CoachingThruIt</a>, Julie &amp; Laura were thrilled to have a coaching conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/isabeauiqbal/">Isabeau Iqbal</a>. She is a career and life coach who helps ambitious perfectionists move forward in their higher education career, without throwing their quality of life out the window. Isabeau <a href="https://www.isabeauiqbal.com/a-positive-approach-to-perfectionism/">takes a positive approach to perfectionism in her coaching</a> -- this, she believes, is a much more kind (and realistic) strategy than wishing one’s perfectionism away! We talk about the hurdles for starting a coaching practice and how to remove business barriers like scheduling, sales, and matching these to our values. This was a helpful conversation to understand that coaching as a business is an evolution and process -- so it’s okay if we’re still figuring it out and finding our voice in our practice.  Connect and learn more about Isabeau’s coaching:</p><ul> <li><a href="https://www.isabeauiqbal.com/">Isabeauiqbal.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/isabeauiqbal">https://ca.linkedin.com/in/isabeauiqbal</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/isabeauiqbal/">@isabeauiqbal </a></li> </ul><p>Here are a few things we talked about during the episode:</p><ul> <li>Coach to Coach Podcast: <a href="https://www.drkatielinder.com/cc9/">S2E1: Introducing Isabeau Iqbal</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://extendedlearning.ubc.ca/programs/organizational-coaching-certificate">Organizational Coaching Certificate</a> at UBC</li> <li><a href="https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/home.aspx">Clifton Strengths Finder</a></li> <li> <a href="https://coachfederation.org/credentials-and-standards/acc-paths">Associate Certified Coach (ACC)</a>  International Coaching Federation (ICF)</li> <li><a href="https://www.associationforcoaching.com/page/WhatisCoachingSupervision">What is Coaching Supervision?</a></li> <li> <a href="https://coachfederat
