Angie Callen went from civil engineer to coach for high-performing leaders—and she didn’t take the straight path to get there. In this episode, she shares how art galleries, nonprofits, and burnout led her to a thriving coaching business.
We talk LinkedIn strategy that actually works, the mindset traps most coaches fall into, and why storytelling beats step-by-step tips every time.
Highlights:
- Why most coaches want to coach—but forget they’re running a business
- The LinkedIn content shift that builds trust instead of just teaching
- Mindset, sales, and niche evolution (and why failure is content gold)
- What’s killing earning potential for talented coaches
- Why being a great listener beats being a great closer
If you're a coach or creative pro trying to grow a business without burning out, this one's for you.
