The Coach is not Exempt From the Work.
As a financial coaching trainer, I've spent years teaching practitioners how to help clients uncover the beliefs, experiences, and stories that influence their financial decisions.
One of the most important lessons I've learned is this:
People don't always have a money problem. Sometimes they have a money story problem.
This week, while preparing for Money Momentum Live, I had a coaching breakthrough of my own.
Early in my career as a financial advisor, I had a prospective client who was eager to work with me over the phone. He liked my recommendations. He liked my approach. Everything seemed to be moving forward.
Then he met me.
And everything changed.
Once he saw that I was young and Black, he no longer wanted to do business with me.
I thought I had moved on from that experience years ago.
But during a recent coaching conversation, I realized something important:
The event was over.
The story wasn't.
Without realizing it, I had allowed that experience, along with other experiences of rejection in sales, to create hesitation around visibility, marketing, and making offers.
Not consciously.
Not intentionally.
But subtly.
As coaches, we often help clients identify the stories operating beneath the surface:
- "I'm not good with money."
- "People like me don't build wealth."
- "I'll never get ahead."
- "I always mess things up."
- "I'm not ready."
The challenge is that these stories rarely announce themselves.
They simply show up as avoidance, hesitation, procrastination, self-sabotage, or inaction.
MoneyMind AI is not just a financial assessment tool.
It is a reflection and discovery tool designed to help uncover the hidden narratives, beliefs, patterns, and money stories that may be influencing behavior.
Because once the story is revealed, the coaching conversation changes.
And when the story changes, new actions become possible.
As practitioners, we are not exempt from the work.
Sometimes the breakthrough isn't learning a new technique.
Sometimes it's recognizing the story that has been quietly influencing our own behavior.
So here's my question for you:
What old story might still be influencing your coaching practice, your business, your visibility, or your leadership today?
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please comment below.
