00:00 / 00:44:34

Welcome to a special episode of the Business Whisperer Podcast.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of coaching and healing, focusing on how to lead with integrity even when you’re tempted to bow out. Our guests, Dr. Heba Bassiouny and Coach Shalu Bhuchar help shed light on this unregulated industry and offer insights on how to navigate it successfully.

The Challenge: Do you ever find yourself hesitating to share your message or expertise in the coaching and healing space? Perhaps you fear being judged as someone who’s just trying to take advantage of people or claim skills they don’t possess. It’s a common concern in an industry where bold claims often overshadow genuine expertise.

The online coaching and healing industry operates in a largely unregulated space, making it easy for anyone to make grand claims, sometimes without the necessary experience or training. On the flip side, many highly qualified practitioners hold back, undercharge, and refrain from calling out poor practices out of fear of being seen as jealous or competitive.

The Consequence? This situation can harm the entire industry. Those with the loudest voices or the slickest marketing often gain visibility, while those who possess genuine expertise and can truly help clients get lost in the noise- as we heard from the participants in the Build Your Own Empire Programme

Key Takeaways:

For Clients:

If you’ve had a negative experience with a healer, practitioner, or coach, don’t lose hope. There are experts of integrity who can deliver outstanding results.
Do your homework and due diligence when choosing a practitioner. Trust your instincts, and if you ever feel disempowered or taken advantage of, speak up.

For Practitioners and Healers:

Recognize the incredible gift you offer with your work.
Whether you’re just starting or well-established, success with integrity is possible. Here’s how:
- Speak up and be visible within the industry.
- Avoid making promises that go beyond your experience or scope of practice.
- Set congruent pricing that aligns with your expertise and evolves as you grow.
- Prioritize creating a safe and empowering space for your clients – this will ultimately create your success.

It’s crucial to lead with integrity in this industry. We need you to step up, not bow out of the race. By doing so, we can collectively raise the standard and improve the experience for all involved.
