After decades in the corporate world, you've accumulated something more valuable than any certification: lived experience navigating real challenges in real organizations.

This video walks you through the complete transition from corporate professional to career coach—addressing the doubt, building on your strengths, and providing a 90-day low-risk framework to test your coaching approach before fully committing.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why Harvard Business Review research shows entrepreneurs 50+ succeed at 2x the rate of 30-year-olds

✅ The three "coaching superpowers" you've already developed: pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and organizational fluency

✅ The 90-day validation framework broken into three phases: clarity/positioning (weeks 1-2), free test sessions (weeks 3-6), and soft launch with paying clients (weeks 7-12)

✅ Realistic income expectations for a sustainable 10-15 hour weekly practice ($2,400-$6,000/month starting range)

✅ The four common mistakes new coaches make—and how to avoid them entirely

✅ Your exact next step: the single conversation that validates whether coaching is right for you

The Bottom Line:

You're not reinventing yourself. You're translating decades of wisdom into a structure that supports the lifestyle you want now—finally putting a price on the guidance you've been giving away for free.

Your most meaningful work might be just one conversation away.
