Graham Nicholls

I've trained 1,000+ coaches, 
and certifications didn’t make a single one successful.

Here’s the dirty secret nobody talks about:

No successful coach ever told me their breakthrough came from another certification.

It always came from working with real people.

Most coaches aren’t buying certificates to learn.
They’re buying permission to start.

Most coaching certifications are a complete waste of money.

There. I said it.

Every week I watch new coaches blow £5,000+ on another shiny certificate.
Thinking it'll finally make them "qualified" enough.

I did it as well and let me tell you...

It won't.

You know what happens instead?

They graduate feeling exactly as unprepared as before.
And now they're broke.

The certification industry profits from your imposter syndrome.

Confidence comes from one place:
Actually helping people.

Want to build a real coaching practice? 
Skip the certificates and do this instead:

→ Actually coaching people (yes, just get started)

→ Collecting 10 testimonials that prove you get results

→ Learning to sell without feeling like a used car salesman

The infographic shows what actually replaces certifications when you want real clients, and most coaches aren’t doing any of it.

The market doesn't buy your credentials.
It buys transformation.

Every hour in a classroom is an hour not coaching.

Every penny on certificates is money not invested in your business.

Your ideal clients aren't checking your wall for certificates.
They're feeling if you truly get them.

And the certification industry will hate this.

If you need a certificate to feel confident coaching, you’re not ready to coach.

Some coaches will strongly disagree with this.

💾 Save this. Because once you stop hiding behind certificates, the real work begins.

✅ Follow Graham Nicholls If you’re ready to start coaching.

My first coaching client fired me after 3 sessions.
It nearly ended my coaching career.

"This isn't what I need" 

She was right. I was winging it.

And that realisation punched me in the gut.

The woman who fired me needed leadership coaching, 
not life coaching.

I was throwing generic questions at a specific problem.

My confidence was shattered.

That lesson hurt.

But it taught me more than any certification ever did.

After 20 years and working with 1,000+ coaches, 
I see the same mistakes over and over.

Most coaches don’t fail because they’re bad.
They fail because they repeat the same invisible mistakes.

Here are the 10 that kill coaching careers.

One of them ends careers before they ever start.

1. Relying on instinct instead of structure

You think experience means you can wing it. Wrong. 
Build frameworks you can repeat. Structure creates confidence.

2. Giving away coaching in discovery calls

You're so eager to help you solve their problem for free. 
Discovery calls uncover. Coaching sessions solve. Keep them separate.

(I've added all 10 into the infographic for you)

I noticed myself in all of these.

That client who fired me? Best thing that happened to my career.

Twenty years later, I still use the structure she forced me to build.

Most coaches reading this won’t change a thing.

They’ll nod. 
They'll save it.

And repeat the same mistake with their next client.

Follow Graham Nicholls. I write for coaches who are done winging it
and want repeatable confidence in every session.

💾 Save this so that you avoid the mistakes I made.

7 free sessions to 'prove my value.'
She got incredible results. Then paid another coach.

That’s when I realised free holds no leverage.

My stomach dropped when I found out.

Not because of the money.

Because I'd proven her transformation was possible.

Free doesn't create value in the client's mind.

It creates doubt.

That mistake cost me 7 months of second-guessing everything.

But it taught me to map every trap that destroys coaching practices.

Here are the 10 mistakes killing new coaches:

1. Coaching for free to "prove value"

→ Instead: Charge for discovery sessions. Investment creates commitment.

2. Saying yes to everyone who inquires

→ Instead: Turn away 50% of inquiries. Scarcity builds desire.

Mistake number 3 is where most coaches quietly fail.
If you know, you know.

3. Charging £50/hour because you're "just starting"

→ Instead: Price for outcomes, not time. Results aren't rented by the hour.

4. Trying to solve every problem they mention

→ Instead: Pick one transformation. Become known for that single result.

5. Waiting until you feel "qualified enough" to post

→ Instead: Share one insight regularly. Expertise builds in public.

The rest are in the infographic for you.

The coach who got my client charged £300 per session.

In her mind, that made his work infinitely more valuable.

She didn't just buy coaching.

She bought certainty that it mattered.

The market doesn't pay for your potential.

It pays for your conviction.

💾 Save this so that you avoid the common mistakes coaches make.

✅ Follow Graham Nicholls if building you coaching business is your passion.

I've watched brilliant coaches stay stuck.
And I felt like I was letting them down.

They'd have sessions filled with insights. 

Then text me the next week: "Nothing's changed."

It hurt that I wasn't helping.

Then I realised:

The problem wasn't their insight.
It was the gap between knowing and doing.

20 years of coaching experience taught me this:

Clients need proven, repeatable models to navigate the gaps.

Frameworks make insight repeatable.
Coaching makes them transformational.

These 7 frameworks turn awareness into action every time:

🧗 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: 
Identify which unmet needs hold your client back.

🎯 Comfort–Stretch–Panic Model: 
Find the zone where challenge meets safety.

🪜 Ladder of Inference: 
Reveal how thoughts shape beliefs and actions.

📈 Four Stages of Competence: 
Show clients where they are on the learning curve.

🔺 Drama Triangle: 
Spot unhealthy roles and shift from blame to ownership.

⭕ Circle of Influence & Concern: 
Focus energy where it makes the biggest difference.

🔄 The 5D Cycle: 
Lead positive, strengths-based change that lasts.

I've watched these models create transformation.

The difference is immediate. The results are lasting.

Insight without structure rarely survives between sessions.

Most coaches eventually find themselves relying on the same few frameworks again and again.

7 Coaching Frameworks That You Can Use Today

She spent 90 minutes trying to 'unpack' everything.
I gave her 30 minutes and one framework.
Breakthrough.

She was drowning in awareness with zero clarity.

Sam slumped in her chair. Tears in her eyes. Exhausted.

"I feel worse than when I arrived."

We'd spent 90 minutes in the weeds.

Anxiety. Stress. Fears.

All connected. None resolved.

This brilliant woman, reduced to a tangle of unprocessed thoughts.

I see this pattern constantly with high-performing clients.

That's when it hit me.

More time wasn't helping. It was hurting.

Insights everywhere. Direction nowhere.

So I tried something radical.

Next session: 30 minutes maximum.

One framework.

The LASER Framework was born from desperation.

And it's been my go-to with my clients ever since.

L = Locate (5 minutes)
"What's the one thing that, if it shifted today, would change everything?"

→ The core issue driving everything else
→ One specific problem

A = Analyse (10 minutes)
"When did this pattern start protecting you?"

→ Find the original benefit
→ Name the fear beneath the behaviour

S = Shift (10 minutes)
"What would you do differently if this fear wasn't running the show?"

→ Future self thinking
→ Concrete next steps

E = Execute (3 minutes)
"What's your commitment in 24 hours?"

→ Their words, not mine
→ One measurable action

R = Return (2 minutes)
"How will we know this worked next session?"

→ Evidence-based check-in
→ Accountability built in

Total: 30 minutes. No wandering.

"I need to set one boundary with my boss."

That was it.

90 minutes of complexity reduced to one clear next step.

She left energised. Hopeful. Ready.

Your clients aren't stuck because they don't understand themselves.

They're stuck because they're drowning in understanding.

Most people don’t need more insight.
They need fewer, better decisions.

💾 Save this if you run sessions that feel ‘deep’ but don’t move the needle

Real Estate Consultant

Medium

I began my writing journey in 2006 when I entered the software development field as a newcomer. At that time, I had limited knowledge about the industry. I started by documenting the solutions I created at work and my learnings and experiences. Initially, I posted my writings on Blogger.

Over the years, I gained substantial knowledge and began writing technical articles on my blog. I also contributed to professional websites like JavaCodeGeeks, which caters to developers, and I earned a decent amount from those contributions.

A few years later, I discovered Medium and created an account to share my real-life experiences and thoughts. My passion for writing gradually grew. However, in 2023, I faced a setback when I was fired from my job.

Since then, I have tried various endeavours, but nothing seemed to resonate with me. In August 2023, I began writing on LinkedIn. By December 2023, I set a goal to write 300 words daily on Medium, which proved to be a game-changer for me.

Now, I write every day on Medium to express my views. You can find my articles here: https://blog.vinodkashyap.com.

Writer

Horspaire

After being fired from my job in January 2023, I explored various options, but nothing seemed to work. During one of my outings, I ran into a friend who was successfully working as a freelancer in software development and video editing.

Inspiration struck, and I thought, "Why not give it a try?" This led me to start my own business, Horspaire. We specialize in providing comprehensive video solutions, ranging from video creation and expert editing to strategic marketing. Our mission is to equip clients with the tools and expertise needed to thrive in the digital landscape.

However, since I was new to this field and lacked experience, I ultimately decided to abandon the idea. I stopped working on video editing solutions in December 2023 to focus on moving forward in my life.

Founder

Beesolver Technology Pvt Ltd

I joined Beesolver by chance. A friend asked me to send him my CV because a company had a vacancy. Although I wasn't looking to change jobs, I sent it at his request. After a technical interview, I was selected for a client round.

The client was so pleasant that it felt more like a conversation than an interview. It lasted about 1.5 hours. A few days later, I received the news that I had been selected as a Team Lead, and the client was happy with what I shared during our discussion.

My first day at Beesolver coincided with the company's move to a new office, which felt fortunate. I began my journey there, leading a team of 15 people, including front-end developers, back-end developers, and QA specialists.

I have really enjoyed working at Beesolver. Here are the details about the project I was involved in.

Development Team Lead

Power Morning

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we were all working from home. Some friends I mentor decided to embark on a new venture together. Since we all enjoy waking up early and mastering various skills, we brainstormed an idea for a morning project.

Thus, "Power Mornings" was born. We secured a website and created email addresses for our initiative. I handled all the technical aspects, including website creation and email registration. However, after a few days, some members started to miss our morning meetings, and the enthusiasm began to wane.

Ultimately, we decided to wrap up the project and move on. Here are the details of what we aimed to achieve with Power Mornings.

Some of the benefits of Power Morning. Doing a power morning routine and starting your day with a bang is always good practice. Own your morning and transform your life.

Better Weight Loss
Morning is the optimal exercise time for those trying to lose weight. It will result in fewer food cravings throughout the day.

Increased Productivity
A morning routine will help us be more productive. We do most of the planning before starting the day, so we focus more on our work.

Controls Anxiety
Regular meditation practice helps to control anxiety. It will help people to manage their body stress in a better way.

Improves sleep
Most people today are deprived of sleep due to various reasons. However, practising daily meditation can help us get better sleep at night.

Drops blood pressure
Physical Activity is the best way to naturally control hypertension. Research has found that changes in blood pressure occur around 7 a.m.

The clarity in your life
Regularly writing goals makes your life a blissful experience. It will create clarity in your life.

AGNEXT

I have been sitting at home after being fired from my job. About 10 months later, I received a call from HR offering me a position as a Java Developer. When I arrived, I found it interesting to discover that only the founder and the HR representative were the company's employees. I realized it would be a great opportunity to work here, as building a company from scratch is challenging.

During my time at AgNext, I learned a great deal, especially about AWS, through hands-on experience and experimentation. I was responsible for hiring team members and had the authority to architect the product. I am currently leading the team. Below are the details of the product we are building.

We are developing a next-generation agricultural product for farmers utilizing Java 8, Spring Boot 2, JWT, and Angular 5. I am handling the development of all REST services and the front-end solution for the product. Additionally, other mobile teams are creating an Android application that will consume these REST services. The product will be deployed on AWS using an EC2 instance with RDS as the database. SSL certificates will also be implemented on the EC2 instances.

Moreover, we are working on IoT sensors that will send data to our servers.

I also contributed to another agricultural project that was deployed on IBM Cloud and utilized Cloudant DB.

Here are the details of my role:
- Managing a team of 11 people: 5 Java developers and 4 Android developers
- Architecting the solutions
- Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO)

We have collaborated with clients such as ITC, KPMG, Jasmine, and Compass.

Senior Java Developer

Self Employed

I was recently fired from my job and found myself idly searching for new job opportunities. Despite forwarding my resume to friends and applying everywhere I could, I struggled to find a position.

One day, a person suddenly reached out to me for help creating a product. I had no prior experience in freelancing, so I hesitated at first but eventually decided to seize the opportunity. We began discussing the product over Skype and agreed on a fixed amount for the project.

I provided a rough estimate based on the requirements he shared with me and started building the product. However, as soon as I completed one component, the client requested additional features. When I asked for payment, he said he would only pay after I finished that module.

This pattern continued for four months. Eventually, I told him that I would only continue working on the product once I received payment. In response, he claimed he couldn't pay because he didn't yet have a final product. In the end, I created a ZIP file containing the work I had completed and delivered it to the client, but he never paid me.

That experience was a hard lesson for me—it was my first time building something as a freelancer. It taught me many valuable lessons, both technically and mentally, and provided me with important life lessons as well. Here are the details of the project I completed for the client. I am still waiting for the payment.
