Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the Good
Neighbor Podcast.
Are you in need of atransformational life coach?
Well, one may be closer thanyou think.
Today I have the pleasure ofintroducing your good neighbor,
laura Walker, with Laura WalkerCoaching.
Laura, how have you been thismorning?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I'm doing great,
Sophia.
Thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, and it's a
pleasure to have you on.
We are so excited today tolearn all about you and your
unique business.
Let's get started.
How did you get into thisbusiness originally?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I had noticed over my
lifetime raising four grown
children, owning a couple ofcompanies in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area One was a largewindow company and one a private
aviation company that therewere definite patterns of
success and there were certainways to do those things in a
proven system with someaccountability.
That had played out both in mypersonal life and my
(01:04):
professional life and peoplebegan to ask me how and what did
you do?
Those kinds of questions.
So I decided it was probablytime to start a consulting or a
coaching practice to help peoplehave the same powerful,
successful results in theirlives.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Amazing.
And what is the most commonmyth or misconception you come
across in your industry, and isthere anything else you'd like
to share with us about yourbusiness?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
sure.
So in my industry a lot ofpeople cannot differentiate
between therapy, counseling andcoaching and there's a big
difference actually.
Actually One deals withlong-term past behaviors that
have maybe a medical conditionthat deals with it, or maybe
(01:54):
depression, things of thatnature.
I too deal with that.
But I tend to take healthypeople that want to get out of a
stuck pattern in their life,people that maybe they feel like
they have great success intheir family but maybe not so
much in their health andwell-being or in their finances
or in, maybe, their career, ormaybe they've started adulting
(02:16):
to a level that they no longerhave fun and have hobbies in
their life.
So we look at little pieces oftheir life where they have some
longing and discontent and webegin to blueprint what they
would love, that to lookaccountability to quantum leap
them into that, that burningdesire that they have and then
becoming they get to see howthey can become this really
(02:55):
quite more easily than theythought that they could when
they started and they felt so,so stuck.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Wow, well, it all
sounds like it's, at the end of
the day, about progress, notperfection, right?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Absolutely 100%,
Sophia you nailed it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now we know marketing
is the heart of every business.
How do you currently marketyour business and who are your
target clients or audience?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I have a dual
modality, so initially I was
pretty much online onlinenetworking groups, online lead
services.
That's how I built my othercompanies previously over 20
years.
But I do a lot more in personnow.
I love to go out and get toe totoe with people in the
community all across North TexasFort Worth, colleyville, south
Lake, Keller, frisco, mckinney,anywhere and really get to know
(03:50):
people and see where they'rehurting and where they could
really use some support andencouragement.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's my main
marketing.
Now, do you base this off anyage groups or specific
demographics?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I tend to attract
certain demographics and age
groups.
Like attracts like, and I dowork a lot with the law of
attraction, if you've ever seenthe Secret.
That's kind of where I comefrom, that's the platform that I
come from, but overall, no,I've worked with 19 year old
kiddos heading off to collegetrying to get clarity on what
they want to do with their life,all the way to this 75 year old
(04:21):
widowed woman that's lookingfor love again after she's lost
her spouse.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Wow Now have you ever
thought of having your own
podcast?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I actually do have my
own podcast.
It's called the Power of Easyand we're out there on Apple
Podcast and Spotify and it is.
It is a labor of love.
I absolutely love my podcastand what I get to share with my
listeners there.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Outside of work.
What do you usually like to dofor fun, laura?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I love to hang with
my four grown children.
They're all I like to call themproductive parts of society.
I have three boys and a girl.
They're all over the age of 23.
Lots of shopping, lots oftravel.
I've traveled the world.
I just got back from Dubai afew months ago and that was a
very interesting culturalexperience.
When I just embraced, it waswonderful.
So I love to travel, love toshop.
(05:11):
Girls, trips, hang hang outwith friends.
Relationships are my favoritehobby.
It doesn't really matter whatI'm doing, it's who I'm doing it
with.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh well, that's,
that's a beautiful thing.
Now, please tell our listenersone thing they should remember
about Laura Walker coaching that.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Transformational
coaches, live coaches,
therapists, counselors they'reall different.
What makes a transformationalcoach different is the level of
certification and training thatwe have to take you through a
systematic transformationalprocess in your life to really
get the results that you wantvery, very quickly.
(05:50):
We work with full laws of theuniverse, we work with faith, we
work with fear, and I have aninternational bestselling book,
on Amazon too, that has 38 of myclients' transformational
stories.
Each chapter is a different oneof my clients that I've worked
with over the years and theytell their story of how quickly
they transform their lives, andthat's the difference with
(06:12):
working with a transformationalcoach.
All coaches are not creativelythe same, for sure.
