027 | "Is Growth Coaching Right For You?" (Julius at Volate)

Today’s guest on the “Phil with F30” podcast is Julius Bachmann – Coach from Volate Forbes List: Europe  Year: 2017  Category: Financing It’s not every day that I get to have a conversation with a fellow coach, especially one who joins me in the Forbes under 30 club! It took some time for Julius Bachmann to realize he was a working coach and much more than just an advisor to start-up companies needing help in developing the monetary side of their business. He is now breaking new territory as an executive and team coach, plus serving as a venture capital advisor based in Berlin.   As a former Coach at Volate, he worked with European founders on tackling personal, organizational, and business growth topics. He also serves as a VC expert advisor to the European Commission on its Horizon 2020 program.   Phil says, “Not every athlete has a coach, but every Olympian does.” If you want to take your performance to the next level - invest in a coach.   Our conversation covered so many topics including: The unique health and happiness company Julius advises Overcoming the stigma of coaching in Germany The importance of non-judgment and having an open curiosity when meeting people Accepting people where they are in their coaching journey Appreciation and gratitude Acting as a partner to his clients The importance of accountability How reaching goals accelerates with the guidance of a coach Some of the successful people who invested in themselves by investing in a coach Julius is someone to be admired for his approach to helping others achieve their goals. He has a great talent for guiding a client’s journey to success. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did and please, take him up on his very generous offer in the notes below. “Under 30 Seconds Round” 1.
