In this episode of the Wait What Really OK podcast, Loren Weisman, a brand communications and optics strategist, explores the phenomenon of having more coaches on the sidelines than players on the field.

When considering coaches, ask yourself: do they support, strengthen, and ground you with authenticity and authority? Do they provide practices and posture, stability and security, experience and education, humility and honesty?

Are they equipped with the intelligence and strategies to help you learn, maintain, and sustain your efforts and growth even after your time with them ends? Or are they merely marketing with foolish promises, false hype, and empty claims? Be careful. Vet and double-check any coach or program.

Look at their accountability and humility, experience and authority, contracts and terms, authentic ability, marketing, popularity, promises, and honor. Examine their background, the people they've worked with, and the legitimacy of their books, videos, quotes, courses, content, certifications, and claims. Are these materials original or just boilerplate templates and marketing?

If a coach claims to help anyone at any stage, isn't that a little scary?

The Brand Communications and Optics Podcast Wait What Really OK is a methodical, comical and informational podcast sharing authentic brand messaging, optics approaches & strategies for honorable authority driven businesses.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
