CM: Why did you enter TCE? And/or, what did you want to get out of it?
MM: I enrolled in TCE to deepen my communication and leadership skills. At the time, I was one year into running my solo law practice and in my eleventh year as an attorney. I believed TCE would support how I wanted to grow my firm and possibly open me to a new line of business via coaching.
CM: What is the most valuable thing you got out of TCE?
MM: This is a tough question because it’s hard to pick one thing. So, I’ll bend the rules here and give you two! First, the relationships I formed. The people who come to TCE commit to growth and are compassionate human beings. I have remained friends and colleagues with numerous people from my cohort, and I am comfortable reaching out to any of them for a chat, business advice, or a coaching session. Second, a different way to be with people – not just clients – all people. I deepened my listening skills and learned what impact being curious with people can have. I truly changed the way I show up with clients, friends, family, and complete strangers. My relationships are more meaningful as a result.
CM: Did your reasons for entering the program change through the program and if so, how?
MM: My reasons didn’t change, but my outcome did. Midway through the program, I decided I wanted to focus my energy on launching my own coaching practice, rather than growing a law firm. I saw that I could help people without the adversary nature of the legal work I was doing and include more speaking and training in my business.
CM: What are you doing now with your coaching education?
MM: I am the founder of Megan Moore, Inc., so I am a full-time business owner, coach, and consultant. My business launched in January 2021, and since then I have had a steady stream of individual clients and coaching groups. I also consult with law firms and educational organizations to provide workshops and training on leadership, accountability, goal setting, and career growth. I also continue to support TCE, first as a staff coach and now as a guest coach, where I get to see the growth and change in others who come to this program.

CM: When did you complete the Transformative Coaching Essentials program and what are some of the most valuable things you got out of it?
MM: TCE 2020 (Jan. 2021)
Learning how to be curious with other people.
Understanding the importance of starting with an outcome. Turns out this is true not only for coaching calls, but in many areas of life. Business meetings, traveling, money discussions, all of the places!
Lifelong friendships with people I never would have met.
CM: Do you consider yourself a life coach? If no, how would you describe who you are professionally?
MM: I consider myself a career or business coach, not a life coach. I help career driven professionals build resilience, feel fulfilled, and take leaps into leadership.
With that said, some of my clients call me a life coach, and most of my clients have outcomes outside of their careers.
CM: What would you say to somebody who told you they were thinking about becoming a life coach?
MM: Top questions I’d ask:
How do you define “life coach?”
What appeals to you about life coaching?
How has your life been impacted by a coach?
CM: What is one misperception you believe people have about coaches (whether designated “life coach” or something else)?
MM: That coaches tell their clients what to do and fix/solve their problems.
CM: Are you a full-time coach?
MM: Yes.
CM: What is your coaching specialty?
MM: I work with career driven professionals who thrive on work but are ready for something different or something more. My clients generally come from three places: they feel stuck; they want harmony between work and personal commitments; they want to pursue leadership or launch their own business.
CM: Do you have a website dedicated to your coaching business?
PB: Yes. Please visit me at https://meganmooreinc.com/.
