What if you've invested thousands in coaching programs, courses, and certifications and still don't have a coaching business that feels like yours?

That's exactly where Thais Glenn found herself. A certified coach, a mom of three, a woman with the skills but missing the one thing that actually moves the needle: a business built around who she is and what she wants.

If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women coaches go from invisible to booked — without burning out or losing themselves in the process.

In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why investing in certification doesn't automatically mean clients will come
• How Thais went from spending five figures on the wrong coaching to building a fully booked practice
• The identity shift that turns "I have imposter syndrome" into unshakeable confidence
• Why knowing your signature framework eliminates self-doubt faster than any mindset course
• How to build a boutique coaching business that fits your life — not the other way around
• What it really takes to hit six figures as a coach (hint: it's not 80-hour weeks)

If you’re using AI to build your coaching business, you need to listen this, because in this episode we’re going to show you exactly how it might be hurting your results - and what to do instead.

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I’m a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I’ve helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.

If you’re relying on AI to pick your niche or write your content, this is the shift you need to make if you want to build a coaching business that actually works.

In this episode, we’ll walk through:
• Why letting AI choose your niche leads to a business that doesn’t convert
• How AI-generated content creates a disconnect that clients can feel immediately
• What happens when your message sounds polished online but doesn’t match who you are on calls
• Why trust is the most important factor in getting clients—and how AI can quietly erode it
• The real reason most coaches struggle to get clients, even when they’re “doing everything right”
• How to identify the niche you should actually be coaching based on your own experience
• The right way to use AI as a tool without losing your voice, message, or authority

AI is not the problem. The way most coaches are using it is.

When your business sounds like you, aligns with your experience, and connects with real people, everything changes - your message lands, your confidence grows, and clients start to trust you.

If you want to get more views on YouTube as a coach, you're in the right place, because in this episode we're going to show you exactly how to do it with titles, thumbnails, and SEO.

In Part 5 of this 5-part YouTube for Coaches Series, Debbie Shadid and YouTube Strategist Nicole Janton break down exactly how to get your coaching videos found on YouTube in 2026 - using the right keywords, thumbnail strategy, and SEO tools so the right people find you every time you publish.

If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.

If you want more people to find your coaching videos on YouTube, YouTube SEO is the skill that makes it happen, and this video breaks it down in a way that's simple, practical, and built for coaches.

In this episode, we'll walk through:

• The 4 places YouTube looks for keywords to decide who sees your coaching video
• Why your title and thumbnail should never say the same thing, and how to use both to double your reach
• How to choose thumbnail colors, fonts, and photos that get coaches noticed in the YouTube feed
• How to use TubeBuddy and VidIQ to find the best keywords for your coaching videos

YouTube is not just a platform. For coaches, it is a library of trust-building content that works for your business around the clock, and once you understand SEO, every video you publish starts working harder for you.

When you commit to YouTube as a coach and learn how to get your videos found, your channel grows, your authority builds, and your coaching business compounds in a way no other platform can match.
