There are lots of movies and television shows that focus on the theme of "power" (there's even a TV series with that as its actual title) 

 

But in my humble opinion, the best is "Breaking Bad". 

 

Walter White starts the series as a brilliant, yet unappreciated, high school chemistry teacher who commands little respect from his students, his family, or his boss at the car wash that he has to work at just to make ends meet. 

 

And to make things worse, he's diagnosed with terminal cancer on his 50th birthday ...

 

Over the course of the series Walter (spoiler alert) transforms himself into a powerful drug kingpin named "Heisenberg", who uses power to control others like puppets on strings as he builds his empire. 

 

At first glance you wouldn’t think this would be applicable to coaches, but it's actually very relevant since successful ones understand power and wield it properly, while struggling ones give their power to others (and then complain about it).

 

Since this is such an important subject that's not being talked about nearly enough in the coaching world, I'm focusing on it inside the April issue of the "Secret Coach Club" hard copy newsletter. 

 

If you're feeling powerless, you'll want to read it and put the lessons into action immediately. 

 

Also inside this issue: 

 

- Learn about an unexplored coaching niche that you can get started in ASAP (as long as you like working with kids!) 

 

- Discover my one minute "trick" to instantly build rapport with anyone during virtual and in-person meetings (it's so simple, yet few do it) 

 

- A bonus interview transcript with Renaye Thornborrow from "Adventures in Wisdom" that you can't find anywhere else ... 

 

- And my monthly "Marc's Musings" section, where I tell how a podcaster messed up and lost a lot of her listeners, including me!  

 

It goes to the printer soon, so the deadline to get in is this Wednesday, March 31st at midnight EST. Subscribe here:
