A few weeks ago, Mattison celebrated her 20th "Coachaversary", meaning she's been coaching professionally - and blowing minds - for 20 years. I traveled to Houston, along with many of her current and former clients, to attend the impressive celebration, followed by a mysterious "quest collage" workshop, the next day. Here pictured are several of us at the workshop (No, we're not on jury duty!). You may recognize three current/former SCM students, [Matt Connor](https://www.coach-connor.com/) middle front, [Eric LeJeune](http://www.keymanagementgrp.com/index.php/about-us/74-pages/team/coaches/209-eric-lejeune), who's taking the selfie, and [Nancy McCabe](http://www.resultsbusinesscoaching.com/) between them, way in the back. Mattison is half-hidden, third from the left (appropriate because coaching is all about your clients). I'm at the far right. Also pictured from left are [Gika Rector](http://www.gikarector.com/about/), [Sarah Shah](http://sarahshah.com/), and [Kathi Crawford](http://peoplepossibilities.com/). The 42-minute interview recording is below. We cover topics like... - What was it like way back in the olden days of coaching? - How did she succeed so well when some coaches struggle? - What's a typical week like for Mattison? - How to distinguish yourself from other coaches. - Why saying things like, "My life is my certification," will drive away potential clients. - What does the future hold for coaching? - A whole lot more.
