Ever wondered what actually happens inside a coaching session? Not the fluffy, surface-level stuff, but real, career-altering transformation? 

I’m Shayla King, your favorite performance and happiness coach—and today, I’m pulling back the curtain. This episode is your no-BS, behind-the-scenes look at what really happens in coaching, why it works, and the exact tools I use to help high performers create big, bold changes at work and in life. 

You’ll learn the three powerful tools that drive growth for every 5% Club leader—and exactly why my consults don’t feel like anyone else’s. 

Consults Aren’t Sales Calls. They’re Your First Breakthrough. 

Let’s bust a myth: a consult with me is not a sales pitch. It’s real coaching. 

Bring your biggest challenge, your secret ambition, or that nagging feeling something needs to change. I listen, ask strategic questions, and coach you through what’s actually happening, so you leave with clarity and an action plan. 

It’s not “tell me your goals, let me sell you coaching.” 

It’s: Let’s get you unstuck—right now. 

Why Most Coaching Feels Generic—And Mine Doesn’t 

Most coaches offer coaching or mentorship—not both. I do both, because I’ve been where you are: leading in high-stakes boardrooms, building teams, facing impossible goals. I bring that real-life experience into every session. No scripts. No guessing. 

Just powerful tools and real talk that drive you further, faster. 

The Three Tools That Change Everything 

Tool 1: The Human Action Model (Ludwig von Mises) 

Used for decades in global leadership (and by me at Koch Industries), this model explains why people change and why they stay stuck. 

• Step 1: You’re uncomfortable with the current state (your job, boss, pay, or just “good” when you know you’re made for extraordinary). 
• Step 2: You see a clear vision for a better future (and yes, you can have performance + happiness, not just grind). 
• Step 3: You actually believe it’s possible for you. 

This tool isn’t just for coaching—it’s a playbook for leading change at work, too. If you want next-level results, you need all three. If you don’t have belief yet? Borrow mine until you do. 

Tool 2: The Model (Brooke Castillo, The Life Coach School) 

Your thoughts create your results. Period. 

Here’s the framework: Circumstance → Thought → Feeling → Action → Result. 

Most people try to white-knuckle their actions. Real transformation starts at the thought level. Change your thinking, and you’ll change your outcomes—fast. 

This is the foundation for all my mindset coaching inside the Performance + Happiness Blueprint. 

Tool 3: The Reactive-to-Creative Journey (ACT, Brown University) 

ICF-certified coaches know: transformation means moving from reactivity to creativity. 

You start stuck—triggered, spinning, overwhelmed. Through coaching, you gain awareness, see new perspectives, and realize you always have a choice. 

We move from “I can’t” and “it’s not fair” to “What’s possible for me?” 

One call, one shift—career-altering, life-changing. 

Why My Coaching Works—And What You Get in a Consult 

Every session is 100% personalized. I pull from my PH+ Framework (Results, Relationships, Rituals) and these world-class tools to meet you where you are. 

You’ll get: 

• Clarity on your true goals (not just “something better,” but what you actually want) 
• Honest, loving feedback (my only agenda: your growth) 
• A mindset shift that sticks 
• A real plan—so you can move forward immediately
