From Suicidal to Sought-After: Laura Berman Fortgang's Coaching Journey
Before she was a five-time bestselling author, TEDx speaker with over 2 million views, and one of the founding architects of the coaching industry itself, Laura Berman Fortgang was a struggling actress and waitress in a depression so severe her parents tried to have her hospitalized. In this episode, Laura pulls back the curtain on the moment she chose to run instead, and the intuitive phone call that led her to become student number 16 in the world's first coach training program, one of the sixteen founders of the International Coaching Federation.
Laura shares candid, practical wisdom for coaches and entrepreneurs, including why 82% of coaches go out of business within two years, the four objections that kill sales conversations, and why she believes "if you want a course in personal development, start a business - you will be up against your demons." She also offers a clear-eyed take on where the coaching industry is headed as AI reshapes the profession, arguing that the more people lean on AI, the more they'll crave real human connection - making high-skill human coaches more valuable, not less.
Beyond business, Laura opens up about her unexpected path to becoming an interfaith minister after 9/11, immersing herself in fourteen religions over two years to become a "bridge for ignorance," and what she's learned about herself along the way: that after a lifetime of running scared before she felt ready, she believes in herself now more than ever.
This is a conversation about reinvention, courage, and what it actually takes to build a life and business you believe in - even when you don't yet believe in yourself. Listen for the wisdom, stay for the mic-drop moments.
