Meet The Academies Coaching Instructor, James Beeman, MCC
In this interview segment, James Beeman recounts his professional coaching journey, beginning with his completion of the Certified Coach Mentor Coach (CCMC) class in 2014 and his subsequent pursuit of a professional coach certification. He describes the transition from being an employee to becoming an full‑time entrepreneur as a major leap, emphasizing how the tools, conversational strategies, and connections he gained from the class helped him build confidence, expand his network, and launch a six‑figure coaching business within roughly three years. Beeman highlights that a coach’s most powerful asset is themselves—their strengths, curiosity, intuition, and inquiry. He advocates for shifting perspective to view clients as creative, resourceful, and whole, which he believes makes the mechanics of coaching easier to deliver.
