Coaches & Consultants
Want to build visibility & get leads with your podcast?
90-Day Idea to Launch your Podcast Immersive Program:
Build Your Reach, Your Reputation (as a Trusted Authority) & Your Revenue
You’ve heard a podcast can help build your visibility for your coaching business. However, you have no idea where to start, or what you need to have in place so that you can begin to generate results as soon as you launch your podcast – so you’re looking for the right support to help you.
You’re in the right place!
Launching a podcast is relatively easy. However, launching a podcast with the goal of building your reach (with your ideal client), building your reputation (as a trusted authority) AND building your revenue as you continue to nurture listeners into leads for your business from your very first episode – that’s another matter, altogether.
You need the RIGHT strategy along with the RIGHT message and unique and uncopyable listener experience that has your ideal client captivated from the introduction right through to your outro, while being compelled to binge listen to every single episode.
As she’s listening to your voice – she’s beginning to get a sense of who you are, through the stories you share, the questions you ask your guest, and the insights you impart. Your quirky characteristics and mannerisms that make you – YOU, along with your unique style and approach, enables her to really get to KNOW you, to LIKE you, and to TRUST you.
She feels like you understand her; you know what she’s struggling with; and you’re sowing seeds of hope and possibility into her life with your stories and insights. Because you DO know her.
She’s YOUR ideal client. In fact, you know exactly what she’s struggling with, what’s keeping her stuck, and what she needs to hear and learn. She’s EXACTLY who you LOVE to work with!
And, it’s why each time you release a new episode, whether you’re interviewing a guest or publishing a solo show – you know the information and stories you share will continue to confirm your promise of value and your promise of expectation – the outcome which is possible for her to achieve.
So, by the time she’s binge listened to every one of your episodes and has also stalked you (in the best way possible) across your social media platforms (because she loves what you stand for and wants to immerse herself into your world) – she couldn’t think of anyone else she’d rather have to support her in her journey – than YOU!
Welcome to Podcasting with Purpose and Interviewing with Purpose:
90-Day ‘Idea to Launch’ your Podcast Immersive Program.
Welcome to Podcasting With Purpose – a comprehensive Podcast Training Program – specifically designed for Coaches and/or Consultants.
Our comprehensive program is uniquely created with coaches and consultants in mind and integrates personal branding, defining your message, business growth, communications (i.e. interviewing with intention and purpose) and podcast production, along with a strategic launch plan that will enable you to begin to build your list of ideal clients before you publish your show. You’ll know exactly how to create a unique listener experience that builds ‘know, like and trust’ and begins to nurture listeners into leads, enquiries and ultimately paying customers from your very first episode.
Why a Podcast?
People are busier than ever. They’re overwhelmed with information and have more choices available to them than they know how to deal with.
This presents a real challenge when it comes to gaining AND maintaining people’s attention long enough to build any level of real engagement and awareness of the value you offer.
If this is something you’re struggling with, you’re not alone.
Video vs Blog Posts vs Podcasts
Which is better?
As businesses continue to look for ways to grow their visibility and reach, I’m often asked the question – “Which is better? Video, blogs or podcasting?” To which I respond: “They are ALL great platforms to build brand awareness, IF you use them correctly.
However, what other medium allows you to spend 20-30 minutes (or longer) with your ideal client on a regular basis, because they WANT and CHOOSE to listen to you? A podcast can AND does!”
Video specialists encourage us to keep our videos short and concise. That poses a really challenge if we want to build real connection and engagement with someone in only 60 or 120 seconds. [Even if you’re a fast-talker like me!]
When it comes to articles, blog posts (and even books) people typically scan the content and therefore don’t get a sense of the real – YOU. Plus they bring their own perceptions to the relationship, which can unfortunately cause them to misinterpret the message you’re trying to convey.
However with a podcast, people hear and engage with your voice as you change your tonality, your pace, your pitch, and incorporate laughter – at just the right moment.
For instance, which do you think would impact you most? Reading ‘LOL’ or hearing someone else’s belly laugh? [Hearing someone laugh for sure! I only have to hear someone laughing out loud and I begin to smile and chuckle. And, if it’s a real ‘belly laugh’ – you know the sort of laugh that brings tears to your eyes – I can’t help but burst out laughing too.]
You really CAN influence and build a much deeper connection with people, right from the opening introduction of your podcast through to the outro.
In fact, one of my newest listeners of my podcast – Women In Leadership, said this to me :
“I listened to the latest episode. I like the future-focused feedback and I laughed out loud about the rabbit story. I can’t wait to binge listen to the archives.”
– Carmen Williams
Recap: “I can’t wait to binge listen to the archives.” That’s 65 episodes at 30-minutes approximately in length, which is 32.5 hours she will spend listening to my voice and interacting with me. (By the way, Carmen and I ended up working together in one of my VIP branding programs, which I’m sure was influenced by the ‘know, like and trust’ and the relationship she had built with me through listening to the podcast).
What other medium enables you to spend that amount of time, building a deeper relationship with people because they want to binge listen to more of your content? You CAN with a podcast.
Who is your mentor/coach – Annemarie Cross?
Hi, I’m Annemarie. I started my first co-hosted podcast in 2008 when I worked in the career industry following the Global Financial Crisis. I began Career Success Radio to be the voice of hope and inspiration amongst the doom and gloom, being shared by mainstream media. (Sadly, mainstream media hasn’t changed much!) We published the show for two years and during that time developed strong alliances with career experts, and inspired thousands of job seekers worldwide. It was an exciting time.
However, looking back, I would have done things differently. A LOT differently! Because, while we had a great show that inspired many people – we struggled to make any money from all of the hours and the hard work we put in to producing our show. This was one of the main reasons we stopped production.
When the show came to an end, my mission of ‘changing the world – one message at a time’ saw me continue to publish various leadership and business-focused podcasts on my Podcast Network – Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast Network. Today, I continue to host and produce three podcasts as well as podcasts for my Alliance Partners.
I’ve been dubbed ‘The Podcasting Queen’ (from guests, colleagues and clients); I’ve been nominated for and won awards for my podcasts; and I’m recognised as a pioneer in the podcasting space. I’ve also been honoured to have my podcasts be syndicated on both National and International Radio – you never know where your voice will end up and whom you will continue to inspire!
It was after my worst business failure that I started Women In Leadership Podcast to help me deal with my grief and loss. However, after only 3 episodes being published, I accidentally secured two 4-figure clients. Surprised, I wondered whether I could retrace the steps these two prospective clients had taken – going from knowing absolutely nothing about me to wanting to work with me after finding my website and listening to just three episodes of my new podcast.
Key principles, a book – Industry Thought Leader: How to go from Invisible to Influential (and Profitable) with a Podcast later – my signature programs, Podcasting with Purpose and Interviewing with Purpose were born. Some of my Podcasting Principles include:
👉 MessageBEFOREMicrophone: because you can’t create a compelling listener experience or content that converts and positions your thought leadership from fluff and banter. Even if it was recorded on an expensive microphone.
👉 People come for the topic BUT return for the Host.
IF you create a distinguishable and uncopyable listener experience your ideal client relates to on your podcast.
And,
👉 The RIGHT podcast strategy starts with the END IN MIND.
Fast-forward to today, I’ve been ranked in the top 20 Business Coaches, Melbourne (2020) and continue to leverage my two decades of experience in Personal Branding and 13 years’ experience in podcasting to support my clients set up the RIGHT podcast strategy/tactic so they can nurture listeners into leads, enquiries and customers from their very FIRST episode.
And, it’s what I continue to teach in my 90-Day ‘Idea to Launch’ your Podcast Immersive Program. I’d love to support you in getting your thought leader podcast from idea to LAUNCHED!!
The Podcasting with Purpose course with Annemarie Cross was a huge help to me in getting my podcast up and running
and my message of impact shared.
Starting up and sustaining a successful podcast involved more than ‘meets the eye’! I soon realised I needed a well thought out strategy, systems to support it, along with all the technical know-how; and it all seemed so overwhelming… before Annemarie came to the rescue with her step-by step guidance and wealth of experience.
Annemarie walked us through every detail from preparation to production and was also on hand to answer any questions that
cropped up along the way.
I don’t think my ‘Be Fit 2 Sit’ podcast would have made it on air without Annemarie and the PWP program!
Kym Siddons
Podcast Host | Be Fit 2 Sit Podcast
Annemarie Cross has simply the best podcast training I’ve seen. It’s so much more than recording a bit of audio and uploading it somewhere! You cover it all!
The foundation building in PWP is such an important part of the podcasts sustainability. All of the seemingly boring, tedious “work” will ensure you have the best chance of success.
Your message, your delivery, your processes.
If you don’t build a solid foundation….what’s the point…
You cover it all. Thank you!
Nia McMartin
I wanted to start my podcast so that I could get my message out to my potential clients. Blogging and posting on social media hadn’t got me very far. People tell me that they like my voice, so I thought that perhaps a vocal podcast might get me better results.
I found the information in the program, invaluable. Annemarie has this way of stimulating my thought processes, and opening up my mind to all sorts of possibilities that I’d never considered. She also put my fears to rest, and helped me to realise that I had something unique and valuable to contribute.
I learned that planning is key. I can’t just press record and start a verbal stream of consciousness. For my podcast to be good, and for it to last, I need to plan and prepare ahead. Also, content creation isn’t as hard as I first thought. I have major topics I can talk about, and they all have little side branches I can explore.
The thing that excites me most, is that I now know how to produce good quality, structured content, which will hopefully help my potential clients.
I have had the pleasure of working with Annemarie both privately and as part of a group. Annemarie has been podcasting for years, and really knows her stuff. If you are willing to put in the work and the time, she will give generously from her wisdom, and will do everything she can to help you succeed. Her group workshop material is very high quality, and very practical.
As a private coach, she is insightful and generous.
Whether you work with Annemarie privately, or in a group, you’ll definitely get excellent value for your money.
Amanda Heal
Life Purpose Champion | The Do What You Love Podcast
I realised that having a voice and sharing your untold story is important developing that know, like and trust.
When I first began Annemarie’s Podcasting Course I wasn’t really sure what to expect but as I worked through the course if there was anything that I didn’t understand Annemarie was there to help answer any questions that I had. She help me understand the processes and procedures that are required to set up your podcast show and how important it is to have systems in place to make it run smoothly and professionally.
I notice now that when I am having a conversation with someone it is easy for me to explain what I do and why. I am continually being introduced to people who want to share their stories and have a voice.
I am constantly working with clients to help them share their stories and I find that being a podcaster is not only fun but rewarding because you are sharing the clients untold story and helping them create a legacy.
If anyone is thinking of doing their own podcast business I would highly recommend that they connect with Annemarie and have a conversation about what it takes to be a professional podcaster and understand that it is important to have the systems in place so that when creating their podcast it is easier than starting from scratch and not really knowing what to do.
Annemarie’s course takes the stress out of know what needs to be done and how which makes it so much easier in the long term.
Thank you Annemarie for your continued support – your course has given me a great understanding and start to creating my own Podcasts.

The 3 Podcast Profit Models: Overview & The Formula
- You’ve most likely heard me share my story about how my worst business failure has become a pivotal moment for me, because it led me down the path to where I am today. It was after this ‘failure’, I started Women In Leadership Podcast to help me deal with my loss, however after 3 episodes I ‘accidentally’ got two 4-figure clients.A few years later I thought – could I retrace these steps and recreate them intentionally and show others? Key principles, a book and program, later – Podcasting With Purpose was born, along with these three Podcast Models.

The Distinction Triad: U [You!]
- This is the model I developed after observing one of my former executive clients over several years in my career consultancy. It became apparent that the reason for her impressive successes and achievements was because of three things. Understand what they are and how you can leverage them to become distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible – THE choice vs just A choice with your ideal client.
Your Signature Brand Archetypes

The Branding With Archetypes System will enable you to capture the heart and soul, the personality and passion of you and what you do so your ‘Ideal Listener’ (i.e. Ideal Client) will want to subscribe to and listen to your show again and again. [Note: Clients often comment that the price of the course alone is in the value they have received from the Branding With Archetypes process. It’s THAT good!]
Note: Even if you already have a brand, the Branding With Archetypes System will help you create an irresistible and instantly recognisable presence, while enable you to create your. distinguishable, uncopyable and irresistible brand and message so you become THE choice vs just A choice when your ideal client is ready to move forward.
Naming Your Podcast
- What’s in a name – when it comes to your podcast? Everything! From your podcast being found in Google (when someone searches for a keyword/phrase that is in your podcast name), a promise a value in the outcome and information a potential listener can gain from your podcast, to positioning you and your message as an authority, right through to creating an asset that has the potential to be sold.

Being prepared for ALL guests – even the most difficult of guests is important.

I provide tips and techniques to deal with:
- The spammy guest who sounds more like an infomercial
- The guest who doesn’t shut up
- The guest who hardly says a word
- The guest who is D.U.L.L. and B.O.R.I.N.G.

Success Stories
My business partner and I knew it was time to start a podcast so we could get our message out there.
I was a little apprehensive before diving into the content as I thought it was going to be confusing. However, the trainings are structured and delivered in a way that made the information easy to understand. It was so much easier than I thought.
Thank you Annemarie for the knowledge you offer, how you took us through the process step-by-step, and the giving of your time to help us work through the questions.
If you are thinking of enrolling in Podcasting With Purpose but are a little hesitant like I was – DO IT! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It is TIME to get your message out there.

Starting a podcast was something my business partner and I wanted to do to share our message in a much bigger way. The Branding With Archetypes Module that Annemarie starts the training off with, enabled me to have one of my biggest aha’s.
Through knowing what makes us unique and then being able to define our Signature Brand so we can ensure our podcast is unique – right from the title of our podcast, the words we use in our intro and outro, as well as our selection of music, so we can capture the heart and soul of who we are and ultimately can speak directly to our ideal client through the information we share on each podcast, is priceless.
Another aha, was being able to get clarity on the type of podcast we wanted to create as well as the importance of choosing a specific audience – all crucial information that will ensure our podcast stands out. If you are a little apprehensive in doing this course – just give it a go! I met a podcaster who is getting massive corporate clients from her podcast. What have you got to lose!

The main reason we decided to launch our Succeed with Money Podcast was because we were very aware that a vast majority of people in this country struggle with overwhelming debt and an inability to gain control of their money. We believe that our podcast addresses this issue and gives people the information they need to go from money stress to money success., and with over 25 years of experience David and I believe we can be the catalyst for change in people’s lives.
Annemarie is so knowledgeable and giving in what she shares and I found our time together was so valuable in understanding firstly, the reasoning behind why we should start a podcast, what steps we had to take to start and how we could make it a profitable venture, rather than ‘just a podcast for the sake of having a podcast’.
My main ‘aha’ moments in working with Annemarie were understanding the necessity of putting a strategy in place and why this makes a world of difference to the success of a podcast, being intentional about our message and having a clear call to action in every podcast, without it sounding like a commercial, and having a Podcast Series separate to our podcast episodes that showcases our expertise in our field and compels people to want to listen and learn from what we have to share.
We’re so excited to be able to share over 25 years of experience in taking families from money stress to money success. We are passionate about what we do and believe that what we will be presenting through our podcasts will be absolutely life-changing for our listeners.
Having worked with business coaches and marketing experts in the past, I would highly recommend working with Annemarie Cross. This last 12 months has been a pivotal turning point in putting strategy behind my business, understanding and working with my own strengths and weaknesses and understanding the importance of having a vision and both short and long term goals. Annemarie’s commitment to her clients is second to none, providing informational webinars and regular Q & A sessions. She goes above and beyond and has a wealth of information from many years of experience, which she is more than willing to share.
