The Courage to Say No

What does it really take to build a sustainable, ethical, and successful coaching practice? In this powerful episode of PRIME SPACE, host Elias Scultori, MCC (  / eliasscultori  ) , sits down with executive coach and HR consultant Michelle Tajudeen, PCC (  / michelletajudeen  ) , Managing Director of MetaCC (https://www.metacc.com/) Incorporated, to explore one of the most challenging and defining moments in a coach’s journey: having the courage to say no. Michelle shares a candid story from early in her coaching career, when a lucrative corporate opportunity required her to compromise the very principles she was trained to uphold. Faced with pressure to guarantee outcomes, impose agendas, and prioritize short-term results over client autonomy, Michelle made a decision that would ultimately shape her reputation, integrity, and long-term success. Together, Elias and Michelle unpack the realities of coaching in revenue-driven environments, the risks of “voluntold” coaching, and why honoring the client’s process is non-negotiable—even when it feels financially or professionally risky. This episode is essential listening for new coaches, experienced coaches, mentor coaches, and leaders navigating the intersection of ethics, business, and authenticity. 🎧Episode Highlights • Why saying yes too quickly can cost you your integrity as a coach • The hidden dangers of outcome-driven, agenda-based coaching • What happens when coaches compromise their values—and when they don’t • How saying no led to an 8-year corporate partnership and coaching 250+ executives • Trusting intuition as a core professional competency • Building a coaching brand rooted in credibility, ethics, and authenticity ⏱️ Chapters 00:29 – Meet Michelle Tajudeen, PCC 04:06 – The biggest lesson of Michelle’s coaching journey 08:41 – The cost of compromise in coaching 09:51 – Finding the courage to say no 12:52 – How integrity created unexpected long-term success 14:47 – Reputation, trust, and coaching without compromise 17:13 – Final advice for coaches at every stage 🔑 Key Takeaway Quotes “It takes real courage to say no as a coach.” “Integrity will always cost you something upfront—but it pays dividends long term.” “Trust your intuition.
