OnlineBound with Elena Mutonono is a podcast for online language teachers and coaches who are tired of cramming more client hours into their day and look for ways to grow their business in a smart, lean and sustainable way.

In this podcast we explore the topics of authenticity, sustainability, values, efficiency, resilience and creativity when running an online teaching business in an oversaturated language teaching market.

We will broaden our horizons, challenge our mindset and forge our own paths amidst loud and demanding voices of scarcity and pursuit of fast profits at any cost.

Together we will build resilience as we journey into the unknown, commitment to the change we seek to make and faith in creating a better world by connecting people across cultures through teaching languages online.

    Aude Bellezanne on giving herself permission to fail and work on her own terms

    In this episode, Aude Bellezanne and I talk about the benefits of a supportive community. She shares her insights about how her mindset and approach to teaching have transformed.
    After receiving her teacher training in isolation during Covid, Aude had a lot of clients but was overwhelmed. She knew she wanted to make changes and that she needed support to do it.
    After joining the Smart Teacher's Library, she learned that she could charge more and say no without second-guessing herself. She also discovered the power of teaching asynchronously.

    Elena Mutonono on the power of reflection

    Welcome to season 7 of OnlineBound! This season, I'm excited to share a revelation that has become an integral part of my business. To succeed, we need the power of evaluation.
    This can be scary for a lot of reasons. It's much more tempting to chase dopamine hits by running from one course, or program, or coach to the next, hoping for "the answer."
    Listen in to learn the three questions I ask myself after every launch. This was a game changer that took the focus off my disappointment and helped me move forward.

Helps me make positive changes in the way I work

I’ve worked with Elena for a year now, and her podcasts are icing on the cake. I listen to every episode, take notes, and make changes in how I’m working. Episode 12 was particularly impactful for me because I was struggling with work-life balance and burnout in my first year of running a business. This episode inspired me to make changes. I created a work schedule, and I’m very strict about only working during my business hours. I enjoy morning walks before I start my day, and I’m starting to enjoy my hobbies and life again outside of work. This has helped me give my best self to my clients and the work that I care about. Thank you Elena!

Her approach works!

After two years of struggling on my own, I reluctantly started working with Elena. It wasn’t easy because the approach she teaches is really different from the university setting I was accustomed to. But my business is finally starting to gain traction, and she and her community are the main reason for that shift. I’ve tried other coaches and been disappointed. She’s the real deal!
