Using Proven Systems, Customized to You and Your Business, to Ensure Your Thriving Business
Many coaches resist putting marketing, internet marketing and sales systems and processes into their businesses.
My Own Coaching Transformation,
The Miracle of Commitment
For more than a year now, I have been engaged in an intense learning process around creating my life and business rather than reacting to it.
I have been working with my coach, Jeff, to move through my many forms of resistance in order to keep my commitments and do what I say I am going to do.
Let me tell you, I had no idea how many tricks I had up my sleeve to keep me from allowing my Light to shine more fully!
As an experiential learner, I have at the same time been supporting my courageous clients in moving though their tricky forms of resistance, even when I could barely catch a glimpse of my own! It hasn't always been pretty, but we've all been making some amazing progress.
I even wrote an entire book on this subject to help get it in my bones. The book is going into layout this week!
As the book goes into layout, I have been laid out! Yesterday, after a dark night, I had a breakthrough.
I can't wait to share it with you because it could facilitate a miracle for you, allowing you to facilitate miracles with your clients!
You Are the Best, Most Natural Solution
to Your Clients' Problem
Potential clients become clients when they recognize you offer the solution to their most pressing problems. Learn how to clearly communicate your invaluable coaching solutions . . .
Insidious White Lies, Subterfuge and Sabotage
After recently having a business etiquette consultant tell me that, "telling little white lies is unavoidable," I realized that we as coaches need to be crystal-clear about seemingly small things like a "little white lie."
Where Are the Paying Clients?
When I hear the same thing several times in a short period of time, I know it's time for a great roundtable discussion! Let's answer this question once and for all!!! Don't miss opportunity - the answers may stun you . . .
Love Yourself, Love the Person in Front of You, Sign Up Clients
When we love ourselves deeply and unconditionally, we naturally love others deeply and unconditionally. When we treat our own growth areas with kindness and compassion, we have the capacity to treat the growth areas in others with kindness and compassion. If we are impatient, harsh and critical with ourselves, we can only be impatient, harsh and critical with others. Our belief in ourselves and our own internal conversation with ourselves is one of the most crucial factors in whether or not we sign up coaching clients.
Your Thriving Business:
Creator/Owner vs Victim/Reactor
Most of us have not understood the immense power of actually living from the knowing that we are Creators. At this very moment, our lives and businesses are our creations based on our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions as Divine Creators who do, in fact, constantly create. With free will, we get to create whatever we choose. If we don’t consciously choose, we create from our early human programming that tells us something is wrong with us, that we are missing something. So guess what – we create ourselves as missing something. Often times, many things!
Your Thriving Business:
Committed or Considering?
I have met many coaches who started businesses, yet were far from committed. They didn’t like to sell. They didn’t want to sell. They didn’t want to learn how to sell. They didn’t know how to hire someone to sell for them. They didn’t think they should even have to sell. Join this provocative conversation about the power of committing . . .
Creating an Internal Commitment that Draws Clients to You
Last year, I had the priviledge of being coached by Stephen McGhee who is coached by Steve Hardison, a master of evoking powerful internal commitments from his clients and then supporting them in unfolding miraculous transformation in themselves and their coaching clients. Join me, Ann Strong, instigator and founder of Thriving Coaches, to learn how committing to my own sacred internal commitment has grown my business and the miracles I've witnesses as Steve and Stephen have coached others . . .
Vacationing Your Way to More Clients
One of my clients goes to parties to meet her clients. Another is moving to her dream location in the Colorado mountains. Yet another is staying home with her school-age children. I take off 16 weeks/year and enjoy walks and practice yoga during my work days. While it may seem counter-intuitive, you too can vacation your way to more clients!
Your Very Best Way to Grow Your Biz
Speaking, writing, networking, social media, direct outreach, asking for referrals – all tried and true methods. Offering a potential client a life-changing experience they’ve never had before – little known, highly effective method. We will explore each of these and how to determine precisely and specifically which ones (two or three max) will be most effective for you and your business.
Why Do Clients REALLY Sign Up for Coaching?
For a potential client to sign up and become a paying client, three key ingredients must line up for them. If even one of them is missing, they will not hire you. Join this demystifying, digging-deep roundtable to learn how to help potential clients quickly and easily discern if all three ingredients are present and what to do if they aren't.
Enrolling Clients Too Hard?
If you feel frustrated with your client enrollment process, you’re over-efforting. I know this challenge from the inside – that was me last year. Determined to get back to ease, I hired a new coach and 2010 has been my best year ever!
Who's Draining You?
When we become willing to notice whom in our personal and professional lives most drains our energy, we hold a key to greater success in enrolling and coaching clients!
Learn how to transform a draining relationship, sign up more clients and coach your current clients more deeply!
Please Less, Serve More to Sign Up More Clients
If you commit to practicing and embodying Pleasing Less and Serving More, you will transform as a coach (And, of course, as a human being . . .) and facilitate transformation for your clients!
