To Have Success Coaching Your Clients Long Term What Inner Game Coaching Will They Need?

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/WCYUB)
What inner game coaching steps are necessary to have success coaching your clients in the long run?  You will need to keep them emotionally connected to you.  I have success coaching my clients to make more sales.  The inner game coaching I do with them is very important to keep them wanting me to coach them long enough to get results.  Over time we develop such a strong emotional bond and trust between us that they ask me for coaching in all areas of their life.    When we use the term “inner game coaching” we are talking about client’s beliefs, feelings and comfort zones.  There are three things your clients need to get from you to keep them as your client long term.

To Have Success Coaching Clients They Need To Feel You Value Them As an Individual

The most important thing your clients need to believe about you to have success coaching them is that you personally value them.  You cannot do effective inner game coaching if your clients believe you do not care about them.  It doesn’t matter how much you know because they won’t listen.  One way to make your client feel that you personally value them is to take good notes during your sessions.  Really listen to them and do not be “waiting to talk”.

Praising Your Clients Efforts Must Be Done to Have Success Coaching Them to Get Results

To have success coaching your clients you need to praise their efforts.  It doesn’t matter how small their actions may seem to them.  To give them inner game coaching that is only focused on what they didn’t do well will discourage them.  If your client gets no encouragement from you they will stop coaching with you.  If you make them feel like they are making progress it will motivate them to keep trying and not give up. 

If you do the first two steps discussed so far you will have success coaching your clients.  You will now need to give your clients inner game coaching on how to view their wins.  A lot of people ignore their wins and focus on their disappointments.  For your client to feel like they are making progress toward their goals you will need to teach them to celebrate their wins.  Celebrate with them over the phone on their coaching session.  Pat them on the back and tell them they did a great job.  If you do these things you will have many clients stay with you for a long time and you will have a satisfying coaching business.

Why Use Public Speaking To Learn How to Speak With Confidence In Your Life Coaching Business?

(My Original Blog Post: http://coachestrainingblog.com/becomeacoach/2009/11/why-use-public-speaking-to-learn-how-to-speak-with-confidence-in-your-life-coaching-business/)
Learning how to speak with confidence seems like a huge obstacle when you first start your life coaching business.  You may feel like you have to be the perfect coach to speak with confidence in your life coaching business.  Or like many others you may feel like people won’t listen to you if you don’t have success stories yet.   So why use public speaking as a tool to learn how to speak with confidence?

Public Speaking Will Help You Learn How to Speak With Confidence Because Public Speakers are Viewed as Experts


e

If you use public speaking to promote your life coaching business you will soon learn how to speak with confidence.  Why?  Because we all are taught that Public Speakers are experts in their field.  If the promoter says you’re an expert then you are an expert in the minds of the audience.  People love to do business with experts and public speakers are experts in their minds

If your audience views you as an expert then you will feed off their energy.  That energy will give you confidence and your audience will respond well.  Your audience is there to hear your message and they want you to succeed.   When you contact them after your speech you will hear respect for you in their voice.  That respect will make it much easier to enroll them as a client in your life coaching business.  Without public speaking your prospects will view you as a salesperson when you call them to offer a free coaching session.

You Will Learn How to Speak With Confidence by Using Public Speaking Because It Puts You Ahead of Your Competition


e

Using public speaking consistently to promote your life coaching business will put you in the top of your field.  That is true because 99% of people on the planet are too afraid of speaking in public to even try it.

The other reason you will be at the top of your field is you will have more clients.  You will be offering your free session to many people at once not just to one person at a time.  Knowing how to speak with confidence won’t be a problem for you if you commit to using public speaking to consistently grow your life coaching business.
