Are you coachable?

Are you coachable?

Being coachable means being open to asking for and receiving feedback, looking inward at how you can move forward, and being interested in growth. You don’t take things personally or as criticism, instead, you see it as an opportunity.

You listen, “try it on,” and use feedback to examine your own performance in order to achieve what you’re committed to. It doesn’t mean you have to take everything others share with you as “truth,” it means that you’re willing to look and examine if it fits.

You are still entitled to have your own opinion, in fact, that is encouraged, particularly when it comes from a place where you’re generating insight!

Long story short, be coachable!

Who is holding you accountable?

Who is holding you accountable?

HOLD UP. This is not recycled advice. People hire coaches for strategy or advice, but also for accountability. So here are the 3 ways I keep my clients accountable when we work together:

  • At the beginning of the week or month, we set clear intentions. They let me know what they need to be held accountable for in our private group or message and I reach out to them to make sure they are on track.
  • We create S.M.A.R.T. goals. They need to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-based. 
  • We Celebrate! I believe in rewards and making sure they have a system to celebrate themselves and having a place where we can celebrate each other. It’s nothing like working towards something and knowing you have support around for your wins and when you miss the mark, someone helping to get you back on track!

I share this so that you know exactly what your investment is getting you when you hire me as your coach. So let’s meet!

4 of my Pet Peeves about Coaching

4 of my Pet Peeves about Coaching

“I’M TRIGGERED.” How often do we hear this phrase – facetiously or not? But truthfully, there are a few things about the coaching world that trigger me.

Here are some of my pet peeves:

  • When a business coach starts working with a client and tells them to just drop a digital program.

No. don’t do that!

How are you going to create a digital program when you have not launched it live and you have not received feedback from your audience on whether it will work or not. Before you go and create these digital programs, spend time learning why they would say yes and what their pain points are.

  • Another one for me is sending people direct to cart when you are just starting a service, masterclass, or any program you are creating over time.

It’s just not smart!

If it is simple like a journal or digital product, yeah go ahead and send them to checkout. Schedule at least 10 sales call first and know why they would say YES to what you are doing and why they would say NO. Then you can tweak your offer and get clarity on what to make better.

  • Don’t go straight to a high-end offer, get your foundation together. You have to be clear on who your people are, your general offer, and what they need.
  • And these get-rich-fast schemes, are not real. I cannot stand it! Again, you have to have your foundation together and your business built the right way! Slow down and take your time and build a business that you love!

You want to create something that your audience will buy and bring value!

What makes a brand?

After all, there are plenty of companies out there who know they need a brand to connect with their audience, drive profits and maintain an effective reputation. Unfortunately, only a handful of those people understand what true branding is all about.

First, Create a selection of in-depth user personas to guide your decisions.

Do your homework and find out everything you can about the people most likely to buy products and services.

  • Where do they live?
  • How old are they?
  • Which other companies do they like?

Second, A vision statement clearly communicates your company’s objectives and provides you with a crucial compass for future branding decisions.

Lastly, Have a brand story. It’s important to have a background story that your customers can get behind. Ask yourself where the idea for your product or service came from.

  • How does it help your customers?
  • What can you offer that no-one else can?

Brand Essentials: 

  • Brand Personality & Values
  • Brand Positioning
  • Brand Image
  • Brand Equity
  • Brand Message and Voice
  • Brand Purpose

Use your brand essentials correctly, and you’ll develop a strategy that helps you to sell more of your products or service, outshine your competition, and even earn the long-term loyalty of your target audience.
