Are you getting your message across?
Well in the past I wasn’t.
Over the years that I’ve been coaching, several people (who hadn’t been coached by me) told me that they didn’t understand what I did. Occasionally when I’ve been feeling brave I’ve asked them what they think I do – and I’ve received some weird and wonderful answers! Clearly I wasn’t getting my message across well enough so I made some changes to address this. Job done, or so I thought…
Now, fast forward to last December and the launch of this blog. Well, to celebrate this I offered a number of free coaching sessions. I’m glad to say that these went like the proverbial hot cakes and have proved really useful for the people who took them up. Unexpectedly they also proved very useful for me, particularly for the feedback I had from one of the people I coached.
I’m paraphrasing but what they told me after the session was: “I now understand what you do. You should do this all time so people can really find out what coaching can do for them.”
Well, I’ve taken their advice and from now on I’m offering a free, 40 minute telephone coaching session for all prospective clients. This is a proper coaching session on issues that are important to you – not an extended sales pitch from me. There’s absolutely no charge for this, nor any obligation on you to sign up for a coaching programme with me. If it’s not for you that’s fine.
This gives you the chance to really find out what coaching is, the tremendous benefits it can deliver, and fundamentally if it’s something that’s right for you.
So as part of my effort to give you all a very clear explanation of what coaching is about I sat down to write a definition (If you search the web you’ll find some very worthy and wordy explanations of what coaching is about, but I prefer to keep things simple.) My definition of what I do is:
“I enable people to identify the things that are really important to them in life and take actions to turn their goals into reality.”
So if that sounds interesting get in touch with me to book your free coaching session
Best wishes
