Helen’s Monthly Biz Tip

Helen's Monthly Biz Tip

Have you ever found yourself sitting in front of a potential client, trying to keep the person engaged about what you do and how coaching can assist them?

And before you know it, you throw the 'the-coach-who-listens' out the window, and proceed to talk non-stop, for the next 20 minutes. Ugh!!

We have all been there!

So how do you overcome your infatuation with coaching and still effectively sell to a prospective client?

Here are a few steps that work successfully for me:

1. Prepare an agenda before your meeting.

2. Listen, listen, listen and let the person know you are truly interested in what they have to say.

3. Answer any questions sticking to the point and keep it short.

4. Invite them to be a client when the 'aha moment' happens.

5. Keep the meeting short.

6. Remember your prospective client, cares more about themselves than your passion for coaching.

Article: Rewire yourself!

"To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have." ~ Ken Keyes, Jr.

As human beings, we are wired to automatically focus on what we don't have, instead of thinking about all the gifts we are constantly receiving.

What is a person to do?

In my group coaching circles, I have been working with women who have joined the roles of the unemployed. At first they are relieved the horror of not knowing is over. Then comes the trauma of being displaced, feelings of failure and anxiety of never being able to find another job.

It is understandable they feel this way. Women, for most of their adult lives rise in the morning, get dressed and leave for work. Come 9:00 am and they have no place to go.

It has been suggested to rise at your regular time, get dressed and start researching job options. Who are they kidding?

I have been working with my clients to create a plan they feel comfortable implementing. By having a goal and taking small steps, builds their comfort level and sense of fulfillment.

Each person has their own needs and agenda. What will work for one person will not necessarily work for someone else.

However, here are 7 basic steps that can work for all of us:

1. Eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner

2. Wear clothes that make you feel good

3. Practice good hygiene

4. Exercise daily, even if you just take a walk around the block

5. Only focus on two or three steps a day, otherwise your steps will become overwhelming and in all probability you will not accomplish anything

6. Join a support group

7. Take a daily mini-vacation - take 10 minutes a day to do something just for you

   • Just sit in a chair and relax

   • Take a walk

   • Read a book

Be aware of the new opportunities that are presenting themselves to you daily.

I once heard a great quote: "When one door closes, it is hell waiting in the hallway, so pull up the shade and look out the window."

Good Luck!

Get Off the Diet Merry-Go-Round Thoughts

Get Off the Diet Merry-Go-Round Thoughts

Affirmation: I give myself permission to be the number one person in my life today!

Does this affirmation make you stop and think, "I can’t do that, what will others think of me?" or, "My job is to make sure everyone is happy."

Many of us were brought up with the misconception that if we remain in the background, everything will work out fine.

Truth be known, this concept is helping us destroy ourselves.

When a person takes time to treat themselves as the number one person in their life, changes start happening. It has been proven over and over again when focusing on creating a healthy lifestyle we start to feel better about ourselves. Once this feeling is evident our self-esteem improves and miracles start to happen. We lose weight, feel healthier and people start treating us with more respect.

Now it is Your Turn!

How are you treating yourself as the number one person in your life? Has this change, made you happier. Please send me an email at helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net or leave them on the comment section of Love Yourself - IT MATTERS! Blog.
