I was doing an online masterclass last night about the “commercial” aspects of growing your coaching practice, and I ended up doing a live coaching demo with a client called John. I’m guessing you can relate to what John said he wanted. Here it is…
“For me, being comfortable in opening conversations and being grounded and available to serve people in those conversations so that things naturally grow from there where maybe if it’s appropriate a longer term association could grow from there.”
John’s a coach, and (as you’ll hear), it turned out that he recognises something incredibly important… that coaching clients come from CONVERSATIONS, so he wanted a shift in that area. And boy, did he ever get one!
I’ve clipped the audio for you so YOU can tune in and listen to how the coaching session unfolded live (it only took 20 minutes). Here are some of the things you’re going to be hearing…
– I structured this brief session to include some of the same elements I use when I’m talking with a prospective client (these are things YOU’LL be able to use too once you get a feel for them)…
– You’ll hear the things that make it so you and the client don’t have your heads clogged up with agendas and packages – that way you AND your client can focus on enjoying the interaction…
– You’ll also get to see the impact that a profound insight into what you’ve ALREADY got going for you can free your mind and make it much easier to serve your clients, and sign them up for profoundly transformational experiences (the kind of things people are willing to pay ‘high-end’ for)…

As you’re going to hear, John had a profound insight during this session… a shift that’s going to have a massive impact for him moving forwards. That kind of shift in understanding is available to everyone, including YOU, so I hope you enjoy listening to the session.
Big love,
Jamie
PS. I’m looking for a small group of very specific people for a new pilot programme I’m putting together for the new year. Here’s what I’m looking for:

- You have space in your practice to work with at least one longer term contract client, starting in February
- You’re an enthusiastic, friendly people-person
- You have a coachable spirit, and are willing to step out of your comfort zone if necessary, and

If that’s you, then just send an email to info@jamiesmart.com, and let me know where you’re located and a little about yourself (if you don’t know what to tell me about, look at the list above for inspiration). Make the subject line “Project Glasswing”. I’ll be choosing people in the next couple of weeks. Talk to you soon! J
