Products and Kits


Coaching resource – LivingMyDream.com 1

I do like to share a useful resource. So today I want to share a resource that I think will particularly appeal if you are a coach who uses visualisation, positive thinking, and gratitude in your own approach and work.

LivingMyDream

“LivingMyDream” is a company who “creates products that embody the values of creative visualization, positive thinking, and gratitude .“

If you visit their site you will see that they have a store that includes a range “from sterling silver Vision Charms to Vision Board Kits and more,”

They describes themselves as “here to support you on the path to living your dreams.” I personally think that there’s also the potential opportunity for you to use their products to support your clients living the lives of their dreams.

When I visited the site it occurred to me that apart from appealing to coaches for their own personal use that there were possibilities that you could utilise it to positively increase the impact your clients experience of your work.

Two examples that immediately spring to mind are:

1) Some coaches may love to send a new client a vision charm as a welcome gift – there’s several you could choose to personalise the start of your work together and add a pleasant surprise into your clients experience.

2) I know that when many coaches start coaching there are often many things that they feel they must do before they actually start working with real clients. The vision board kits could be exactly what some new coaches could be looking for to get started with clients immediately rather than create their own from scratch.

Have a browse round their online store and see how you can imagine using the products with your clients.

Quick question:

What’s the fastest, simplest, and most elegant way to create 6-figures in your business while being of greatest service to others?

It’s NOT selling information products, membership websites or “passive” revenue. Nor do you need a big list. (Or any list!)

The fastest way to 6-figures is to package the incredible work you do into high-end, or “Platinum style” programs that create massive transformation – for your clients, and for YOU.

That’s why I’m so excited to recommend this all-new, high-content video series from my friend, and previous guest poster, Elizabeth Purvis:

“How To Create Your First – Or Next! – 6 Figures In Record Time:
3 Insider Secrets To Creating, Marketing And Filling Lucrative High-End Programs
(Even If You Don’t Have A Big List Or Think You’re ‘Not Ready Yet’ 😉 )”

Every business has the opportunity to offer a high-end program – including yours! All you need is a deep desire to help others with your Heart Work and some practical how-to info to get started. That’s exactly what Elizabeth is sharing in these no-cost videos – check them out:

12 Days of Coaching Resources – Day 9 2

Day 9’s coaching resource is:

Maestro Conference

So what is the difference between running an event “live” in person and a teleclass?

Traditionally, teleclasses may have provided much more geographical flexibility and convenience, making it easier for attendees to participate from around the world with no travelling.

However, the technology meant that the structure of your content was restricted to being presented as one large conversation. Your delegates may or may not have been able to vocally participate but when they did share it was with the entire group, one at a time.

One giant conversation can work but you loose some of the interactivity and flexibility that live events can offer. Even with a compelling speaker realistically there can only be minimal interaction with each individual caller.

It can be far too easy for participants to multi-task whilst on the call – checking emails etc and easily get distracted from the class you have prepared. There’s also the added complication that some may not immediately be comfortable talking on a call when they know the whole group also listening.

There is now technology that will allow far more interactivity and flexibility over the phone (or Skype) so that your event is much more like having an event “live” in person.

Maestroconference allows you to have the option of having break-out groups during your call. Allowing you to divide all participants into groups of your choosing so that they can talk to each other without hearing what all the other groups are saying at the same time. You can then bring everyone back into one conversation. When in break out groups, you and any other assistants/speakers you nominate, can “walk the room” listening and participating with different groups.

This technology also allows you to ask participants to vote using their phone keypads – which as leader you can see on screen what people’s response is on a web interface and allow you to capture that information if necessary.

Video, Powerpoint and desktop sharing is currently in beta testing but is an option that that they are currently exploring so that a visual aspect can also be included in calls.

I know the first time I participated as a delegate I was immediately struck at how much more this technology allowed – and the positive benefit the added interactivity brings to the experience.

12 Days of Coaching Resources – Day 7 1

As we arrive at Day 7 of our 12 Days of coaching resources today’s is:

Time Trade

Time trade is an appointment scheduler that I personally find really easy to use. When I first started as a coach, particularly when setting up an initial chat with someone who had expressed an interest in coaching, I found that it wasn’t unusual to play email and/or phone mail tag before we could find a time that worked for us both.

I found that it has eliminated a lot of email/voice mail tag that used to go on – so I’m actually having conversations with people at a convenient time for us to both and a lot quicker than previously!

If you, like me, often talk to individuals in other parts of the world you will be familiar with working with different timezones. This scheduling system automatically detects the timezone someone is physically in and coverts the available times to show automatically in the local time for the person looking at the schedule. This cuts out either person having to manually do any maths to work out what time it will be for them – I like things that make processes easier! 🙂

Once I started using this scheduling system as opposed to manually setting up calls the conversations I’m having are with people who are showing up a lot more committed without noticeably affecting the number of conversations I’m having. This may naturally have coincided with my progression as a coach but the automatic reminder emails that go out 24 hours before an appointment certainly helps.

This system allows you to set up potential session times to offer as available times to book. If you use either outlook or google calendars this system can integrate with that so that appointments showing as an option will only appear if there is space in your schedule – if you add something else into your outlook/google calendar then time trade will adjust what is shown as available. It will also automatically add any booked appointments straight into your google/outlook calender.

This system is available as both individual, team or corporation subscriptions. My guess would be that many coaches will be interested in the individual option which at the time of writing they are offering a 30 day free trial.

12 Days of Coaching Resources – Day 3 1

Day 3 of our 12 Days of Coaching resources is:

Playing Cards For Happy Managers & Happier Employees

Today’s coaching resource is designed to assist team leaders and managers in business.

The resource is a set of playing cards with a difference. At first glance you will see that the 52 cards have the traditional clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds. Each card also contains coaching style questions following a specific theme, depending upon the suite of that card, all important in people management.

Each set consists of 52 cards, a Joker and two explanatory cards. They are currently available in English, German and Dutch, and further languages are available on request.

The design of this resource means that you have lots of flexibility about how you can use them to create enthusiastic, high-performing and engaged teams. Just some of the ways that you could use these cards:

bullet point  Pick a random card to act as a catalyst in a meeting when energy and inspiration is low

bullet point   New managers can use the cards to identify areas to strengthen and take action accordingly.

bullet point   Generate discussion points in team meetings with each member randomly selecting a card – allow the team to learn from each other and their experiences.

bullet point   A fun game in a training environment allowing enlightening discussions in a gentle manner

If you are reading this blog and have got this far through this post I suspect I don’t need to tell you the benefits of such coaching style questions or the positive impact that enthusiastic, high performing and energised teams can have for a business.
