If you’ve spent months building the curiosity muscle, how do you answer when asked, “So, what do you do?” The quiet skills that make you a great coach can work against you when it comes to marketing. Meg Rentschler shares a candid confession about her early years as a coach, when she found herself rambling, hedging, and accidentally coaching people at dinner parties. She introduces the “two rooms” of a coaching career and explains the main struggle that new coaches face. You’ll discover that what looks like a confidence problem is usually a clarity problem, and you’ll learn a doable exercise to use right now. Join us!
Show Highlights:
- Meg’s confession about her early years of coaching
- What successful marketing requires
- The two rooms: your coaching room and your marketing room (We can’t bring “room-one” furniture into “room-two.”)
- Building the curiosity muscle can seem like more of a struggle than building the business-building muscle.
- What I KNOW to be true about business building
- It’s NOT a confidence problem; it’s a clarity problem! (The wrong skillset in the wrong room makes it seem like we aren’t “cut out” for this profession.)
- One small, doable step to take right now: Try this exercise. Finish this sentence: “Here’s something I know to be true about the people I work with . . .” (State the belief plainly, without “coach speak.”)
- The facts: Curiosity makes a better leader than expertise. Presence beats performance, every time.
- Your assignment from Meg: Pick one belief you know to be true about the people you serve, say it aloud, and write it down. Say it once publicly this week in some capacity.
