Nail Your Niche session with Rhonda

Inspiring your audience to enroll in private coaching isn’t at all like selling a gadget, clothing or makeup on Instagram.

Because coaching is intimate, pricey and hopefully long-term, your prospects need to TRUST YOU before they hire you.

Nurturing future ideal coaching clients is the #1 goal of all messaging, whether in podcast episodes, social posts or emails.

Emails are a strategic part of generosity marketing, which is about creating content that relates, entertains, educates and inspires your most ideal prospects to follow you and then some, to hire you.

But no single message is a one-hit-wonder. The trust building process is coordinated and meant to take time.

You will benefit from a slower sales arc because it attracts clients who are pre-sold to work with YOU, will commit to the process and won’t regret the investment.

Here's a teaser of what's in store in this teaching episode with ACC Mentor Coach, Laurie Cameron — the best coach I've ever experienced!

What do you think, Laurie, is a single word that describes the best coaching sessions with clients?

Laurie Cameron:

I think FOCUSED is a good word — because you know … there's purpose, there's meaning, there's safety — all of that. And yet, if I were to pick one, it would be focused — not just focused on what the client wants to take away, but really focused on the client. Fully focused on the client for the entire session because coaching is client-driven.

Rhonda Hess:

It also means that it has an aim.

Do you ever have performance anxiety during coaching sessions?

If you’re a new coach, that’s totally normal. With mindfulness and experience that feeling diminishes.

In my early days, I was so anxious about delivering value that I over-delivered. I felt drained instead of energized by sessions.

That’s a red flag indicating something is off and needs attention.

It took me a while to realize that being in a performative state — trying so hard to coach well — my clients weren’t relaxing into coaching and getting enough value.

It’s a circular problem. To be themselves and access their truth in sessions, coaching clients need to feel safe in your presence.

Cultivating an atmosphere of safety begins well BEFORE they hire you. It’s in your messaging and marketing. It’s on your website and in your social posts.

It’s about connection not performance.

Let’s talk about ways to cultivate trust from day 1 in your coaching business.
