What to do when you are in a funk
It happens to me when I work in one spot for more than, say, three days. I suppose it’s because I have become such a reluctant road warrior these days, that when I sit in my UK apartment for three days solid, answering emails in the morning and then spending afternoons and evenings on the [...]
A third successful webinar
Day three of “Funnels, Pies and Schools – the three building blocks of a successful coaching practice” was completed yesterday. We welcomed our largest audience yet, over 20 people, to an day that had always promised “overwhelm” with the quantity of information that I wanted to share with the delegates. The training in my core [...]
Making things simpler and making clients responsible
Tuesday was a call-in day for clients – 15-minute laser coaching sessions by telephone. They are always a rich source of wisdom, emanating from the “good conversations” (see yesterday’s blog) that take place. A favourite yesterday was with a coach client who is developing a new programme for clients in the healthcare sector and was [...]
All problems exist in the absence of a good conversation
The title of this blog is a quotation from fellow coach John Niland – I first heard John say this some years ago and don’t believe there is ever a week goes by that I don’t quote John to a client or friend. Yesterday I was able to have a good conversation with Jen Haver, [...]
Another webinar completed
Working until 11.00pm local time again last night with a group of coaches from North America, the UK and Germany. Yesterday’s webinar covered our “coaching pie” – the various ways in which we deliver coaching to our clients. I shared with those attending my professional evolution – from 1994, 8 clients, a flip-chart and me [...]
Creating a passive revenue product
Busy day today. I wrote my two ezines first thing this morning – a little later than usual because of my weekend travels and yesterday’s webinar. After some professional niff naff and trivia I then welcomed Guy Levine to my Manchester apartment along with his fantastic equipment pack – and we turned my place into [...]
Team again
Well I completed the Duchy 20-miler in 3 hours and 18 minutes – not bad for a 51-year old who hasn’t been training well for a year. It was a pretty cold and grey day in Cornwall but thankfully the wind on the North Cornwall cliffs was down to a murmur and the views across [...]
Traveling man
Sorry – been traveling this week. Exeter on Thursday for a great Dental Business School board meeting with Barbara and Simon. The business is really healthy. Today I have been on a business development day and catching up with some client emails before the weekend. Sunday I will be running in the Duchy 20 – [...]
The best laid plans and Murphy’s Law
So there we are, launching the world’s first practice management webinar for coaches to 2000 ezine readers last Friday. And the people who run the shopping cart facility don’t tell us that their systems will be down over the weekend. Result? Small bouts of chaos and confusion and yours truly incandescent with frustration. Its now [...]
The world’s first global practice management webinar for coaches
Just in case you don’t receive the ezine that announces this direct – the web address is: http://www.thecoachingbusinessschool.com/newsletter/cgmar1-05.html So go take a look. After spending the weekend off-line and driving from Como, Italy to Manchester, England – I arrived home this afternoon to a plethora of emails from potential webinar attendees having difficulty registering through [...]
