Claiming Your Superpowers

Broadview Coaching

I have been playing with this concept of Superpowers for almost a decade.  I first had an epiphany about this when I pointed out to my uber-talented client, Emily, that her approach to Networking was a Superpower.  Her initial response was “What?!?!” As it turns out, she didn’t think her approach was that special.  “Doesn’t everybody do it this way?”, she asked.  “It’s just common sense”.  Maybe it was to her, but for most coaches, networking is mystifying, uncomfortable and … Read more…

Creating Engaging & Meaningful Blog Posts

Broadview Coaching

How many times have you downloaded a “free gift” on someone’s website and suddenly got bombarded with a ton of salesy emails that immediately had you want to press the “unsubscribe” button? I guarantee this isn’t their goal! As one of my colleagues, Sharon, used to say “Great intention, poor strategy.” As you may imagine, I “follow” a lot of thought leaders in the business coaching world.  This helps me expand my own thinking and learning, and also really helps … Read more…

You don’t want to price yourself “out of the market” by asking for more than potential clients … Read more…

Defining Your Ideal Client is an Evolution

Broadview Coaching

I believe that one of the best ways to create a simple, leveraged coaching business is by building it on the foundation of a clearly defined ideal client, niche, and “sweet spot” within that niche. Defining your ideal client may on the surface look easy but it often can be a struggle to really pinpoint who your ideal client is. If you need some assistance in beginning this exploration, I have a number of articles on my blog to help … Read more…

Changing the Conversation can Change Everything

Broadview Coaching

I’m sure someone has told you to grow your coaching business, all you need to do is get out there and talk to people. That’s good advice as far as it goes. But it doesn’t specify the type of conversation you should have. Going out and shooting the breeze with people in your network over coffee, or worse, trying to encourage every person you know to work with you is not likely going to bring you a steady stream of … Read more…
