@Paula Mena especially if you work with teenagers and young people I guess. 👍

@Fiona O'Connor love it! Yes! The biggest challenge. the biggest change happens when you decide not to do something which you did yesterday. This is the only way to break unhealthy habits.
New coaches, a suggestion
New coaches, I'm sharing this with you because I've heard these doubts too often, and I've faced them myself. I hope these will encourage you to move forward more confidently in your coaching career. These insights are not just for the established; they're vital for you starting out: 1) Avoid Coaching for Free: • Always charge SOMETHING. This establishes a value exchange. • You'll feel more appreciated and motivated knowing you're earning. Your clients, too, will value and commit to the process more because they've invested financially. • Start with a few ‘trial’ clients where their repayment for your coaching is a testimonial used to establish credibility. Don’t stay here too long. • Coaching far too long and not being comfortable charging for services stems from feeling unworthy to charge – in this example, not charging devalues what you offer. • Seasoned coaches understand this balance of value, and it's a lesson to embrace early in your career. 2) Steer Clear of Hourly Charging: • Hourly rates aren't effective. • We cannot create value in one-off sessions (unless you have a specialized skill such as NLP or hypnosis where one or two sessions suffice) as transformation doesn’t happen overnight. • Instead create a 2-month, 3-month, or 4-package or offering or group program. • Begin with lower rates, increasing them gradually with every 4-5 clients as your confidence grows, a strategy seasoned coaches often use. • Coach 3 or 4 sessions per month for 30-60 minutes. 3) A Website Isn't a Must (initially): • Don't get stalled by the absence of a website. • Many successful coaches started with just a basic page, and some of my clients have never even visited my website. • Focus on coaching quality over online presence, just as many experienced coaches have realized. • While a website can be a good lead generator, you can build it out as you enroll and coach clients. 4) Have a Solid Contract: • Ensure you have a strong contract with clear legal boundaries. • It’s essential for both your protection and that of your clients.

Great summery. All true. The only thing is that packages do not really work in Australia. I think coaching here is still not very well understood and accepted by society. People do not want to pay so much money at once and prefer paying per session. Is anyone here from Australia? Do you have different experience?

@Elena Zanfei totally agree. But tell it to uneducated clients who don’t believe in it. Also I am just starting so I don’t have credentials and experience to back up my words. I personally wouldn’t sign up for a program that would cost me thousands of dollars with a new coach who has 3 months experience. If I will not give flexibility to my potential clients at least to be able to cancel package at any time, I will have problems finding clients. It is a reality of coaches who just started. It is different for coaches who have some experience and credibility.

Decluttering! Decluttering our house… and decluttering my mind. It is amazing how much energy you can loose just by having random things scattered around a house. Same with the mind. We tend to horde so much information and mostly negative, unnecessary thoughts in our heads. 🫠
Making it visual - my Sacred 4 tracker
Keeping myself accountable and making it super visual- I've created a flip chart tracker to track my Sacred 4 each day and to remind myself that "I'm taking radical responsibility for everything in my life"

Great idea! Love the color coding.
Neurodiverse?
Hi, I was wondering if there are any neurodiverse (aka. not neurotypical) people here. Please say Hello 🤗. Do you feel like this program has you in mind? What has your experience with coaching/self-improvement been like? Do you have recommendations of People/Tools that helped?

@Kiara Ganten during our course at ADDCA we had to create a Magnificent Me list of things we done and feel great about. People with adhd usually struggle to find much positive about themselves as they got used to hear a lot of negative about themselves. One of the great options for people who stuck with this task was asking family members, friends and coworkers to write for them anything positive and amazing about them. Very often we assume that we are burden for others based on our beliefs but you can be pleasantly surprised when you ask what they really think. People with adhd have amazing set of strength and abilities. It is a matter of finding them, recording them so you can revisit every now and then to remind yourself how special you are.
