Following on from a comment on an earlier post. I thought it would be easier to open a new thread here to make it more searchable as several of you asked about the process I use in Trello. I've created a 'master new client template' in Trello which goes to all my new clients before we start working together. The amount of time and back-and-forwarding it saves is massive. The aim is to give them everything they need in one place to get set up - rather than using tons of emails. It includes loads of different links to take them to the back end of my website where everything is held for them (and calendar scheduling) including: - Signable Terms - Links to book their calls - Links to my zoom room (password etc.) - Useful Guides - Free additional resources - A list of all their appointment dates - As I coach them I upload all their additional resources in their Trello dashboard too (from a master sessions template which has lots of links again to the back end of my website) so I don't have to look for everything each time, I only have to search for the odd very specific thing for them. It is then also linked back to a secure (personal to that client) Google Drive folder where they can upload documents etc. The image gives you a feel for what one can look like. I've included random ideas as examples and it's all based on a process developed by another coach which is easily adaptable. Also Trello has a FREE version which can accommodate pretty much all you need. Hope that's helpful.

This was written with being a writer in mind, but I truly believe that it speaks to us all as we look to improve ourselves and serve others more completely. What do you think? Important turning points in a writer’s career – perhaps in many kinds of career – are like these. Often, they are small, scruffy moments. They are quiet, private sparks of revelation. They don’t come often, and when they do, they may well come without fanfare, unendorsed by mentors or colleagues. They must often compete for attention with louder, seemingly more urgent demands. Sometimes what they reveal may go against the grain of prevailing wisdom. But when they come, it’s important to be able to recognise them for what they are. Or they’ll slip through your hands. – Kazuo Ishiguro, Nobel Prize in Literature Lecture (2017)

after 2 weeks on ads, I got my 1st strategy call this morning, ending with a signature program sold and payment done. The COA program is working if you stick with it. I am grateful that I have crossed the path of @Ed J C Smith. Thank you Mate for your program, it's powerful and it is exactly what I needed to set up myself.
