158: TACTICAL TUESDAY: The simple but powerful (and boundaried) way to handle the "Can I pick your brain" request for Coaches and Speakers!
I'll admit it. I used to REALLY struggle with what to do with those "Can I pick your brain?" requests.
Do you receive those? Maybe it's a friend... or a former co-worker... or someone in your network.
They're probably not interested in becoming a coaching client but they reach out for help. Sure... you want to help them... but you can't be running all over town for coffees and lunches because you've got a business to grow!
So... in this episode... offer a specific strategy that I use that has been a GAME CHANGER.
Specifically... I use: https://calendly.com.
Then... I've set up a specific window of time that I call "Office Hours."
It's for two hours each Friday morning.
People can grab a 30 minute slot... and I can call them. (NOTE: I call them... they don't call me. That way I maintain control... and if they don't pick up... they miss their call and they have to schedule again.)
This allows me to say "yes" to helping the person... BUT it also allows me to put boundaries around that. And it saves me from having the run all over and be depleted at the end of the day! It also increases the perceived value of that time AND it also offers the person a great example of what it means to focus, boundary your time and STILL give back.
Yup... game changer!
Let me know what you think but also... share ideas that YOU use to boundary your time! Hit us up at [email protected].
Can't wait to hear from you!
Stay encouraged and we'll talk tomorrow!
