We had a chance to catch up with Deirdre Beacham talking about how speaking has transformed her coaching business. And interestingly enough she gets a lot of her free speaking from a source that you might definitely be aware of but certainly something that I didn't consider when it comes to getting deals. Some good stuff.

What's the secret ingredient to generating more referrals? Something that's been staring you right in the face the entire time.

What's the one thing you've done to be successful as a coach? That's a question I get asked a fair amount of times and after 20 plus years of being a speaker in a coach here's my answer.

As someone who's been a coach since 2001 I've seen a lot of different advice and techniques that people are saying you need to do to be successful. But here's one of my personal secrets for getting higher paying clients without being pushy or salesy.

We all know that referrals are the lifeblood of our coaching practice. But what can we do to proactively generate those referrals on a consistent basis? Tune in as popular speaker and best-selling author Brian Hilliard talks about a couple of different things that you might want to think about doing in that regard.

Do you want a super simple secret for attracting more paying clients? Of course we all do! Here's a quick hitter from popular speaker and best-selling author Brian Hilliard on how to do exactly that.

As someone who's written 8 books myself, people sometimes ask me if I think THEM writing their first book is a big deal. And while it's NOT the entire end of the world not to have a book, I really do think that if you're going to have a serious conversation around speaking and being a top flight coach...then HAVING a book makes a lot easier.

So with that said, we had a chance to catch up with Charlotte Booth who specializes in showing people how to do exactly that - start and finish - their very first business book. :)

Sometimes people ask me what are some good ideas for getting paying clients and setting themselves up for success from a paid presentation. And here's something that I came up with a client friend of mine Paul Newton out in the UK.

We had a chance to catch up with Shelia Malcom, Life Coach in the Atlanta, GA area, as we talked about what it takes to bounce back from business adversity.

Because as a Coach, even though we "know" a lot of this stuff, being to apply it to our own situation / business is huge...and Shelia covered that to perfection. :)
