We are naturally storytellers and listeners. We connect through stories that deliver an emotional punch. For your current coaching clients, they can deepen your relationships, increasing success. For your potential clients, they can increase your memorability and attraction. Videos that incorporate storytelling work incredibly well for this. But what if you’re camera shy? Uncomfortable with being vulnerable? What if you feel you're no good or don’t have any stories worth telling?

In this episode, I talk with Aaron Jacobs, CEO at Storied Coaching and OMH Creative about the power of stories in coaching. We discuss how stories are all around us, you just need to recognize and apply them. One of the best applications is by creating videos. It’s really not as scary as it sounds, I promise. Aaron shares the uplifting fact that making stories more impactful and memorable can be learned. He even has a free guide to help you choose the right video equipment. I urge you to give it a try. You truly can uplevel your coaching through engaging storytelling, both on camera and off.

“It’s not a talent to get good being on camera, it’s actually just a set of skills that anyone can learn.” – Aaron Jacobs

About Aaron (in his own words)…

No Risk, No New Story. No New Story, No Change.

I have completely re-written my story, stepped into a new version of my life, and now I know exactly how to help others do it as well.

I can help you create a new story for your life too. I have helped hundreds of professionals learn how to identify current stories in their life that are holding them back from reaching their full personal and professional potential. People just like you who felt burned out and stuck.

I lead an amazing team that helps businesses sell more by learning how to tell compelling stories and differentiate themselves by using the camera.

Because you should be inviting your audience to engage with you. Encouraging them to laugh. Helping them feel a connection with their own personal identity that makes their world better than before they started watching you and hearing about what you offer.

Then they become your evangelists. They help you achieve your business goals.

You can learn to tell your audience a story worth listening to. Do it. Do it now. I am happy to help.

• The value in an email list is incalculable. Unlike a feed in social media that people may miss, an email remains in their view. Recipients may not open every email you send but they are at least seeing your name, and that has an impact. But how do you build a list of potential clients?

  Marketing Strategist, Brittni Schroeder, joins me to discuss building your email list through lead magnets. She encourages us all to take the time it needs but not take too long. I have long believed that most people put off creating their lead magnet because they overthink it. But it really is just something that offers value. You probably already have something such as a piece of wisdom or help you could be offering. So, listen to this episode for inspiration, and then set to work building your list!

  “Marketing is becoming memorable.” – Brittni Schroeder

  What You’ll Learn
  • Having multiple reaches
  • The ease of a valuable lead magnet
  • Ideas to grow your email list
  • Leverage social media differently
  • Craft coordinated pop-ups
  • Pick 2 to start
  • Don’t forget to promote your freebie

  Brittni in her own words…

  I was a late bloomer and my beanpole frame couldn’t hang with most girls my age. Many a days drowning my tears in Diet Coke and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.  At the time I didn’t appreciate it, but now I look back and understand I was being taught the importance of personal development.

  I learned early that I had the ability to connect with people. I began a career as a photographer and was the Editor-In-Chief of a Photography Magazine.  I established a successful photography business. My work was featured in the Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America and I was named one of The Most Influential Photographers​ in 2016.

  When I hit my 30’s I was gifted with the 5lbs that never goes away and a mid-life crisis. I was ready and eager for a new challenge and more purpose.  I knew I needed to use my gifts and my story to teach entrepreneurs what they are capable of. I refined my skills and became certified as a life coach specializing in business coaching  and confidence. I not only give you the tools to run a successful business, but I help you manage your mind so you can maximize those tools.  I teach you how to go from good to great in your business in your life.

There are two basic types of entrepreneurs: those who have no lack of action and those who feel they cannot act until everything is in place. With either approach, there are problems. The first style can result in a lot of frantic action but little measurable growth. The second style can result in little action and a lot of indecision. So regardless of which you are, this episode is for you! 

We all know that increasing your business necessitates taking specific, appropriate actions. Knowing precisely what those actions are can be tricky but I’m here to give you some guidance. Before we begin, I want to encourage you as strongly as I can to take effective action today. Each day you should be doing the things to move your business forward, whether it is something big or something small.

• Appropriate amounts of visualization time
• Some days choose the easy button
• Find and do 3 things
• Let people in
• Step into the personae you want to be

In us all, there lies a craving to have some certainty, some measure of stability. We know, going into building a business, that there will be ups and downs. Yet, we still long for security. So when uncertainty invades our thoughts, and it will, it culminates in an overwhelming feeling of instability.

But even if you work a regular job for someone else, security is often an illusion. At least when you work for yourself, you tackle that uncertainty straight on. You can choose to embrace the “what ifs?”. And when you do, it can become a strength, rather than a weakness. How? By believing in yourself and keeping your energy high in your coaching business. To that goal, I have 5 tips for you.

• What does it mean to keep energy high?
• Tip #1: Build a 911 kit
• Tip #2: Cultivate good little habits
• Tip #3: Tune into people who think how you want to think
• Tip #4: Give attention to the wins and positives
• Tip #5: Allot space for revitalization

Business building is an ebb and flow. But it can be all too easy to fall into the thinking trap of “all or nothing” when it comes to ourselves, our success, and our business growth. In reality, growing your business is largely about your internal evolution, becoming more of who you’re meant to be, and who you want to be. That is how we each fulfill our purpose and mission.

As we work with clients, it may be apparent when they struggle with this all or nothing thinking trap. However, it can be more difficult to spot within ourselves. In this episode, I want to provide you some space, to take a look at where it’s coming up for you and how it’s impacting you. I hope with this different perspective you’ll be able to embrace new experiences in your business and not be as impacted by up and down thinking.

• Defining all or nothing thinking
  • The extremes
  • Contrasts in money thoughts
  • Perfect balance vs ditch it all
  
  
• Why it’s a problem
  • Emotional upheaval
  • The power of middle space
  • Temptation to quit
  
  
• What to do about it
  • Take note
  • Detangle your dreams from others’
  • Mitigate fear

One of the most frustrating times in business is desiring an incredible launch of a new offering but not knowing how to make it amazing. You might struggle with thoughts of “this will never work” or “I’m not where I want to be”. Those are normal discouragements… but no way are we going to hang out in “normal”. Instead, let’s use the power of acknowledgement to enjoy what is coming together and what is working for you. That will give you fuel and fire to keep pressing toward your sales goal.

In this episode, I wanted to share the recent experiences my team had with our launch of the next session of The Coaching Collective. We had huge success and I noted five key things, in particular, that made it so. As I go over them, you’ll notice that they weren’t isolated things. Everything (and everyone) working together and combining our skills, energy and momentum made our launch unparalleled. Now, you may be a solopreneur and not have a team. That’s okay. These principles still apply. So whether you’re going it alone, you have a large team, or you're somewhere in between, here are 5 tips for your best sales launch ever.

• #1: Preparing Your Audience
  • Value and connection
  • The lead-up
  • Nurturing safety
  
  
• #2: Roles and Goals
  • Clarity and quality
  • Integration
  • Defined outcomes
  
  
• #3: Accountability and Check Ins
  • Specifics in leadership and follow-through
  • Curiosity around unmet goals
  • Facilitating upleveling
  
  
• #4: Energy and Vibe
  • Core values and mission
  • Intentionality
  • Recognizing individual values
  
  
• #5: Your Relationship with Your Number
  • Frequent emotional alignment

What comes up when you think about the habit of massive action? Do negative feelings, such as overwhelm, pressure, or exhaustion rise up within you? Let’s change that! We can successfully reframe and recreate the process of massive action into an effective, positive, intentional, and powerful habit. And all this is to consistently move your business forward, remain focused, and release overworking. 

Welcome to this episode, which is the final part (Part 6) of my 6-week series: “The Big Whys”. In this mini-series, we’ve explored the concepts and reasons why coaches in The Coaching Collective thrive. As we do in The Coaching Collective program, we’ll now turn our focus on effective massive action. It is our ultimate goal to put everything we learn, and how we’ve changed to increase our coaching businesses, improve the lives of others, and craft the lives we want.

I sincerely hope you’ll join Aimée Gianni and me in the full six-month Coaching Collective program, which starts in April. Registration opens next week! (March 7, 2022.)

The passion of each of our masters within The Coaching Collective is like a hug of inspiration. As we’ve worked and collaborated together, I’ve fallen in love with how each has her own vibe.
