Unless coaches are your target market, stop asking them what they think of your offfer/website/freebie. Ask the people that you want to help DIRECTLY. A Conversation Project will give you help you do this.

I challenge you to have 30 coaching conversations with 30 different people (within whatever market you might be considering!) to learn more about what they need, want, dream about, what problems they have and how they explain their lives in their own words. Notice what you're inspired by, drawn to, and what you can create with your coaching tools in response to what you learn.

You can say yes, no, or renegotiate.

Sharing a bit of my philosophy and approach to Discovery Calls through 5 "tips". This is by no means a rulebook or set of steps for everyone to follow - take what feels right, leave on the table what you know isn't meant for you.

1. Explore Fit

2. Be of service

3. Let them talk.

4. Assess alignment.

5. Leave details until the end.

Bonus #6. Test the Yes.

The more I listen to other teachers try to tell you how to build a coaching practice, the more I realize, "but that's just the right way for how THEY like to work - it won't be a fit for everyone!!" I hope today's episode helps you relax a bit in to the possibility that there IS no one right way to be on this journey, but there is a right way for YOU. Get clear on how you like to work, and everything becomes easier and more aligned.
