November 21, 2023How to be a client centred coach & Q&A No.125
Let days for tickets to the conference this week > 20% off last few remaining tickets. Email us for discount code.

Questions;

Time; 3:15
I'm really trying to be a client-centred coach and ask as many (admittedly leading) questions as possible to help guide clients to solving their own problems.
Even though I feel like this is the best way to coach people, sometimes it feels like I'm not really helping people solve their problems in that moment
For example, I had a call with a client this week who struggles mentally to find the energy to get out of bed. We went in on her values as well as the barriers and challenges she's facing
I asked loads of questions to try and understand her better, but after the call I felt like I hadn't really helped her all the much, because we didn't really come up with anything actionable to try and change those habits
Any thoughts?
Time; 7:24
What's a quality present in PTs you work with that you see is lacking in the rest of the industry?
Time; 10:40
When changing systems and delivery of service how can you encourage existing/old clients to follow new format
Time; 12:50
How to take time off as a PT and not having to cram sessions in before your holiday / after so you are overworked. Is there a way at that you can give client more value other than just valuing your program based on an an hourly rate and how would you communicate that to a new client?
Time; 15:19
If you both were in complete charge of the FT to PT model of commercial gyms, what would that look like?
Time: 18:30
How do I incorporate a holiday policy into my client agreement? I charge per month not per week so how do I articulate that I will be taking a week off each quarter? (Hope that makes sense)
Time; 20:01
What's lined up for the post conference gig on Friday and Saturday? Need to know how many change of clothes to bring!
Time; 21:00
I think I've heard Nik say he is/was an introvert and that it took some work to go and talk to people on cruise ships. I'm very introverted too and it always takes me a lot of energy to get started on my check-ins, calls or sessions. I love what I do, but my comfort zone is behind my laptop screen and it doesn't seem to improve much with time. Do you have any advice to make this easier?
Time; 24:20
What's the most common problem coaches have that you come across? and how do you help them overcome it?
Time; 28:25
How do you prioritise when everything is a priority?
Time; 31:15
I have a few leads who come to anything that I do that is free like my Saturday bootcamp, free two week trial of weekday bootcamp - first to sign up to a freebie. I know that there is absolutely no chance of them ever working with me. One has signed up to a free taster session for my SGPT - which they will never sign up to - taking a spot that could have been used by a genuine potential client. I can't kick them off the taster session but in the future I'm thinking I will leave them off any taster session invites so that a space isn't wasted. Short-sighted or realistic?

Time; 9:28
How would you recommended tackling lack of concentration when facing the important yet tedious tasks? Regardless of how much I tell myself they’re important and need to be done, I find myself staring at the screen thinking “where the fuck do I start with this clusterfuck?!”

How do you overcome the feeling of feeling like your business isn't doing well when, you are struggling to get leads/people into your business
Time; 08:49
I sometimes struggle to get into conversations but of self-doubt: I tell myself the story that I have nothing to bring to this person, they probably know everything I could be telling them and they are just going to wonder why I'm bothering them.

October 05, 2023 How to improve goal setting with clients, so expectations and habits align.
With last week being monthly review week for the PTMA coaches - and they're 1-2-1 back and fourth this week, which means no weekly check in questions.

We thought we would dig in to a question that was asked by one of the coaches.

Supporting clients first of all set detailed goals, and then supporting them believe in the goals they have set is a hard task .. one that needs real focus and time.

As thought that process ... we manage expectations, future pace the goals into milestones ... and create real meaning behind the "thing" they came to us for.
