In this episode of The Coaching Edge, we'll talk about managing coaching client relationships, particularly when coaches feel they are done with a client.
I give listeners three common scenarios: when a coaching engagement is complete, when clients achieve their goals early, and when a client may not be a good fit. The episode highlights the importance of communication, curiosity, and offering continued support, as well as the potential for transitioning clients to group coaching or other resources.
This conversation provides practical strategies for coaches to navigate these situations effectively.

Hi coach! In this episode of The Coaching Edge, we’ll discuss the importance of goal setting and how it should be an ongoing practice. I emphasize the value of setting specific revenue goals for business success, and I’ll also introduce the concept of setting goals based on how we want to feel rather than what we want to achieve.
Reflecting on progress and achievements is an essential step in goal setting. I’ll suggest focusing on supporting specific clients and improving coaching skills. I also encourage you to take control of your personal growth outside of the business and take risks to overcome fear. Tune in to get some of my best tips about goal setting in your personal and professional life.

In this episode of The Coaching Edge, I give specific pointers and actionable tactics for coaches to make their discovery or sales calls feel easier and more natural. I emphasize the importance of being comfortable with your approach to selling and highlight the need for an intake form to gather information about potential clients.

I suggest using automated reminders and engaging in small talk at the beginning of the call to create a comfortable environment.
Additionally, I discuss the importance of understanding the client's needs, sharing personal stories, and mirroring their language. I’ll guide you on inviting the client to join, handling price discussions, addressing objections, and giving clients time to decide.Â
