The Coach's Journey - build a coaching business with integrity
The Importance of Reflective Practice in Coaching
This chapter emphasizes the significance of reflective practice in coaching, encouraging listeners to allocate time for self-reflection. It shares personal experiences and practical tips, highlighting how support during the early stages of a coaching business influences one's approach to challenges.
This is the sixth and final episode in a series diving into The Coaching Business Flywheel and the fundamental parts of a sustainable coaching business. In this episode, Robbie and Ruth get to grips with the final part of the flywheel, the thing we all got into this coaching thing for: working with clients.
They share the most effective ways to make your coaching more powerful and useful for your clients and – more than that – how to make your coaching more likely to create future referrals and connections, making each client coached a seed planted that could sprout as new business at any time.
The episode is packed with ways to create more referrals: get your pens ready and start thinking about how to turn the ideas in this episode into actions you can take.
In particular, Robbie and Ruth cover:
How to use the science of deliberate practice to improve your work as a coach.
The ONE question to ask yourself to help generate more referrals from your clients.
The two most important qualities to make your coaching more impactful.
Why having a niche can be really useful as a coach.
