The Coaching Inn

Sarah Short returns to The Coaching Inn to talk with Claire about simplicity and speaking in plain English. And that marketing your coaching business doesn't have to be complicated. How do we speak about our work in a way that other people understand - and stop using jargon? Why might the endless acquisition of knowledge not be the way forward? How can you use well what you have already learned? What do we do that accidentally disempowers others? 'Simplifying your marketing looks like not being shouty' Takeaways The importance of speaking plain English in coaching and marketing The impact of jargon and how it can lead to accidental disempowerment The significance of niche and diversity in the coaching business The practical aspects of coaching and the need for simplicity in marketing The value of diversity in the coaching business and the impact of simplifying coaching Contact Sarah at The Coaching Revolution Claire at 3D   Keywords coaching, simplifying, marketing, business, plain English, jargon, disempowerment, niche, diversity, practical coaching, simplicity  

Today Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with coach Martin Carter and his daughter Sarah after he posted this on LinkedIn: "So I finally did it. Did you notice? Fatigued by the growing self-aggrandising 'role headlines' on LinkedIn, I've decided to start a movement. In truth, I absolutely know it won't be a movement; I am not a 'LinkedIn top Influencer' (insert award emoji here) nor am I a 'Thought Leader', or even 'a 'disrupter'. But I Iike to think I am honest, don't take me, my work or life too seriously and think the world would be a better place if we just all chilled a little. So I thought I'd try it. A few months ago over dinner towards the end of lockdown 1 after the kids had been working at home for a while we got onto the subject of what dad does for a living. Quick as a flash my (then) ten year old daughter said 'I know what dad does'. Obviously being at home she has heard a little of my 'life changing performance coach', 'helping you kick-ass', 'people liberator', inspiring you to live your best life', 'super-charging the real you', ' I'm just pretty awesome to be around' day-to-day work. 'So what do you think I do' I asked 'You mentally demolish people and tell them how to do a job you've never done yourself', she said before returning to her pasta."

When Claire and Judy Reith first spoke about having a chat at The Coaching Inn about Judy and her husband Adrian's new book - Act 3: The Art of Growing Older, little did we know how important it was that they had written it while their ideas were evolving.   A key message from the book is to make choices about, and have a plan for, your Act 3 years before it is too late. Adrian’s untimely death has had a huge impact on Judy's own Act 3 as she faces a future she did not choose which is so far making her even more aware of making good life choices while she can.   Some great life lessons here for coaches and every human especially anyone in Act 3. Other books we mentioned are I found my tribe by Ruth Fitzmaurice 4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman Contact judy@act3life.com   Remember to subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn wherever you access your podcasts to get every new episode as they drop.
