When you can deliver epic coaching sessions to every one of your clients, word will spread.<\/p>\n
Even in this over-connected, complex world of 24-hour internet, social media, and multiple messaging tools and apps, old-fashioned word-of-mouth is the most powerful way to build a successful coaching<\/a> practice.<\/p>\n It is the most reliable way to gain referrals and to create an ever-growing tribe of raving fans and repeat clients.<\/p>\n Here are the strategies and elements you need to have in your coaching session structure<\/a> so you can consistently deliver unforgettable coaching sessions that will skyrocket your success and seal your reputation as a rockstar coach.<\/p>\n Even experienced coaches sometimes miss this one\u2026<\/p>\n Always remember to set outcomes for each session before you begin.<\/p>\n You could start by asking your client a simple question like, \u201cWhat do you want to work on today?\u201d <\/em>or “What’s on your mind right now?”<\/em><\/p>\n If this isn\u2019t your client\u2019s first coaching call or if they\u2019ve purchased a series of sessions from you or they\u2019re part of a long-term mastermind, make sure you check in on their progress and task list from the last session you had together.<\/p>\n This creates continuity and connection between one session and the next, and both you and your client will be able to track improvements, achievements, and results over time.<\/p>\n A truly transformational coaching session<\/a> requires high levels of energy, so make sure you are aware of your client\u2019s energy and focus throughout the session.<\/p>\n If you notice a dip in energy or lack of motivation, introduce a \u201cpattern interrupt\u201d that will boost enthusiasm and attention.<\/p>\n A pattern interrupt is a neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)\u00a0tool that can be used to refocus the mind.<\/p>\n This could be anything you say or do to create a quick distraction before you guide your client back to the discussion at hand.<\/p>\n In my experience, an unexpected joke is a powerful pattern interrupt. Humor goes a long way to create the kind of disruption that\u2019s needed to refresh and refocus your client\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n If jokes aren\u2019t your thing, you can rely on physical movement to achieve the same results. Some coaches have their clients run on the spot or do jumping jacks.<\/p>\n Find what works for individual clients and use a pattern interrupt whenever you need to.<\/p>\n You already know that you need to help your client recognize the steps they need to take to achieve their goals, but don\u2019t forget to address the obstacles (real or perceived) that stand in the way.<\/p>\n Make sure you spare some time in your coaching session structure to discuss these obstacles and challenges with your client, and do this in every single session.<\/p>\n Help them identify every obstacle or challenge that your clients think they have ahead of them, then help them find solutions to demolish each one.<\/p>\n This will give your clients the confidence and tools they need to overcome resistance, procrastination, and all of the other issues that arise when they\u2019re going for their goals.<\/p>\n As you close in on the end of a session, start to tie everything together and go over 2 or 3 ideal outcomes that your client wants.<\/p>\n Have them identify the important takeaways and then work with them to create a list of goals that they\u2019re planning to achieve before the next session. This will create continuity.<\/p>\n It will also create accountability. Don\u2019t be afraid to drive down into specifics with this.<\/p>\n Ask your client,\u00a0\u201cHow will you hold yourself accountable to these actions and goals, and how can I help you in this area?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Never underestimate the power of a coaching session structure, and never bring anything less than your A-game every time you work with a client.<\/p>\n The world\u2019s best coaches never stop up-leveling their ability to conduct a session, and neither should you.<\/p>\n An epic coaching session<\/a> structure is the key to your success as a coach, and when you are open to ongoing improvement\u2026<\/p>\n It won\u2019t be long before you\u2019ll be recognized as a world-class coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Coaching session structure strategies to deliver unforgettable coaching sessions that will skyrocket your reputation as a master coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":29101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","tve_updated_post":" Fundamentals count - always - especially when it comes down to a solid coaching session structure.<\/p> No matter how far you\u2019ve come and how many coaching hours you\u2019ve clocked at this time, your success \u2014 not to mention your reputation as a coach \u2014 is related to your ability to consistently run transformational coaching<\/a> sessions that create results.<\/p> When you can deliver epic coaching sessions to every one of your clients, word will spread.<\/p> Even in this over-connected, complex world of 24-hour internet, social media and multiple messaging tools and apps, old-fashioned word-of-mouth is the most powerful way to build a successful coaching<\/a> practice.<\/p> It is the most reliable way to gain referrals and to create an ever-growing tribe of raving fans and repeat clients.<\/p> Here are the strategies and elements you need to have in your coaching session structure<\/a> so you can consistently deliver unforgettable coaching sessions that will skyrocket your success and seal your reputation as a rockstar coach.<\/p> Even experienced coaches sometimes miss this one\u2026<\/p> Always remember to set outcomes for each session before you begin.<\/p> You could start by asking your client a simple question like, \u201cWhat do you want to work on today?\u201d <\/em>or \"What's on your mind right now?\"<\/em><\/p> If this isn\u2019t your client\u2019s first coaching call or if they\u2019ve purchased a series of sessions from you or they\u2019re part of a long-term mastermind, make sure you check in on their progress and task list from the last session you had together.<\/p> This creates continuity and connection between one session and the next, and both you and your client will be able to track improvements, achievements and results over time.<\/p> A truly transformational coaching session<\/a> requires high levels of energy, so make sure you are aware of your client\u2019s energy and focus throughout the session.<\/p> If you notice a dip in energy or lack of motivation, introduce a \u201cpattern interrupt\u201d that will boost enthusiasm and attention.<\/p> A pattern interrupt is a Neuro Linguistic Programming<\/a> - also known as NLP - tool that can be used to refocus the mind.<\/p> This could be anything you say or do to create a quick distraction before you guide your client back to the discussion at hand.<\/p> In my experience, an unexpected joke is a powerful pattern interrupt.
