1. CREATE AN AMAZING PROFILE


The secret to geNng clients online is to write a profile that stands out.

This will help you stand out in searches, greatly increasing your chances of being found.

b) Make it compelling
Make your profile rich, compelling and true to your own voice.

c) Upload a professional high quality photo


An image is worth a thousand words. It is 100% worth it to invest in a high quality studio photograph for your profile picture.
A snapshot just won't cut it in the eyes of clients. Make sure your image shows you looking professional and at your best.
Coaches with professional photos get 40% more inquiries.

2. SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENTS USING OUR ONLINE COACHING


SYSTEM
Verified coaching hours are the key to geing new clients.
Every Hme you schedule with a client through our online coaching system, whether it's for private coaching, online coaching,

directory, and the niche directory pages. It is also a very common search filter applied by clients when sorHng through
coaches.
Coaches with verified coaching hours get 60% more inquiries.

Any current client can also offer you a recommendaHon, which also looks fantasHc on your profile, and is another way
potenHal clients can filter coaches to find the best.

3. ASK YOUR PAST AND CURRENT CLIENTS TO LEAVE YOU REVIEWS


ProspecHve clients love to hear what other people have to say about you and what they have achieved by coaching with you.
This helps them connect with you and feel you can help them with similar issues in their own lives.
Just give your current and past clients your profile URL and ask them to leave you a review. It will only take a minute, and will
seriously boost your profile, helping you aVract new clients.
Nowadays people are very used to leaving reviews online for services they recommend, so don't be shy. They don't have to
sign up, so it's a quick and easy process. Not only will potenHal clients be much more inclined to make contact, but your
profile will show up higher in the directory the more reviews you have!

4. SUBMIT VIDEOS, ARTICLES AND TIPS TO POSITION YOURSELF AS


AN EXPERT
One of the best ways to aVract clients is by submiNng guest arHcles, videos and Hps to posiHon yourself as an expert in your
niche.

C. COACHING PLANS
WHY SHOULD I USE COACHING PLANS WITH MY CLIENTS?
When you're coaching your clients, you want to set goals, keep your client focused, demonstrate the power of coaching, and
track progress. Using coaching plans with your clients help you to do all of these things.
1. The Coaching Plan. By compleHng a coaching plan before a session, your client will be able to talk about their
accomplishments and challenges since your last appointment together, and their prioriHes for the coming session.
This lets you focus in very directly during your coaching session on the areas that need work, leNng you keep your
coaching sharp and to the point. Coaching plans are the best tool for keeping your coaching sessions on track,
keeping the big picture in mind, and keeping your clients moHvated and moving toward their goals.
2. The Follow-up. Aner your session together, by compleHng a Follow-up, your client will be able to commit in wriHng
to the goals and acHon items you have discussed together. This keeps them on track and moHvated to succeed. Pair
your client's Follow-up with goals, homework assignments, and journaling that you assign for the client to follow
through on these commitments. In their follow-up, clients can also ask any quesHons they may have that weren't
addressed, and give you valuable feedback about the session. You can also ask your client to reflect on their greatest
insight from your session. This allows them to conHnually see the power of coaching in their lives.
You can comment on any of your client's responses to both the plan and follow-up to keep coaching alive, interacHve and
dynamic.
For online coaching, the process is similar. Your online coaching clients will submit Coaching Progress Reports at agreed upon
intervals, answering the same types of focusing quesHons. Since there are no coaching calls in between reports, Coaching
plasn are even more central to your coaching together. You can comment on your client's answers and they can comment
back, allowing for a deep online interacHve presence in their lives. Gear the assignment of your other coaching tools to your
client's answers.
Rather than depending on the cumbersome process of email, the Coaching management area of your dashboard and your
client's Coaching Pad will make the process of submiNng, reading and commenHng on their Coaching plans flow seamlessly.
You can of course customize the coaching plan your clients will receive on their dashboard in any way you want, according to
your own coaching preferences.

they may encounter. Doing so you'll be able to refresh your memory and stay on top of your client's progress.

coaching tools you'd like to assign or plan the next session.

Prefill func\on

achieve their aims, and to create a clear, acHonable path to get there.

HOW DO I USE GOALS?


Goal tracking is easy and enjoyable. Either you or your client can set goals. If you want to set a goal, all you need to do is

arranged in chronological order leading up to the goal target date.
You can add as many milestones as you like—simply click Add
addiHonal milestone.

your goal.

You can also assign goals (and any other tools) from the Appointments and Coaching Notes page, under the entry for that

client's progress.

38

iii. ACTION ITEMS
WHY USE ACTION ITEMS IN MY COACHING?
The key benefit of coaching is in helping clients to create new strategies, behaviors and perspecHves. Asking your client to
take acHon is criHcal in this process, and creaHng acHon items is the perfect way to make taking acHon concrete for your
client. Once your client commits to taking acHon during your session together, either you or your client can create that acHon
item.
Your clients will report on their progress, creaHng entries you can view and comment on. This creates accountability, giving
clients the push they need to follow through on their commitments and take acHon towards reaching their goals. AcHon
items have been shown to improve client commitment to their goals. If clients commit to a task, they will have more of an
investment in their coaching outcomes.

HOW DO I USE ACTION ITEMS?


It's easy to get your clients to follow through on their acHon steps. All you need to do is create an acHon item and assign it to
your client. AlternaHvely, your client can do so from their own Coaching Pad dashboard. Your client will be able to post
reports about their homework progress (either private or shared). You will be able to comment on any entries. Your client can
have as many homework assignments going at one Hme as you like, and conHnue to work towards them for as long as they
choose.

create addiHonal categories at any Hme by typing into the field marked Category.

iv. ASSESSMENTS AND FORMS
WHY USE ASSESSMENTS IN MY COACHING?
Gather informaHon about where your clients are and where they would like to be. Assessments take a reading of the current
terrain—where your clients are at right now. They also allow you to plot a clear plan of acHon in your coaching to see where
your clients want to be and how you can help them get there.
You should use forms and assessments throughout your enHre coaching relaHonship. When first geNng to know a client,
assessments can be used to plot out a variety of areas, such as a client's values, their goals for the next six months or their
personal mission statement. You can use these to guide your coaching work together.
Along your coaching path, you should conHnue to administer assessments, targeted towards parHcular acHon items. For
instance, if your client is struggling with finding a balance between work and life, you might want to set a Value clarificaHon
assessment to help them figure out where their values lie and if they are aligned with their current lifestyle. If a client is
struggling with stress from having too much to do, you could create a PrioriHes and Time management assessment which
charts where they spend the majority of their Hme, and whether it is aligned with their values and prioriHes.

E. ONLINE COACHING
WHY SHOULD I OFFER ONLINE COACHING?
Online coaching is growing market. Offering online coaching opens up your repertoire and is appealing to a demographic who
wants accountability and moHvaHon but prefers an online engagement style.
Online coaching is a great way to expand your services. You can cater to people who feel they are too busy for live coaching,
like the anonymity, require a lower price point, or simply are more comfortable using computers. You can coach more people
in less Hme, meaning you can offer your services to a greater range of people.
Online coaching is perfectly suited to your dashboard. The system is set up so that you can assign a range of coaching tools,
receive feedback from your clients, and comment back, engaging in an ongoing and sHmulaHng online coaching process.

HOW DO I CONDUCT COACHING ONLINE?


Online coaching is similar to coaching with live interacHon, except everything is done online. So instead of making
appointments to talk to your clients, you set up a regularly scheduled day when they submit a coaching progress report to
you. A coaching progress report is similar to the Coaching Plan and Follow-up that your offline clients complete, and asks your
online clients about their successes, challenges, acHon items and goals since the last Hme they reported progress to you. You
can then respond to each answer by clicking Comment.
This is where you can do your coaching work, asking powerful quesHons and helping to move your client forward towards
their goals. Your client can respond in turn, and you can have a meaningful coaching exchange, completely online.
In between coaching progress days, you can use all the other coaching tools to further their coaching progress. Assign
homework and acHon items to move your client forward; get your client journaling about issues that come up during your
regular coaching work; assign assessments to take a reading of where they are and where they want to be; set goals in
conjuncHon with your client to help them reach success; create and make available further resources; request feedback to
calibrate your coaching and target it to what your client needs.
Online coaching is a simple, effecHve way of helping clients, and is easily administered using your dashboard tools.

HOW DO I OFFER ONLINE COACHING IN MY CATALOG?


It's easy to engage in online coaching with your clients using your dashboard tools.

Crea\ng an online coaching offering

F. GROUP COACHING
WHY SHOULD I OFFER GROUP COACHING?
Group coaching is a terrific way to expand your repertoire and reach more clients. You can coach more people for a lower
price point with group coaching, making it an excellent way to reach those who might find private coaching too costly. You
can also offer online group coaching, which allows you to save even more Hme.

offer group coaching calls, or eliminate live interacHon in favour of online delivery.
To deliver group coaching using your dashboard, you just need to create a course and use the Course Management system.
Whereas Coaching Management facilitates interacHon between you and one other client, Course Management allows you to
interact with mulHple clients, to facilitate a group coaching experience.
You can do everything with Course Management that you currently do with Coaching Management, including assigning all the
coaching tools. You can also create HTML rich content called E-Modules that are delivered automaHcally to your course
members.

A. HOW COURSES WORK
WHY SHOULD I OFFER COURSES?
Group coaching
Courses are a great way to offer your coaching services. You can use them to facilitate group coaching, allowing you to offer
your services to a greater group of people, at a different price point. Group coaching lets you reach a larger audience, and
also allows your course members to interact with each other, creaHng a rich, dynamic coaching experience for all. Offer group
coaching by creaHng one or more courses. Your group coaching can take place completely online, or integrate tradiHonal live
interacHon through group coaching calls.

Courses as informa\on products


You can also offer courses as a form of informaHon product, allowing you to earn a passive income. Just think of a topic that
you know about, and break it up into several chunks, or “modules.” Create these digital modules, or “E-Modules,” easily from
your dashboard, and choose a schedule for delivery. Now your course is ready to go, and anyone show signs up will
automaHcally be delivered your content in a modular fashion, along with any coaching tools you have assigned. Offer your
courses sequenHally, allowing course members to join when it suits them and work through your material at their own pace.
Feel free to experiment with the range of subject areas available. The possibiliHes are endless. Publish arHcles on the same
topics, linking to your course, to be people interested in you and learning more from you.

Coach training
Consider offering training for those wanHng to become coaches, or coaches needing to update their skills for accreditaHon.
You can easily offer courses that will meet the InternaHonal Coach FederaHon’s criteria by including live coaching calls.

HOW DO COURSES WORK?


It’s easy to expand your repertoire and offer group coaching, courses or coach training. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Add a course to your catalog.

2. Create the content for your course and schedule your course sessions. If this is group coaching, you might want to
offer group coaching calls. If it’s a self contained course, you can create HTML rich material for your course called E-
Modules that will be delivered to your course members in modules.

3. Invite clients to join your course. Others will find it using in the Shop based on the descripHon you wrote when
creaHng your course, so make it sound as enHcing as possible. When clients buy your course, you’ll be noHfied. Each
new course member will receive your welcome material and agreement. You can tailor these for each course, or use
your default welcome package.

4. When the course starts, clients will access the course content from their dashboard. E-modules and coaching call
access details will be delivered based on the course schedule.

5. You can assign any other course tools in any of your courses, to create an interacHve and dynamic experience for
your clients.

C. COURSE SESSIONS: E-MODULES AND COACHING
CALLS
i. INTRODUCING COURSE SESSIONS
WHAT ARE COURSE SESSIONS?
Sessions are the heart of your course. Your course will generally be organized around course material delivered in modular
format, a series of scheduled group coaching calls, or or both.
• Course content delivered in a modular fashion is organized as a series of electronic modules, or E-Modules. You can
create these from your dashboard, and include text, images, audio and video. You can also assign any of your
coaching tools to go along with each module. E-modules are delivered automaHcally to your course members based
on the schedule you choose.
• Coaching calls can be scheduled as well. Your course members will be alerted when and how to access these calls.
You can assign coaching tools to complement your coaching calls.

WHAT ARE E-MODULES?


E-modules consist of electronic session content that you can make available to your clients from their dashboard. An E-
module can include any or all of the following:
• HTML rich content viewable by your course members which can incorporate text, images, tables, links, and anything
else you would include on a webpage.
• Uploaded documents and audio recordings.
• Embedded videos.
• Homework, journal assignments, goals or assessments you have assigned.
Your course members will view the E-Module content from their dashboard on the date it becomes available according to the
schedule you have set.

WHAT ARE COURSE COACHING CALLS?


Courses can incorporate group coaching calls easily. If you are conducHng group coaching, you will probably have regular
coaching calls, unless the coaching is completely online. Other types of courses might also include coaching calls, as an
alternate way to deliver course material.

How do I provide access details for coaching calls to my course members?


There are a variety of services online that will allow you to make coaching calls or webinars available to a group of people.
Convey the details your course members need to access these calls in one of two ways:

75

www.lifecoachhub.com
1. If the access details for all your group coaching calls remain the same, you can include these details on the Add
course page in the secHon called Coaching call procedure. This informaHon is not made public, but will only be
viewable by registered course members.


2. If the access details change for each call, enter the specific details for each call using the Sessions page in Course
management. Click on Course Management, under Courses & Coaching. Click on your course name and then select
Sessions from the len hand menu.

Introductory Module, just choose a Htle and write a short descripHon. You’ll be able to create the content for this and all
other E-Modules from Course management aner the course is created.

SCHEDULING E-MODULES

Goals are a great way to get your course members fired up about achieving success, and moHvated towards pursuing their
aims. In group coaching, set goals much as you would in individual coaching, to help your clients close the gap between
where they are and where they want to be. In other kinds of courses, goals can be equally helpful in aiding your course

there.

iv. ASSESSMENTS AND FORMS
WHY USE ASSESSMENTS IN MY COURSES?
You can use assessments in your courses to take a reading of where your course members are at, and unearth areas for
growth and change. Similar to working with someone individually, you can administer assessments over the span your course.
At the start of the course, you can gather informaHon about where your course members are at currently. You can tailor your
course depending on this reading.
Throughout the course, you can administer forms as either a self-assessment tool, or a way for you to deepen your course
work. For instance, in a course on Stress Management, you might want to create and administer a PrioriHes and Time
management assessment which allows course members to chart where they spend the majority of their Hme, and whether it
is aligned with their values and prioriHes. You could then link this to other coaching tools, such as asking them to journal
about what they have discovered, or take acHon in some way.
Assessments and forms are valuable in running your courses because they allow your course members to assess themselves,
measure their own progress, and thus become a beVer partner towards their own success.

SUBMIT AN ARTICLE OR A TIP

WRITING POPULAR ARTICLES


How do I write popular and relevant ar\cles to help show off my coaching exper\se?
ArHcles on Life Coach Hub are all about giving clients and prospecHve clients a feel for what coaching is by providing them
with coaching Hps and coaching acHon items to work on. There are a number of coaching categories you can write about,
depending on your niche areas of specialty, in both business and personal coaching. 

Here are some Hps to making your arHcles highly readable and shareable. The more visits you get and links you receive to
your arHcles, the more visible and credible you will appear as a coach. This will allow you to aVract a following and build your
client base for your various products and services.
• ArHcles have the general spirit of being "coaching Hps from an expert coach."
• Choose a great, snappy Htle that makes people want to read more.
• It’s a good idea to use headings and bullet points in your arHcles. This makes them more readable and interesHng.
• Choose topics people really want to read about, share, and link to, and make the arHcles lively and catchy.
• It’s great to show coaching "in acHon" by incorporaHng coaching quesHons within your wriHng, and asking your
readers to take acHon. Think of wriHng as though you were speaking directly to your clients—what would you say to
them?
• End your arHcles by asking your readers a powerful quesHon, or asking them to commit to an acHon step. This allows
prospecHve clients to see how coaching can help create moHvaHon and accountability in their lives. Encourage them
to report on their experiences in the comments secHon, and then comment back, creaHng a coaching dialogue that
can easily turn into a purchase of coaching with you or commitment to try out a free iniHal consultaHon.

Gaining a following
Your arHcles will be listed in your ArHcle Summary page, linked to your profile. This is your own personal blog space. Think
about craning series of arHcles that generate a following for people interested in your parHcular niche areas.
• Each coaching category you write about (for instance stress management or work/life balance) is like a blog category
within your blog. Feel free to write on a very specific topic that can be categorized according to these coaching
niches. So for instance in NLP, EFT and hypnotherapy, topics could be arHcles such as "How building rapport can help
you land that next job" or "Seven steps to mirroring." The more concrete and specific you can be in the coaching
advice you give, and the topic you choose, the more your readers will respond.
• A series within a coaching niche category can also be a great way of gaining a following. For instance, you might
write a series on stress management techniques, or Hps for busy working mothers, and so on.

118

www.lifecoachhub.com
• ArHcles such as "10 easy ways to help you [fill in the blank]" and "Top 10 [blank]" are always well liked. Using a hook
such as a popular celebrity or trending event which then moves into a related coaching Hp can be very shareable and
linkable. PredicHons and trends are fun (e.g. What’s hot and what’s not for [fill in the blank] for 2013).
• To build a following, it’s a great idea to link to any other arHcles you have wriVen for this site within your arHcle.
