International Coach Federation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ICF holds international conferences annually to bring the coaching world together to collaborate with and learn from each other, and this is where I had a chance to interview Jayne.<\/p>\n<p>The full transcript of the interview is below&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>02:49 Jeffrey Sooey: All right, we are back at ICF Converge 2017, the International Coach Federation Conference for 2017. I\u2019m here with Jayne Warrilow, the author of the 10-Day Coaches MBA. I wanted to take some time with you, and I am so happy that we had a chance to meet yesterday, because the models that you have created, and some of the steps that coaches need to take to develop their practices and their businesses into something that lives beyond them&#8230; I thought was really compelling.<\/p>\n<p>I was wondering if you could share what you feel are the most important distinctions that you share in the 10-Day Coaches MBA that new coaches, especially, don\u2019t understand, and haven\u2019t even thought of when they\u2019re thinking about starting their coaching practice or their coaching business.<\/p>\n<p>03:48 Jayne Warrilow: Okay. Well, I think the first thing to point out is don\u2019t copy somebody else\u2019s business because really you want to create your business for your coaching clients.<\/p>\n<h2>The Difference Between a Coaching Practice and a Coaching Business<\/h2>\n<p>So it all begins, like you say, Jeffrey, with a coaching practice.<\/p>\n<p>So I think the assumption is that you are a really great coach, and that\u2019s the foundational piece of your practice, and then you build your practice around it.<\/p>\n<p>04:13 Now, we make a distinction between a coaching practice, which is formed by one-on-one clients, to building a business that is really scalable, and you can leverage it as you go to higher income levels and greater reach from your business.<\/p>\n<h2>The Six Systems That You Must Have in Your Coaching Business<\/h2>\n<p>04:31 So this is really showing a systemic approach to how you build an integrated business system for your coaching, and we work on six \u201cmicro-systems\u201d. So think about this for a moment, because it\u2019s really important that, as a coach, you understand there are six systems that you need in your business.<\/p>\n<p>04:52 Jeffrey Sooey: Okay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMicro-System\u201d One: Your Client Attraction System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>04:52 Jayne Warrilow: The first microsystem is your client attraction system. This is how you get a predictable sales flow into your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMicro-System\u201d Two: Your Client Conversion System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And then we have the client conversion system. This is how you go about having conversations that get more people to say yes to your coaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMicro-System\u201d Three: Your Onboarding System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then we have the onboarding system. This is about how do you take that initial excitement that your clients have and really keep that momentum going as they come into coaching with you so they don\u2019t bail early.<\/p>\n<p>05:23 Jeffrey Sooey: Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMicro-System\u201d Four: Your Client Nurture System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>05:23 Jayne Warrilow: And then we have the client nurture system because today it\u2019s no longer enough to be a great coach, you actually have to be a good business leader as well.<\/p>\n<p>What that means from a client experience is that you don\u2019t just be great in your coaching conversations, you\u2019re actually great in the way that you do business. So you give your clients a real quality of service and experience and you really add value.<\/p>\n<p>We like to think of this client nurture sequence as, \u201cHow can you add value as you\u2019re doing your coaching?\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>How can you add value as you\u2019re doing your coaching?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s all about value creation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMicro-System\u201d Five: Your Client Resources Library<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>05:58 Then we also teach coaches that to be successful in today\u2019s market, a lot of clients are demanding more than just coaching.<\/p>\n<p>So if you can build a body of work around your coaching, then you start to have more impact, you can reach more people, and you can also make sure that, when you coach, in between coaching sessions, there\u2019s a bit of a drop off sometimes with momentum in terms of change and transformation.<\/p>\n<p>06:23 Jayne Warrilow: If you have resources that can keep the change sustainable in between coaching sessions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMicro-System\u201d Six: Your Client Evaluation System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then we have client evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this isn\u2019t just a form where you say, \u201cHow did we do?\u201d This is a system that you can use to get critical feedback to enable you to stay client centric in your coaching business and continuously evolve. Because, here\u2019s the thing, everything is changing so fast that what was successful, what was effective last year is not going to be the same next year.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got to stay close to our clients so that we know exactly what they want from us.<\/p>\n<p>07:00 Jeffrey Sooey: Okay, so just to review these six systems, because there was a lot, I want to make sure we\u2019re clear on it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Client Attraction System:<\/strong> So basically, it\u2019s a lead flow of people that are actually interested in working with you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Client Conversion System:<\/strong> Converting leads into actual clients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Client Onboarding System:<\/strong> That\u2019s a huge one a lot of coaches miss, I think, because I have coaches that we work with on a regular basis that say, \u201cI thought they signed up, and then, the next day, they\u2019re gone\u201d. We want to create that momentum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Client Nurturing System<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Client Resources Library:<\/strong> Resources for client to use between coaching sessions and something that\u2019s valuable beyond just coaching that you might give.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Client Evaluation System:<\/strong> Actually getting evaluated by the client.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>The Crucial Touch Points That You Should Manage From The Start to The Completion of Each Coach and Client Relationship<\/h2>\n<p>07:55 Jayne Warrilow: So what this really is from a high-level picture, if you take a step back from your business, it\u2019s looking from the first touch point with the person when they meet you (It might be a networking event). It\u2019s the first time they come into contact with you. But, It could be online where they just see a post of yours.<\/p>\n<p>08:15 Jeffrey Sooey: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>08:15 Jayne Warrilow: From that very first touch point, you\u2019ve already thought about the journey of transformation you want to take them on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;from that very first touch point to well after they stop being your client.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>From that very first touch point, you\u2019ve already thought about the journey of transformation you want to take them on&#8230; from that very first touch point to well after they stop being your client.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>08:28 Jeffrey Sooey: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>08:28 Jayne Warrilow: After you finish the coaching contract, you\u2019re still going to be adding value, because you want them to be a source of referrals for you. You want them to be an advocate for your business.<\/p>\n<p>This is not just about getting clients.<\/p>\n<p>This is actually about getting advocates, champions&#8230; people that will go and tell other people about you and your coaching.<\/p>\n<p>08:49 Jeffrey Sooey: Yeah, and that is so important, because, if all you are doing is just creating a client, and then they\u2019re gone, and they don\u2019t bring you more clients, or more interest, or more of an audience, then your job is just as hard as it was the first day you started coaching. You\u2019ve got to go start again from scratch, so it makes total sense.<\/p>\n<h2>The Three Big Levels of Coaching Business, From One-on-one Coach to Thought Leader<\/h2>\n<p>09:09 Now, you mentioned those different levels of a coaching business.<\/p>\n<p>09:15 Jayne Warrilow: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>09:15 Jeffrey Sooey: And let me make sure I remember these. The first was just the one-on-one coach.<\/p>\n<p>09:20 Jayne Warrilow: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>09:21 Jeffrey Sooey: And I seemed to remember that the second one had to do with more leveraged coaching and then the third one was when it\u2019s beyond your coaching. Can you elucidate that a little bit more?<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEVEL ONE: One on One Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>09:32 Jayne Warrilow: Oh, sure. So it really starts with the coaching practice. That\u2019s really building successful business around one-on-one coaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEVEL TWO: Coaching Business<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, we make a distinction because that will get you to a ceiling of success and a ceiling of income and reach and impact.<\/p>\n<p>So then we cross the threshold into now you\u2019re ready to build a coaching business. This is where you can build a body of work.<\/p>\n<p>You can start to systematize on your business now. You\u2019re building, ready to be scalable. So you can actually go up to about three-quarters of a million dollars with your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEVEL THREE: Thought Leader<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>10:09 And then there\u2019s the next threshold of change.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few of us that want to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>become thought leaders<\/li>\n<li>Innovate<\/li>\n<li>lead conversations within the industry<\/li>\n<li>not only change our clients\u2019 lives, but potentially change the industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>10:25 Jeffrey Sooey: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>10:26 Jayne Warrilow: So those are the people that need to go beyond coaching, because these are the authors, the speakers, the thought leaders of the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In a way, they\u2019re making contribution (or coaching, so to speak) through a thought leadership process&#8230; through a conversation that\u2019s beyond what a coach would directly do with a group or with an individual.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>10:35 Jeffrey Sooey: So in a way, they\u2019re making contribution (or coaching, so to speak) through a thought leadership process&#8230; through a conversation that\u2019s beyond what a coach would directly do with a group or with an individual?<\/p>\n<p>10:50 Jayne Warrilow: Exactly, yes, and then what that means is, at that level, then the one-on-one coaching becomes the elite package that you give to your clients. At that point you\u2019ve probably got all the coaches working for you.<\/p>\n<p>You may have licensed your material because your body of work has already been built in the business stage. When you get to that point, it really is now about \u201cHow do you really lead the conversation from there?\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>The Natural and Predictable Resistance That Coaches and Other Heart-centered Leaders Feel Around Fully Engaging in Their Coaching Business&#8230; and What to Do About It<\/h2>\n<p>11:17 Jeffrey Sooey: Now, some of the coaches that I\u2019ve talked to about building a coaching business (or even a practice)&#8230; One of the resistance points that I found is, \u201cYou know, I\u2019m a great coach. The value is all about the coaching. I want to focus on coaching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I think that\u2019s a great way to get started, maybe develop some clients.<\/p>\n<p>But I think a lot of coaches have hesitancy about focusing on the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">business<\/span> part of the business, not because they don\u2019t see that, \u201cOkay, well, this could make me money\u201d, but because their identity is so deeply seated with who they are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">as a coach<\/span>, and it\u2019s almost like they\u2019re breaking with who they really feel themselves to be.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think a lot of coaches have hesitancy about focusing on the business part of the business, not because they don\u2019t see that, \u201cOkay, well, this could make me money\u201d, but because their identity is so deeply seated with who they are as a coach, and it\u2019s almost like they\u2019re breaking with who they really feel themselves to be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s almost like uncomfortable, or inauthentic, or it\u2019s out of place for them to be a business person, or to be a practice builder and to do these things&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;that there\u2019s a lot to this that we really got to dive in.<\/p>\n<p>12:12 How do you support somebody who really needs to do this, but they feel that disconnect?<\/p>\n<p>Because, as a heart-centered leader, as someone who\u2019s a phenomenal coach, who has worked for years and years as somebody who\u2019s really given from herself as a coach\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;How do you make that transition in the business, and take that on as an identity, and still connect deeply with that, and feel comfortable or authentic, as you\u2019re really building the mechanics of business?<\/p>\n<h2>How to Integrate Your Coaching Identity Into Your Role as a Business Owner and Founder of Your Own Coaching Business<\/h2>\n<p>12:42 Jayne Warrilow: Right. So here\u2019s what I want you to know: If we had been talking ten years ago, I think it would be very true to say, \u201cCoach is over here, and business leader is over here.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If we had been talking ten years ago, I think it would be very true to say, \u201cCoach is over here, and business leader is over here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>12:51 Jeffrey Sooey: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>12:51 Jayne Warrilow: And therefore, it\u2019s almost like polarities. And you can feel the tension between.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21267\" style=\"width: 586px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-21267\" src=\"https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.com\/becomeacoach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/JAYNE-WARRILOW-author-of-10-day-coaches-business-mba-with-Jeffrey-Sooey-of-Master-Coach-University-300x169.png\" alt=\"JAYNE WARRILOW author of The 10 Day Coaches MBA &amp; Jeffrey Sooey of Master Coach University at the ICF Converge 2017 Conference\" width=\"586\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.com\/becomeacoach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/JAYNE-WARRILOW-author-of-10-day-coaches-business-mba-with-Jeffrey-Sooey-of-Master-Coach-University-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.com\/becomeacoach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/JAYNE-WARRILOW-author-of-10-day-coaches-business-mba-with-Jeffrey-Sooey-of-Master-Coach-University-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.com\/becomeacoach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/JAYNE-WARRILOW-author-of-10-day-coaches-business-mba-with-Jeffrey-Sooey-of-Master-Coach-University-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.com\/becomeacoach\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/JAYNE-WARRILOW-author-of-10-day-coaches-business-mba-with-Jeffrey-Sooey-of-Master-Coach-University.png 1230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">JAYNE WARRILOW author of The 10 Day Coaches MBA &amp; Jeffrey Sooey of Master Coach University at the ICF Converge 2017 Conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s almost like they will be very different people.<\/p>\n<p>12:56 Jeffrey Sooey: And in my opinion, they\u2019re very different worlds.<\/p>\n<p>You could build a great business and be a horrible coach, or you could be a phenomenal coach and have a horrible business. But that\u2019s the external side, so please continue&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>13:11 Jayne Warrilow: Yeah. So to me, that was ten years ago, right?<\/p>\n<p>13:15 Now, leadership has shifted massively, and it\u2019s continuing to go in this direction.<\/p>\n<p>What we\u2019re now seeing is these polarities, with this tension and conflict between, is starting to move this way.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s happening is now we\u2019re getting an integration of coaching and leadership.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What\u2019s happening is now we\u2019re getting an integration of coaching and leadership.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So now, for you to hold coach as your identity, and then think about how you lead as a coach, that\u2019s really all your business needs. Because, what it is now, it\u2019s this integration, and it\u2019s actually very coach-like to be a successful leader today, even if you\u2019ve never been a certified coach.<\/p>\n<p>13:51 Jeffrey Sooey: Right.<\/p>\n<p>13:51 Jayne Warrilow: You see, it\u2019s the same skills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s the intuitive skills.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s the communication.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s the heart centeredness<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s also about getting to your own edges&#8230;\n<ul>\n<li>your learning edge.<\/li>\n<li>the leading edge (whatever your edges are).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s very much a part of leadership today, but that\u2019s what we do as coaches.<\/p>\n<p>We take people to their edges.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re going to take anyone to their edges as a coach, you\u2019ve got to model it yourself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you\u2019re going to take anyone to their edges as a coach, you\u2019ve got to model it yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>14:17 Jeffrey Sooey: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>14:17 Jayne Warrilow: So I really do get the fact that for some coaches, they\u2019ve got to get out their comfort zone to build their business.<br \/>\nBut, I also think this is our calling, because, if you really believe as a coach that you have the skills to make a real difference in our world, I think it\u2019s your responsibility to get that out as much as you can. And if that means building your business, if that means you have to have a deeper understanding of it, yes, it doesn\u2019t mean you have to do everything.<\/p>\n<p>What it means is you have to have an understanding so you can recruit the right people.<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019re growing you can get the right team together. You don\u2019t have to do all the pieces, but it\u2019s your business, and it\u2019s the systems within it that give you the freedom to coach, and give you the reach and the impact that you want.<\/p>\n<p>15:05 Jeffrey Sooey: So the mechanics of business is something that will be a foundation for me&#8230; as a leader leading my business, leading my clients&#8230; just like the mechanics of coaching would be a foundation for that.<\/p>\n<p>Each of them has their own mechanics. My discipline is to master those mechanics. But it\u2019s not about the mechanics, it\u2019s about being a leader.<\/p>\n<p>I can be a leader as a coach.<\/p>\n<p>I could be a leader as a business person.<\/p>\n<p>Those are just horses I can ride on, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>15:33 Jayne Warrilow: Yeah, and I think as a really important piece of advice here.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re going to do business building, make sure that you\u2019re learning from a coach, because we get too many coaches that have been burned by internet marketers (and other big dreams on the internet).<\/p>\n<p>They [internet marketers] know nothing about the coaching industry and therefore, in some ways, they\u2019re selling snake oil, and we\u2019ve had a lot of people, a lot of coaches, that have lost a lot of money for no rewards.<\/p>\n<p>15:59 So that\u2019s the key piece, it\u2019s \u201cHow do you build a business that\u2019s successful, but is very high touch, is very coach-like, and really makes the most of your coaching skills in the way that you get clients and convert them, and then take them in to the business where they\u2019re going to have an incredible transformation?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>How do you build a business that\u2019s successful, but is very high touch, is very coach-like, and really makes the most of your coaching skills in the way that you get clients and convert them, and then take them in to the business where they\u2019re going to have an incredible transformation?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>16:15 Jeffrey Sooey: Well, that makes so much sense.<\/p>\n<p>I think one of the big fears that coaches have, and I think one of the big challenges I\u2019ve seen (with some coaches who have gone \u2018off the rails\u2019 in their business) has been that they became somebody that they weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>They actually did the very thing that other coaches resist&#8230; business.<\/p>\n<p>16:36 And the reason why they resist business, is that they ended up buying into something that really had nothing to do with them, and they thought that was business, and they thought that was their business.<\/p>\n<p>And, ultimately, it took them in a realm where they either had to not do that anymore (and it ended for them), or it was even worse&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;They became somebody that they weren\u2019t, and couldn\u2019t actually fulfill the real dream that this was about.<\/p>\n<p>17:07 Anything else that you think would be valuable for coaches when they\u2019re thinking about business that either you teach in the book or that just if you could connect with coaches that are struggling with that piece that you think is really important for them to know?<\/p>\n<p>17:19 Jayne Warrilow: Yeah. So when I started, I talked about growing your own business, your unique business, so I think, actually, the journey starts within.<br \/>\nIt starts with really knowing who you are, knowing what your value is, so that you can communicate that with clarity. So, for me, the coaching journey, just like the leadership journey, because I\u2019m an executive coach (I do work with leaders as well)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So when I talked about these polarities coming together, that\u2019s happening from the position of the coach, but it\u2019s also happening from the position of the leader who is having to learn coaching skills to be successful as a leader today.<\/p>\n<p>17:56 Jeffrey Sooey: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>17:56 Jayne Warrilow: So I think it really is about getting really clear about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>who you are<\/li>\n<li>what your strengths are<\/li>\n<li>what the value is that only you can bring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is how you eliminate the competition, because there\u2019s nobody else like you in the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is how you eliminate the competition, because there\u2019s nobody else like you in the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you can embrace that, and have that as the foundational element of your business, no one can touch you, because there\u2019s only one you, and that\u2019s what you need to fully express in your business.<\/p>\n<p>18:24 Jeffrey Sooey: Wow. That is a fantastic message.<\/p>\n<p>I so appreciate you sharing that with the coaches that are going to see this, and thank you so much for the contribution that you\u2019ve made, I know, to your clients, but also now, as a thought leader, to anybody who\u2019s going to read your book.<\/p>\n<p>So once again, the book is <strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/10-Day-Coaches-MBA-Business\/dp\/1947285009\/\">10-Day Coaches MBA<\/a><\/strong>, and how can they get this book?
