Most people who try to grow their coaching practice<\/a><\/strong> through public speaking leave money on the table at every event, and they don\u2019t even know it.\u00a0 To avoid this costly mistake there are two coaching tips<\/a><\/strong> you must handle BEFORE you enter the room.\u00a0 And the great news is that these coaching tips<\/strong> are simple things you can now so you can enroll more clients into your coaching practice<\/strong> at your next speaking engagement.<\/p>\n

When You\u2019re in the Front of the Room You Must Have Your \u201cA\u201d Game on in Order to Grow Your Coaching Practice<\/h3>\n

The first of these coaching tips<\/strong> is that you better be ridiculously \u2018on.\u2019\u00a0 That means you must get yourself into a powerful state of mind; come from a powerful place emotionally and physiologically.\u00a0 It\u2019s your responsibility to show up and be ready to provide value to prospective clients and to change their lives for the better.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make it about your coaching practice<\/strong>; make it about your audience.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in the right state, more will come out of you.<\/p>\n

Timing is Key During Your Presentation if You Want to Gain More Clients in Your Coaching Practice<\/h3>\n

The second of these coaching tips is that you need to say the right thing at the right time during the presentation.\u00a0 During the first five minutes, there are things you need to say or no one will sign up for anything related to your coaching practice<\/span>.\u00a0 Also, there are things you need to say at the end as well.\u00a0 As one of my mentors Eric Lofholm<\/a> says, \u201cPeople behave in predictable ways.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Make sure your presentation has a certain level of predictability.\u00a0 Pre-frame what you\u2019ll offer them within first five minutes in a way that\u2019s compelling.\u00a0 And likewise at the end of the presentation, your closing words should be compelling.\u00a0 Just like the Home Shopping Network has you ripping out your credit card and picking up the phone, you don\u2019t remember that you don\u2019t need another piece of exercise equipment.\u00a0 That\u2019s compelling.<\/p>\n

The Most Important of These Coaching Tips: Practice, Practice, Practice<\/h3>\n

How do you get there?\u00a0 Beyond the basics of knowing your target market and writing out your script; the most important of these coaching tips<\/span> is to memorize your offer.\u00a0 Word for word.\u00a0 If it\u2019s not memorized to that level, once you\u2019re in front of people you\u2019ll get nervous and not even say it at all.\u00a0 About two weeks or more before your presentation, start memorizing your offers and go over them every day for 30-60 minutes.\u00a0 Practice until it is so automatic you can do it in your sleep.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry; it won\u2019t sound boring from the front of the room.\u00a0 You\u2019ll actually be excited.\u00a0 It will be easy for you, and people will feel comfortable with you and your coaching practice<\/span>.<\/p>\n

And look, even if you follow these coaching tips<\/span> you\u2019re going to mess it up from time to time.\u00a0 But more work you put in ahead of time, the closer you\u2019ll be to the mark.\u00a0 And over time the benefit to your coaching practice will be measurable.<\/p>\n
