\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest fear most people have it that they\u2019re afraid of themselves.\u00a0 They\u2019re afraid they\u2019re going to embarrass themselves.\u00a0 They\u2019re afraid that other people are going to see every single thing they\u2019ve ever felt insecure about.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And you know what?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not likely to happen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So here are some ‘life coach tips’<\/strong> to make it easier for you to become a coach<\/strong> and enjoy the journey:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Coach Tips<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0#1 \u2013 RELAX. Have fun, and enjoy the conversation. Speak from the heart. Everything else flows from there. The good news is that if you can\u2019t really relax, people won\u2019t be able to tell anyway (it’s your funeral!).<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Coach Tips<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0#2 \u2013 Make sure what you have to say that has value for your client.\u00a0 You need to know your client well enough to know what matters to them and to care enough to structure your presentation in such a way that clients will take an immediate interest and remain interested throughout. Remember why you decided to\u00a0<\/span>become a coach in the first place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How do you find out what is valuable for your client? \u00a0Ask them these simple questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0What do you want?\u00a0What are your goals \/ dreams?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0What are your biggest problems \/ frustrations?<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0What are your fears? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then ask these same questions in the area that they want your help with. \u00a0You’ll get really specific about how to become a coach<\/strong> to those types of clients in that particular niche.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life coach tips<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0#3 \u2013 But what if you are still self-conscious? Stop! It\u2019s not about you. To\u00a0<\/span>become a coach<\/span><\/span><\/span>, you need to make it about the person or people you are talking to and the information you are sharing with them. Unless you are walking down the \u201cred carpet\u201d in Hollywood, no one is going to remember what you were wearing, or how you sound. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Believe me, I have coached clients with laryngitis that made me sound like Mrs. Shrek… they don\u2019t remember that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as you make the conversation about them\u2026and they feel that it truly is all about them. They will forgive and forget everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are self-conscious, you are not focusing on the client or their needs. If you\u2019re providing something of value and you\u2019re thinking about your client and their needs, you\u2019re on the right track. You don\u2019t have to be great. You just need to make your client feel you are reaching out to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life coach tips<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0#4 \u2013 Know that most people<\/span>\u00a0want to like you.<\/span><\/em>\u00a0Most people are not there to criticize; they\u2019re there to learn, to get some value from what you have to say.\u00a0 They want to like you, and they will like you unless you give them reason not to.\u00a0 And one of the best ways to win your client is to talk about what matters to them instead of what matters to you.\u00a0 Once you understand that and you\u2019re willing to work with your client just about everything else is a detail. Remember, you have\u00a0<\/span>become a coach<\/span>, and it’s time to realize that role by walking your talk<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life coach tips<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0#5 \u2013 Be yourself, speak from the heart, and don\u2019t listen to your own negative self-talk.\u00a0<\/span>Become a coach<\/span><\/span>\u00a0for yourself, or get some outside coaching. Choose some new self-talk that will empower you. For more on this topic try,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you learn these\u00a0<\/span>life coach tips<\/a><\/span><\/span>, you will realize that you have\u00a0<\/span>become a coach<\/span><\/span>\u00a0with the ability to speak with confidence. And you can start tapping into that power the next time you speak.<\/span><\/p>\n
