In the recession, what can professional life coaches do?
Palm Coast, FL
Friday, March 20, 2009
Create new resources, get paid and ask for help.
Money is a topic most people are not comfortable talking about, at least not in public. Because of this, few people are good at asking for help with making money, creating new sources of money, and especially with making money from doing what we love.
This is a problem. In order for us to grow a profitable and satisfying coaching business, it is beneficial to speak to others who have already created a successful practice. Learning from those who have already done the work can save us a lot of time and effort.
If we are struggling to make ends meet, it is not likely that we are enjoying what we do as much as we should, nor are we able to give ourselves fully to clients. But this need not be the case, even in these tough economic times. We can learn how to market ourselves, and there are no failures in these efforts. All attempts to generate business, or network, or change our model are just experiments and they get results—success or failure. We can learn from both, just as our clients do. We have the skills to help people through these challenging times, and to create a relationship that rewards both the coach and the coached.
The Institute for Life Coach Training offer classes, workshops, free resources and tele-calls each month to educate and inform you of techniques to sustain your coaching practice during a recessional period.
At ILCT, we specialize in training counselors, therapists, psychologists, social workers, human resource professionals, educators and other professionals in the profession of life coaching. Dr. Patrick Williams, owner and founder of the school has worked through many turbulent times as a career and professional coach. His leadership and experience along with his faculty, make ILCT the leader in coaching school in the industry since, 1998.
