Your client doubts the power of life coaching. How can you prove its effectiveness?

The best part of getting to know if you like a particular cuisine is trying different dishes, right? The same is true of somatic training and coaching that cultivates your intuitive and somatic intelligence. Just as I can't tell someone they're going to love Thai food, I can't tell a prospective client that Samana Healing will be for them unless they have a taste. That's why I structure all my client onboarding with a first, free, 20-minute consultation and then a First Time Session. Being able explore somatic and intuitive intelligence training to see if this is the right kind of support for them is essential before committing to a three or five-month training. And most clients decide it's their new favorite flavor!

Life coaching helps individuals see their success in terms of possibilities and potential. Often we’re limited to what our success could be by our limited perspective of what is possible. Defining success towards the journey of our potential is the magic of life coaching.

If someone is considering coaching, there is a need for and so, I would start there. What is bringing them to a point of considering coaching? What are they looking for? What are they hoping to gain from it? If I believe I can help, then I would share how and what working with me is like. I would emphasize that the work is up to them with my support and encouragement.

1. Partager des témoignages et des réussites : Présenter des témoignages de clients précédents qui ont obtenu des résultats concrets grace à mon accompagnement. Les histoires réelles de transformation sont puissantes pour démontrer l’impact du coaching. 2. Offrir une séance découverte : Proposer une première séance gratuite ou à prix réduit pour permettre au client de vivre l’expérience du coaching et d’en juger par lui-même. 3. Explication de la méthodologie : Expliquer clairement le processus de coaching, les outils que j’utilise, ainsi que les étapes spécifiques pour accompagner le client vers ses objectifs. Cela aide à rassurer sur l’approche structurée et professionnelle du coaching. 4. établir des objectifs mesurables

You can't teach what you haven't experienced. My personal journey and the challenges I've overcome are integral to the guidance I offer my clients. By sharing my own experiences, I make myself relatable and demonstrate that I understand the struggles they face. This personal connection not only builds trust but also reassures them that I am equipped to help them navigate their own difficulties. My firsthand experiences enable me to offer practical, empathetic support and strategies that are grounded in real-life understanding, helping my clients move through the fog with confidence and clarity.

I always ask my clients during a discovery call, a package purchase, or another connection point that drew them to me, "With many life coaching options available, why me?" The vast majority say it was a testimonial from one of my clients or my own story (which is also a testimonial). When she relates to a personal story and can picture herself in it, she can also hope to achieve the transformation. She connects with the person and not with a program or sales pitch. As coaches, we need to be authentic and vulnerable with our own stories. This positions us to be a transformation expert, an encourager, and guide for our clients.

Making the decision to invest time, money and vulnerability in coaching is a big decision. Instead of proving the effectiveness of coaching, offer a free consultation and invite clients you would like to work with to begin risk free. Offer a 100% money back guarantee for a set time, such as 24 hours after their second session. They will experience the effectiveness first hand and, since they are pre-vetted, will receive coaching with less resistance and are very likely continue.

My experience has been that clients come in thinking they need one thing and end up realizing they need more than just that one thing. Everything we do is interconnected and how we do one thing is how we do everything. Helping clients see this and allowing them the space to do the internal work while being supported through coaching is the best thing I can do as a life coach. It’s about doing the internal work to heal that will help a client’s success. It’s looking at all aspects from a holistic view that will get to the root and allow the client to move forward.

Life coaching encompasses all aspects of your life. This holistic approach must start with the foundation of personal values and how all choices need to be in alignment with these values. At my 1st session with a client, we determine what is most important to them; what is non-negotiable. This provides a framework to measure options and decisions. My client may come in thinking she needs to work on one area of life, such as feeling burned out or bored with her career. By asking good questions, I discover she is feeling uneasy about her kids leaving home and she wonders what's next for her when she is no longer needed as a "mom". Life cannot be compartmentalized and a holistic approach to life coaching brings every area into balance.
