What do you do if your entry-level position in leadership development coaching is hindering your credibility?

Enhance Your Knowledge: Stay updated with the latest leadership development trends, theories, and practices. Consider certifications, online courses, and attending workshops to deepen your understanding. Seek Mentorship: Find a mentor in the leadership coaching field who can provide guidance, feedback, and insights to help you grow professionally.

Along with the niche, we need to be clear about our values or philosophies we believe. Then exhibit consistently. Some of the values/philosopies that helped me(to give example) 1. Follow first before preaching others 2. Respect each individual and not to position 3. Blame process first that enabled mistakes and not individual

La Experiencia de otras personas satisfechas a quien ya ayudaste. A veces debes empezar haciendo servicios gratuitos para ir ganando credibilidad. Luego las acreditaciones de tu formación son muy valiosas. El valor que generas en las personas a través del impacto en sus vidas es el mejor referente

Leadership isn't about doing. It's more about expanding expressing and experiencing the fullness of who you are! What are your desires? What are your passions? What are you drawn to? Who lights your fire! Check outs video's on You Tube by Neville Goddard, Earl Nightingale or Wayne Dyer or just explore inspirational sites you are drawn to! Become more Self Aware (20%) and Aware (80%) less outer directed. Wake UP!!!! :-)

New coach? No sweat! Build trust despite being new: Highlight your edge: 1. Showcase relevant certifications & training (coaching programs). 2. Share powerful client stories (testimonials or case studies). Focus on client value: 1. Emphasize your fresh perspective & adaptability to modern leadership. 2. Tailor coaching to their specific challenges 3. Build and leverage your network , people who know how you work and all the value that you bring.

Elevate your credibility beyond conventional measures by weaving your unique narrative into your credentials. Your journey, experiences, and personal insights are as valuable as any certification. Combine formal qualifications with your authentic story to create a compelling tapestry of expertise. Your credentials aren't just achievements; they're a testament to your resilience, adaptability, and growth.

I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of testimonials. These personal stories do more than just highlight the effectiveness of your programs; they resonate deeply with potential clients, showcasing real-life examples of growth and success. Testimonials serve as a mirror reflecting the potential journey and outcomes for new clients, making the abstract tangible. They not only validate your skills and the robustness of my programs but also illuminate the profound impact of emotional intelligence on personal and professional development. In essence, testimonials are not just endorsements; they are powerful narratives that encapsulate the essence of transformation, inspiring trust and confidence in those seeking change.

A mi me ha resultado útil generar contenido de valor específico al nicho que quiero llegar. Pero no se trata de educar, sino que más bien ayudar a los demás a reflexionar sobre el tema. Por eso siempre insto a los demás a opinar y trato de ser disruptivo en el planteamiento. Esto último llama la atención y fomenta la participación.

Always overdeliver, give more advices, be more present, supporting. Short example with my coachees: i helped one of them to relocate, another one to support his theater piece, and I am always available during week end for emergencies. Sometimes you offer time, money or availability and people have then a strong opinion of you as a leader!

Shift the paradigm of networking from transactional to transformational. It's not just about collecting business cards; it's about forging genuine connections that foster mutual growth. Embrace diverse perspectives, actively listen, and seek opportunities for co-creation. Your network isn't just a web of contacts; it's a vibrant ecosystem where ideas collide, innovations flourish, and credibility thrives.

Networking seems to prove a real challenge to a number of people entering the coaching industry, yet it’s an incredible way to build relationships and connections organically. I hear coaches say how difficult it is to sell themselves, yet networking provides the opportunity to showcase credibility through genuine conversations. Collaboration is such an exciting prospect, as so many professions have synergy with coaching, such as HR, consultancy, sales & marketing to name a few.

Consider the culture of your organisation. Is it supportive of the time it takes to build new capabilities? It is 'normal' that someone in a new leadership position would time some time to find their feet? How can you set expectations with others about your learning journey and what they can expert as you get up to speed with your new role. We all have to start somewhere and the key is to find (or create) an environment where you are safe to learn and build your reputation over time.

Credibility, trust, and reputation can only be earned over time through consistent contributions to the betterment and transformation of the coachees. I am afraid there is no shortcut, but here are a few things to do - Keep showing up for your clients - Become a better listener and keep building your intuitive skills - It takes courage to ask the hard questions; work on that muscle - Work on creating an expansive and diverse thought process and mindset - Invest in a coach for yourself. We all have blind spots

Avoid at all cost people negociating your prices, they don't value you and are the worst customer, the ones not happy with what you deliver. I only choose people that act quickly and with full determination. If people don't know if I am for them, I know that they are not for me!

Ask yourself why you believe this. It is just a thought from your left critical brain. Dig in and uncover why you want this position. Is it for your benefit or others. Do it anyway, and learn and grow.

Think of it like this: a young lighthouse, though new, still steers giants home. Your fresh perspective might be just the spark your team craves. Focus on your strengths! Are you a patient listener? A champion of clear communication? These are leadership gold! Lead by example – your enthusiasm is contagious! Don't be afraid to learn alongside your team. Growth is a beautiful journey, best shared. Ask questions! Seek mentors! You might be surprised by the wisdom you unearth. Remember, even the mighty oak began as a humble acorn. Keep shining, and watch your leadership light grow even brighter!
