Where location, location, location is the purported key of real estate investment, the first step towards becoming a great coach is practice, practice, practice.

Hundreds and hundreds of practice hours are needed to become a good pilot or skilful doctor and coaching is no different.  Your clients and prospects sense immediately how confident you are.  To earn their trust, you must first cultivate a solid trust in your own skills.

There are at least six ways in which practicing your coaching skills will put you on the path towards business success:

No. 1 YOU GO FROM HESITANT TO SUPER KEEN IN KEY COACHING SKILLS

Without practice, we lack the confidence needed in the skills of active listening, powerful questioning and direct communication.  With practice, we become well versed in these coaching skill essentials, best positioning ourselves to help others and be successful.

No. 2 YOU BECOME AN EXPERT IN ESTABLISHING TRUST AND INTIMACY

Without practice, we are not skilled at creating environments that nurture trust and intimacy.  With practice, we become more savvy and responsive to our customer niche needs, setting the stage for solid and effective Coach-Client relations.

No. 3 YOU DEVELOP A SOLID COMFORT IN COACHING PROCEDURES AND CYCLES

Without practice, we are not confident in defining goals, designing actions nor managing progress and accountability.  With practice, these procedures become carefree and customised, allowing us to make meaningful impacts in our clients' livelihoods and wellbeing.

No. 4 YOUR GROUND RULES WILL BECOME CRYSTAL CLEAR

Without practice, we have no clue what to focus on when establishing the ground rules for our practices.  With practice, the unique characteristics of our customer niches become crystal clear, helping us create the right kind of agreements needed to found strong Coach-Client relationships.

No. 5 YOU COMMUNICATE YOUR COACHING ETHICS CODE MORE CLEARLY 

Without practice, communicating our coaching ethics is an awkward and sterile experience.  With practice, even the most difficult bits of communicating our services to prospects and customers becomes natural and clear.

No. 6 YOU WILL GAIN MORE PAYING CLIENTS

Without practice, we have no clear strategy to turn potential clients into real ones.  With practice, we discover the unique characteristics and triggers of our customer niche, helping us focus our attention on those we are best suited to coach, and ultimately turn more prospects into paying customers.
