The following is an excerpt from the\u00a0CoachStart Manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most of these tips assume you’re at some kind of party or networking function, but they can work for anywhere:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Keep your answers short and let them drive it e.g., “I’m a coach”. \u00a0They’ll usually ask follow up questions.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Speak of what you do for people, not about what coaching is e.g., “I move people forward”; “I work with professionals to grow their business”; “I help women expand their community of friends”; “I do A, B, and C for people”<\/p>\n

3. They’ve asked ‘How does it work?’ \u00a0Great. \u00a0You might like to use Agassi or Tiger Woods as an example. \u00a0They have coaches. \u00a0It’s not fixing their game; it’s about being even better or having even more in your life.<\/p>\n

4. Another answer to this question might be: “I look for what’s missing. Some people come to me for direction; some want accountability, so that stuff gets done. Others can simply use support or a sounding board. (Others are focus, inspiration, and challenge.)<\/p>\n

5. Another great answer is: “If you could do anything, what’s the number one thing you would change in your life?”<\/p>\n

6. Put it back on them \u2014 after all, that’s what coaching is.<\/p>\n

7. Many people will say, “That’s interesting.” \u00a0Don’t let this pass. \u00a0Ask them “What about it do you find interesting?” and go from there.<\/p>\n

8. Other great questions: “Have you ever considered working with a coach?” \u00a0“If you had your own coach, what would you get started on first?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
