BOOST YOUR

COACHING CONFIDENCE

Hey there,
So lovely to meet you. Although we may not have met in person, I
already know you are someone pretty special to have put up your hand
to become a coach.
I want to acknowledge right up front that taking the leap to
becoming a coach is exciting yes, but even more so - downright scary!
Congratulations on your courage so far.

It is very common, and completely natural, for new coaches to feel unconfident in their ability to
get great results in their coaching sessions.

When I sent out a survey to my list, the number one struggle new coaches shared with me was
around their confidence and feeling ‘expert’ enough in their coaching sessions.

I watch many new coaches sit on the sidelines, waiting to feel confident, but the truth is you
have to just get in the game and start.

You’ll never gain confidence without practice. It’s just not possible.

You must get in the game!

A common reason that new coaches don’t feel “expert” enough is because they often feel overly
responsible for the results their client see. Often, they are comparing themselves to different
experts in their field. Or they don’t feel they have learned enough ‘skills’.

For example a Health Coach may worry that she won’t get the same results that a doctor might
– but a health coach is meant to COACH – not be the doctor.

The other reason is simply that coaching is NEW for you. It’s ok to be a beginner.

The truth is, at some stage you are going to have to take that leap and get started anyway.

So, how do you get in the game and start coaching BEFORE you feel ready?

BOOST YOUR

COACHING CONFIDENCE

The truth is, you don’t need a zillion different coaching techniques and
years of experience under your belt to get started.
If you start with just one power-tool in your toolkit - the ability to ask
killer questions - you will notice a massive improvement in your coaching
skills and the results of your clients.

New coaches can also be held back by thinking that their lives have to be perfect before they
can coach. This is a mistake, too.

Think about it - top athletes all have coaches, but their coach is not necessarily more advanced
than they are… they just know how to COACH.

Your job is not to be perfect, it’s to be a coach - an incredible question asker and a top listener.

Coaching is about asking the questions, NOT having every single answer or the perfect
solution. Let the client have their own a-ha moments, rather than lecturing them or trying to be
an expert on their life. That will exhaust you.

Do not try and rob your client of their own ‘a-has’ by telling them everything you know or
needing to fill every gap – instead, master the art of asking questions and allow the magic of
coaching to unfold.

Of course the key to doing this is having a killer set of questions in your toolkit ready to go, so I
have compiled a list of my most powerful coaching questions for you to use yourself.

It’s time to lean back and trust that you have everything you need to be a great coach – ask
these questions, listen for answers and allow your client the gift of a massive breakthrough.

I encourage you to print these questions out and put them on the wall in your office so you
never get stuck for words again.

Go get ‘em - the world needs you and your coaching brilliance!

You are enough.

WHERE TO NEXT?

Do you need support growing your Health Coaching business?

I’m not looking for the “can you do it for me?” kind of Health Coach.
I’m looking for the “show me what it really takes, show me what works, show me how it’s done”
kinda gal.
Why? Because as a fellow coach, I’d truly love to show you how it’s done...
My personal business consistently averaged over $5,000 a month in my first year as a Health
Coach and I’ve gone on to make 7-figures a year from my current coaching practice.
STOP: Please let me be very clear on this point - I only share this with you to show you what is
completely possible for YOU too.
You see, I am seriously a very ordinary gal just like you. I didn’t get handed this on a silver platter
and I’m certainly no celeb. I was sitting in my corporate career, day in and day out just a few
years ago wishing there was a better way. And I not only made the leap, but I made it work.
I wish I had realised when starting out how hard it is initially to get clients. You see, no-one is
actually googling for a ‘Health Coach’ - ‘what is a Health Coach anyway?’
My coaching success certainly didn’t happen overnight. I struggled through trial and error,
failures and successes, victories and losses, and came out the other side having honestly worked
out what it takes to create a great income from a Health Coaching business.
I have worked with over 500 private clients in my signature UPswing System to start their own
Health Coaching businesses and I truly know what works (and what doesn’t).
I’m certain I can help you too.
How do I know this? Because you’re one of the go-getters who took the proactive step of
downloading this guide, in your drive to get clients.
I see my own driven qualities in your actions and therefore you’ve made the cut because I
recognise your potential.
In UPswing Mastermind I’m not going to build your business for you - as a go-getter you desire
to do that yourself anyway. But if you too have that burning desire to have a massive impact on
the world’s health, then I will share with you everything I know so you can do the same.
