BBB partners with EcoSend to help coaches reduce CO2 emissions 41:47

37 weeks тому41:47

41:47

I’m really proud to announce that we are partnering with EcoSend, a “pioneering platform dedicated to increasing email marketing productivity and performance while minimising the carbon footprint associated with digital marketing”. The coaching industry continues to boom, with over 71,000 professional coaches in the UK alone. In this conversation we discuss helping coaches make wise choices about your marketing in mind of your own Wants, Needs, Limits and Boundaries, those of your Ideal Client, and the Planet. The environmental impact of our digital activities is an often overlooked subject, despite studies indicating that sending one email campaign can generate as much as 26g of CO2. It is estimated that over 340 billion emails are sent every day, and processing, sending, receiving, and storing the contents of every email requires energy. Even small improvements can add up to make a significant impact when deployed at a global scale. There is so much noise out there about how to sell coaching to generate a six-figure (or “10x” your) income. For three years now, Better Bolder Braver has been all about how to avoid the Toxic Marketing Bullsh*t. The BBB community and the Coach’s Marketing Journey course offers you guidance and support about building up a coaching business via feel-good and ethical marketing practices. I have myself moved Better Bolder Braver’s email marketing operations over to Ecosend to reduce our carbon footprint. Building on this, I have partnered with EcoSend to support you to do the same. Better Bolder Braver friends (that’s you!) benefit from a discounted EcoSend service as well as some incredibly helpful hand-holding from their team. As part of this partnership, I’ve been asked by EcoSend to provide them with marketing mentorship - so that they can enhance their own efforts to reach like-minded companies and individuals committed to creating responsible businesses. The move to EcoSend has been utterly painless, even for a technophobe. If you are minded to make the move, I’d say DO IT! It’s arguably the easiest way you can have a positive impact on the environment as an entrepreneur. James says: "Great email marketing campaigns shouldn’t come at the expense of Planet Earth. We're thrilled to be partnering with Better Bolder Braver to support coaches in nurturing and growing their audiences, while sharing a positive climate message and reducing their digital carbon footprint." You may also like to visit the MarketingKind and Ethical Move websites for more information about good, ethical marketing - and the Carbon Literacy Trust , which was set up to advance understanding and action on climate change. I trained with them recently and wholeheartedly recommend it. I’d really love to know if you make the move to EcoSend, and how you are getting on with email marketing generally. Please be in touch if you'd like the magic link that entitles you to 15% off the EcoSend service.…

Cyclical Living & Hope with Vix Anderton 1:03:16

50 weeks тому1:03:16

1:03:16

Humans have been "trying to figure it all out" for a while now... The most important thing about this podcast episode with highly qualified coach and excellent human, Vix Anderton , is that it comes at a time when so many could do with an injection of hope. The balance of self-work and bigger picture system change are very alive for a lot of us right now. But how can we mitigate the overwhelm? We are only human. We are but dust. We recently ran a BBB Tools & Techniques workshop just for coaches (available on demand for BBB members) about 'Cyclical Living' with Vix. This podcast episode is about that subject... and so much more. Recently, Vix - an ex-military, recovering perfectionist, has been thinking a lot about the importance of PURPOSE... or, indeed, the importance of not necessarily having one. Her first book, Enough , is "an imperfect antidote to perfectionism". And now she is embarking on a second... listen to this episode to hear all about what she's cooking up. It's going to be another banger, no doubt. Whilst arguably IMperfect, Vix's writing, which recently has been focused on themes such as " an alternative approach to discipline ", NOT reaching your goals and " leaning into mystery " is pretty damn impressive/permissive/refreshing. Earth yourself in a moment of realistic optimism and consider creating positive change - both individually and collectively - without a rigid plan. P.S. If you want a pretty good idea of what perfect MIGHT look like, were there such a thing, do check out Vix's website - from the 'look and feel 'of it to the delightfully-to-the-point blog headlines, it's a great example of where coaching and marketing make magic happen.…

Marketing without your Inner Critic with Alex Irving 51:07

1 year тому51:07

51:07

Are you a coach who is really struggling to "put yourself" out there in the world? Is there a voice in your head (that perhaps harks back to your childhood) that is telling you that everything you need to produce has to be perfect before you share it? Are you convinced people are not interested? Scared of rejection? Worried about what people will think of you? Embarrassed about (being seen to want to be) taking centre stage? If you've read thus far, you are - what we call in the Better Bolder Braver community - "Problem Aware". YOU are not the problem... the problem is the hold up at your end. And the JUDGEMENT about that hold up! Please - give yourself a break. Put your feed up. And have a listen to our resident Mindfulness Coach, Alex "mindfulskills" Irving, sharing and caring all about what you - as a fellow coach - can do to befriend yourself and your relationship with what we are calling here your "Inner Critic". The aim of the BBB game is to provide coaches with a safe and compassionate community within which we can play with, and practice, putting ourselves and our services out there with great clarity, confidence and joy. Alongside technical tools and strategies for doing good, ethical marketing, we hold each other kindly - and to account - for taking our goodness out to the world, so that we - and "Our People" can benefit from this work. "We are not for everyone" - says Marketing Godfather, Seth Godin... and that's OK".…

Toxic Marketing Bullsh*t and How to Avoid it: A Very Honest Account 53:54

1 year тому53:54

53:54

So many people that were looking to pivot their career thanks to Lockdown trained to become a coach. And sadly, a significant number of them then got caught up with some seriously dubious marketing advice and services. It is totally unsurprising, therefore, that Chelle Douglas (now safely in the BBB community) was one of them. Having to think creatively about what to do when her previous line of work became unviable in its current format, Chelle trained with one of the most well-known coaching training providers. But when she qualified, she felt lost and unsure as to what she was supposed to do next to get her business and good name out there. A familiar story. Along came a seemingly reliable marketing outfit that promised to show her how to get loads of clients pretty quickly and - you guessed it - to "10 x her income". She followed all their (farcical) advice and... Nothing. So they tried to get her to pay them even more money (her original investment being no less than £5K... she could have been in the BBB community for more than 8 years for that amount of money!) But she's not bitter. Thankfully Chelle is a brilliant, intelligent, optimistic and resourceful coach and mother of three children. So she picked herself up, dusted herself off and carried on looking for a way to grow her coaching business. She's very kindly offered up this candid account of what happened so as to help prevent other, newly qualified coaches from being brainwashed and taken advantage of. Please do have a listen and kindly share this with fellow coaching students, your coaching training providers, accreditation bodies and anyone else that you think needs to steer clear or could do with feeling that they are not alone. I am incredibly grateful to Chelle for her generosity here, and so happy she is now safely in the BBB community and working with me on a 121 basis.…

Know Yourself / Show Yourself 33:09

1 year тому33:09

33:09

Nearly three years ago, BBB Community Mentor, Kieran Morris , joined a fledging community for coaches on a hunch that it might be just what he was looking for. He'd already spent time and money on many of the magical silver bullet solutions out there – outsourcing his social media to an agency, trying out a 'bulletproof lead gen' strategy, signing up for those seminars that promise to teach you how to win at LinkedIn. He truly hated them all – the strategies, not the people – and had rarely felt so little alignment with my own values and vision. Finding Better Bolder Braver made it feel as though a door had been opened to another world for Kieran. He met people he loved, formed deep friendships, collaborated, get clearer on his coaching offering and became less attached to the idea of what it is to market oneself as a coach. Kieran is now working for that very community as a Mentor, alongside his friend and fellow community old-timer, Ellie Lloyd-Jones . Both felt that that they wanted to offer their expertise and lived experience back to the others with whom they share this inspriing space. On this podcast episode, Kieran and Ellie chat about their plans for a new offering in the BBB community. Their new sessions - 'Know Yourself' and 'Show Yourself' - will run alongside the existing curriculum, and will give space for members to explore the depth and breadth of what it is to put ourselves out there – emotionally and practically.…

Thomas Kolster's 'Zone of Genius' is where marketing, business and sustainability meet. He continuously challenges the status-quo with his vocal, and often provocative, views on values, purpose, and leadership. "In an over-crowded do-good market," he says, "people don’t buy your values or your “why”, but rather who you can help them become... Change begins with you!" We are looking forward to talking to Thomas, a dear member of our ‘Marketing Family’, about how the pressure of being a global citizen can be both exciting and inspiring, and can also feel overwhelming. We want to inspire coaches to get over their fear of putting themselves out there in favour of focusing on the bigger picture system change they might affect, one client at a time. And at the same time, we recognise that feeling that you need a "value", a "purpose" and a "why" can be tricky in itself... Learn more about Thomas: https://thomaskolster.com/masterclass…

Work / Work Balance with Steven Fogel 1:01:46

2 years тому1:01:46

1:01:46

What connects Property Law to the BBC, Freud to Modern Dance, Classical Music to Swimming in Swiss Lakes, Film Production to Music Festivals and the National Garden Scheme to Venice Biennale. My Dad... I talk a lot about what I call a "work/work" balance (as opposed to the well known concept of the work/life balance). Coaches - in particular - are very likely to have chosen to move into the coaching space as a way not only to help others flourish, but because the attraction of a more independent, entrepreneurial, creative and joyful work life are very attractive to them. They may class themselves as having reached their "midlife", see themselves on a " Second Mountain ", be disillusioned by the corporate world, by being beholden to the 9-5 structure of time, or just bored of the rat race... Covid and Working From Home have helped us all reconsider our options. But bills need to be paid. And when you are just starting out as a coach, getting clients can be tough. So sometimes we need to do other work to supplement our income. AND, when we have a unique blend of work practices going on, it can really help to make us stand out... as long as we are able to speak to why the various hats we wear make us an Authority, have Empathy, and have an interesting Story enough that people want to work with us, employ us, appoint us or ask us for our help. My father is Steven Fogel . I am going to be interviewing him on Thursday 20th October about his life. He has had "a lucky discovery that left him feeling happier and more fulfilled."

Content and Social Media Support with Kate Clarke 57:06

Does the thought of creating content and fiddling with Canva for hours on end fill you with utter dread? Want to get ahead and be confident your content is taken care of so you can take a week off without worrying about posting on social media? Kate Clarke wants to take away the pain, and do the hard work for you. But how do we know what marketing is important for us to do ourselves? How does retaining control of it makes us feel more in control of our businesses and our lives?? At Better Bolder Braver, we encourage coaches to - on the whole - not “outsource” their marketing. We see marketing as Another Self Growth Opportunity - by thinking about what you want to say to the world, you have an opportunity to hold a mirror up to yourself and Coach Out Loud… show your approach to how you come from a place of Empathy, Authority and with a personal Story that makes you stand out and be qualified to help your ideal client. AND creating and repurposing content can feel like being on a “hamster wheel” as Kate calls it. Once you have decided what to say, who says asking for some help to get it out there isn’t a very intelligent business decision? Kate Clarke helps people get their messages onto social media.

Abe is co-founder and CEO of Ruzuku, an easy-to-use online course platform for entrepreneurs, authors, coaches, and small businesses. He helps authors, coaches, speakers and other independent experts create their own online courses and learning communities. His mission in life is to make it ridiculously easy for bloggers, authors, coaches, speakers and other passionate experts to create engaging online courses and learning communities. Ruzuku has hosted more than 75,000 courses serving over half a million students around the world. Abe specializes in learning design and user experience research, and earned his Ph.D. in human-computer interaction at UNC-Chapel Hill. He is an adjunct professor in the School of Education at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he teaches seminars on educational innovation. Abe says, "Ruzuku was built from the ground up with a focus on streamlining the course creation process. Experts want to share their passion and expertise, but technical hurdles and cumbersome tools can make this difficult." In the Better Bolder Braver community, we are on a mission to help coaches create products and services that stand out and support their own mission to help their ideal clients, whilst not burning out or over-extending themselves... to help them streamline their marketing and share their expertise so that people understand quickly what the value of working with them is. A coaching programme is a great way to engage potential clients and create meaningful experiences for them. They can also be a great way of disseminating information and conducting group coaching. But are they all they are cut out to be? Are we at risk - when creating course material - of reinventing a wheel that has been engineered many times by others? How can we make our lives easier, help as many people as we can, be true to our values, mindful of our limits, still be really creative and keep up with the Joneses?

Coaches often want fast results and turn to marketing to get them. However, for fast results, marketing isn’t the right tool for the job. There are a lot of people who will argue that it is. And the same people are often happy to take your money to help you get these fast results. The results they’re offering are traffic, clicks or ‘engagement’. But does this really translate to new clients? And if the ‘result’ (fast or otherwise) or your marketing isn’t a new client, is it really a result? This episode will show you how to get the results you really want.…

How do I get coaching clients FAST? 4:39

3 years тому4:39

Every coach has been there – especially when you’re just starting out: you need clients, and the quicker the better. At least, that’s how it feels. So, how do you attract people to work with you? You could use Facebook or Google Ads to put your offer in front of a wide audience in the hope that they feel like signing up for some coaching. You could pay someone to send lots of LinkedIn messages on your behalf and hope that of the 1-2% of people who reply, at least some decide to click ‘buy’. There’s no shortage of quick ways to advertise. Although it will cost you money before you make any money – catch-22. So is there another way of attracting coaching clients without spending money on Ads? Yes there is and this episode will show you how.…

How do I advertise my coaching business? 7:38

When coaches ask “How do I advertise my coaching business?” the tried, trusted (and tired) answers are: SEO, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Squeeze pages, set up a marketing funnel, or my favourite, a baffling combination of all of these presented as if it’s some kind of Secret Formula™ for success! I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you don’t need any of this. In fact, I’ll go further and say, I can’t tell you what you “need” or “should be doing”. What I can and will do in this episode is show you how you can start to put your coaching business out there without the need for what you might be thinking of as “advertising”.…

Connecting Dots with Anya Pearse 1:03:51

3 years тому1:03:51

1:03:51

Anya Pearse is like the mobile libraries of our childhood. You would look forward to it arriving and be welcomed in with open arms to a cave of wonders filled with exciting and nourishing resources to cosy up with. She is the first to have a reassuringly apt reference in any conversation - be it a book, an article, a podcast, a poem… she can contextualise our experience in any moment within a wide world of others' experiences, reflections and wisdom - which is hugely comforting, inspiring and humbling. If we “read to know we are not alone”, Anya compassionately shares what she’s discovered to help us feel this directly. As a child herself she was “baffled, yet intrigued” by the behaviour of those around her, and now combines a researcher’s curiosity, a poet’s turn of phrase, and a comedian’s sense of timing to help those she encounters gain insight and compassion into what they do. She is no stranger to tricky times, having lived with a disabling chronic illness for 16 years; reimagining it as her spiritual path helps her to bring a particular kind of hard-won grace, wisdom and empathy into her work. The Head of Positive Psychology at The Museum of Happiness , where she co-facilitates their Certified Happiness Facilitator Training , she is an intuitive adviser, and Fellow of the Positive Psychology Guild . She consolidates her interest in “the science of what makes life worth living” with an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, focusing on the concept of “self-as-instrument” – how our own qualities of attention, openness and presence impact others and create our first intervention. Anya invites us to consider patterns, meaning and connection within ourselves and the universe to which we may previously have been blind: “Dots can be connected, allowing patterns to appear. Clarity and new ideas start to flow.” As a coach, you too are a treasure trove of magic for your clients. And you can show up with it through bringing resources, energy, compassion and inspiration into your marketing as well as into your coaching practice. We will be talking to Anya about what it is to bring our full selves to our interactions - and interventions - to creative moments between two people. On the surface, this Marketing Masterclass is about (repurposing) content, resources and showing that you are the best guide for your ideal client. Underneath, this time with Anya will be a mind-expanding dance with joy, a celebration of the self and about how to take things slowly...…

Move your marketing from conversions to conversations 5:57

3 years тому5:57

Most marketing advice for coaches doesn’t work. Why? Because the Holy Grail of traditional marketing strategies is the conversion. And as a coach, conversions are not what you’re chasing. You’re not selling vacuum cleaners, or water bottles, or any other ‘disposable’ product or service. Conversions are not your focus. The heart of the coach’s marketing journey isn’t the ‘sale’ at the end of it, it’s the conversation that takes place between you and the prospective client. You’re not just chasing a sale, you’re looking for the right sale, to the right client… and that requires a conversation, an exchange with someone who resonates with what you do and sees the value in the outcome, feeling or insight that you’ll guide them to. So, how can you shift your marketing mindset? How do you wean yourself off the conversion drive and focus on creating opportunities for conversations instead? We have a few ideas……

Repurposing marketing content for coaches 6:06

Not everyone learns in the same way. As a coach marketing their services, seeking to showcase your expertise and reliability to a target market, you can’t afford to ignore the fact that how people like to absorb information differs, according to one of four broad preferences. Why is this a potential problem? Because if you always market the same way, using the same method (the one you’re most comfortable with, no doubt) you’re only engaging a fraction of your potential audience. But don’t worry, reaching more people, broadening your appeal, isn’t a huge or complicated task……
