In this episode of Deep Dive Dialogues, I dive into a powerful framework for creating meaningful connections with potential clients— through my application of The Prosperous Coach Approach. Based on the book by Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin “The Prosperous Coach”, this approach is all about connecting deeply, offering value without pressure, and creating authentic client relationships through genuine conversations. I share a bit about my personal journey with this approach, which shifted my coaching practice from traditional “selling” to serving and engaging from a place of curiosity.
If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable with the idea of “selling” in your coaching practice, this episode will introduce you to a way of building a thriving business that feels authentic and pressure-free. I break down each key step of The Prosperous Coach Approach, including:
Connect – Engaging in real conversations with people you genuinely want to connect with.
Invite – Making simple, heartfelt invitations for powerful conversations without feeling pushy.
Create – Creating clients by showing them what you can do, rather than telling.
Propose – Making confident proposals to clients who are ready for the transformation coaching offers.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why authentic connections often lead to the best coaching relationships.
Practical strategies for starting genuine conversations, including 8 powerful conversation starters.
The importance of “micro-connections” and small, meaningful gestures that help nurture relationships over time.
How to offer value first, building trust and allowing clients to experience your expertise without obligation.
When and how to make a simple, natural invitation to a coaching conversation.
I also share some real-life examples illustrating how these connections can turn into thriving, impactful coaching relationships.
Challenge of the Week
