• Do you want to position yourself as the go-to expert in your field and generate real revenue with your business? Schedule a 90-min strategy session

If you are a coach or a consultant, it is time to address the big elephant in the room:   When you tell people what you do, do you often feel they are checking out of the conversation or, worse, secretly rolling their eyes? It is painful to admit but unfortunately all too common. There are many reasons for this reaction, but the good news is that you can change it! Coaching is a tool, not a business.   In this episode, I share with you how to stand out from the crowd, change people’s perception of your work, and consistently attract your ideal clients with your coaching or consulting business. 

What you will learn:

• Why coaches and consultants are often not taken seriously and struggle to make real money with their business. 
• What you should do differently to stand out from the crowd and sell your services effectively. 
• Real-life examples from my clients who managed to position themselves as the go-to expert in their field and turn those rolling eyes into sparkling eyes, eager to know more.
