    13 - The challenge of visibility for executive coaches

    We are opening doors to the Impact Coach Collective for a short time in May and during our launch week I am offering a free Masterclass on the 8 Foundations of a Thriving Executive Coaching Business - if this sounds interesting you can register at www.elliescarf.com/8foundations 

    This episode is about visibility. By nature, and by training, many coaches find visibility a very challenging topic, which often manifests in avoiding doing many of the marketing activities we know we need to do to grow our businesses. In this episode I share why I think coaches are so troubled by this topic, my experience of this subject and a step by step guide to gradually increasing your comfort with visibility on LinkedIn. There is nothing like exposure therapy!

    First up in this episode I share that I am offering a free Masterclass on the 8 Foundations of a Thriving Executive Coaching Business - if this is of interest, register at www.elliescarf.com/8foundations 

    This episode, all about the most frequent questions I get asked about LinkedIn was prompted by the fact that a good amount of all the questions people ask me (members of my paid mentoring and education community and other folks) are about LinkedIn.

    In this episode I answer the questions:


    Should I be posting from my personal account or my business account?
    Should I get LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator?
    How often should I post?
    Is there a 'best' time of day to post?
    What should I post?
    What should I avoid in my LinkedIn posts?

    I hope this is of interest - please let me know what other questions you have!

    9 - If not time for money, then what? Scaling for coaches.

    9 - If not time for money, then what? Scaling for coaches.

    Maybe this is a bit of an advanced episode, but I think it is sensible for all business owners to be thinking about the offer suite. Part of that thinking may include thinking about offers that scale, because let's be frank - coaching is wonderful work, but you are limited by the time that you have available. 

    There are however, scalable offers that you may want to consider having in your toolkit. In this episode I share 5 of them, including a little about what it is, how you could use it and a few 'bewares' while i'm at it. 

    If you are interested in building a digital course, take a look at Tina Tower's programme. She breaks down the steps to build and market the course in her course Idea to Launch - you can check it out here.

    I build my course on Kajabi - it is a great one stop shop for website, course hosting, email platform and more. Check it out here.

    8 - A case for metrics for coaches

     

    Love them or hate them, as business owners, we need to track our metrics. Or do we?

    In this episode I talk about why I think metrics are important (even if I don't love them!), what specifically coaching business owners should be tracking, what to watch out for when it comes to metrics and how to get started now so you can look back in 6 months and see the progress you have made!
