There’s a huge myth in the coaching industry that makes it hard for coaches, especially new coaches, to attract and secure new clients.
Want to know what it is?
The MYTH is that people really want COACHING.
The TRUTH is that people really want SOLUTIONS to their problems.
The fact is, the percentage of people who know what coaching is, recognize the value and actively seek it out is actually quite small.
On the flip side, there is a huge percentage of people who would benefit from and invest in coaching, when it’s positioned the right way.
Let me ask you a question…
When you talk about and market your services, do you focus on the coaching?
Do you emphasize how powerful and transformational coaching is, how your coaching methodology works and the logistics of the coaching relationship?
Do you use vague language (coaching helps people get to the next level) or industry jargon (coaching empowers people to find their own answers)?
If so, I bet you’re not consistently attracting as many new clients as you would like and that marketing feels like a struggle.
The good news is that you can change this quite easily by focusing on the problems and challenges people have and the solutions, results and outcomes that are possible by working with you.
The majority of people are not walking around thinking, “I want to hire a coach.”
Instead, they are thinking about solving their urgent, top of mind problems, like…
“I’m unhappy at work and need to find a new career that I actually enjoy.”
“The new manager I hired isn’t connecting with the team and I don’t know what to do about it.”
“I’m sick of being overweight, out of shape and not having energy.”
“I’ve got to figure out how to stop procrastinating and get more organized and productive.”
“I’m stressed out, overwhelmed and feel completely disconnected from my spouse and family.”
“My business isn’t growing and I need to get more clients, but I don’t know what to do.”
“I’m tired of being single and going on bad dates. How can I find the one?”
Remember, people are much more interested in THEIR problems than your coaching.
That’s why you want to position your coaching as the best way to solve big problems or achieve specific outcomes. When you do this, people pay attention and are interested in learning more about what you offer.
Make sense?

“During the Group Coaching Success program I started a year long coaching group for former clients. I also created 2 other group programs and a weekend workshop that will happen in the next few months. Thank you Michelle for this inspiring program and to all the other participants for their helpful feedback.”
“Michelle, I continue to benefit from the training I received from C&GR – my company made a six-figure profit last year, and is on target to multiply those results again this year!”
“Before getting the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system I was not even coaching anyone but after I met Michelle at workshop in San Diego I decided to buy it and try it out. The program has a lot of great material that helped me wrap my head around what I was doing and get clearer on my goals. I’m really looking forward to going through the course again and use the material more since I’m really trying to launch my business this year. Michelle’s program helped me to take the first big step – starting my coaching business! I already developed my first website and had the confidence to do it. Now I’m working on starting a group. After going through the program I gained confidence that I can actually do this simply by seeing that so many other people at different levels are currently doing it as well. In the past I was getting stuck at times because I always want to do everything perfectly but now I know that it was holding me back! This is definitely my year!”
