Hello, Magnificent Coaches!

My guest is the delightful Ellie Jacques-Capon, of
www.joyhappenscoaching.com. She works with creatives of
all sorts, coaches, entrepreneurs, artists; looking to take their
lives to the next grander vision of themselves.

In building her own coaching practice, Ellie is clear about
one thing: she doesn't want to use public speaking as a
lead-generating tool. Here's her perspective, in her own
words:

"I don't mind speaking in public and can really enjoy it
but it doesn't feel like the right path for me at this time.
I want to take advantage of the technology available to us
and get clients from different areas outside of mine."

So, she asks....

1. How do I attract clients without public speaking?

2. How do I build my email list?

3. If you had to name the top 3 most effective outlets for building
your business without public speaking OR spending tons of money,
what would they be?

4. What are 3 things that you know now that you wish you knew
when you started?

5. What are the biggest obstacles that coaches face when building their
businesses in this way?

6. What do clients need to experience on a website, etc, in order to
experience the coach? IE, what stage needs to be set in order to let
them experience the coach enough to want to work with them?

If you're like Ellie, and know that public speaking isn't your "inspired
action," then listen in to our conversation.

Those of you interested in using public speaking as a lead-gen tool,
check out a K-Cast from May 1st, 2007, "Using Speaking Engagements
in Practice Development."

Hello, Magnificent Coaches!

This first K-Cast for June is truly exciting. My guest is GinaMaria
Jerome, of The Leadership Guild. GinaMaria is a communication
expert who knows how to use the right words to create breakthrough
results. Her unique blend of leadership, transformation, and
marketing has yielded remarkable results for her clients.

A prolific writer, she has published over 250 articles and three
books. Her latest book, entitled The American Dream: A Tale of

Her K-Cast interview questions are especially timely:

1. Has leadership failed us?

2. What steps are needed to heal the damage that has been caused by
recent events, and restore our faith and trust in leadership?

3. What challenges will leaders face now and what role will coaches
play in helping leaders with these challenges?

4. What skills will leaders need to succeed?

5. As leaders step into these new roles as collaborators and
coaches, what mistakes do they need to avoid?

6. What can coaches do to re-empower working people who
have lost trust in the system to restore their creativity and
ingenuity?

7. Lastly, what good things have come out of this?

When you're done listening, be sure to leave a comment. The

Until next time!
