Irish Tech News’ Post

The hardest thing I have ever done in my career was... Deciding that I wanted to be a coach and work with business owners one-on-one. I resisted doing this for years because I allowed the idea to terrify me. I was a successful keynote speaker; I loved and excelled at it.  I'd convince myself to stay focused on that and that alone: fill your schedule, write your blogs and posts, and keep learning. The thing is, this wasn't a horrible plan.   📍But then someone who had seen me speak would call in and talk to me, and of course, I'd help them.  And I didn't just help them; I generously helped them. I'd spend an hour or more with them and send them my speaking notes and anything else I had that would help, but never an invoice.  I enjoyed it. I have saved more business owners from bad decisions than you would believe.  I have counseled more people on what to do with their careers, problems, or ideas than I can remember a couple a week for 30 years. I'm too lazy to do the math. The idea of being a coach terrified me because it's emotional work.  📍I knew I'd have to be very organized, committed to bringing my best, willing to use new technology, and, most importantly, experience feeling like an amateur again. But I couldn't deny that the calls were a lot of fun. I loved helping people see the light, and having been there before, I knew that I'd only feel unsure for a little while. I knew that I could get better. I started slowly, working with one person, then two people, then three people, just enough to learn, not enough to get burned. Working with only a handful of clients made it much easier to deliver excellent service and create an even better experience. ✨ There were bumps along the way, but because I worked with so few clients, they were easy to fix. Take the road less traveled. It makes all the difference.  #businesscoach #businessowners #businessadvice

Hi Coach, How often do we find ourselves jumping straight into advice-giving mode with our clients? It's almost second nature for us as coaches, isn't it? But here's the thing—when we leap into offering solutions without first digging deeper, we might miss the mark entirely. In this video, I share a simple yet powerful shift that can transform your client conversations. Instead of rushing to provide advice, I asked a series of questions that allowed my client to reflect and clarify their true challenge. The result? The advice I eventually gave was not just heard—it was valued and acted upon. This approach solves the problem of wasted words and misunderstood intentions. It empowers our clients to think critically, leading to deeper insights and stronger outcomes. When we stop ourselves from being the immediate problem-solvers and instead guide our clients to uncover their own clarity, we not only enhance the quality of our advice but also elevate our role as authoritative coaches. Implement this in your next session and see the difference it makes. #CriticalClientConversations 🗣️ 👀 Chris

Your Coaching Empire is Crumbling (and Your Inbox is the Smoking Gun) Attention Coaches: If your emails are collecting digital dust in inboxes, your coaching business is on life support. Let’s face it—all your brilliant insights and life-changing strategies are irrelevant if they’re not being read. Here's why your open rates are tanking and what you can do to fix it—NOW. →Your Subject Lines Are Weak. Cute, clever, and downright dull subject lines won't cut it. You need to provoke curiosity and urgency. Instead of “Newsletter #37,” try “5 Proven Secrets to Double Your Clientele Overnight.” That’s how you get attention. →You’re Treating Your List Like Family. Spoiler alert: They’re not. If you’re not segmenting your audience, you’re missing the mark. New clients need different content than your seasoned pros. Failing to customize is a sure-fire way to fade into obscurity. →Your Timing is a Disaster. Sending emails on a whim? Amateur hour. Test, track, and send when your audience is actually looking at their inboxes. It’s not rocket science, but it does require you to pay attention. →Your List is a Graveyard. Every dead email address you have drags down your sender reputation. Clean house, and do it regularly. A healthy list is a lucrative list. →You’re Squandering Valuable Space. That preview text isn’t just fluff; it’s a golden opportunity. Use it wisely, or kiss your opens goodbye. If you address these five critical errors, your open rates will skyrocket. More opens equal more eyes on your offers, more attendees at your seminars, and ultimately, more money in your bank account. Ignore this advice at your peril—your competitors certainly won’t. ♻️ Repost it to wake up your network. They need to hear this! __ P.S Have a killer subject line? Share it in the comments. Let's see who’s really making the effort! ___ P.P.S. Just like conquering Snowdon, reaching your business goals doesn’t have to be complicated—one step at a time gets you to the top! 🏔️ What’s the biggest mountain you’re climbing this year? Let’s chat about it in the comments!

You're not making the income you desire, because you speak to everyone that you *COULD* help. You're speaking at your dream clients, instead of to them in a way that *lands* for them (shift the language in a way they would explain to you what they go through). Yesterday I was on a private coaching call & here's what we did: 1️⃣ We got clear on who she's speaking at & we shifted her messaging from *generic* to laser-focused language of her ideal dream clients. I applied my Micro-Celebrity Framework to tweak micro-details, so the ideal client would feel called to reach out. 2️⃣ We got clear on her ideal business model (her ideal average day, work hours, way of delivery to bring in structure) The first step before building out her offer suite, was to get clear HOW she wanted to experience her work inside her coaching containers. We shifted her current beliefs around her coaching containers & service. We digged into what she felt she *needed* to do to make a certain income. We shifted them. 👉🏻 So we could match the messaging, offer suite & systems around her ideal lifestyle. She is a genius in what she does. But her messaging was not *activating her ideal clients* to buy. So we specifically digged into what her clients wanted and how to position her offer as the solution. So she can deliver the offer in a unique way that no one else in the industry is doing. This same process helped another client of mine to 5x her income in 1 month of VIP Intensive with me. If you desire to 3x your current income & fill the gaps between your offers/content frameworks to make daily 4-5 fig 💸 👑 I'm running my 30 days VIP Intensive that also includes my signature program Micro-Celebrity that teaches you my entire content conversion frameworks (micro-messaging). 
There are different options to work with me.

I gave away a private coaching call (with my clients) for free. Last week, I was brainstorming content ideas with my business partner. She suggested, “Why not show people how good our program is by giving them access to one of our coaching calls?” My response: Great idea! That is exactly what I did. Every single week, I jump on live coaching calls with clients and teach them the strategies they need to get clients from LinkedIn. Last week, My coaching call focussed on 3 things: 1. What to do every day to get clients from LinkedIn. 2. How to handle objections when speaking with potential buyers. 3. How to do upsells and downsells with their offers. This is a full-value call that is reserved for my paid clients. But to show you what working with me looks like, I made it available for free. Make sure to watch this video & Apply the strategy for yourself. Here is the link to watch: https://lnkd.in/eEnq7Hyt
