At the heart of every Kids Life Coaching business is the connection between coach and client. Unlike adult coaching, the client is actually the child although the parent is paying. This means that you need to develop a unique triangulation of support with the whole family. This profound relationship is the foundation upon which transformation occurs. It's not about employing the fanciest techniques; it's about genuinely understanding, empathizing with, and supporting your clients - both the child and the parent. The magic lies in being fully present, actively listening, and providing a safe space to explore their potential and challenges and to map out a unique plan of action.
So I have a question for you....Why did you choose to become a coach?
I believe that revisiting your purpose can illuminate your path forward and reignite your passion if perhaps it has been dwindling of late. A clear sense of why you do what you do not only motivates you but also attracts clients who resonate with your mission. If you have already done my Kids Life Coach Certification, you would have heard me say that I believe each one of us is an expert in our own niche based on our unique experiences. Your purpose is your compass, guiding your decisions and helping you navigate through the noise towards what truly matters. This is why focusing on what makes your heart skip a beat is so important - being a jack of all trades and a master of none is never a sustainable way to build your coaching practice.
Once you have decided on what area you would like to focus on, it becomes really easy to market yourself. Your message will be clearer and your clarity will be spot on and your consistency in speaking this out loud will bring you clients! In a world that constantly chases after the latest trends, consistency is a rare and valuable commodity. Consistency in your message, your values, and your delivery builds trust and credibility in your local community. It's not about reinventing the wheel with every client or every session; it's about refining your core methods and consistently delivering results. This reliability is what clients will remember and what will encourage them to refer others to you. This is why our global network of Kids Life Studio® coaches consistently get results...it is because they consistently use our Play Based Coaching System® that gets measurable and sustainable results.
Sometimes the excuse I hear when coaches are failing to get new clients is that they don't know enough. What they are really saying is that they just aren't confident enough. This is why our Premium Kids Life Coach Training package offers dedicated group and individual mentorship to sharpen your mindset and build your confidence not only coaching children, but in running your successful coaching business. This is a winning formula and I have seen it time and again...those that choose to fly solo...end up being solo! They struggle to get clients and they have failure to launch.
Before chasing after advanced techniques and new models and gaining new skills, ask yourself: Have I mastered the fundamentals and do I have the theoretical knowledge of the psychology of childhood in place?
Deep knowledge and skillful application of basic Play Based Coaching® principles are far more valuable than a superficial understanding of a wide array of techniques. Mastery comes from practice, reflection, and a commitment to continuous learning. Focus on becoming exceptional at the core aspects of coaching children, and you'll find that these basics are often all you need to make a significant impact.
The secret to winning is easier than you think! In a saturated market, authenticity sets you apart. Being true to yourself and your unique Play Based Coaching® style attracts clients who appreciate and seek what you uniquely offer. Authenticity fosters trust and relatability, encouraging your coachee to open up and engage more deeply in their coaching process. Embrace your unique qualities and let them shine through in your coaching practice.
Simplification doesn't mean taking the easy route; it means focusing on what's essential and eliminating distractions. By simplifying your processes, your offerings, and even your marketing strategies, you create space to amplify the impact of your work. Simplification allows you to concentrate on delivering value, improving your skills, and deepening client relationships.
The journey to growing a successful coaching business doesn't have to be complicated. By returning to the basics—fostering connections, clarifying your purpose, valuing consistency, mastering fundamentals, and embracing authenticity—you can build a strong, sustainable Kids Life Coaching practice. The secret to getting ahead in your coaching business lies not in chasing after complexity but in appreciating and honing the simplicity at the core of Play Based Coaching®. Remember, it's the simple things done exceptionally well that make the biggest difference.
Wishing you well as you embark on unveiling simplicity in your kids life coaching business. Remember the secret to winning is easier than you think and it is all about you showing up as authentically YOU!
