Q

What is true behavior change (aka habit change)?

A

It is really identity change because with every behavior, you are casting a vote for who you want to be.
If you simply identify a client’s wants and their obstacles and remove the obstacles, this is only temporary and they will not have real transformation.

You want them to go from a “have to” to a “get to”.

Q

How can a coach make sessions into “experiences”?

A

You don’t want to just “give” information. You want to “create” an experience. Knowledge or information does not create habit change. Experience or embodying a new learning does create habit change.

A

An invitation to continue working with the coach that feels like the natural desire. The invitation naturally opens the door for the client to renew the program because they desire more of the experience either with the same program or with another program the coach has to offer.

39
Q

What is the Opening The Relationship or OTR?

A

It is the initial conversation you have with a potential client to determine if they are a good fit to work with.

It’s the most important initial interaction between the coach and client because it’s the client that decides that they want to take action to work with you and invest in your program.

The coach must master the art of HELPING a prospective client to make a decision and take action.

40
Q

Why is the OTR not about selling?

A

It’s a powerful coaching conversation with a very specific coaching question sequence that:
-Opens up possibilities, choices, and resources for the potential client to reach what they want
-Helps the potential client make a decision and take an action one way or another.

41
Q

What is a mistake that coaches make with the OTR?

A

The consider it like a regular coaching session and make recommendations or give action steps when they are not even a paying client yet.

42
Q

What are the 3 specific goals of the OTR?

A
  1. To uncover where the prospective client is right now with their health or their life.
  2. To uncover where they want to be instead.
  3. To uncover what the best pathway is to travel between the two; their personal journey

The coach has to uncover their WHY underneath the WHY and address underlying reasons why they don’t already have the results they want (what’s stopping them, slowing the down, or keeping them back)

43
Q

How with the OTR help the coach?

A

It will get them on the client’s map
Create rapport
Help the client connect to their emotions around what they want (part of the WHY)
Inspire the potential client to make a decision and take action

44
Q

How does the OTR help the potential client?

A

It helps to empower them to get out of their own way and say YES to the changes that are about to occur and will continue to occur for the rest of their lives.

45
Q

Why is it important to know how to DESCRIBE your OTR conversation?

A

It will be the difference between a prospective client showing up eager and excited or not showing up at all.
It basically determines whether or not you’ll get clients.

46
Q

What is the first step in describing a compelling OTR?

A

Give it a “results-based” title which tells the client what is in it for them so they are motivated to show up, instead of just it being a “health history” or “getting to know you session”.

The title should convey some kind of value, a focused topic for discussion that makes the client less nervous to talk with the coach, and pre-qualifies the ideal client.

47
Q

Why should the OTR title match the program title?

A

Chances are if the client is interested in the OTR title they are not only a good match for the OTR, but also for the program. You don’t want to attract the wrong client, thus wasting time for both the client and the coach.

48
Q

Where can you find sample OTR title & Program titles?

A
