Last week, a potential client asked this question in the middle of an enrollment coversation:
“Why do I need a coach?”
It could easily be every coach’s nightmare question.
Why should they hire you?
When they can use an AI like FreshSeeing to facilitate insights. When they can talk to a friend. When they can access the answers to any question with the click of a button.
I loved this question because it was real. And also because when I don’t have a ready answer, I get to look fresh and see what’s there for me now.
Here’s what came…
Short answer:
You don’t need a coach.
Coaching isn’t a necessity for anyone. Unlike food or shelter, you won’t die without it, and neither will your business. (The shock! The horror!)
Imagine you walk into a hot tub sales place and choose the features you really want, without settling.
You don’t buy it because you need it.
You buy it because you want it. Because it facilitates the experience you really want.
So that’s a reason to hire a coach – not just me, any coach.
The support of a coach can be an instrumental part of building the life and business you want.
A space for reflection to hear yourself think out loud.
A provocateur who asks questions that open up new perspectives.
A loving presence to catalyze insight.
So you don’t need a coach. But you probably know if you want one.
If you do, and you like my vibe…
Let’s have a chat. Get to know each other. Tell me what you want, and I’ll tell you if I think I can help.
No pitches or BS. Just listening and connection. And you knowing what you really want to do.
Yours in love and play,
Steph 🐲❤️🔥
