With so many amazing people helping others achieve their dreams, how do you stand out from the crowd?
Why Being Unique Matters
Think about your favorite coach or mentor. What made them unforgettable? Maybe they had a unique way of explaining things, or they always knew just the right questions to ask. That’s what being unique is all about!
When you’re different, clients remember you. It’s like being the coach who always uses superhero stories to explain leadership – people never forget that!
Creative Ways to Stand Out
Share Your Journey Story
Every coach has a path that led them here. Maybe you switched careers after 20 years, or you overcame big challenges yourself. Share that story – clients connect with real experiences that show them you understand their journey. Share the good and the bad parts of your journey. Your audience will relate to the bad parts, especially if they are going through the same thing themselves. Knowing that there is hope in overcoming these challenges will resonate with them on a deeper level.
Create Your Special Coaching Style
Being extra personal in your approach makes all the difference! Maybe you:
- Do walking coaching sessions in nature
- Use fun card decks for brainstorming (You can even create your own personalized card deck!)
- Start each session with a quick meditation
- Send voice notes between sessions
- Create special names for your coaching methods
Make Your Client Experience Unique
Think about ways to make working with you feel special:
- Send welcome packages with inspiration cards
- Create custom celebration rituals for client wins
- Design unique homework exercises
- Record special birthday messages for clients
Really Listen to Your Clients
Ask for feedback after every session. What helped them most? What made them feel supported? When clients feel heard, they become your biggest cheerleaders and send new clients your way!
Why This Works
In a world where many coaches offer similar services, being different helps potential clients choose YOU. It’s like being the only coach who uses cooking metaphors to explain business growth – people remember that!
Simple Steps to Start Being Different Today
- Make a list of all the things that make your coaching style special
- Ask your favorite clients what they love most about working with you
- Think about your own quirks and how they could make your coaching better
- Pick one unique thing to use in your next session or in your marketing
Remember, you don’t have to change everything at once. Start small! Maybe begin with adding a fun check-in ritual to your sessions or creating clever names for your coaching tools.
The Best Part
Being different is actually easier than trying to coach like everyone else. Why? Because you just get to be yourself! You don’t have to copy other coaches’ styles; you already have everything you need to be amazing. Don’t be a “mini me.” The world needs your true, authentic self.
Your Turn!
What makes your coaching special? Don’t be shy about it! Maybe you’re great at explaining tough ideas with simple stories, or you have a knack for making clients feel really comfortable. Those unique touches are your coaching superpower!
In a world full of traditional coaching calls, be the coach who helps clients find answers while walking in nature or drawing pictures! (Or whatever feels true to you!)
Keep being your awesome coaching self! 😊
Key tips to remember:
- Your personality is your coaching superpower
- Small unique touches make big impressions
- Having fun while coaching helps clients learn better
- Authentic connections create lasting client relationships
- Your different approach might be exactly what someone needs
