Free ‘Train your brain to think positive’ coaching mini activity

Transcript

Hi Coaches! Let’s talk about how you can grow your email list without creating a lead magnet all by yourself from scratch.

I have helped thousands of coaches launch their own lead magnets and products.

And today, I’m going to share my free lead magnet which you can use to grow your list.

The free lead magnet I have is called ‘Train your mind to think positive’ Mini-activity. You can download it for free below.

It’s 8 pages in length including the cover page and back page.

And the objective is to give your clients a quick mindset transformation from negative to positive.

Giving quick wins is the point for any lead magnet.

I’ve included 3 common challenging scenarios to this 8-page activity. Your clients are encouraged to reflect and train their minds to look for the positive lining in all 3 scenarios.

If this is helpful for your business, you can download the 8-page free lead magnet below.

If this free lead magnet helps your business and if it feels aligned to you, you are free to send me a tip of any amount you want.

This will encourage me to create more free coaching tools for your business, using my counselling experience. 🤍

Also, while most coaches can grow their list with my free lead magnets, you can also go one step further and check out my Emotional Intelligence done-for-you workshop which you can record and sell to your audience to make income more passively.

Creating a workshop is time-consuming but once it’s done, you can sell it over and over again on evergreen on your website.

If you want to launch and sell your own emotional intelligence workshop ASAP, you can get this done-for-you workshop and you are ready to go.

Meanwhile, blessings and take care.

How to Create a Self-Care Plan for your Coaching Clients (with Free Self-Care Assessment Template)

If your clients are like most people, they can intuitively sense when their self-care is out of balance, but may not know how to start their self-care habits in an effective manner.

This confusion, coupled with a busy or demanding lifestyle, can equate to them procrastinating any form of self-care until something more dire happens - such as burnout or becoming unwell.

Creating a personalised self-care plan tailored to their needs is the first step they can take to feel empowered, reduce stress and possibly prevent burnout.

If you want a step-by-step outline on how you can create a self-care plan for your coaching clients, you may want to continue reading.

Step 1 : A self-care assessment or self-care audit

This step is crucial because it highlights the specific self-care needs which may have been unintentionally neglected whilst your clients are busy pursuing their goals.

Creating an assessment of any kind can be a daunting task even for experienced coaches as it requires thorough thought and insight.

I have used my insight and experience derived as a former counsellor to help create a 25-question self-care assessment for you.

Use this self-care assessment template during coaching sessions or even as a free opt-in freebie for your coaching blog (to get more subscribers).

Step 2 : Create self-care goals for each self-care category (there are 5 main categories)

Goals should ideally be specific and realistic. After completing this free assessment, you can then nudge your clients to create 3 self-care goals for each of these categories :

• physical self-care

• emotional self-care

• spiritual self-care

• social self-care and

• mental self-care

Step 3 : Create a personalised Self Care Menu

A self-care menu is a fun spin to simply creating a list of their favourite self-care activities.

Your clients’ Self-care Menu can be in the form of a mindmap, a table, a calendar or a simple bullet-point list if they prefer a minimalist style.

This Self-care Menu should ideally include at least 20 activities which offer mental peace, joy, relief or a feeling of expansiveness and gratitude to them.

This Menu should be personalised to their needs and if they need ideas, they can choose to reflect on activities they have done in the past which offer them feelings associated with self-care.

Examples include spending time with supportive people, introspective activities such as journaling, participating in active meditations or going for therapy.

Step 4 : Intentionally schedule activities from the Self Care Menu into a weekly planner

Some of us have the perception that self-care activities do not need to be scheduled. I beg to differ.

When your clients schedule self-care activities into their week, they have a higher chance of committing to them.

This is especially true if they have a demanding career or a fast-paced lifestyle. Their self-care needs may just fall to the wayside in favour of more ‘productive’ work-related activities or they may choose easy, passive activities such as bingeing on a TV series.

You may want to encourage them to schedule self-care activities which actually enrich their lives, bring them joy, energise them mentally and emotionally or activities which create pleasant memories.

Step 5: Helping your clients balance success with self-care

Which self-care needs are your clients likely to neglect when they are experiencing a busy or stressful period in their lives?

You may encourage them to list them down.

For example, they may neglect their sleep, exercise, meditation or hobbies when they are actively pursuing their goals.

You may ask them these questions or even create a worksheet with these questions:

1. “Which self-care needs do you usually neglect when you are busy?”

2. “What does it feel like to neglect these needs?”

3. “What may happen if you choose to continue ignoring this self-care need?”

4. “What is one small action step you can take to pay attention to this self-care need?”

Want to offer and sell a Self Care Masterclass to your coaching clients?

You can choose to conduct a 60-minute masterclass to teach your clients how to create their own self-care plan.

If you want to launch + sell your own 60-minute Create your own Self Care Plan masterclass, you can get this done-for-you masterclass.

I wrote this masterclass using my experience and insight as a former counsellor working in a government ministry.

With 80 fully written, fully-designed slides, a workbook and a fully-done script, you can launch your own masterclass practically overnight (or sooner ;)).

I hope this has been helpful for you in some way.

Take care,

How to run a vision board workshop for coaches (with free vision board coaching tool)

“Creating vision boards is such an ‘airy-fairy’ topic,” my brain whispered.

I was scouring the Internet for topics to create my next done-for-you workshop. 

Well, sometimes our thoughts are not facts. 

Because I came across 3 successful coaches who have conducted vision board workshops before. So clearly, vision boards are not airy-fairy after all.

Successful Coach #1 started her 6-figure coaching business holding in-person vision board workshops

Successful Coach #2 has a 7-figure business and launched her own vision board training called Vision Board Alchemy months ago. (just Google for it!)

Successful Coach #3 also started her business with vision board classes (I can’t remember the exact details though)

Well, if these superstar coaches are holding vision board workshops, that means there is a HUGE demand for it.

If you want a shortcut to grow your mailing list, you can download my mini-ebook called “Start creating a vision board today : 4 Must-Have Categories for a vision board which works” and use it as a lead magnet for your coaching website.

Step #1. Have a clear outline for your vision board workshop to organise your thoughts

Creating masterclasses and courses starts with sketching out the outlines and then filling in the details and information.

• How many ‘lessons’ do you wish to have in your vision board workshop?

• Roughly, how many slides do you want to dedicate per lesson?

• Are you going to have a group activity per lesson?

If you are not sure what to include in your vision board workshop, you can use my suggested workshop outline as a reference.

The workshop outline below is from my done-for-you vision board workshop which you can sell to your audience. It has 80 value-packed slides, an accompanying workbook and a script all done for you using my research and counselling experience :)

Suggested Vision Board Workshop outline for you :

1. Introducing yourself as a coach and your background or life experience to build credibility amongst your participants

2. Explaining why we need vision boards and how it helps us to achieve our goals faster

3. Summarising the concepts that you will be teaching in the workshop

4. Lesson 1 : How does a vision board help us create our dream life?

5. Lesson 2 : How to overcome low self-worth and an undeserving mindset so as to set authentic goals

6. Lesson 3 : Inviting and activating an abundance mindset

7. Lesson 4 : Your authentic goals, dreams and desires - 4 essential must-have categories for your vision board

8. Lesson 5 : Creating your own vision board using my 5-Step process

9. Lesson 6 : How to use powerful inspired action to make your vision board goals a reality

10. Recap the concepts you have taught

11. Gracefully promote another program or higher-ticket offer to your audience.

12. End the presentation with asking your participants to leave a review, asking participants to email you with suggestions to improve the workshop, asking them to follow you on your social media or getting them to share their favourite sections of the workshop.

Step #2 : Decide on the 4 (or 5) must-have essential categories for an effective vision board

Every coach has a different opinion on the categories which are needed to create a vision board which works.

Having well-defined categories is very helpful because your clients get to focus on ‘succeeding’ in only the most important aspects of life.

Instead of trying to chase 50 goals on their vision board, having well-defined categories helps them narrow their focus + energy down to working on, say, only 20 of their top most essential goals.

If you want my suggested 4 must-have categories to create an authentic vision board for success, you can download my Canva-editable mini-ebook “Start creating a vision board today : 4 Must-Have Categories for a vision board which works”

As a coach, you can use this mini-ebook as a lead magnet to get more people to sign up for your mailing list.

Just key in your name and I will send this editable mini-ebook to your email address.

Step #3. Address mindset blocks which may prevent your participants from setting exciting goals

Some participants may have low self-worth or a scarcity mindset which hinders them from setting exciting vision board goals.

Setting exciting goals is important. Excitement is a natural motivator which pulls us to work on our goals and visions.

In the done-for-you vision board workshop, I included slides addressing low self-worth issues and mindset issues regarding abundance.

Helping your participants slowly chip away at their low self-worth and lack mindset will excite them to design a life which works for them.

I know it takes months of research, writing and designing to create a high-quality workshop.

That is why I have created a done-for-you Vision Board workshop which you can launch and sell ASAP :)

You will get

• 80 Canva slides full of information which are editable to suit your audience’s needs

• An accompanying workbook which you can brand with your business name and edit in Canva to make it uniquely yours

• A fully-done script to ensure that your vision board workshop runs smoothly

I hope this blog post has helped you in a small way.

Sincerely and thank you,

  Welcome back to another episode of Mindset with Shikah. I'm Shikah and I create done for you coaching tools using my counselling experience. 

  Today we will be talking about self-loving ways to boost your client’s confidence. 

  For some reason, when I think of ‘building confidence’ or ‘confidence coaching’’, the first thing that pops in my mind are ‘tough love’ methods.

  I grew up hearing words like ‘no pain, no gain’, ‘bulldoze your fear’, ‘push through your fear no matter what’ or other self-punishing ideas like that.

  Well, the good news is, building your clients’ confidence and self-worth does not have to involve punishment, self-sacrifice or tears of some sort.

  That’s why I created this done-for-you self confidence program. I believe that confidence can be coached through more self-compassionate methods. 

  Confidence is such an important aspect of our lives, as it allows us to tackle challenges well, pursue our goals, and embrace our authentic selves.

  And confidence is a skill that can be learnt. If your audience thrives with a self-compassionate approach to boost confidence, you will find this episode helpful.

  I’m going to share a few self-loving coaching methods to boost confidence and ensure your clients feel comfortable in their own skin.

  #1. Self acceptance helps with self-confidence. Acceptance means owning both their positive characteristics and less-than-ideal aspects.

  For example, instead of punishing themselves for not being a ‘hustler’ who works 24/7, your clients can accept that they have a different working style.

  And they can craft schedules which let them thrive within their own working style. Self acceptance, hence, maintains their confidence levels.

  #2. Being grateful actually leads to self confidence

  Low confidence usually crops up when we have a ‘lack’ mindset. Lack of talent, lack of good looks, lack of motivation - you name it.

  If your clients appreciate the talents, skills and experience they have, they can be comfortable in their own skin.

  This does not mean they stay complacent.

  They can be grateful for their current state AND be works-in-progress at the same time :) 

  #3. Being mindful actually helps boost self confidence

  Mindfulness is probably the last thing you think of when you are coaching confidence. But here, we are referring to being mindful of our thoughts.

  Detaching ourselves from our critical thoughts can preserve our self esteem.

  I have an exercise in the done for you self confidence program which can help your clients with this. 

  For example, let’s assume you have a client who has a critical thought similar to this: “I am not good or skilled enough to apply for that job at my dream company.” 

  They can choose to pause and scan to see which thoughts are causing them to feel inadequate. 

  They can then detach themselves from the thought by changing their narrative to : “I am having *the thought* that I am not skilled enough to apply for a job at my dream company.” 

  Being aware that thoughts are not real, helps to prevent dips in confidence.

  #4. Another way to boost confidence in a self loving way is to encourage your clients to set achievable, realistic goals.

  Setting goals that are slightly challenging but achievable is a great way to boost their confidence.

  Start setting small goals and gradually work their way up to bigger goals.

  This is helpful because accomplishing even small achievements can prove to themselves that they are capable of success.

  And this builds their confidence in themselves.

  #5. The next way to coach confidence in a self-loving way is to surround themselves with positive people.

  I know one mindset coach who mentioned that ‘Environment trumps mindset’.

  What he meant was, the influence of people around us can have a stronger impact on us than our own mindset.

  So, the friends we spend time with, have a big impact on our confidence.

  Encourage your clients to surround themselves with people who uplift and support them. 

  We all know building confidence is a lifelong journey. And if you use self-loving methods to boost your clients’ confidence their new found confidence will be strong and last a long time.

  I hope you found this episode helpful.
