The Second Professional Self-Coaching Resource — For Networking and Building Professional Relationships
Today, the second resource in Professional Self-Coaching: Get the Client.
Self-coaching is the ability to guide yourself through every part of your WorkLife journey — through stable times and times of change and uncertainty. It is asking yourself the questions that bring clarity, finding your own answers, and acting on what you learn.
Each Professional Self-Coaching resource is created for one important professional moment. One purpose. One challenge. One outcome. Distilled from more than twenty years of professional coaching, writing and practice.
Get the Client — Professional Self-Coaching for Networking and Building Professional Relationships
You know your next client, collaboration or opportunity will come through people. You have the expertise, the experience and the commitment to your field. What Get the Client gives you is the ability to help people see it — so that conversations which used to fade after thirty seconds become the beginning of professional relationships.
Professional connection rarely fails because someone lacks credibility. It fails because credentials describe what you do without revealing who you are professionally — and people connect with, collaborate with and refer work to professionals they feel they understand.
Get the Client takes you, step by step, from your experience to three prepared professional stories — your failure, success and passion stories — built for the spoken moment and connected into one complete picture of how you think, what you’ve learnt and what drives your work.
And you finish with more than the stories themselves. You finish with your connecting lines — the fifteen seconds that turn three anecdotes into a professional identity. Two lengths of every story, with reserve notes so you know where the depth lives. Three natural ways into any conversation. A context map for networking events, client meetings, collaborations and partnerships. Three inviting questions that turn telling into exchange. And your Connection Page — a single page to review before any room you walk into.
It captures the thinking, the sequence, the questions and the frameworks a coach would bring to hours of one-to-one work — and places them in your hands, to work through in your own space and time.
Because when people understand how you think, what you’ve learnt and what drives your work, they don’t just remember you. They know exactly when to call you.
