Your Future as a Professional Online Coach or Consultant

Your Future as a Professional Online Coach or Consultant

Providing professional online coaching or consulting opens up an entire world of possibilities. Suddenly you’re no longer limited by location.

But when faced with a whole planet filled with prospects, how do you narrow down your target market and connect with the people most likely to pay for your services? How can you add enough value to your service so people beg to buy something they can get for free with a couple of clicks?

Identify the outcome the client is trying to achieve. Instead of searching for “online coach,” or “online consultant,” which is a way to achieve an outcome, a client might search by the benefit they hope to receive, such as “better sleep,” “decrease stress,” or “increased energy.”

Think like a client when deciding which social media groups to join.
Participate in groups and comment on blog posts in an authentic manner, without selling anything.
Be the first to respond when prospects have a problem or question, increasing your authority and visibility online.

By anticipating the prospect’s perspective, you’ll be able to find your target market, build relationships with them, and get more clients online. [Read more…]

Common Sleep Disorders and Treatment

April 12, 2019 by Liz Carter

Issues with sleep may be as a result of an undiagnosed medical disorder. It is important that as a certified sleep science coach you are able to recognize the common disorders. Unless qualified, we do not diagnose or treat these disorders, however.

Insomnia

The most common sleep disorder is insomnia (22). This is described as insufficient sleep due to problems falling asleep, waking up often throughout the night, getting up too early, or feeling tired after waking. Insomnia is more common in women than men and tends to increase with age (22).

Acute insomnia can occur as a result of emotional or physical discomfort, stress, environmental noise, temperature extremes, jet lag or due perhaps to medication side effects (22). Chronic insomnia can happen from a mixture of physical or mental disorders, undiagnosed or uncontrolled sleep disorders and can even be due to taking certain medications.

Treatments

If you suspect or know your client has insomnia, treatment is normally tailored based on personal needs. If it is due to a medication, they may need to see their doctor for more advice. If it is due to any psychological issues, then that must be addressed. This will include the need to always observe professional coaching boundaries and skills. Some behavioral modification may be needed, like developing better sleeping habits, as outlined in previous sections.

Avoid alcohol as a treatment as it inhibits REM sleep, affects sleep during the early morning hours and is believed to prevent restorative, quality sleep (22). [Read more…]
