MiniMastermind #3: Cancellation Policies

Cancellation policies are a bit of a nightmare for self-employed practitioners. In this session we examined why cancellations are so "triggering" for us and how we can implement a pain-free experience when our clients are triggered by our boundaries.

MiniMastermind #4: Social Media

Many people find getting social media right to be difficult and the size of the problem often puts us off tackling it. In this session I provider my step-by-step guide to: getting out of your own way, connecting to your own values and planning your content. We also had a great conversation about patient management, especially around the initial consultation.

MiniMastermind #6: Creating a buying environment

Getting clients, getting clients to commit to the right level of treatment, keeping clients when things get difficult...our instinct in these circumstances is to go into "sales mode". But what if you could use being curious, being present in the moment with our clients, and really listening to create an environment in which your client wants to "buy" without you actually having to "sell"?

Following on from the previous month's session on the buying environment, this discussion is all about how people make decisions and how we can harness this when it comes to taking action with clients.

MiniMastermind #10: Planning your year

In this session to kick-off 2023 we talked about how to set stretching goals with realistic expectations about what can be done. Most importantly, I coached everyone on how to have the right mindset, not just to make plans that really serve your needs, but to succeed in implementing those plans by being honest about the barriers that exist and planning how you will overcome them.

MiniMastermind #11: Tiredness Strategies for Practitioners

Tiredness is pretty much universal when you're a self-employed practitioner seeking to care for your clients, run your business and meet the demands of your personal life. In this MiniMastermind session we talked about some practical actions that you can take straightaway to change the dynamics of your working and personal life. When watching this you can use the coaching questions I set out to reframe the how and why of your tiredness, then you can take some of the actions I suggest to help you thrive. My thanks to those who contributed their experiences to the discussion and demonstrated exactly how these strategies work.
