Speaker: Kim O’Hara
CCEs: 1.5 Resource Development
Date: Wednesday, May 10, 2023
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Pacific Time
This month’s SIG is an interactive workshop on writing. I will present some of my top tips on how to become a better writer, as well as the biggest pet peeves. You will have the inside scoop on why some books you read just don’t sit with you right, and others you remember for decades to come. Becoming an author is fundamentally about writing well, and few people spend the time necessary to practice a craft. You can’t just fly a plane for the first time without lessons. You could but you would probably crash! Same with books… while less perilous, the act of publishing a book written by an amateur with no writing training is the same set up for a crash and burn.

If follow up is a hard heavy "to do" then the Follow Up Sales Strategies Presentation is for you. You'll learn that follow up is merely a matter of having effective habits and good systems in place. If you struggle getting your follow up work done, it's not because you don't have time, you're not organized or you're not good at sales...it's because you haven't learned the right systems and skill set. Understanding this will help put you in the flow of ease of getting this all important work done on a daily basis.

Coaches are continuously challenged with what to say to potential clients. They tend to make the process about themselves rather than focusing solely on being prepared, in the moment, and serving the potential client at hand. They think of getting client(s) rather than being fully present to the one client they are serving. In this interactive workshop, Master Coach, Gretchen Hydo, will teach the art of enrollment beginning with prepping yourself, to being fully present with your client.

Storytelling and the understanding of a client’s old and new narrative is important in coaching; as important for the coach as it is for the client. When the idea of writing a book comes up, especially if a professional is not a natural writer, there is the presentation of confusion. Why would I do this, and how come the idea won’t go away? When called to write a book, the best way to eliminate the overwhelm and confusion is to drill down into the objectives of the book.
