September 26 Webinar
Sales Mastery for Coaches: How to Build Influence and Enroll More
Clients Using Skills You Already Possess as a Coach
Chris Kenney

Our September 26 webinar features Chris Kenney, a Sales and Mindset Expert who firmly believes building a successful coaching business doesn't have to be difficult or take a long time. Having built several businesses to multiple six-figures, he took his current coaching practice to over $300K in its very first year—without a website, blog or social media presence. Yes, you read that right!

Chris knows the key to building a successful business is to focus on one thing—sales. He specializes in teaching his clients how to sell in an authentic, non-pushy, genuine way while charging more than they ever thought possible. He knows when you master selling and have a simple step-by-step process to follow, doors open and opportunities get created beyond those you have previously dreamed of. As a Coach, you not only create more income, you also dramatically increase the results you have for your clients and your impact on the world. Chris will share how sales conversations can be both fun and effective when you are using a process that feels authentic to you—and is firmly focused on being of service to your potential clients.

News from ICF Global

2019 Global Coaching Survey
It's Not Just for Coaches... Spread the Word

The last time a Global Coaching Study was commissioned by Price Waterhouse Coopers and the ICF was 2015. But, it’s the fourth time that this important survey has been conducted. What is it? The survey is designed to engage with as many coaches as possible to provide an up-to-date picture of the coaching profession and empower coaches to embrace the opportunities and meet the challenges ahead. It explores diverse topics, including Industry size and revenue, the business and practice of coaching, and perspectives on industry trends, including regulation, technology and more.

And it’s not just for coaches. This will be the second time that managers/leaders using coaching skills are included in the study. In 2015, their inclusion enabled us to achieve powerful insights into the growth of coaching cultures within businesses and organizations.

Anyone who fits one of the categories below can take the survey:

External coach practitioners
Internal coach practitioners
Coaches who self-identify as both external and internal coach practitioners
HR/talent development managers/leaders who use coaching skills
Managers/leaders who use coaching skills

The survey benefits coaches by giving them insights into where they can grow their business and help them understand where they fit into the marketplace.

The survey is open through December, 2019. But, don’t delay. Complete the survey and send the link to someone you know who is a coach or someone who is a manager or leader utilizing coaching. We all can benefit by participating in this important research. For more information, visit ICF Global.
