I'm very honoured to have been invited by the AoEC - The Academy of Executive Coaching to run not one but SEVEN workshops dedicated to 'Unlocking your Marketing Potential' over the next seven months. If you are an #AoEC #Alumni, you can attend these sessions at no financial cost as they are included in the support that the AoEC offers it's graduates as part of continued professional development for coaches. With limited capacity to run such workshops, I have to be quite discerning about which coaching training providers BBB partners with on such a level. But it was a no-brainer for me to come up with something really fun and innovative (in partnership with the wonderful Vicky Routledge) for the AoEC community... The AoEC has produced so many good, ethically-minded and purposeful “people-helpers” (as we like to call coaches over at Better Bolder Braver HQ). And this partnership allows us to be discerning about who we attract to the BBB community whilst also prioritising inclusivity and diversity. The workshops will be available to AoEC alumni across the world, not just in the UK. The sessions will cover these hot topics/questions for executive coaches: 💸"How do I make money as a coach?" 👯"How do I get more clients (as an Executive Coach)?" 📶"What is the most effective way to market my coaching business?" 💬Making LinkedIn work for my coaching business 📚"How do I get coaching clients when recently qualified?" 🥺"Imposter Syndrome: I'm not as good as other coaches"  🦌"Help - I'm not a marketeer! (for executive coaches)"   If you are an Alumni, you can register here: https://lnkd.in/e-_pC-WP The headline for me is that the AoEC are the ONLY EXECUTIVE COACHING TRAINING body that is also B Lab UK - certified. This means so much to me in my efforts to support People Helpers who also have a "Bigger Picture System Change Manifesto", as I like to call it. Founder & CEO of AoEC, John Leary-Joyce explains their vision and mission for making a difference in the world through coaching beautifully here: https://lnkd.in/edhDkxt7 I am very much looking forward to the first workshop next week, on Wednesday 26 June 2024 at 13.00 - 14.00 BST.
