What is Coaches Corner?

  • Hints and tips to help a coach guide the people they are coaching through the NBS Syllabus (see separate menu)
  • Help to achieve far greater results (both in network building and personal/business goals)
  • Perspective on how to coach others so they can better coach others

Coaches Corner Menu

There are 2 options in the coaches corner menu:

• Coaching for Coaches
• Advanced

“Coaching for Coaches” provides the coaching basics

“Advanced” provides resources to help coaches learn, grow and achieve better results

What does being a Coach involve?

• Quite simply you need to duplicate the steps that your coach has been through with you with others you have introduced
• In other words, you just need to duplicate the simple steps of the NBS to move forward!

Initial joint coaching sessions

• Usually, it’s best to run your first few coaching sessions as a conference call with your coach
• Discuss this with your coach
• Depending on your confidence level and the stage you have reached you may feel most comfortable using a joint coaching session where you can mainly listen while your coach takes someone you have introduced through the fundamental steps of the NBS
• On the other hand, your coach may suggest you take the lead role while they listen in

Your role as a ‘Coach’

• First and Foremost remember that when someone takes a 1-month trial, they are not yet committed!
  • It will take time for them to form habits and really see the value
  • For example, even when you set up a recurring calendar invite for their weekly coaching session, it is good to touch base in advance and make sure they haven’t forgotten!
• You are someone who guides people as to how to build their network and build trust with fellow collaborators
• You help others learn how to build their networks and how to coach others they have brought onto the NBS.
• You are willing to invest in the right people and help them create success by helping them make relevant connections and ‘bounce’ ideas around with them.
• You will undoubtedly form great relationships with the people you are coaching and you will learn a great deal about leading, inspiring and encouraging people in the process
• The personal development is exceptional because you have something practical to apply it to (building a network) rather than personal development for the sake of personal development
• However, it’s important to realise you are not responsible for other people’s success!
• You can’t ‘make’ other people successful (it’s an inside job).
• You are not a counsellor or a ‘life’ coach
• When you are bringing 2 new people per week:
  • You find great people to work with – people you don’t have to drag forward, willing people with a great attitude
• While you may really want someone else to succeed they have to meet you at least half way because you just don’t have the time to invest in a ‘project’

What are the Benefits of Coaching?

Excitedly expect good things to happen!

• In many cases, we only really learn some things when you start teaching them!
  • Typically you become much better at network building as you start to coach others!
• You are starting a process of duplication which means your extended network begins to grow exponentially
  • You are coaching others to coach others.
• As your network expands people in your network will introduce contacts to you that may be ideal business partners
  • In the process, you earn trust by helping those people connect with relevant others
• Most importantly, you will develop as a leader and a coach
  • Often this helps you to undergo the personal development you need to break through and achieve far greater results in everything you do
• As you get to know people you come across many ideas and connections that help you fast-track to your goals and ideal lifestyle
• As a coach, you are starting to create exponential growth that benefits everyone
  • Which means all the key collaborators will be doing their best to help you!
• You have a coach who can help you
  
  • Crystalise your current and future ideas for creating your ideal lifestyle (start with why – again)
    • Is what you are currently doing still supporting your long-term lifestyle goals?
    • What other possibilities are there?
  • Learn how to “trigger” other collaborators to think of good contacts for you
    • How can you make it easy for them to think of you?
• The skills you acquire as an NBS coach and network builder will be of invaluable help in any endeavour you undertake

• So many great things await you as you build a large network and become known by others
• It’s worth knowing that people follow people who are passionate
  • Learn how to cast vision to others and you, in turn, will remain inspired
  • Maintaining a positive attitude (even when coaching people who challenge you) is 90% of the battle for success and results won!

Follow the NBS – don’t cut corners

• Follow the steps of the NBS – because you want the right things to duplicate
• People work so much better when they know there is a system to follow that produces predictable results
