I've been coaching for over 5 years now, but I wasn't taken seriously until three or four years ago. I realise I was still stuck in "Student Mode". Firstly, let me say this "We are always learning, so we're constantly playing the role of student and learning continuously. This is how we keep our content fresh and keep our "BRANDS" up to speed. With that being said. Why is it so hard for us to transition from being the "student" to being the "teacher". Why aren't people taking you seriously and why are others winning while others are losing.
1.Tone - Yes, writers have a tone too. Most people are familiar with the tone of a speaker, but writers can lose their followers with their passive tone of writing. Tone in writing is not really any different than the tone of your voice. You know that sometimes it is not “what” you say, but “how” you say it. Every adjective and adverb you use, your sentence structure, and the imagery you use will show your tone. The definition of “tone” is the way the author expresses his attitude through his/her writing. If you're a teacher you have to speak/write with "Authority". You are no longer the student, so you have to speak/write as if you're teaching and directing your students or clients on what steps to take.
2. Leave the "NOTES" behind and speak what you know - A lot of people are afraid to let go of their "Mentors/Coaches" hands, so they spoon feed their clients and audience their teachers notes. They stick to every word and continue to sound like a student instead of a teacher. If I shared a post saying "Success Leaves Clues". We all know that's straight out of the "Tony Robbins" handbook or "You have to be HUNGRY". That's straight off a "Les Brown" stage. I don't want to hear what I've already heard. I want to hear your unique point of view and how you plan on helping me.
3. Results - People want results. Most people know their problems and even if they don't. What happens after you point them out? Don't feed me a bunch of "YOU CAN DO IT". Help me figure out how to do it. Address the problem or find out the need, what is the desired outcome, what are the steps to achieve the desired outcome and how do I incorporate it in my life. People want results.
