Even coaches have to ask for help.

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Fern Weis

 

Even coaches have to ask for help.

After three years it was time to ask for help.  My coach training was great… but I didn’t know much about building a business.  “If you build it, they will come” isn’t really true. Just hanging out a shingle doesn’t guarantee that people know you exist, let alone the value of what you do.

Yes, I’ve done lots of workshops and some coaching (not as much I’d like…), and I’ve definitely made a difference in the lives of parents of teens.  But I needed to expand my reach and connect with more of you.  I definitely know what many of you are going through.  I’ve been there myself, and then some.  More than anything I want to help you through the baffling times, when you feel confused, frustrated, and sometimes alone.

Asking for help isn’t always easy – whether you are a coach or a parent.  You definitely have to make an investment — of time, energy and money. But the payoff is enormous.

So what’s a coach to do?  Why, hire a business coach, of course.  In the second half of 2011, I worked with the Coaches’ Coach, Barb Wade.  Together we crafted a message, a program, a new website, and new energy.

I am ready to be of greater support and service to you.  I am committed to helping you be the change-maker in your family… so that you can give your teens the skills and confidence to be on their own when the time comes.  And you will know that you have prepared them for life, and given them what matters most.
