Develop Your Coaching Skills And Get A Keen Insight On Listening

Being a member of Marketing Merge I had the opportunity to listen to a webinar by Dr. Ellie Drake, coach for business coaches, effective coaching, public speaking coaching, MLM training, management coaching skills and a lot more, which was really impressive.

Every kind of business, network marketing businesses, online businesses, traditional businesses require commitment, a personality and also a person.

A person who is able to listen. A person with self esteem. A person with a foundation. Do you have this aim ? Commit yourself to the coaching skill of listening.

A successful business requires a person with a personality who only leans on his or her own skills.

So a big item for persons with a personality who want to have success in their businesses should be the ability to listen. Here’s a short summary of some business coaching tools and coaching techniques included in the ten tips by Dr. Ellie Drake:

1. Listen to your own intuition, your purpose and create your foundation.

2. Be an empathic listener in order to be able to influence.

   Listen on a visceral level in your right brain and listen with your feelings.

   The opposites would be to be a sympathetic (no influence) or a assumptive listener (just listening).

3. Ask the right questions. Maintain the energy in your prospects. Develop your motivational skills.

4. Give the right type of feedback. Connect with your feelings before answering.

5. Listen to where you are coming from, your personal agenda or your purpose.

   Using your purpose you can feel at ease and move people into action.

6. Control your body language even if you are talking on the phone.

   Here some body language skills: Keep your rip cage free while speaking, do not slouch over, it is where your self esteem comes from and is transmitted.

   Put your toes in the direction you are looking and keep you shoulders relaxed.

   Your throat muscles have to be relaxed in order to avoid a pitch in your voice.

   Do not clench your teeth, keep your jar muscles relaxed.

7. Keep your face muscles and eyebrows relaxed .

8. Do not interrupt, i.e., know how to interrupt in the right place.

9. Be yourself.

   Learn to be yourself. What are you standing for ? Where is your own business confidence coming from ?

10. Do not lose your sense of connection. Maintain, expand and grow your foundation. Be constantly a good student to yourself. Are you the kind of coach you would hire for yourself ?

There is so much to learn about leading a successful business, being a good coach and, in summary, leading a successful and satisfactory life. It is almost a life coaching course.

The whole webinar with Dr. Drakeis available on the Internet. She explains every point in detail and I really got the impression that this was a powerful and helpful information for myself as a person and for myself as a personality in my business opportunity.

Thank you, Ellie Drake.
