On Monday the World’s number 1 leadership thinker Dr. Marshall Goldsmith will be presenting a session that will help develop your coaching skills of “How to Effectively Influence Decision Makers”.

The complimentary session is part of the World Business and Executive Coach Summit Pre-Summit series which has been very well received across the globe. It has no cost to attend and has no sales pitches at all.

Here are the details of Dr. Marshall Goldsmith’s session:

Peter Drucker wisely noted that, “Our mission in life should be to make a positive difference – not to prove how smart we are or how right we are.” In this practical and immediately applicable session, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith will begin with an analysis of how we often ignore Peter Drucker’s great advice as we wander through life. He will then share very concrete suggestions on how to improve our odds on successfully influencing decision makers when we do not have direct line authority. He will then share his suggestions on how to deal with people who disagree with us when we do have line authority. Marshall believes that these concepts are among the most useful suggestions that he makes when coaching top executives.

Specifically You Will:
- Understand how key ‘time wasters’ limit our ability to make a positive difference in the world.
- Learn a practical process for effectively influencing decision makers.
- Learn to ‘make peace’ with what you cannot change.
- Be better able to deal with disagreement when you are the decision maker.

In his bestselling books The Go-Giver and Go-Givers Sell More, author Bob Burg maps out The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success.

Law #1 is the Law of Value.
#2: The Law of Compensation
#3: The Law of Influence
#4: The Law of Authenticity
#5: The Law of Receptivity

I totally love his books and his message, that it’s not about being a go-getter in life, rather you have to be go-giver to succeed.  We coaches know about how to be of service and make a difference, and I just KNOW that you’ll love joining me as Bob and I engage in one of our fun-filled conversations where you get to participate!

Next Community Mastermind Call will be Wednesday, May 1, 2013 (12:00pm Eastern/9:00am Pacific)!

My friend Bob Burg will be joining us with a his brilliant insights about how to sell more coaching services in today’s economy! As a coach, you add exceptional value to the lives of your clients, and should be highly-compensated for such. But, to charge a healthy fee, and attract the right people, you need to “walk in your value.” In this session, you’ll learn how to do just that, as well as feel very comfortable “selling” your services. Yes, “selling”…though that might not be exactly what you think it is.

TOPIC:  Do Go-Givers Really Sell More In Today’s Economy?

Shifting your focus from “getting to giving” is not only a nice way to live life…but a very financially profitable way, as well.

You cannot control “The” Economy but you can absolutely control “Your” economy.

When Bob Burg, coauthor of the international bestseller, The Go-Giver, speaks about “giving,” he’s talking in terms of “constantly and consistently providing value to the lives of others.” When you can take your focus off yourself and shift it onto how you can be an asset of value to other people, you’ll plant seeds of goodwill — of great will — that will come back to you many, many times over. And, not because of some magical, mystical type of thinking, but because it makes absolutely practical sense.

However, one wonders: “Isn’t that kind of naive?” “Isn’t that just feel-goody, new-agey stuff that doesn’t work in the real-world?” Or, even, “Sure, maybe when the economy is good, but now we have to fight for everything we get. So, isn’t this simply bad advice?”

Actually, not only is it not naive, it’s quite practical. And, again, for very concrete reasons that Bob will explain.

Bob has built his business, and shows others how to build theirs, based on one overriding, foundational principle:

“All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.”

You can go to Bob’s website and immediately download Chapter One from his international bestseller The Go-Giver and receive lots of value-added resources.

The question I’m asked by coaches all over the
world, which is “How do I get more clients?”
And more specifically, “How do I make it easy
and comfortable to consistently get more clients?”

In February, my team will be launching the
Seal the Deal Success Kit to answer that question.

Because you are a member of the Leading Coaches Center,
I wanted to give you an EXCLUSIVE head’s up
about what we are launching, and the opportunity to
get not only a deep discount if you’re one of the first
30 buyers, but the opportunity to make some money by
signing up to refer others who could use help getting
clients.

Here’s the Seal the Deal Success Kit

And here’s where you can learn more about how to
get paid for referring coaches and solopreneurs to
the Success Kit: Become an Affiliate

We will be launching with a no-cost informational webinar
on February 14th (yes, Valentine’s Day!), and calling it the
“Love Your Business” webinar. But you don’t have to wait
for that day to check out the Success Kit and the Affiliate center.
Hope to see you there!

You have the power to make 2013 your best year yet!
There are clients waiting for you to rock their worlds!

Ever wish you had a system or set of proven strategies for getting more clients?

Stay tuned, because we are getting ready to launch the Seal the Deal Success Kit, which includes SOOO many secrets and strategies in a proven system for integrating networking, marketing, and sales (which is the critical trinity for getting clients), that you can’t go wrong.

Seriously, if you were to take a business development course, you’d pay over $5,000.  If you were to hire a business development coach, you’d pay over $3500.  This fully stocked Success Kit is guaranteed to get you new clients and it costs less than a thousand dollars! Especially if you’re one of the first 30 buyers, for whom there’s a super deep discount.

The Success Kit has everything you’ll need to understand step by step how to get more clients than you’re currently getting.  It covers mindsets, practical tips, tools, and strategies, and it’s all put together in an easy to follow system that takes all the guess-work out of it.

Have you ever wondered about how to build an advisory board or how to coach leaders of organizations who are faced with wanting to grow by creating an exceptional advisory board to inject genius into the organization and create break through growth?

Then you won’t want to miss this call with Marissa about how to SCALE!

Marissa Levin rocks – see her full bio below. She’s one of my own advisers as a member of my mastermind group. She has a proven track record (as CEO, her company, Information Experts is a 17 year old global strategic communications/ education/ human capital firm that’s forecasting $20 million for 2012), and in the last year has started a new firm (she’s also CEO of Successful Cultures) and published two books (“My Company ROCKS!” Eight Secrets to a Growth-Driven Culture That Keeps Employees Happy & Engaged and the new one that I’ve asked her to share with us: Built to Scale: How Top Companies Create Breakthrough Growth through Exceptional Advisory Boards)

Marissa’s the first to come to market with a model and a book (based on experience and research) for privately held businesses to implement advisory boards. It includes the worksheets/templates, and processes that owners from start-up to $15 million can follow to surround themselves with who they need to get them from where they are now to where they want to be. She’s bootstrapped her firm for over 18 years, and her Board was instrumental in her growth.

SCALE (in the book title) stands for Select, Compensate, Associate, Leverage, and Evaluate/Evolve/Exit.

By sharing her journey, her lessons, and her model, her vision/dream is to transform the small business landscape. She want to transform how business owners think, operate, and grow their businesses.

In addition to sharing her personal experience of my board search and implementation, she surveyed 100+ business owners, and interviewed 25 biz owners as well as board experts. For example, she interviewed an expert in equity compensation to share how business owners can give equity to board members that is performance-based and mitigates risk. – perfect for the start-up that is bootstrapping and has limited cash reserves. This information has never been captured before and presented in an implementable model format.
