Dan Lewis presents:
Branding From The Inside Out for Coaches

This webinar is approved for 2.0 RD CCEU's
Does thinking about "branding" your coaching practice make you feel confused, overwhelmed, yucky, or inauthentic? Branding isn't primarily logos, fonts, and colors. It's about being intentional in how you show up in service of your clients -- and communicating that meaningfully and authentically to those you want to reach. The colors, logos and aesthetics come later.
In this down-to-earth session we'll map out the three circles that make up your brand blueprint (Being, Doing, and Connecting). We'll focus on how coaches are different from other service professionals and how to distinguish your genuine uniqueness. From clarity, alignment, and authenticity come enrollment conversations with the clients you were meant to serve.
Goals of the session:
- Dispatch some disempowering myths and misconceptions about branding for coaches
- Map out the three dimensions of your coaching practice's "brand", focusing on the elements that matter most for coaches
- Explore what makes you genuinely unique as a coach
Complimentary Gifts:
Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of the Branding from the Inside-Out for Clarity, Alignment, and Authenticity workbook.
