Relationship Coaching Technology:

14 COMPELLING REASONS TO USE A RELATIONSHIP COACH

by David Steele, Layne Cutright, and Paul Cutright
(with much appreciated input from RCI coaches)

The coaching relationship is unique and powerful, and really can help you find fulfillment in your life and relationships. Below are some important reasons to use a Relationship Coach, any ONE of which is compelling enough to get your very own coach TODAY.

  1. YOU VALUE RELATIONSHIPS HIGHLY
    You prioritize building fulfilling personal and professional relationships. You realize that your success and quality of life is directly connected to the quality of your relationships.
  2. YOU ARE COMMITTED TO SUCCESS
    You are serious and intentional about having a fulfilling life partnership, family, business, and community.
  3. YOU WANT RESULTS
    Working with a coach can move you farther and faster than you can on your own.
  4. YOU ARE WILLING TO LEARN
    You realize that you don’t know what you don’t know, and your future success may depend upon access to new relationships skills and knowledge.
  5. YOU ARE READY FOR ACTION
    Using a coach can be the most effective means of translating knowledge into practice. One of the most indispensable roles of a coach is to help you use what you already know to make effective choices and take the actions necessary to be successful.
  6. YOU ARE OPEN TO MENTORING/SUPPORT
    A Relationship Coach helps you to use your relationships to evolve and develop relationship skills critical to your business success and personal fulfillment. The process of self-discovery, learning about relationships, and how to make successful relationship choices cannot be effectively self-taught or obtained from a book or tape.
  7. YOU WANT FULFILLMENT
    You do not want to settle for less or risk preventable failure, and you are willing to give yourself the gift of the support and technology needed to be successful.
  8. YOU WANT TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
    A Relationship Coach helps keep you honest with yourself, helps neutralize any tendency you may have to settle for less than you really want, is good for providing "reality checks" and being a sounding board.
  9. YOU WANT TO BE PROACTIVE
    A Relationship Coach helps you solve problems while they are still small.
  10. YOU WANT TO GO BEYOND YOUR LIMITS
    A Relationship Coach holds your highest vision for you beyond your fears and limitations, and helps you overcome your obstacles and challenges.
  11. YOU WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
    A Relationship Coach helps you take responsibility for the quality of your relationships so that you can create them the way you want.
  12. YOU WANT LIVE AUTHENTICALLY
    Today's world is filled with challenges to finding and staying on your highest path, telling your truth, and making choices that are best for you. A Relationship Coach helps you identify and live the life you really want, and to be more of the person you really are and want to be.
  13. YOU WANT BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE
    Your life is filled with opportunities and conflicting choices. You recognize the importance of creating and maintaining balance in relationships, including the ones you have with yourself and your higher power.
  14. YOU WANT NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
    You recognize that a healthy relationship is growing and dynamic. One of the worst things that can happen is to take one another or the relationship for granted. Opening to new possibilities keeps a good relationship getting better with the passage of time. A Relationship Coach helps you to continually discover and implement new and more fulfilling possibilities for your life and relationships.

Practice Tips:

TOP 5 WRITING MISTAKES
by David Steele

As a private practice professional it is important to communicate effectively with your prospects and clients. In composing text for your brochure, web site, announcements, newsletter, etc, here are my top five writing mistakes to avoid:

  1. SPELLING ERRORS
    Use your spell checker! Proofread everything you send at least 3 times for items the spell checker misses. Ideally, have someone with good writing skills proofread for you as well.
  2. GRAMMATICAL ERRORS
    If we want to build trust and credibility, grammar is as important as spelling. Even the best educated confuse 'it's' and 'its,' and has trouble remembering to put the punctuation inside quotation marks (which are my most recurring errors!). There are grammar checking books and software, or you can go on-line for free at
    http://www.grammarstation.com/GC.html
  3. USE OF CLICHES
    A turn-off. If you aren't sure if a phrase is a cliché or not, a fun site to visit is http://www.clichesite.com/index.asp
  4. USE OF JARGON
    Another turn-off. You lose your reader (and possibly the prospect/client) when you use language your prospects and clients don't understand. Remember, you are writing for THEM, not for YOU! Define your terms... even better; use plain language so you don't need to do so!
  5. TOO MUCH TEXT
    Edit everything you write to its most concise form. Most good writers spend much more time editing their writing down than actually writing! For web sites, use lots of bullets and outlined points. For e-mail text especially, such as e-mail newsletters and correspondence, break up text into short paragraphs of a sentence or two.

I suggest reviewing the web sites, newsletters, announcements, brochures, etc, of the leaders in your field and identify:

  1. What they do well that you would like to emulate
  2. What they don't do very well that you could improve upon

BONUS WRITING TIP:

When writing marketing copy for your prospects, emphasize BENEFITS, BENEFITS, BENEFITS!

Address what your prospects and clients care about and want, not what you think is important.

'Don't tell me about your grass seed; tell me about my lawn.'
