Transformational Coaching Strategies for High Ticket Clients
My first coaching session almost made me quit.
I was sitting in my laundry room on a landline doing a practice session as part of my coaching certification. Forty-five minutes in, the woman just goes off on me. "Colin, you are pissing me off." I walked out and told my wife, "I don't know if this is for me."
Now, over 17 years later, I've done over 4,500 hours of paid coaching at $3,800/hour. I keynoted at the American Institute of Hypnotherapy and Neurolinguistic Programming. And this week, I've got 55+ people flying in from around the world to spend three days with me.
In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the exact three skills that transformed my coaching from "I'm pissing people off" to commanding premium rates and creating real breakthroughs with high-level clients.
This isn't about being nice. It's about being transformational.
What you'll learn:
→ Master powerful questions - Why asking the right questions creates breakthroughs (not giving advice first)
→ Use reframes to shift perspective - Stories, metaphors, and the feel-felt-found structure that changes how clients see their situation
→ Blend all three together - Questions + reframes + advice = transformational results
→ The difference between okay coaching and premium coaching
→ How to hold space for new possibility in your clients
→ Why awareness creates breakthroughs (not information)
