Today I interview nurse and health and wellness coach, Celeste Clearly. We talk about how she stepped away from her nursing profession, graduated with her Professional Certificate of Health and Wellness Coaching from Wellness Coaching Australia, and then took a deep breath to build her own business - with the right supports along the way. Celeste shares some insights how she pushed through a lack of self-confidence to get where she is today – working with her first clients, doing what she loves, and having an impact. >> If you'd like to connect with Celeste, you can reach her on LinkedIn >> If you'd like to connect with Christine Boucher to learn more about how to expand your health and wellness business into the corporate sector, register here for her free webinar >> If you'd like help to develop visual models for your business, connect with Renee Hasseldine (creator of the Think RAPT System) and read her great LinkedIn article.

Clive Enever joins me today to discuss the important, but often neglected, art of listening in business. In business, we often fall back on phrases like talking the talk, nailing the elevator pitch, mastering the sales spiel, and honing the marketing message. But while the information you have to offer is important to your business and your brand, so too are the nuggets of wisdom served up by your clientele and your staff. That means “listening” in business is just as important as “speaking”. Because when we listen, we begin to understand the customer needs, their purchasing hesitation and how we can improve our offering. In this episode, we discuss: What is listening and why is it important? Why you should limit asking "why?" How to be present in the conversations you're having Tips for making eye contact with others What are we listening for when we're talking to clients and potential clients How to listen to customer feedback Discovering clues to how your customers want to be treated And more Access Free Training: www.shareyourpassion.com.au/freetraining Access Show Notes: www.shareyourpassion.com.au/ep-132

Are you spending weeks, maybe months creating new products? What if I told you there was an easier way to extract your expertise and create ALL your products QUICKLY and CONSISTENTLY? That's the power of a Signature System. A Signature System extracts all of your knowledge and expertise and distills it into 4 simple pictures. Then you can create ALL (yes, ALL) your products from these 4 pictures. How? I'm so glad you asked! First, you need to be able to use them in your pitch script - a way of arranging the 4 models that tells a compelling and informative story to your audience. Once you have that nailed, the pitch script is a concertina. Add as much or as little detail/support/exercises as you need for each product. Want to do a 20 minute video optin? Easy - add in a few case studies and few examples and you can quickly fill up the 20 minutes. Need to run a 7 week course? Simply expand on your Educate Model. Go really in depth with exercises, examples, support and so much more. That way it's a much higher value product than say your short optin video. When you're the expert, it's easy to fill or reduce as much as you need for whatever product you're creating! Find out more at www.shareyourpassion.com.au/podcast

A Signature System is the gift that keeps on giving. What on earth is a Signature System? If you have a service-based business, then this could very well be life changing! In this episode, I’m sharing with you: - What a signature system is - What it includes (the 4 key models you need) - Why it’s not limited to just 4 key models - And some awesome things you can do with your Signature System! A Signature System is a methodology that is unique to you, that demonstrates how you deliver proven results for your clients time and time again. It takes the years of experience, knowledge and skills out of your head and distills it into a simple and clear suite of visual models that you can use as the foundation for most of your business. What’s Actually IN a Signature System? There are 4 key types of visual models required to make up the Signature System. - Success Model - Educate Model - Excite Model - Yes Model. The four models above form the basis of a well-constructed Signature System. What Can a Signature System Do? Is it just about educating clients? No. There are many more applications, and while I don’t have time here to go into each and everyone, here are some ideas to get you thinking: Sales - e.g. share with your potential clients your YES model to get them pumped about working with you. Content - Use your system as the basis for ALL your online content. Networking - Having a signature system can help clarify what you do when you’re at networking events. Press release - Use your models in press releases to whet the appetite of the media. Use it as the basis for a course. Write your book based on your Signature System. Pop one of your models in your email signature! Use your signature system in a sales brochure. Add them to your business plan. Chuck ‘em on your website’ Make banners or signs with your models to use at conferences and trade events’ Top tip posts for social media. Get your staff up to speed quickly and efficiently with your signature system. Once you’ve got a signature system, you can more easily franchise your business. And much more! I hope that gives you a little more idea into what a Signature System is and why your business will benefit immensely from having one!

I create a lot of visual models for myself and clients, and I see a lot of people creating visual models, which is amazing! I hear from people frequently how much value they’re adding to their business already with their DIY visual models. So, in this episode, I’m sharing with you my top three mistakes people make with creating visual models DIY-style, and how to fix them. 1. MIXING YOUR METAPHORS. A visual model should align with what you’re communicating in your model. If you’re showing people how to get from A to B and it’s a linear process, you’ll want to choose a visual model that shows that it’s linear. Pro-tip – If you’re illustrating a linear journey from one point to another, don’t use a circle. 2. OVER-RELIANCE ON ONE SHAPE. Once you understand a type of model, it’s easy to go out and make all of your visual models like that. And I see this, particularly with Venn diagrams. I love a good Venn diagram, but if it’s the only shape you’re used to working with, it can become repetitive and confusing. If you have a Venn diagram for everything, it can be hard for your clients to remember which is which. Venn Diagrams are great for: Distinct ideas that have overlapping elements. Separate principles that when brought together create something amazing. Pro-tip – Mix up the models. Have a Venn diagram for one. A series of arrows for a journey or process. A circle with interlocking parts for success principles. That way your clients can quickly and easily recognise and recall your different models. Use things like angles (sharp or rounded), fonts, colours and icons to help make your models look like a cohesive suite. 3. MIXING UP THE 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MODELS I see people trying to cram everything they know into one type of model. But, you need different models for different types of information. Back in episode 67 I went into more depth about the 4 different types of models. 4. TOO MANY WORDS A visual models is supposed to take something complex and make it simple. Keep it to between 1-3 words per section on your model. You want to be super concise and clear. For more information visit www.shareyourpassion.com.au/podcast
