A complete BTS of my coaching container

❤️

30 May

When you’re neck deep in running coaching sessions and working with clients, we often don’t pause to reflect on how much you’ve changed. The way you lead your clients and facilitate their wins has changed. The way you present yourself to the world and your energy has changed.

A friend asked me a few weeks ago: "Shruthi, can you give a sneak peek of what you do inside your coaching container?" 

The question fascinated me because I had never put it into words or steps before! I’m simply sharing this to invite you into my world. And if you get any ideas or inspiration from this, I’ll consider myself blessed ❤️🔥

So here you go! A complete sneak peek behind what happens in my coaching sessions and packages!

To give context, if you don’t know what I do already, I’m a soul and heart-led business coach who helps high achievers transition from their corporate job to run a mission-driven, passionate coaching/consulting business.

🌟No topics, blocks, fears, resistances, or limiting beliefs are off the table

🌟 I don't aid my clients in devising the "perfect" business model or getting clients. I trust that my clients know what they truly want. I simply give them tools & exercises to spark the creativity

🌟 Though I devise a plan for the sessions, I allow it to breathe, ebb and flow based on the client's energy at that point. There was a time when I faced intense friction because I thought going with the flow would be too “chaotic”, but no! When I truly listen to my heart, notice the client’s energy, and trust the process, things automatically fall into place.

🌟I am highly spiritual and imbibe that in my coaching too. That doesn’t mean I force my kind of spirituality on someone else. Everyone has their own definition. But the coaching does involve meditations, manifestations, and more. And it’s a wwwiiiillllldddd ride!

🧡In the first few months, there's an intense mindset, spiritual, and deep inner work. Meditations, visualizations, journaling, tapping into our intuitions, addressing fears, trauma & limiting beliefs, etc. [mostly about money and imposter syndrome].

🧡 It then transitions to lifestyle design & vision, focusing on how the client wants to feel when they serve a certain level of client, designing the psychography more than the niche, etc. Here we also define the client's values, WHY, and mission. Again involves a ton of journaling and mind-work. To be honest, it’s everywhere, lol.

🧡After determining whom they want to serve, we go through creative exercises to design their offer(s), business model, and offer suits! There's ample space to access their creativity, go above & beyond, and not give a damn about what others think. I become a mix of coach & consultant here:) Guiding them with advice wherever I can.

🧡 Once they're approximately clear about the offers, packages, business model & whom they want to serve, the process of attracting clients begins (actually? they happen in parallel, haha)Here, we must remember that our business model, marketing strategies, and who we serve are constantly evolving. It’s never set in stone because humans continuously change and evolve. So why not our business? All we try to do in this stage is the first mini-step. And my job is to give you the tools to tap into your heart and pivot as & when you need. That’s it.

🧡We intensely brainstorm content & marketing strategies focusing on their lifestyle and values. Creating a clear plan and get executing. Through the execution process, if the client feels any friction, resistance, or fear, we review & dig deep - change to suit their intuition

🧡 At every step of the way, there's a review to check whether it feels aligned with their higher self, intuition, and the best parts of themselves. By this time, they get their first beta clients and start working with their first paid client!!!!!!!

Of course, each client is different & undergoes extreme transitions through 4 months of coaching. The sessions also change accordingly. But that's the most beautiful part! I'm truly grateful to be working (& worked) with such amazing, self-led, and inspiring men and women. ❤️‍🔥💓

Again, remember, I’m only able to work with these levels of clients because I’m incredibly particular about who I work with. And I also maintain the standards for myself.

Do I expect my clients to invest thousands of $$ in me? Then I invest in mentorship too! [I’ve invested about $3700 this year in coaching and courses, which is mindboggling because the Shruthi a year back would never have had the guts to do it.]

Do I expect my clients to lead, make big, bold moves, and take charge of their own lives instead of being desperate and needing me all the time? I take big, bold moves and lead in my business even though it’s fucking scary.

Do I expect them to lead a frictionless, soulfully aligned business with a whole heart? I periodically do a business audit to weed out parts that don’t serve me to take quantum leaps in business.

You get the point, right?

Why am I telling you this? Because your coaching container not only depends on your package or what you offer. It’s also about you and the level of clients you serve.

When that friction fades, your coaching business, sessions, and containers automatically pick up!

Let me know if you want me to explain what exactly I do behind the scenes, to attract the right clients! I’ll make sure to write an edition about it:)

Do you have any deeper questions about how I run the sessions because you’re working on integrating your whole self into your business? Let me know that too! I reply to every mail 113% of the time!

Want to work with me and take your passionate coaching/consulting business to the next level??

I have a few 1:1 spots opening up for June. Feel free to book a discovery call here!

Until next time,

Shruthi
