Wish you were better at closing sales?
Wish you could get more comfortable selling yourself?
Frustrated because you haven’t found a way to do that without sounding slick and salesy?
Denise is an expert in sales and marketing. She can teach you how to sell by being your most authentic self … by focusing on service. When you use the core competencies during the sales process, you will come from a place of integrity, genuine caring, and a deep desire to serve people and you’re automatically more attractive to potential clients.
Participants will learn to:
1. Talk with potential clients and customers in a way that’s comfortable, authentic, and has their best interests at heart.
2. Ask for the business in a straightforward and non-threatening way… a way that potential clients welcome.
3. Coach potential clients through any concerns or objections they may have. This isn’t about overcoming objections.
4. Close more sales and get comfortable with the process!
You CAN significantly increase your chances of success, but there are some things you have to know…and do… differently to set yourself apart from the crowd.
This workshop is an opportunity to practice using your coaching skills in real life sales situations. Come ready to shift your mindset around selling and see how this impacts your results!

Join us for this "giant think tank", discussing and delving deep into the whole arena of ethics in coaching as it relates to the current version of the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies, updated in 2021. We will introduce important definitions and distinctions that influence one's perspective around ethics.
As coaches, we shape the profession of coaching. How we conduct ourselves impacts how the public perceives the coaching industry. Through our experiential time together, using case studies and examples, we will equip you with tools to explore ethical concerns, including those that lack clear-cut answers. Our aim is that you come away from this program empowered to courageously find your way forward with curiosity and ethical integrity.
Upon completion of this program, attendees will be able to:
