Understand the Strategies of Top Executive Coaches

0

Are you struggling to make a mark in your executive coaching business? Are you waiting for a magic wand that can help you succeed? Then you are at the right place and at the right time in your career.

I don’t promise to give you a magic wand but I can share some of the key strategies of top executive coaches that can transform your executive coaching career and give you skyrocketing growth.

In case you are still confused and are not sure how to become a coach then do read this –Become a coach: Pursue your true calling

Let me start with my experience as a coaching mentor.

A few months back, a manager from a renowned organization approached me as he was struggling with the team to achieve new goals. I understood something was going wrong.

If things were not improved soon, it would thwart the manager’s ability to contribute to the organization. I had a meeting with him to understand his problems and see where he was going wrong.

Firstly, the feedback from the team was collected to know how the manager was doing. Later, the printout of the feedback was given to the manager. He went through it in detail and wrote a short brief on each major point.

I helped the manager in tackling one theme at a time. Continuously, we used to meet wherein I guided him in reaching goals.

All the themes were addressed systematically. Six months passed and again the feedback was taken from the team. This time response was different. They had positive reviews.

This is indeed an effective example of how top executive coaches form strategies, implement it and create an impact on the life of an entire team.

Do you always look for strategies of top executive coaches? Do you always wonder how they reach top positions?

I will share all the key strategies of top executive coaches which will give you insight into your executive coaching business.

  1. Solve the issues

A senior manager in an MNC was facing a problem in achieving company targets. He approached me to solve this issue and after listening to it, I realized it was not difficult to handle. I decided not to give him a short-term solution. I understood his problems and asked a few questions. My questions gave clarity to his problems and then he could find solutions to his problems.

Top executive coaches do not just simply give advice, they involve their coachee and make them think out of the box. Let your clients get to the root of the problems to find solutions. They have to spend some time to understand their problems, as clarity will help them to find better solutions.

 

  1. Find out innovative ways

A famous executive coach, Marshall Goldsmith, has written an amazing book- ‘What Got You Here Won’t Get You There’, on effective coaching. Don’t forget to check out the book.

The book’s name is exactly the strategy that implies in today’s scenario. Some years back, I got the opportunity to train a smart founder of a publishing company which was just a start-up.

She had the skills and ability to achieve goals but lacked in bringing her team together. She attended my executive coaching training sessions to unearth her potential. I suggested to her that although she is a knowledgeable person her team also needs proper direction.

They can only work in sync if she tries to inspire them. I was able to help her and informed her that success now depends not only on the quality of her work but also on her ability to inspire her team.

With time, her mindset changed and now she is more expert in leadership skills.

  1. Set realistic goals

Do you know what exactly your goals are or how you can achieve them? What obstacles you may face? You need to ask these questions to the person whom you are coaching.

An app developer named Henry in one of the renowned App development firm faced a problem in the development stage. His goal was to make the app better. But my idea was different. I wanted his company to get recognition and not just create a good app.

For this, I had to provide a lot of inputs and feedbacks. The result was he got recognition for his creation in the digital world. Also, there were various awards collected in the company’s kitty.

Don’t you feel it enhances the value of your journey towards the goal?

 

Same is the case when people are in their early stage of business, they try to unearth their actual goals. Various top executive coaches are there to help them in creating the milestones along with tools to track it.

 

  1. Apply the hidden strengths effectively

Many years ago, an expert product manager attended my coaching sessions. He was an expert in understanding which products would appeal to the mass shortly.

For him, it was not a big deal and didn’t realize his potential. Here my role as an executive coach came in the picture.

Why do you need to neglect your strengths when they can help you grow? I pushed him to use his capabilities effectively and understand how valuable they are.

It helped him in growing his organization and reaching more people. He tried some amazing products which are now worldwide popular.

  1. Slow down in between

Leaders, managers and workforce work on 24/7 schedule. Although it has increased the output, the pressure has accelerated too.

Imagine a workplace where people are working continuously but not connected in any form. Will this team sustain for a longer time?

How will you guide such a team? Even if the team is working effectively, it needs some time to slow the pace and prevent the stage of burnout.

Top executive coaches have said ‘you need to slow down to speed up’. Can you remember a time when you had unplugged yourself from work and spent time with nature?

I suggest many of my clients- watch a sunset or enjoy the things around you. It works and their mind is in complete harmony when they take back the control.

 

  1. Deal with tough times

In 2016 a multinational company contacted me as they were struggling with decreasing turnover. I was appointed as an executive coach to mentor their top executives so that the company can be on track again.

I conducted sessions on ‘how to bring employee engagement’.

So, what do you think, which strategy you should apply here?

Firstly, talk to your employees and be empathetic. Next, maintain eye contact to build trust.

You can involve phrases in your conversation such as “I get it or I’ve been in such situation”. Avoid beating around the bush as well as making the situation feel dire.

Avoid being judgemental. So, what more you need to do differently? I advised the managers to spend 15 to 30 minutes with every team member.

This action helped them to think as a team and they took bold steps to bring the change. Then what? The company’s performance soared high and this time the company knew the importance of employee engagement.

The above event turned fruitful as every team member understood how sharing a thought without engagement proves meaningless.

Another suggestion I gave to one of the executives was to close the office door every day for 15 minutes. Advised him to tell everyone not to disturb for some time. Also, I asked him not to attend any phone or email. It is known as, no contact time.

I informed him this is the time when he should work on issues that require attention on an immediate basis. It worked wonders and he applied this in future too. This strategy I took from most dynamic and top executive coach Jeff Wolf.

 

  1. Build teams through self-involvement

I found in my coaching career that many managers were more into instructing rather than being part of the team. This is where strategies of top executive coaching come in the picture.

It is a lot easier to say than to perform the task.

If you want to build a strong team then you have to involve in the work that your team does and not just instruct.

I have built many teams for my clients by involving myself in teamwork.

The teams realized that I did not want to put them in any trouble and that I was ready to tackle the situation.

This gave them a sense of security and encouraged them to give 100% to their work.

  1. Develop emotional intelligence

There are times when you regret after giving commitments. You need to ask three questions as suggested by Craig Ferguson

Does this need to be said?

Do I need to say this?

Is it the right time to say this?

With the right questions, you can prevent regrets. But the question is why every organization is concerned about engaging executive coaches to help them develop Emotional intelligence behaviors?

According to Goelman, Emotional Intelligence is, “the capacity for recognizing our feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and our relationships.”

Let us understand it through an example.

Robin, a manager in a software company used to avoid discussions about deadlines. This used to trigger him emotionally.

Robin was unaware of this and people around him tried to keep a distance. Hence, he needed an executive coach which could make him realize this.

A coaching program was conducted in which Robin realized that his behavior was creating conflicts with his teammates.

The coach here trained Robin to work on his emotions. He came to know which emotions are driving his behaviors.

Many executive coaches are not trained to assess the emotions and never identify them. Thus, it leads to behavioral change-puzzle.

So, as an executive coach learn to deal with the behavior of your clients.

Like Robin, a person also needs to develop the ability to effectively think as well as act. Thus, it is often suggested to distinguish between positive and negative emotions.

  1. Give statements

If you give people blunt feedback, chances are high they may feel it harsh. What top executive coaches do in such cases?

Let us say you want to give suggestions to someone. Then, you can say, “Lisa, I have some amazing ideas about new projects. It might prove beneficial.

Can I share my views now or if we can discuss in the evening?” This means you are being specific and clear.

Clear statements make communication easy and simple, without creating any conflicts. This is the key to start any conversation.

Don’t forget to check out 20 Most effective coaching techniques as these techniques can make your executive coaching practice more effective and successful.

 

  1. Build a sense of ownership

Let me share an incident here.

Sara, the President of the HR Company was unable to manage her time properly. She was wasting time reacting to smaller issues. In actual, she was not looking at the bigger picture.

Further, Sara could not keep the focus. She spent more time fixing the problem rather than discussing it with the employees.

As a result, she was wasting her time. Her loyal employees were not given proper direction and they remained underperformers. She didn’t like people giving her advice. Also, she was not able to give feedback.

Here came the strategies of top executive coaches. The first and foremost thing which Sara was asked to do was give daily or weekly feedback to employees. This led to accountability.

Now she talked with her team members more often and guided them in the right direction. What if she had just instructed them once a year? Employees would have freaked out. Isn’t it?

Employees were further questioned why they did not follow the policies and apply quality control techniques on time. Proper training was the need of an hour. Sara did all this under the guidance of an expert coach.

What worked here was the scientific approach to the problem. It helped in making the sales double and let Sara get time to focus on various projects. The executive coach understood the human behavior well and so Sara’s weakness was identified at the right time.

More emphasis was given on what activities an executive should do and what not.

During this process, the coach showed Sara two scenarios. The first one was in a positive direction. How in case of plan A, Sara’s team would benefit? Conversely, what are the adverse effects if plan A does not work? Lastly, the critical phase came where the progress was checked.

 

  1. Build strong connections

Do you feel hesitated when you meet someone for the first time? In such cases, you need to find clues as to how the person would like to start the conversation.

I suggested one of my clients start the interaction the way preferred by another person. This way the person will also try to share thoughts as per your preference. Voila, you can build a strong connection with this first step.

The Key To Effective Coaching is a must-read to understand effective coaching skills which can bring a massive change in your coaching programs.

  1. Avoid negative assumptions

It often happens people who think deliberately feel that the person thinking too fast is impulsive and vice versa. How to avoid such negative assumptions? Top executive coaches feel such assumptions hinder the growth of the business.

There was this client who often remained serious and thought logically. She would often judge people and label a person unprofessional whom she found playful.

However, when she came to know how productive the playful person is she realized her fault. Instead of thinking others as less professional she started thinking that people are not like wired like her.

She looked at it neutrally. This helped her in increasing productivity and improving relationships at her workplace.

So, always try to avoid negative assumptions as they are not constructive and may hinder to build strong connections.

 

  1. Ensure goals are backed by visions

Always add why behind your goals. What if the person who you want to coach lacks the action plan or vision? Just imagine a rugby coach trying to bring in coordination among each player’s movement without a predetermined plan.

For instance, top executive coaches always ask why you created the goals.

Are your goals matching with your team member’s view?

Are they in sync with the organizational plans? What will happen if desired results are not achieved?

Ensure goals are backed by passions and visions as these will drive you and your clients to achieve the goals.

  1. Share leadership stories

How top executive coaches use their leadership story? Why do they implement it?

There are various reasons for it. I commonly use this when my clients plan to launch new projects.

I adopted this strategy from top executive coach Warren Bennis who stated about crucible stories. These are the challenges or difficult period of life which lead to new learnings.

In 2018, one of my clients planned to launch a new gadget. He was full of anxiety and doubted whether he can launch it or not. He asked, a series of questions to himself- “Can I pull it off? Will I be successful in developing it? How am I going to accomplish it?”

He approached me with all his doubts to mentor him. All I did was shared some of my inspiring stories to remind him that with his team he can accomplish the task.

Guess what? The stories which I shared, encouraged him and gave him clarity and confidence. He then launched the gadget successfully and won Best employee award that year.

Aren’t stories so powerful? So, don’t forget to inspire your clients through stories.

  1. Be transparent

One must foster transparency within the team by asking questions like:

Do I frequently allow others to know me?

Have I shared my values and thoughts to team members?

Am I clear in making decisions?

All these build trust and form a stronger bond with your team.

Let us look at Success Story of Alabama Power which applied an amazing coaching approach.

Various organizations have applied this strategy.

Here it goes…

Alabama Power (APCO) is a renowned electric company in Alabama. Due to the deregulation of the power market, it was facing major changes. Hence, it developed an executive coaching part of the organization.

In 1997, APCO implemented the executive coaching approach. All the members of the company including the president and senior managers were part of the development program. Trainers were trained so that the effects of the program would pass down through the organization.

The best thing was that each participant was coached to become a coach in the future. It emphasized on the key point that all executive team members will be coaches for other team members. After the training, they were transparent enough to share all the tricks and strategies which they learned.

The whole process resulted in an improvement in leadership skills, collaboration, and effective coaching. Even the Chief Information officer stated that it was the best year for APCO.

 

  1. Develop proper communication styles

For better rapport and effective understanding, top executive coaches modify their communication style.

For example: while cupping hands properly during swimming, the coach may ask the coachee to pretend that he or she is petting a dog. This way the person can apply the correct swimming form.

So, to make the coaching fruitful you have to modify communication styles as per your clients.

Bottom Line:

To fully train the team, executive coaching is an essential tool. For instance, a coach lets the manager deal with office politics by giving insight related to the behavior of peers.

Executive coaches guide the team to improve performance, develop skills, reduce the stress level, build confidence, increase innovation and much more.

15 Quick Tips To Make Your Coaching Blog Stand Out [2020 Edition]

0

Your prospects are looking for the answers to two questions before they hire you.

  1. Are you confident about your offerings?
  2. Will they enjoy working with you?

Through your coaching blog, you can provide evidence for both.

In this digital era, the majority of your audience is accustomed to accessing services through the tap of their fingers. A solid digital presence has become inevitable.

A coaching blog is the best way through which you can assert your digital individuality. Through it, you can exhibit your proficiency to a wider range of audience.

 

Not only this, a coaching blog allows you to establish thought leadership. It gives you a golden opportunity to emerge as the leader of your niche and earn credibility.

There are various other reasons because of which neglecting a coaching blog can prove suicidal. In this blog post, we will uncover them. Additionally, you will also come to know what best practices should you involve while building your coaching blog.

So, let’s begin!

Why is a coaching blog must for your coaching business?

The first impression of your coaching brand

Your coaching blog sometimes builds the first impression on your visitors. If it consists of grammatical or contextual errors or has outdated content, people will think twice before the collaboration.

Your blog can boost your SEO and build your list

Your blog posts can earn you a higher ranking in the SERPs. All you need to do is include rich media, categories, tags, and keywords to attract traffic.

A call-to-action after each blog post that leads your visitor to a free offering or joining your email list is always a great idea. Like for instance my blog post always ends by inviting my visitors for my free Webinar.

 

An optimum frequency of coaching blogs attract visitors

A very general question that pops up while building coaching blogs is- “What should be the ideal monthly frequency?” HubSpot collected the data from more than 13, 500 blogs. When companies posted more than 16 blog posts per month they saw a rise of three and high times in their traffic compared to those who posted just 4 blog entries in the month.

This statistic emphasizes that if your blog has compelling content and it matches an ideal frequency, people will come back to read it.

Build credibility

Your coaching blog is the prime tool that will build your authority. When people read your blog they should realize that you have a strong command over your niche. Your blog should voice their challenges, needs and desires.

Your blog should convince your readers that you understand their problem and have a clear roadmap to overcome the same. This way you will easily earn a high credibility rate.

Build better ways of communication

Blogs are just not meant for showcasing your coaching services. They are a great way to nurture relationships. At the end of your blog posts, you can also ask your readers to provide their valuable feedback.

For instance- “Did you find these tips helpful? Comment below if you would like us to add some points that we haven’t addressed.”

The best method to showcase your commitment and passion

Building a blog means building an entire team of bloggers, editors and digital marketers. This shows how committed you are to contribute to the online community.

Additionally, your blogs reiterate the fact that you are keen to keep yourself updated with the recent trends and technologies in your niche. Not only this you are ready to share this knowledge for the growth of your community. This itself reflects your motive, though process and methodology which lures prospects towards you.

I believe till now you have pretty much realized how crucial a coaching blog is for your coaching service. Now let’s quickly move to some amazing tips to craft a phenomenal blog.

 

Tips for an outstanding coaching blog

First thing- know the “WHY” of your coaching blog

The first thing that you should clear before beginning your blog post is WHY you are blogging. It is extremely easy to blog for enjoyment and hit publish. If you want to go beyond to grow your business then there is much more involved.

Probably you want to grow traffic on your website. Alternatively, building thought leadership and augmenting the stream of knowledge could be your motive. You might post blogs to position yourself as an expert or build your email list. It can also be all of the above!

Whatever may be the answer to your WHY, it should be crystal-clear in your mind. You should drive your energy so that people can know, like and trust you. The reason is that people buy from people whom they know, like and trust.

Build a strategy

A perfect strategy builds the foundation for your coaching blogs.

  • First- consider what kind of content is going to appeal to your audience.
  • Second- curate ways you will spread that content to your target audience.

While looking for what content to create you should concentrate on the pain points of your audience. You will be able to discover these by researching online communities, forums etc.

The best way is to engage directly with your target audience to understand their language and emotions. You need to get hold of the major problems that your audience is facing and then substantiate the same through your ways to overcome them.

Below are some ways to structure your content around your ideal clients:

  1. Filter all the problems that your client typically have and list them down.
  2. Think of the key terms that your client would type in the search engine to find help for their problem and write it down.
  3. Visit forums, communities and groups around your niche and look at what questions are being asked.
  4. Take valuable feedback from current clients and ask what other problems they may have.

If your blog is able to convey this to your audience then converting your prospects to high-end paying clients would become easier.

Secondly, not just blogging but making your blogs reach the target audience is equally crucial. The next target is to look for ways to market your blogs efficiently. They should reach to those whom they are meant for. And that takes us to our next point!

Build a robust share strategy

The share-strategy is extremely important. If you don’t take effective steps here nothing would happen.

 

  • SEO

Working hard on your SEO skills can be a long-winded practice. Though it is indeed valuable there are some smart ways that you should try. For instance, if you are using WordPress then the Yoast Plugin can help you get some hits via your post ranking on Google.

  • Pinterest

One of the best platforms to grow traffic. Sharing your blogs on Pinterest can give a phenomenal boost to your subscriber list and in turn generate great income. You can use tools like Tailwind to help you schedule and grow your traffic through Pinterest.

Facebook still remains a great platform for marketers to gain followers through their blog posts. You can share your posts on either your own Facebook groups or other groups who might have sharing or promo threads. Facebook offers a great option to BOOST your blog post. Though it is a paid advantage it can be a nice way to augment the traffic.

Instagram and Twitter are two other incredible platforms that even outrank Facebook in some cases. When you share your page on Facebook you don’t get much organic reach. Instagram allows you to include a link in your bio if you have 10k followers. Twitter allows you to include links, thus it can be a great match depending on your niche.

  • If you have subscriptions of sites like Yelp and Noomii, you can post your coaching blogs there.
  • If you have any existing email list them make sure to share the blog posts with them too!

NOTE: Remember to include your social media links on your blog so that others can share as well!

 

Take inspiration from other blog sites

Check out the most famous blogs in your niche. Browse through some of the articles to see what they are writing about. Find which topics the readers are finding the most interesting.

This will provide you with various subjects to create your own coaching blog. Along with this don’t bypass the less popular ones. They may also inspire new ideas and topics that your expertise and service can better add value.

Keep yourself updated with the recent news

If you are primarily targeting GOOGLE then you should know that Google’s algorithm updates regularly. One of the major points to concentrate on is that Google focuses on the most recent topics. For instance, if you type Olympics, it will show you the most recent information related to it.

If you want your blog post to rank better in the SERPs then you must blog about topics that are recent and fascinating.

Suppose you are an executive coach and there are any changes in certain government laws that could directly or indirectly affect your practice. Now you should be the first one to understand the same, and make it available for your audience.

If ICF comes up with changes in some certification pattern, you as an industry expert should be active enough to let your community know the consequences through your blog post.

This will work two ways- First, it would build gather attraction from the search engines [providd you have devoted enough time on your SEO practice as well]. Second, it will let your audience understand that you are an active, committed and thoughtful leader who is actually thinking beyond just business.

Outline your blog post

The outline of a coaching blog renders the blog a perfect structure and prevents it from going off track. After selecting your blog topic to create a rough outline that would guide the flow. Take care to focus on the following points.

  1. Get an enchanting headline: Your headline acts as the bait. If your bait is good, people will bite.
  2. Short intro: Keep the introduction short and simple and focus on creating curiosity to grab the attention of the user for the rest of the content.
  3. Main content: Organize the content of your blogs with perfect subheadlines to enhance the readability.
  4. The last impression means a lot: Write an impactful conclusion with a Call-to-Action.

 

Share your personal experiences and self-help coaching techniques on your coaching blog

You need to provide your blog post with an emotional touch to be able to connect with your audience. Sharing your personal experiences can be a great way of doing so. This can also include success stories which depict how your expertise helped people bring in the transformation.

If the content resonates well with your prospects then there are high chances that you can convert them into paying clients.

Sharing tips and techniques that can enable your audience to take some steps on their own to find a solution is another great way. This will increase the awareness of you and your coaching business. It will also help you to establish yourself as an authority in your coaching business.

While sharing your personal stuff, keep one thing in mind- Avoid being boasting or sounding pushy. Your readers are smart. They will themselves come to know what value you have added in the past and what benefits you can bring to them. You need to convey your proficiency naturally and then leave it on your readers to gauge.

Write evergreen content on your coaching blog

 

Evergreen content means one that will remain fresh long after its publication date also. Yes, you should have bog post that covers the recent coaching trends and news as discussed above but at the same time, you should also have certain blogs which keep on adding value to the readers or long.

This way you can recycle and promote the blog post again and likely achieve the same success ratio.

Some examples of evergreen content can be:

  • Beginner’s guide…
  • How to…
  • Top tips to…
  • Questions and answers…
  • Best practices…

Encourage and engage comments on your coaching blog

At the end of the coaching blog, you should encourage your readers to share their feedback as a comment. Thereafter provide quick and meaningful response in the comments.

For instance, if someone praises you for your points, thank him/her wholeheartedly for devoting time to read and mention how valuable it means for you.

If someone is not happy or want you to make some additions, let them know that you respect their viewpoint and would accommodate the same.

This way the audience would be more excited to come to you. The reason is that people just don’t want to read but they want to be heard too. If they feel that they are being heard, they would come back with their suggestions in future.

 

Add attention-grabbing media to your coaching blog

Long blog posts will definitely rank good as SEO practices can be incorporated thoroughly. Also, they would act as a perfect dish with all the ingredients at the same place so that your readers don’t need to struggle.

Now, the problem comes when your blog is a plain content stuffed page with no grabbing elements to break the monotony. Yes, distraction some time is important to get the attention back (Think deeply ;)).

This is why you need rich media on your blog. Yes, it will contribute to the SEO as well but a greater purpose is to please your readers with visuals. Infographics, GIFs, short videos, images- add the cherry on the cake. If your blog is devoid of these, you are at great risk, my dear!

 

Give a shot to guest-blog posts

Considering inviting guests to post content on your blog is not a bad idea. You can even collaborate with some influencers in your niche and request them to post for your blog. This way you can attract their audience base to increase your own email list.

This way you can also nurture your relationships with other influencers and contributors. Networking has great power that you can leverage for yourself. Take care to avoid connecting with direct competitors.

 

Stay connected

You should actively maintain the presence on your blog and be fast in responding to the queries and questions of your readers. Value the feedback of your readers and imbibe the new learnings and insights. This will help you to improvise your content, make it more customer-oriented and in turn fetch you more clients.

Build confidence in your expertise

Your blogs should work as a sample for your readers to see what they will achieve is they worked with you one on one. You need to convince your move from visiting your blog to hiring you. One way can be to break your blogs into specific lessons. This way you can showcase your expertise.

Additionally, you can also mention how your past clients achieved success through your teachings. Thus the goal is two-fold. Firstly you are proving what you are talking about. Secondly, you are making the readers more familiar with your working methodology as well as building social proof.

You are a coach with a blog, not a blogger who sometimes coaches

Yes, Blogging is important but let not your coaching business take a backseat to the blog. If you will blog too often then this would make your audience comfortable with your content. They will forget all about coaching and your coaching services.

You need to consistently remind your readers that you can work one-on-one with them for extra support. So your blog act as just the path to take your readers to the last mile- one-to-one coaching session.

Whenever your blog, always remind your audience about the services you offer. Take care to craft that message in a way that is relevant to them and their needs.

 

Don’t be scared to give away free content on your coaching blog

Many coaches that I meet believe that if they would provide much valuable free content to their clients then they won’t land up to their coaching sessions. Actually this is a very short-term vision.

Reading an article and working with a coach one on one is not the same thing. In fact, the more valuable content you publish the more people will know, like and trust you. This way they would be more likely to directly work with you.

Your prospects don’t only want the theoretical knowledge but they want access to you. They want someone to be beside them and answer their questions directly rather than interpreting a post. They want specific answers that are tailored to their situations which they can apply to their lives.

Your blog can provide them with help on a surface level but for deeper support, they will approach you.

They want and need YOU and your blog is the way of attracting them to you!

A coaching blog is a must to showcase your expertise, build authority, connect with your audience and convert prospects into clients. If you want to build a solid presence for yourself then blogging regularly is inevitable. You might not realize it now but your coaching blog will be a treasure for your coaching business.

So, what’s the holdup? Start blogging today! Unveil the secret of skyrocketing the growth of your coaching business.

So, why think more? Get ready, steady, go!

So are you ready to become a coach?

Are you?

Yes, you are…of course, you are. So why are you waiting?

How to Become a Career Counselor (And Grow Your Career Coaching Business)

0

One of the most significant decisions that any person can make when it comes to their professional life stems from the career path they want to settle on.

It’s a task that’s easier said than done, since most people who are thrust into this decision don’t have all the information required to make sure that they – for lack of a better phrase – don’t screw up.

After all, making a wrong choice when it comes to this monumental decision will lead to a lot of regrets further down the line that anyone is just better off avoiding.

To ensure that other people who are just starting off when it comes to their career don’t experience any major regrets later on, you can choose to aid them in their decision-making process by turning yourself into a highly efficient and insightful career advisor.

Of course, it’s not like only newbies will request your services – even people who’ve worked in a professional capacity for a decade or two might need your advice as well.

One thing is guaranteed – you’re bound to meet people from different backgrounds and industries, each of whom will have different problems.

So, sit back and read this article to get an in-depth look at how to become a career counsellor.

Before we start off, it’s time to ask what might just be the most fundamental question of them all…

What is a career counsellor?

 

A career counsellor is an individual who is well-versed when it comes to multiple career paths, and has an in-depth knowledge when it comes to directing a person’s career path based on their strengths.

What does a career counsellor do?

The main aim of a career counsellor is to ensure that any person who is availing their service gets a clear idea about their strengths and weaknesses, after which they can consult the professional in question on which path will suit them the best.

Why do people opt for the services of a career counsellor?

 

Officebroker.com recently did a study to measure employee satisfaction, and the results were quite glaring.

  • 77 percent of workers sometimes felt that their career choice was misguided.
  • 23 percent said that they were perfectly content with the job they had.
  • 35 percent said that their current job was tedious and they wished for something more impactful.
  • 31 percent stated that they wanted a career path that offered more money.
  • 7 percent wished that the career path they’d chosen wasn’t so stressful or demanding.

This is why career counselling has become such a hot topic of interest; most people want to be more than just an irrelevant statistic in the long term, when it comes to their professional life.

If you truly want to excel in the field of career counselling (and grow your career coaching business by an impressive amount), then the first thing you need to be absolutely clear about is the reason as to why any person would want career coaching in the first place.

  1. Lack of direction:

The majority of people who opt for career counselling services feel like they’re heading nowhere when it comes to their professional life.

This depressing mentality might stem from numerous problems and bad choices that they’ve already made in their career path, or from a general feeling of not knowing what career will give them the highest level of job satisfaction in the long run.

It’s up to you as a career coach to make sure that your clients can shake off this feeling of hopelessness, and figure out what their skillsets will allow them to accomplish.

This is one of the primary reasons why career coaching services are gaining so much traction nowadays, so keep this in mind at all times whenever you are coaching someone about the best career path that can be taken.

  1. Inadequate experience:

It’s human nature for anyone to feel like they might not want to start off on the wrong foot from the get-go. After all, starting careers can prove to be quite hectic, and switching out to something else is even more stressful.

So, people who happen to have these lingering thoughts would obviously like to make sure that they don’t embark on their professional journey with a handicap.

This is where your services as a career advisor come into play. You need to alleviate this stress that your client might be experiencing, and drill it into their heads that they will have multiple opportunities in the lifetime.

Panicking about this – especially during the initial moments of their career – is unnecessary, and they need to look at the big picture.

  1. Little to no focus:

As a career counsellor, you’ll inevitably meet a swath of people, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

Sometimes, for these people, the main problem is that they’re simply not willing to apply themselves, even though what they’re doing – or what they can possibly do – is something that they’re extremely good at.

These people need a push in the right direction, so that they’re motivated enough progress down the career path of their choice.

And guess who the person who’ll push these people is? That’s right, it’s – and no points for guessing who it is – you, and your expertise as a career coach.

By pushing all the right buttons, what you essentially need to do is activate the dormant potential hidden in your client, and compel them to work to the best of their ability so that they can find the key to unlock the door of success.

  1. Dissatisfaction

It’s human nature to feel like the grass is always greener on the other side, no matter where it might be. This includes their position in a professional capacity as well.

No matter how impactful one’s position might be, a person might try to fish out reasons why they don’t feel like the work they’re doing is satisfactory. This can be due to various reasons that range from a personal to a monetary spectrum.

As a career counsellor, it’s up to you to figure out exactly what problems are affecting your client, and gauge whether these concerns are legitimate or fabricated.

After doing so, you need to help your client either feel comfortable with what they’re doing, or figure out the best course of action that can be taken to make sure that your client can achieve the sense of satisfaction they’re desperate for.

What skills are ideal for a career counsellor?

  1. Empathy and Insight:

This might seem cliched, but putting yourself in the shoes of your client can do wonders, especially when it comes to making the best decision that will secure the long-term future of your client’s career.

You need to empathise with your client and understand his problems from his perspective – a task that’s certainly easier said than done.

However, only by doing so will you be able to attain a greater level of clarity when it comes to what your client would be good at, considering his skill-set and interests.

After all, the main reason why people seek the services of a career coach is to consult a reliable third-party and receive quality advice, and these insights can only be provided if you understand the ins-and-outs of what your client feels.

  1. Communication and Listening:

However, the points discussed above don’t imply that you need to judge your client from his initial impression.

A first impression does play a huge part when it comes to analysing your client’s character, but taking this to be the golden rule will end up spelling disaster for both you and your client’s career.

Therefore, make sure that you communicate with your client and understand precisely what he wants in a professional capacity.

This includes being patient and listening to what your client has to say, no matter how off-topic or insignificant the topic of conversation might be.

It’s imperative to make your client feel comfortable (especially since they’re talking to someone who is essentially a stranger), and excellent communication skills will go a long way in achieving this goal.

  1. Flexibility and Tolerance:

We just discussed how your client might have the penchant to go off-topic and talk about topics that are not even related to the reason why he even chose to speak with you in the first place.

And, trust us when we tell you that this will be a frequent occurrence, especially in your line of work.

After all, one of the major aspects of human nature is a need to vent, and keeping all of their frustrations (and in some cases, achievements) bottled down can prove to be extremely unhealthy from a mental standpoint for your client.

So, it’s of the essence to have a tolerant mindset and be flexible when it comes to what your client exactly needs from the conversation he’s having with you.

  1. A non-judgmental mindset:

Perhaps the hardest skill that one needs to develop as a career counsellor is to listen to their clients and take their problems seriously, instead of scoffing at what might seem like nothing more than silly complaints.

The truth of the matter is that what might seem insignificant to one person can mean the world to someone else.

If clients can pick up on the fact that you aren’t taking their problems seriously, then you might as well say goodbye to your chances of becoming a good counsellor – let alone a successful one.

So, make sure that your client is comfortable enough to voice their opinions without feeling threatened in any way, shape, or form. Building this rapport will undoubtedly pave the way to success when it comes to your venture in the field of career coaching.

And – as a side note of sorts, if you will – if you’re wondering whether being a career counsellor requires a certification of some sort, let us quell your doubts by saying that any form of qualification is not necessary.

While it certainly won’t hurt to go through a certification course from reputed sources like INSEAD, you can very much start off on your journey to become a coach without having to be certified.

So, what’s the difference between a career coach and a life coach?

While both designations might have something in common, there are still many things that are essentially different. Of course, looking at the names itself will give you a basic idea on the difference between a career advisor and a life coach.

While a career coach is generally limited to advising from a professional standpoint, a life coach will approach this conversation from a broader spectrum. Anything and everything that might be affecting their client’s behaviour is on the table.

While this certainly doesn’t imply that, as a career coach, you have to ignore these topics completely, you should still discuss certain aspects of your client’s personal lifestyle – especially if they’re affecting his professional life as well.

However, at the same time, you still need to keep in mind at all times that you are not providing your services to improve your client’s entire lifestyle. Your main aim is to shape a person’s career in a manner that will satisfy them the most, and nothing else.

Trying to provide life advice regularly won’t be a wise choice by any means. After all, the same principles that will apply towards making a person’s career better won’t hold fast for their personal life by any means.

Today I would be sharing some great tips and strategies of top business coaches that will help you achieve phenomenal growth in your business.

If you’re curious to be an expert as a business coach or move up in your career- you will like this article.

Be ready to learn the top secrets and methodologies that I have used to upscale my business. If you are dedicated and determined to learn and apply these tips then nothing can stop you from achieving sky-high growth.

Reaching so far in your career is not easy and moving forward also won’t be a cakewalk but together we can carve the path for your success. Are you excited and ready?

Let me first discuss some of the basics of being an expert business coach.

 

Who is an expert business coach?

Are you thinking expert business coaches are coaches with supernatural powers? Is that your image of expert coaches? If yes, then you are wrong!!

When I entered the coaching industry even I had this picture in mind. However, with several years of experience as an expert, I realized that an expert business coach is someone who aligns their strategies and methodologies as per business goals. As an expert, you should achieve continuous growth for your clients’ business.

You as an expert business coach should have expertise and experience to make your clients’ business successful.

Are your clients achieving success with your expertise and experience? No? Then you have to work hard to get there. You as an expert have to set certain guidelines that would help you to achieve continuous growth for your clients’ business.

I will share a few guidelines that you should follow and see the difference in your coaching approach.

 

Creating accountability

Do you think creating accountability might discourage your client to connect with you? Are you hesitating to promote self-discipline and make everyone accountable? Yes? Then this is the biggest roadblock for you to be an expert business coach.

My first guideline for you is, you should promote self-discipline and make everyone accountable. You have to set goals for your clients’ actions and make them accountable for their growth.

You have to foster positive accountability for your actions too. You are equally responsible for your clients’ profits and losses.

You don’t have to penalize anyone but make everyone liable and answerable for their respective actions.

Accountability creates full participation and empowers everyone to achieve their goals.

 

Accelerating business growth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think- what can accelerate business growth? How can you achieve growth for clients’ business?

As an expert, you have to understand and identify strength, weakness, opportunities, and limitations of the business. Once you are through with this step then you have to build strategies and preventive measures that can accelerate business growth.

Create a concise plan for your clients to achieve their goals. Find innovative methods for their business and use appropriate marketing tools to build their brand.

You have to optimize all the resources to full potential to achieve maximum growth. Got it? It means you have to find out methods to utilize the available resources to its maximum level to achieve maximum growth for your clients’ business.

 

Finding business success formula

Is it difficult to find business success formula? Are you confused and wondering- what could be a standard formula for all the business?

What if I share with you secret business success formula that you could apply to all the businesses? Yes, you read it right, one secret formula and i.e. keep the customers happy.

You have to understand the customer behaviour of your clients’ business. This will help your clients to build the best products for their customers. This will be a win-win situation for you and your clients.

Hiring the right people

Do you have talent strategy for your clients? Do you know the exact requirements of your clients? If not, then first find out what your clients want. After that find out what skill sets and experience are required for the candidate.

Always hire quality people and see the candidate is a cultural fit for the company or not. Also, check what the candidate can offer to the company’s growth.

You as an expert business coach should know to hire the right people for the right job at the right time. Any business can achieve growth if the people in the company are skillful and creative.

 

Developing winning strategies

You must be thinking about how to develop winning strategies, right? Don’t worry I am there this side.

Firstly, you have to analyze strengths and weaknesses, assets and liabilities, profits and losses of your clients’ business. Secondly, analyse the company’s operating environment, customers, stakeholders, and competitors. This will give you a comprehensive picture of your clients’ business.

To create a winning strategy you have to be futuristic as an expert. You have to build a strategy where all the resources are fully optimized for the company’s growth.

 

What types of people hire an expert business coach?

 

Are you aware of the demand for an expert business coach? You are in the era of high rise coaching industry. However, this was not the case when I started. Coaching industry has seen massive growth in all the niche and by 2022, business coaching practice will grow by 6.7%.

In today’s competitive world every business needs an expert coach to build their business. They need advice and guidance to be successful. You can guide entrepreneurs and professionals to achieve their goals.

 

Start-ups

Look around, you will see many start-ups at their early stage of business. They all are waiting to be mentored by experts. What are you waiting for? Just grab this opportunity and connect with start-ups. I have mentored many start-ups at the beginning of my career which helped me to grow as a business coach.

Start-ups face a lot of challenges due to the dynamic market environment. They need expert mentors who can understand and explain the complex environment. You can help to make a solid plan to achieve the goals of the business.

It’s the right opportunity for you to use your experience and expertise to build the path for start-ups.

 

Multinational Companies

Now, you must be thinking why MNCs need business coaches, right? MNCs need expert business coaches as they undergo constant changes in their organization.

As per my experience, MNCs need expert coaches to motivate their employees and build the right team for them. I am part of many MNCs and have been successful in building teams and employee retention.

You have to act as a catalyst to the employees so that they are motivated and loyal to achieve the business goals of their companies. You have to strengthen employees’ skills which can help them to be more efficient and productive.

 

Intellectual professionals

I have seen many professionals lack marketing skills and are unaware of digital media. You have to use your skills and help them build marketing strategies that will be fruitful for their future.

Professionals have knowledge and expertise but confused to take decisions. In that case, you have to guide professionals and share your expertise and experience.

 

Entrepreneurs

A lot of innovations have taken place and the technology is growing every day. With this, the entrepreneurs also need to improve and match with the time.

They have limited team base and thus, you as an expert coach have to guide them on how to use resources well. This will improve the productivity of entrepreneurs and in turn maximize profit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do expert business coaches do?

You must be wondering what role as a business coach you need to perform.

When I was given the role of a business coach, I didn’t come up with the introduction or the outcome of the whole story. I actually came with blank pages which were not even filled by me. All I had to do was give those blank pages to the client. The team members and the leaders used to fill in those pages.

Hence, you must have got it clear the expert business coach just guides the team with concepts and tools so that the team can write a story which is meaningful.

Are you still thinking how practically the illustration of a story works? What exactly you as a business coach need to do for achieving desired goals?

It is simple you do not spoon-feed the team to move from point A to point B. You are just there to guide them and let the business find the issues and resolve them. You as an expert can sharpen your skills and check which 21 coaching skills every successful coach needs.

I also believe that as an expert business coach you need to bring in new ideas. Don’t you think that is what actually defines discovery? You need to discover the strengths and weaknesses too, both at the individual as well as company level.

Remember, I mentioned previously that I do not write any business story. I just hand over the tools to the team members and they do the writing. Hence, once the strength and weaknesses are understood, proper planning is possible.

I make sure the strengths of individuals are in alignment with the mission of the company. For weaknesses, all you need to do is identify them and then eliminate them.

 

As an expert business coach, you should be good at:

Organizing & Planning

You make sure that all the organizational process is in place. For instance, I used to create logical systems which would work wonders in achieving business goals.

 

Finance & Funding

Why knowledge about managing finances is essential? The answer is to create pricing strategies for your clients and bringing funds. It involves an understanding of profit and loss ratio and managing cash flows.

 

Marketing & Branding

Do you think business would perform without promotion? No, of course not. You should select the right channel for advertising. This is the time when your public relation skills work. You should also develop branding strategies to upscale the business.

 

Operations & Strategy

Operation and strategies form the core of any business. Business operations depend on the smooth functioning of all the departments. With my previous experience in operating a business, I could resolve issues effectively. You should form strategies which help in placing the company in the right place.

 

Human Resource Management

People are an important resource of any business for achieving 100% success. I often came across people who were disappointed and demotivated. Building a positive mindset is essential. Will you be able to work if your mind is upset? An expert business coach understands this and does not overlook the needs of the team.

Why do people hire expert business coaches?

Keep and Emergent Research had found that, out of 94 percent small business owners surveyed, only 65 percent were sure they would achieve their business goals. This is where an expert business coach comes into the picture.

It is known that successful people have experts behind them. One business owner told me that his business is 20 years old. He wanted to take his business to the next level and so, he appointed an expert business coach.

When you see around you will see people want to up their game in the business and are ready to hire business coach expert.

Expert business coaches are hired because they bring invaluable growth to the company.

Expert coaches motivate and guide people to face challenges and overcome failures. This helps to overcome all roadblocks and achieve the targets.

Find your industry and niche

Do you ever feel stuck in your business and confused regarding how to get new clients?

As an expert, it is very important to find industry for your business expertise. If you want to be successful then you must choose a particular niche. It is required to earn millions each month and get impressive results too. If you don’t specialize then you will be lost in the crowd.

I was clear that my weakness was not being able to identify who all are my ideal clients and how best I could serve them. For this, I consulted certain marketing experts too. One of them advised me to research the potential industry in detail. This is because different industries have different qualities. For example, some niches have a problem but lack the money to pay the fee.

You must ask questions as below:

Which of the needs of the clients are under-served?

Check out the list of your favourite clients. Ask yourself why they are your priority.

If you target everyone and do not find a niche it may harm you in the long run.

Select one industry from different industries available in the marketplace. Once you select the industry it will be easy for you to understand your clients’ requirements.

What is the major requirement of your client? And how you are able to connect it with your expertise?

Thus, having a specific niche makes it easier to play your role and stand out in this competitive world.

Don’t forget to check 40 coaching tools to grow your coaching business after you finalize your niche and industry.

Do I need business coaching certification?

Do you think you have those qualities to become an expert business coach? You are not the only one. There are many expert business coaches in this field.

But how did they actually become an expert coach? Did they apply for any course or certification?

There is no need for a certification to become a business coach. Yet, for the credibility purpose business coaches need certification.

So what all certifications are there?

International Coach Federation (ICF) and World Coach Institute (WCI) provides certifications to coaches. Certification helps you develop associations with other certified coaches. This network of people will help you to build your brand. It is important to gain experience and develop great skills if you are part of any certification course.

Institute for Transformational Leadership at Georgetown University offers the “Executive Certificate in Leadership Training” program. This program is appropriate for students who are eager to coach business leaders and is provided on-campus only. The program charges $11,995 and is accredited by the ICF.

Another program is offered through Duquesne University School of Business which is affiliated under ICF and tuition fee is $7,295.

Before enrolling you must ask: How they provide the coaching online or classroom or combination of both? What is the duration of the course? What materials are included in the course?

After you get answers to all your questions and are satisfied then you can do the certification.

 

How much does an expert business coach earn in 2020?

The coaching industry is growing at a rapid speed over the past decade. This is because many businesses are hiring coaches to achieve their goals. The study suggests that only a small percentage of people have hired coaches. Still, a large number of entrepreneurs and professionals are yet to hire coaches.

Business coach practice will grow at a rate of 6.7% by the year 2022. Coach profession has a great future wherein you can earn $235/hr or even more as per the size of the business. Experienced coach charge somewhere around $400/hr to $2,000/hr.

Don’t you feel there are high chances of earning great money in this profession?

You have great demand as people are ready to hire skilful coaches to achieve better results. There are higher chances for you to upscale your brand. All you need to do is cultivate a high-quality clientele.

World’s top 5 business coaches you must follow

 

Now the question is who you should follow.

How do successful business coaches help their clients?

You may think business coaches are only focused on motivational speaking. However, that is not the case. For this, you need to observe the qualities of best remarkable leaders:

John Mattone

He is a global leader and has shared a lot of brilliant thoughts on how to develop a coaching brand. John Mattone quoted, “It’s not about the organization you want to create, it’s about the organization you must create.”

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith

He makes leaders believe in themselves. His methods are practical and tested. Coaches should shift their focus from themselves to their client to be an expert. Dr. Marshall Goldsmith quoted, “People who want to succeed see opportunities where others see threats.”

Tony Robbins

He is one of the well-known life coaches in the world His mantra is, if coaches do what they have always done then they will get what they have always got. He has aspired people to think and take actions. Many well-known people like Bill Clinton and Oprah have taken guidance from him.

Paul Martinelli

Paul Martinelli said, “You get what you fight for.” It is clear through this that if you want to achieve your dreams then be ready to fight for it. It is better to spend time on what you like and achieves success.

Dr. Marcia Reynolds

She is an expert in understanding the minds of people and thus, transforming the behaviour. Dr. Marcia believed, “Effective leaders help others think more for themselves.” Her coaching has helped people in achieving effective conversations.

Do read about the top 20 business coaches in the world and get inspired.

Top qualities you should own to be an expert business coach

What traits you must possess as a business coach?

This is essential. You may think that certification is enough. Whatever I achieved is not just because of degree but the qualities which I have learned in my journey:

 

Learning & Innovating

Do you believe in trying new ideas? What will you do if plan A fails? A business coach should always have a positive attitude towards learning new things. This comes with experience and the amount of time you give.

Instead of getting upset, you need to look at the big picture. Creating new strategies would help the business grow. If any plan fails, innovative thoughts are the need of an hour.

Marketing & Networking

How good you are at communicating? Are you aware of various promotional strategies? As a business a coach you should know how to sell ideas.

The business will expand only if coaches market it well. You need to identify who to contact and how.

Determination & commitment

These two qualities of business coaches help them to be always with their clients. What will you do if your client is worried about the upcoming risk?

You need to show your determination and full commitment.

Association & Evaluation

Don’t you think if you form teams, you would deal with problems in a simpler manner? Indeed, you will. Another part is evaluating the situations.

During critical times, you need to analyse things and then take decisions. For instance, try the 360-degree approach which I used to do often for checking results.

Appreciation & Altruism

I believe in the magic of appreciation and altruism. I always appreciate people around me as it brings a sense of positivity and responsibility in them.

In the journey of business coaching, you have to be selfless to your clients. If you are selfish then you will not be 100% true to your clients and that association will not go a long way.

Are you ready to become an expert Business Coach?

Are you?

Yes, you are…of course, you are. So why are you waiting?

In such unprecedented times, it is vital to have a structured COVID-19 workplan for the workplace. This workplan should integrate training into it. The idea of employee COVID-19 training is simple on the surface, until one dives deeper to determine how that training will be tracked and unified across a business.

The COVID-19 Employee Protection Fundamentals Online Training Program is demonstrating to be a result-driven model to support businesses in streamlining their labors to protect their workforce through a simple, 45-minute program. This 45-minutes of basic training may help reduce the spread of the virus and increase protection amongst our labor force in America through tracking, training, and protecting.

There is nothing in the training that can’t be already be learned on the CDC website or other media platforms. What is innovative is the solution to track training, streamline learning, and help protect the businesses’ workforce. Certificates are provided, as well as the option for businesses with larger volume to receive e-rosters or .csv files for documentation.

OnePgr launches E-Learning Solution for Educators: Online classes with Lesson Plans and Video Conferencing lectures

0

With statewide school closures, educational institutions and learning centers like Kumon and Aloha Mind Math are researching how to best deliver high-quality distance learning programs for their students. This starts with the ability for faculty and educators to quickly replicate their entire hierarchy of existing classes and courseware for delivery through an online format. Uniquely suited to meet this challenge, the OnePgr E-Learning solution couples static content (e.g. lesson plans, handouts) with a real-time communication and collaboration platform. It is designed to simplify the workflow for teachers so they can easily set up content and deliver lectures via video conferencing.

At the crux of making distance-learning opportunities happen, is the teacher. They need the convenience and capability of quick course spin up. This includes matching students with teachers, sessions with teachers, delivering homework assignments, in-session lectures, and fostering guidance and feedback when necessary.

“OnePgr ELearning has allowed us to continue to deliver lessons as we all go through an unprecedented time,” observed Vikas Shyam of Aloha Mind Math, Allen, TX. “In addition to its no-download, secure, browser-based video lectures, it allowed us to set up a page for each class where students do not have to worry about tracking down Join URL’s. Page bookmarks allow us to embed tools to assess students’ understanding and aid in learning,” said Mr. Shyam.

“Unlike traditional collaboration products,” said Rajiv Saxena, CEO of OnePgr, Inc. Mr. Saxena added “OnePgr is uniquely designed to empower educators today so they can quickly organize and deliver online classes to reflect the entire course hierarchy. Each classroom can be set up as a secure, persistent Class Page with synchronous (live chat, HD video lectures) and asynchronous (documents, notes, bookmarks) communication features. This allows us to support all student/teacher activities that happen before, during and after any live class,” said Mr. Saxena.

Rupali Malhotra, Owner of Gurus Education East Bay was quick to set up online classes providing continuity of education to her learning center students and observed “OnePgr E-Learning solution has enabled us to seamlessly roll out an online experience with Video Lectures and Class Pages for our teaching staff and students. It is very easy to use and understand even for elementary school kids. OnePgr allows us to host lesson plans, documents, video lectures, and recordings for our classes so students have access to all relevant information on their fingertips at all times — you can truly find everything on ‘One Page’ as the name OnePgr suggests.”

Bridging the gap between your courseware, the online meeting, and all the pre and post meeting activities in between, OnePgr E-Learning simplifies the user experience for everyone implementing distance learning programs. Standard pricing starts at $14.99/Teacher/Month but, given the unprecedented times, service will be offered for at-cost pricing to K-12 schools and other institutions who might benefit from it.

Footwear Sanitizing Station Eliminated 100% of Coronavirus in Just Eight Seconds

Innovative new product from PathO₃Gen Solutions could reduce the spread of COVID-19

April 16, 2020 – St. Petersburg, FL – The United States has seen over half a million coronavirus cases thus far and sadly, over 23,000 individuals have died from the disease. Both figures are set to increase as the U.S. braces for the coronavirus peak. There is a race to combat the Coronavirus, but a working vaccine is still estimated to be around six months away. In the meantime, Americans are seeking a way to control and stop the spread of the coronavirus. Florida-based PathO₃Gen Solutions have stepped up to the plate to help in the battle against the disease launching the innovative Footwear Sanitizing Station (FSS).

The FSS works in as little as eight seconds and has a kill rate of up to 99.999% for bacteria, and fungi and yielded an elimination rate of 100% for the Coronavirus. The American-made sanitizing station is easy to use. People simply step onto the unit, activating the sanitizing process, stand for a few seconds, and step off when the “ready” light turns green. This light lets people know that their shoes have been disinfected and that they can safely step into a controlled facility or high-risk environment.

PathO₃Gen Solutions designed the first and only footwear sanitizing station to feature Ozone + UVC, a patented and proven revolutionary technology. The technology utilizes a unique combination of natural elements to kill pathogens and destroy up to 99.999% of bacteria and fungi, and 100% of Coronavirus before they become airborne and spread to other people and high touch surface areas. By lowering the overall microbial load, the FSS directly lowers infection rates and creates much healthier environments for everyone entering the facility.

As the coronavirus spreads, footwear is a transportation system for germs, enabling the disease to move from place to place. Hospital workers, nurses, and doctors can spread the coronavirus through the soles of their shoes leading to an increase in contamination. The implementation of the Footwear Sanitizing Station easily reduces the risk of individuals transporting the coronavirus to others by sanitizing footwear in 8 seconds, before and after entering a facility or high-risk environment.

Floors are a significant source of disease and germs, and one that is often overlooked. According to experts, Americans should treat their footwear as if it were contaminated. This means removing shoes when at home and washing their hands after handling footwear. However, not everyone has this opportunity. Essential workers are on the frontlines around the clock fighting against the coronavirus and are most at risk of both contracting the disease and spreading it. The Footwear Sanitizing Station offers individuals and businesses peace of mind when at work, and acts as a visible sign of safety.

About PathO₃Gen Solutions

PathO₃Gen Solutions’ mission is to create cleaner and safer environments by using their revolutionary Ozone + UVC technology. Opportunistic pathogens can infect humans rapidly, and the Footwear Sanitizing Station offers a proactive solution. The Footwear Sanitizing Station yields results in a matter of seconds, preventing pathogens from entering a facility thus lowering its microbial load.
