About Melinda:

Melinda is a woman of spirit and vision who believes that spirit and business go hand in hand or as she would say, heart in heart, to create great opportunities for people and the world we inhabit. She began her career as a creative interior design professional and manager. Her ability to create systems and organize business and personal spaces to reflect the heart and soul of the owner served her customers well. Melinda discovered bringing subtle amounts of organization to an environment could positively impact the people inhabiting the space.

She then realized the same effect could be achieved by organizing one’s efforts around a central purpose, identifying goals and objectives to drive a person’s daily activities. Melinda excels in her ability to listen and draw a client into meaningful conversations about their desired outcomes and coaching seemed like a natural means to use that talent. Melinda has been a successful coach and consultant ever since her discovery.

As Visionary, President and co-founder of The Coaches Console Melinda has been able to combine spirit and business in a unique manner that allows her to share her knowledge with other coaches to forward their success as well as the coaching industry as a whole.

What we most love about having a coaching business –v- a coaching practice. How Nicola Cairncross created The Money Gym, productised it and then how Judith Morgan joined her, E-Mythed it and how we are moving towards it being a Four Hour Workweek style business.

Get Published. Get Known. Get Clients.
How to leverage writing and publishing to get noticed and build your business.

Getting published will help you get more clients. It’s that simple. Whether in print or online, publishing establishes you as an authority in your field and gives you more credibility.

Often, entrepreneurs set out with absolute passion and excitement for their business and one day wake up feeling like their business is running them instead of the other way around.

“Hi, I’m a coach and I’ll help you achieve your goals”.  Boring!  That kind of wishy-washy, namby-pamby message is going to send people scurrying away rather than rushing to book coaching sessions with you.  Let’s get real.  Being a good coach is NOT enough to get you hired in this economy.  You have to show your prospective clients what you can do for them.  You need to demonstrate why you’re the right choice and why they should even give you the time of day.  Networking meetings, social networking sites and forums are filled with coaches.  Why on earth should anyone choose YOU?  “Because I’m rushing around writing articles, blogging, tweeting, speaking and throwing money at marketing hoping someone will ‘discover’ me and tell all their friends, that’s why”.  Wrong.  “Because I meditate daily on having a full practice and if I dream about it enough it will happen” Wrong, wrong, WRONG!  Stop wasting time and money on marketing which won’t work until you can boldly tell your clients why they should choose you.  In this session discover how to really stand out from the competition (and get some insider’s secrets about marketing yourself as a niche coach).
