Many coaches and therapists want to grow their businesses to reach more clients but are blocked in marketing. Promoting your services often raises fears of judgment: "What if people don't like me?" or "How can I focus on just one niche?"

Using mindfulness, we can separate our identity from our offers. The success or failure of a marketing message is simply feedback about the marketing, not you.

And for those of you who feel that focusing on a niche is just too small for what you do, tune-in for suggestion that can truly reframe the "that's too small" point of view to one that allows you to fully inhabit your work in a niche, without feeling like you're giving up a larger part of your work.

As strange as it may sound, marketing serves a higher purpose when you serve a higher purpose.

In today's world, marketing is a means of sharing your gifts with people who need them. Instead of experiencing marketing as a dreaded task, it becomes a crucial part of your mission.

Listen in to hear:

• Strategies to work through inner blocks to marketing
• Mindset shifts to align marketing with your mission
• The case for starting a niche when building your coaching business
• Where to find help with technical aspects of marketing
• Inspiration from a mindful marketing expert

In this episode, I'm diving into a topic that can truly elevate not only your coaching but also the quality of your life overall.

This is crucial skill for professional coaches and anyone in a helping role.

It's about a skill that goes beyond active listening - it's called full spectrum listening. This technique involves engaging all your senses to pay attention on purpose, in the moment, and without judgment. And it goes places you probably don't expect.

Here's a breakdown of the topics and where they are in the episode:

00:00:03 - Introduction to Full Spectrum Listening

Brett Hill introduces the concept of full spectrum listening as a refined form of active listening that engages all senses to pay attention in conversations, both professionally and personally.

00:02:36 - Importance of How Things Are Spoken

Hill highlights the significance of the way words are spoken, including pacing, language, emotional intensity, and delivery, emphasizing that these factors contribute to a different experience beyond just the words themselves.

00:06:46 - Spatial Dynamics and Proximity

Hill discusses the importance of spatial dynamics and proximity in communication, sharing a personal experience of understanding personal boundary space and cultural influences on physical proximity in conversations.

00:11:53 - Dual Awareness and Self-Reflection

Hill delves into the concept of dual awareness, where active listening involves paying attention to both the client and one's own responses, thoughts, feelings, and sensations, emphasizing that this self-reflection is an integral part of full spectrum listening.

00:14:28 - Human Senses and Evolution

Hill explores the idea that humans have senses beyond the traditional five senses, suggesting that there are capacities and senses related to group dynamics and reading the room, indicating that these abilities may not be fully developed but are still significant in communication.

00:15:42 - The Power of Group Sense

Brett discusses the concept of group sense and shares his experience with Matrix leadership training. He emphasizes the unique intelligence of a group and the value of developing senses for group dynamics.

00:17:20 - The Role of Coach Intuition

Brett highlights the importance of coach intuition, describing it as a valuable resource in facilitating someone else's process. He emphasizes the need to test and validate intuitive impressions to ensure their usefulness.

00:19:18 - Using Subtle Senses

Brett delves into the use of subtle senses in coaching, acknowledging the potential for specific information to arise through these senses. He emphasizes the value of these senses in deepening understanding and fast-tracking coaching sessions.

00:20:39 - Deep Listening and Mindful Coaching

Brett discusses the significance of deep listening and mindful coaching, emphasizing the importance of being fully present with the client in the moment. He highlights the need for non-judgmental, open listening to fully understand the client's experience.

00:23:51 - Enhancing Client Value

Brett underscores the value of paying exceptional attention in coaching, distinguishing it as a unique and enriching way to relate to others. He encourages coaches to open up their senses to provide exceptional value for their clients and enhance their own satisfaction.
