So, let me guess.<\/p>\n

The honeymoon of your coaching business is over. When you first got into coaching, you were so excited about the impact it had on your life and the open possibilities.<\/p>\n

But you don’t have many clients. And you don’t feel very coach-like anymore.<\/p>\n

Now that you’ve been plugging away at the marketing and business building aspect of being a professional, self-employed coach, you’re not having as much fun. It feels like work. Lonely work.<\/p>\n

Not to mention that marketing is not your thing. It can sometimes feel awkward, forced, heck, even soul-less.<\/p>\n

And it’s starting to piss you off. <\/p>\n

You want this thing called coaching to be fun, exciting, effortless, and – is it too much to ask – profitable. Yes, you want to make some money. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

If this sounds like you, you’ve got to check out Noomii Pitch Fest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pitch Fest<\/em> is a 60-minute telephone conference with the goal of fostering collaboration, creativity, and profit for coaches. At the end of the call, teams of coaches will join forces to bring coaching into the world in a unique way, never seen before.<\/p>\n

Sign Up For Pitch Fest<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuesday May 21st at 12PM Pacific (3PM Eastern)<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

How does it work?<\/h3>\n

Do you have an idea for how you might uniquely serve your ideal coaching clients? Want to write an inspiring book, create a compelling workshop, foster a community discussion, or start a not-for-profit? But could benefit from others with different strengths and skill sets to make it happen? <\/p>\n

Pitch your idea to other coaches and form a team to bring your concept to the world faster, more effectively, and with a lot more fun. <\/p>\n

What if I don’t have any ideas (i.e. I’m not the pitchy type)?<\/h3>\n

No problem. That’s the benefit of collaboration. Some people are good at generating ideas. Others are good at executing on them.<\/p>\n

How many pitches will there be?<\/h3>\n

We are aiming for 5 to 10 but we are open to having more.<\/p>\n

What do I need to include in my pitch?<\/h3>\n

Think of your pitch as a 60-second infomercial. You need to convince the other coaches that your idea has potential. Consider including:
\n– a name or working title for your concept
\n– a clear description of what your idea is
\n– who you serve
\n– what the market potential is
\n– what resources you are looking for<\/p>\n

What happens after the call?<\/h3>\n

You get to decide. If you are the leader of a project and want to keep it going, it’s up to you to move it forward and ask for the support you need.<\/p>\n

Who’s hosting the call?<\/h3>\n

Pitch Fest is hosted by me, Stephan Wiedner, and Melanie Keveles, MCC. <\/p>\n
