How can you improve client interaction as a black coach ? I wanted to share some insights on how I’ve been helping black coaches, improve their client interactions. Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing individuals, and I’ve seen firsthand how small changes can make a big difference. Here’s what I do: 1. Efficient Scheduling 2. Set up Client Management Tools 3. Personalized communication 4. Feedback intergration 5. Creating and fostering a supportive environment Why does this matter ? For many black coaches, building meaningful connections with clients goes beyond business; it’s about community and empowerment. My goal is to provide the support they need to create these connections and excel in their coaching careers. If you’re a coach looking to enhance your client interactions or know someone who might benefit from these services, let’s connect! I’d love to share more about how I can help.

The top 3 things I learnt from spending a week at Dan Pena's castle 1) Have a thick skin, business is tough, people will do you over, call you names and lie about you. Dan Treats his mentees tough to prepare them for this. 2) You can improve your chances of winning against people smarter than you simply by out working them. Dan makes you stay up late watching videos about business while having a few drinks then wants you up bright and early ready to attack the day He does this to replicate life. Most people will lay in and rest the morning after, the winners will get up and attack the day no matter what 3) Leverage others peoples reputations and skillsets. I have done this relentlessly and make sure I only partner with people better than me in my weak areas

"Shining your light doesn't dim the light of others and likewise, your light doesn't dim when fan someone elses flames" One of our deepest values in Affinity is celebrating ourselves and getting comfortable with the sometimes, discomfort of that 🙃 Affinity is a place to celebrate yourselves and your business wins - and not just on set days - EVERY DAY is a celebration so show up here any time to shout about your wins! And your failures, I'd love for us all to get more comfy with failure because when failure doesn't scare you - YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! So let's start celebrating our failures and our lessons learned too!! And remember, the size of the win isn't what counts, it's the deep acknowledgement of it that does. I can't wait to see more of your leaning into the discomfort of seeing yourselves in a beautiful new light - one that enables you to to shine brightly and know that when you celebrate, we're all celebrating with you! :)) Show the world that brave you that's able to step over the fear that rises up when you want to share how well you're doing......

One of my favourite tactics for celebrating wins and giving your team recognition that is meaningful to them: Email a summary of the win to your own boss, perhaps even the CEO of the company, and cc your team member(s) who is responsible for the win. If your boss or CEO isn't a natural replier to emails, back channel a message to them and ask them to reply and acknowledge the win. It means more to your team that you'll ever realise to get recognition from those above you.

Being a part of Pisces Wealth Team has been such a fun experience and to see the team make the list for a 2nd year in a row is amazing! Way to go James, Greg, and the rest of the team. ______________________________________________________________________ 2024 Forbes America's Top Wealth Management Teams Best-in-State The 2024 Forbes ranking of America's Top Wealth Management Teams Best-In-State, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. This ranking is based upon the period from 3/31/2022 to 3/31/2023 and was released on 01/09/2024. Advisor teams that are considered must have one advisor with a minimum of seven years of experience, have been in existence as a team for at least one year, have at least 5 team members, and have been nominated by their firm. The algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 10,100 team nominations, 4,100 advisor teams received the award based on thresholds. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients' experience.
