When was the last time you thought about *how you want your audience to FEEL*? I imagine a 55 year old man or woman whose life has come unravelled with the prospect of divorce and all the complicated mess that goes along with it. They scroll through a #familylawyer website looking for help… looking for answers… and they land on you. I think too often we default to *thinking/ head based* concepts to pursuade and convince and *tell* the audience something. We try to communicate *ideas* about us. But honestly, your website and client list and referrals and your track record and your awards communicate everything someone needs to *know*. That’s the easy part. But in that moment I believe that the client (but more importantly, the HUMAN) needs to FEEL something. I want them to feel certainty coming from you (especially when nothing makes sense). I want them to feel kindness (especially when things are adversarial and unpleasant. I want them to feel confidence (especially when they have had the rug pulled out) Or however you work your magic. So that’s what I always shoot for - empathy, openness, curiosity, listening, a sense of certainty, a knowing look. And degree of understanding. And ease. I want them to FEEL seen/ heard/ understood. I want them to FEEL inspired or relieved or maybe even a touch of hope/ optimism. But ultimately I want them to FEEL YOU… and all the ability, wisdom, experience and kick-ass-ness that makes you frickin’ amazing at your job. #beyondbrand #drivenbypurpose #feelthedifference

But, now, more and more couples are choosing to "live apart together." It doesn’t mean they don't love each other, but rather that they're assessing the best ways they can be the healthiest partners, and sometimes that just involves having your own space. #relationships #scenario #relationshipsatpresent

You've probably heard the old marketing spiel likening client relationships to dating and marriage... It's a familiar trope – court your clients like a romantic interest, woo them into a commitment. But here's a twist in the narrative – what if we viewed our clients more like kids we're raising, rather than partners we're romancing? Hear me out... In the parenting world, we know each child is on their own unique journey. Sound familiar? It's just like our future potential clients. You might repeat the same message a hundred times, and then one day, it suddenly sinks in and they're ready to listen (and buy). Reminds me of trying to teach a five-year-old the value of sharing toys, doesn't it? Our role with clients mirrors that of a parent more than a partner. We're not just there to walk side by side, we're there to lead the way, shine a light on the path, and sometimes even carry them over obstacles. It's not about equality. It's about guidance and support. Think about the patience we exercise with clients... It's akin to dealing with a child's mood swings. One day they're all in, the next, they're questioning every decision. And just like good parenting, we handle it with a balance of firmness and understanding. This perspective isn't just a quirky take... It reshapes how we approach our client relationships. We're not just chasing the next big account, we're nurturing a growing entity, guiding it through various stages of development, and celebrating its milestones, however small. But let's be real – it's not all smooth sailing. Sometimes, it's about managing expectations (and tantrums). Other times, it's about being the 'bad guy' who brings in a reality check. Much like parenting, it's a mix of love, discipline, and a whole lot of patience. So, what's your take? Can you see your client relationships through this new lens? How does this change your approach to nurturing these connections? Remember, in the end, we're not just building businesses... we're cultivating a thriving ecosystem where every 'child' has the potential to grow into something remarkable.

I surveyed 21 people to rate the last conversation with their spouse from 1 to 10. The average rating was 6.1. This means most couples have average conversations with their spouse. Average means not so bad and not so good. I asked another question in the survey. “What’s your biggest struggle when talking to your partner?” 1. Arguing (66.7%) 2. Bringing up issues (52.7%) 3. Unsolved conversations (42.9%) 4. Fear the relationship will not survive (23.8%) This means most couples have average conversations because of arguing. Is arguing bad? It depends. If someone needs to be heard, it is very bad. In most relationships, partners want to be heard not argued with. Adjust how to talk to your spouse. Listen more. Talk less. ~~~~~ I am on a mission to beat avoidance, create empathy, and create enjoyable relationships. Join me for more content like this. Follow me Henry Tembo

Back to reality tips for couples: bring your ‘holiday couple’ home When we return from holiday we have to prepare to go off into our routines again. Try not to put your couple back in the drawer with your swimsuit. Instead, take a slice of your holiday with you through the year by making time for each other. Go for a coffee or drink together, plan time to watch a film or a walk. Discover more holiday couples goals at: https://ow.ly/9Vvk50SUyE6

Don’t be fooled… The value of your offer doesn’t have to be tied to an increase in money in order for people to hire you. Value is tied to values and desires. Plain and simple. Say you’re a health and fitness coach… the value of your offer could be that your framework shows your clients how to lose 10 pounds in 7 days. Or if you’re a marriage coach… the value could be no more heated arguments after 5 consecutive sessions. Or if you’re a parenting coach for mothers with estranged adult children… The value of your offer could be being able to reconnect and build a healthy, stable relationship after years of silence. None of these have anything to do with money yet they’re all incredibly valuable to the target audiences described. Part of the work I do with Christian women online service providers is clarifying the value of their offers carry so they confidently sell, communicating that value. When we work together in my Clarity to Commas intensive, I’m able to quickly identify how the work they do ultimately serves those they’re called to serve. Then we build out the messaging and content marketing strategy to showcase their authority so they can attract and convert their dream clients. You can earn multi-millions in the lane God called you to dominate with the value He gave you to carry. Dont let these people make you compromise the integrity of your assignment. Go forth exactly as God commanded.
