For the first 35 years or so of my life,
I felt like I was just a wrong kind of character
to be successful in the world today.
You see, the world seems like
to only appreciate extra words.
People who are outgoing, who are loud,
who can make friends really fast.
And I am just not like that, I am an introvert.
And if you're watching this video,
you are probably also an introvert
or identified as an introvert.
And as an introvert like me,
you might have experienced that very often
you cannot really find yourself
or place yourself in small talks.
You struggle to have a conversation
with individuals about things
that seem to naturally matter.
I sometimes felt that people thought I was shy,
that I was underconfident,
that I didn't know what I was talking about,
or didn't have anything to say,
is why I would go to parties and be in a corner
or only engage in very minimal conversations.
It was a struggle for me sometimes to go up on stage
and be able to speak to everybody.
I didn't know how to really present an idea
to a large group that would still make sense.
And more often than not, because of all of these things
that were happening for me,
I felt I was underappreciated,
that I wasn't getting the recognition,
the credibility that I deserved
for the kind of work I was putting out in the world.
Do you resonate with any or all of these realities
that introverts face?
If that is so welcome my friend, you're also an introvert.
And in this video, I hope to share with you the experience
that I had in the past few years, that helped me
become lot more successful as an introvert.
If you observe the media,
you may recognize that most people
who are in media are extroverted.
They have a big voice,
they have a big personality,
they go up on stage and they talk a lot.
And they can talk about anything pretty much
at any time in a party, in a setting, in a live environment,
in whatever place it might be.
They have no reservations in large social gatherings
and seem like they are extremely confident as individuals.
While you may observe that in media,
extroverts are widely recognized.
In real life, if you look at very successful entrepreneurs,
people who have built companies, who have built enterprises,
you'll find a lot of them are actually introverts.
These are individuals that actually
go into a reclusive environment,
go into within themselves to create great empowered
companies that tend to change the world.
So what is it that is about introverts?
What is it that is about you that can make you
a verily successful introvert coach?
In this video, I'm going to explore
some of the ideas that transformed my life
as an introverted coach,
help me recognize my own personal power,
and help me get to the stage that I am today
where we influence over 250,000 coaches every single day
through our different media channels.
One of those media channels is this YouTube.
If you're somebody that continuously wants to grow yourself
and learn better ideas, different ideas
that can make you an even more powerful coach,
I invite you to hit that red subscribe button,
and join the other 90,000 subscribers
that are on this channel that learn from us
on a weekly basis.
Now, while you go ahead and hit that red subscribe button,
let me share with you
what we are going to discuss in this video.
You see in this video, I'm not gonna tell you
that you should practice being extroverted.
I'm not gonna talk about
how you can fake it till you make it.
I'm gonna share with you
how to leverage what you already have.
See, as an introvert,
you have certain qualities that only introverts have.
And if you use those qualities,
if you focus on those qualities,
if you use those qualities to your benefit,
you can become an extraordinary coach,
and an extraordinary entrepreneur
that impacts thousands of individuals.
The first big leverage that you have
as an introverted coach, that most other coaches
and most of the individuals won't have,
is that in this world that loves talking,
you can listen deeply.
You see one of the key skills that a coach must have
to be able to impact a life,
is that you're able to listen really deeply,
and you can really reflect on what the person really said.
Most of the extroverted coaches tend to jump ahead,
they wanna talk before they can even listen
what the client is trying to say.
You as an introverted coach,
can truly lean into your power,
of being able to listen patiently and listen deeply.
Because you are introverted
you don't feel the urgency to talk.
And because you don't feel the urgency to talk,
you have a more keen interest in listening.
Every single week, we run our certification programs,
and during the certification programs,
I coach individuals that are on the calls.
And very often I get recognized for how I listen so deeply,
to really get the essence of what our student is saying.
On pretty much every single call, I get recognized for how deeply I listen,
when somebody is talking. And because of how deeply I listen
when I'm reflecting back to my client,
when I'm really trying to make sense of what they just said,
it almost always goes one step deeper
than what everybody else has understood.
And that is because as an introvert,
when I fully lean into my power,
I can listen in a world that loves talking.
This is wildly, wildly important,
especially in a business setting.
You see in the business world,
it seems like people are always recognized
because they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, right?
But if you really listen in a business setting in a meeting,
just few words can change the direction of the meeting.
You can go from just another person sitting in the meeting,
to being a talk leader in that meeting.
This gives you so much more power
in being able to transform a business,
just because you are more introverted.
So the first thing that I want you to lean into
as an introvert that you already are
and you just wanna leverage a little bit better,
is your ability to listen
what everybody else loves talking.
The second skill, the second ability that you already have,
that will help you gain more success
as an introverted coach,
is your ability to be comfortable in silence.
You see silence in a coaching conversation
is that great space that allows for reflection,
that allows for that discomfort
that helps your client dig a little bit deeper,
than they have ever dug within themselves.
You see that silence, that space that is between you
and your client when you are comfortable sitting in it,
and your client is unsure of that silence,
allows them to take that extra minute or two,
to really go further down the rabbit hole,
further down the journey that they were taking,
to really bring out the truth
in what's happening for them,
to really bring out the truth of what they truly desire.
And that my friend,
creates a successful coaching environment.
There are so many phenomenal successful coaches,
that are introverted
and they use their superpower of silence
in pretty much every coaching session.
So if you haven't yet leaned into your superpower
of being able to be comfortable
in a silent moment or silent moments,
I invite you, as an introverted coach,
to use that to create
big changes in your client's life.
The third leverage that I never imagined
would be a leverage was my ability
to only speak to a person at a time.
You see, when you're speaking from a stage
and you speak to everybody,
you tend to not speak to anybody.
Have you recognized those speakers who have just
a gift of gab and they can just keep talking
and talking and talking, and often you listen to them,
and you mesmerize with them,
but you never really fall in love with them?
And the reason is because
they're talking to the whole group,
they're talking to everybody as general people.
But what conversations do we like as people?
Anybody, intro or extroverted,
loves the conversation that is about them.
When the speaker is focused on them,
when the speaker feels like they're speaking to only them
and that is a superpower we as introverts have,
because we love talking to every person as one person.
And we're deeply engaged in that conversation,
and we are deeply aligned in that conversation,
and we're so passionate about that conversation.
We don't want the group to be involved
in a one-on-one conversation.
And when you are on stage, when you speak
as if you're speaking to one person, this person here,
and then this person there, and then this person there,
you become a powerful speaker,
because now everybody feels
that you're talking to just them.
I used to think I am a terrible speaker,
I used to think I will never become a great speaker
because I'm an introverted person,
until I recognized that being an introverted person,
actually makes me a more powerful speaker.
Because when I talk now, I talk to you, just you,
not talking to the group,
I'm not talking to this universe of YouTube,
I'm talking to you.
And because I'm talking to you, we are connecting.
And as introverts, it's much easier for us
to talk to one person.
So use your power of connecting
with one individual at a time
in your speaking, in your presentations,
in your larger group presentations.
The fourth leverage that you have as an introverted coach
is that you can take massive amount of information,
and use your power to go within yourself and self reflect,
to come up with new and unique ideas.
Our industry moves forward because of new ideas.
A coach's career moves forward
because they always are coming up with new unique ideas,
and are able to create impact on somebody's life
in new and unique ways.
You, as an introverted coach, have a unique ability
to take an infinite amount of information within you,
and to come up with completely new models
of being able to coach someone.
As an introverted coach,
I've been able to develop some very powerful
and unique models that are now changing the world,
as our certified coaches go out in the world
and start impacting more and more companies
and individuals using these models.
One of these models that I developed
by taking in a great amount of information
from the world outside, business world outside,
through my lived experience,
by coaching tons of other companies,
and combining all that information as an introvert
by taking all of that and making a unique model,
was something that we called the coach consultant approach.
You see, when you go out in the company,
when you're trying to work with a company,
you can't only just coach the people, you yes coach people,
but if you truly wanna create an impact on the company,
if you really want to be seen
as the person that drove results with the company,
if you wanna really make a real change in the company,
you wanna be able to switch your hat,
from being a coach and then being a consultant.
Being a consultant is you taking outside information
data points, processes, systems,
and being able to process them
and be able to give real consulting advice,
so people can change their systems and processes,
to fit the greater outcomes that they chase.
Now, most people think this is some incredibly
complicated system to do.
People think that coach consulting
is something that you need years and years of experience
for hours and hours of training.
But that's where the power introversion comes in.
I've been able to simplify that process
that you can learn all off the coach consultant model,
and become a Certified Business Coach
and a Certified Business Consultant
through Mindvalley and Evercoach in just four months.
You'll find information about this program below this video.
So if you are an introverted coach and you're wondering,
hey, I don't have a unique methodology,
I don't have systems and tools and processes just yet
to go out in the world and use my power of introversion,
to be able to create great business,
well, I have an invitation for you to go ahead
and check out this program
because this is all the information that you will need,
to be able to go out in the world,
and start coaching, and consulting, as a business coach.
And that brings me to the final point.
The final leverage that you have,
is as an introverted coach,
you're more likely to be someone that prepares a lot,
and your preparation can beat any talent.
They could be the most talented coach in the world,
they could be some of the,
they could be the most talented coach in the world
but because you are more prepared, you will outperform them.
So to be a successful coach, you need to be prepared.
And as an introvert, you tend to be more prepared
than anybody else.
So use your ability to prepare
to get more success as a coach, as a business coach,
as a life coach, as a business consultant,
irrespective of whatever type of coach you are.
Leverage your introversion
to become a more successful coach,
see your introversion as a superpower
instead of seeing it as something that limits you.
Once I unlocked my full potential,
by understanding how my introversion
was actually helping me,
I was able to double, triple, even quadruple
the success of my clients and my personal success as well.
Do you identify yourself as an introverted coach?
If the answer is yes,
I want you to share which of these leverages
you can see using in your coaching business here on.
We talked about five key leverages that you have,
that only introverted coaches have.
The first leverage, is listen in a world that loves talking.
The second is use your power to lean into silence.
Use your power to feel comfortable in silence,
as one of your secret weapons
in your coaching sessions.
Use your introversion that helps you connect
with one person at a time,
to make you a more powerful speaker.
Use your ability to take in a lot of information
and reflect internally to build new models of coaching,
build new models of creating impact with your clients.
And lastly, use preparation to be talent.
Use preparation to create even better results
with your clients.
