 Coffee With Michael
I get a steady stream of requests from fellow professionals, asking if they can buy me a cup of coffee to talk about building their respective businesses.
I do it as time allows, and in fact have noticed that the same questions seem to get asked again and again. With that in mind, and in the hope of expanding the conversation to include more people living in more places, I'm pleased to launch "Coffee with Michael."
These 30-minute phone sessions are in the format of free (yes, free), live audio teleseminars, held about twice a month. I chat with my colleague Lissa Bergin-Boles — a Toronto-based, practicing "Master Life Coach" — for 20 minutes or so and then throw it open for 10 minutes of questions.
OK, there is one catch. Group size is limited to just 15 guests per session. So although it doesn't cost anything to participate, once we get ten sign ups, that particular session is closed. To make sure you're on the early notification list for future sessions, click here and send me an email.
In the meantime, if you'd like to purchase past "Coffee With Michael" sessions (believe me, they are really good), click the appropriate link below.
"Selling with Authentic Stories"
Great stories help you capture attention, gain trust and convey your message, and in a format that is both enjoyable and memorable for your audience. Authentic stories – the ones about your own life and your own experiences – are uncopyable (assuming that's a real word), and will help your clients and others see you as three dimensional… more than just a business professional with a service to sell.

"Pricing Your Professional Service"
How do you make the money you want doing the work you love? It's more than just setting a rate, and it need not be a function of simply working harder. In this session we discuss how to charge, what to charge, and how to package your service so that it's both easier for you to provide and higher value for your clients.

"Standing Out From the Crowd"
Marketing is all about standing out, but how do you rise above the noise and confusion, so that the right clients pick you out from the crowd? The answer involves focusing on how you're different, rather than how you're better. It's easier and cheaper than you think, provided you understand the dynamics involved in positioning yourself as an expert, and in the process, creating positive word of mouth and referrals.

"Staying Energized and Motivated as a Solo Professional"
Working solo is great – I wouldn't trade it for anything. That said, with the wonderful freedom to create your own world, comes a need for self-motivation, self-direction and (just about) self-everything else. In this session, Master Life Coach Lissa Bergin-Boles and I discuss how to stay fresh, how to have fun, how to make money and how to build the professional life you want!

"Relationship Marketing"
Selling to people you already know is easier, more efficient and frankly, a whole lot more enjoyable than chasing after strangers. This session explains how to grow and leverage your existing relationships so that more clients, more business and yes, more friends, come your way.
