Finding Your Practice Focus
A training for practitioners with Camille Freeman
May 20 from 7-8 pm ET
Class Description
You've probably heard the advice to get very, VERY specific about what type of clients you serve and what problems you help solve. If you're reading this, I'm going to guess that you don't love this idea. Why restrict yourself? You can't decide on a focus, and anyway, when you're just getting started you can't turn people away, right?! You're pretty sure you should take all comers at this point. If this sounds familiar - particularly if you are having a hard time finding clients right now - come to this workshop! Finding a practice focus doesn't have to feel restrictive, and having a focus also doesn't mean that you need to turn people away if they don't fit neatly into a specific box. Let's go over the ins and outs of niching together.
A recording will be available to everyone who registers, so please sign up even if you can't attend live.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
Understand the benefits of finding a practice focus that reflects your personality and the work you're trained to do
Identify several potential areas of focus for your work
Articulate the outcomes you're hoping your clients will achieve in working together
Explore common barriers to and questions about having a practice focus
