Creating a workshop can help you grow your list, fill your programs, and get you and your offerings in front of the right people.

Success Is Not a Magic Pill or Pixie Dust
Karen Pattock is a wizard when it comes to wellness workshops and helping health coaches attract their ideal clients and fill their programs through wellness workshops.
Like so many of us, when Karen was first starting out on her entrepreneurial journey, she thought there must be some magic pill or pixie dust that successful business owners knew about, but she didn’t.
After a bad coaching experience forced her to confront the reality, she doubled down on being consistent with wellness workshops to grow her business and now teaches other wellness business owners to do the same.
Getting Specific To See Results
When it comes to running successful wellness workshops, the all-important first step is to be specific about your offerings and the messaging around them.
Getting specific with your messaging isn’t necessarily about niching; it’s about creating the right messaging to point to the particular outcome you are hoping to get for your clients and for your business. This helps you attract the right people in the first place.
That’s not to say that being specific about your target audience isn’t important as well.
If you’re struggling to gain traction with your audience on a broad level, there is a good chance you have been resisting choosing your ideal client.
Karen shares that when thinking about your marketing messaging, you should be able to fit what you do, who you help, and the transformation you offer in one sentence.
This specificity ensures that you are talking to the right people and are on the path to a snowball effect of multiplying the returns you see in your business.
Selling Yourself the Right Way
One of the biggest fears wellness business owners have when it comes to workshops and webinars is transitioning into the pitch/offering/invitation segment of the workshop without feeling sleazy.
Chances are, however, if your audience has stuck with you through your workshop, they are generally excited to hear what next steps you are ready to offer them to build upon the experience they just had with you.
Karen impresses the importance of understanding that if you’ve done a good job on the teaching segment of the workshop, you’ve earned the right to make your offer.
By taking and applying Karen’s wellness workshop framework, you can up your confidence, reduce the overwhelm and add workshops to your marketing toolbelt.
