Tip #2 Show your audience that coaching is a process. It is different from consulting. Do some coaching (role playing) during your presentation. Let audience members see what it would be like to have you as their coach.

Tip #3 Determine what kind of coaching client wants and needs. Interview a few people before you give your program to find out what challenges they are experiencing. The program chair can provide you with a few names to contact. Then use this information in your speech content.

Tip #4 People learn in three ways: Visual (what they can see), Auditory (what they can hear), and Kinesthetic (what they can touch). Try to include all three ways in your speech. Most of your audience will be visual and need to “see” what they “hear” from you. So tell your personal stories to support your points. When audience hears your story(ies) they will feel connected to you.

Tip #5 People have short attention spans. Review your main points before you end your speech. Don’t give them too much information. Most people only remember one or two concepts – so provide your best one or two ideas that will have most significance to that particular audience.

Negotiating, a key point of reference for any entrepreneur online and offline. In today's society negotiating successfully is a prerequisite to success for any business. Today we are going to cover what I believe to be 5 single most important aspects about preparing for negotiations.

1) Put yourself in shoes of other party.

Take time to investigate other parties point of view, this will help you to evaluate some of their objectives and may help to give you an advantage at negotiating table. Role playing is best way to gain an understanding of other parties position, objectives and interests. This will also give you a chance to see yourself way other party will perceive you and your proposals.

2) Preparation of assembly. Finding out about other party.

The key to successful negotiating is all in your prep work. You must take time to find out as much as you can about opposing party. Look closely into things like, how's business for them at this time? Are they struggling because of a new shop opening just across road thats taking their business? What is their reason for selling? These same tecniques discussed here today can help you to no end with business proposals like joint venture marketing online as an example.

You may have to play detective for many reasons. The first thing any detective looks for in an investigation is a motive. This rule also applies for effective art of negotiation. Although situations will always change depending on what area you work in but principles always stays same. Negotiating is a contact point where two parties meet, both wanting to fulfil their pre-determined objectives in their chosen area of interest.

Some probing questions one might ask in order to identify interests and objectives of other party.

a) What would I wish to obtain from this situation if I were in other parties shoes?

b) What would be some logical reasoning for wanting to obtain this?

c) What would be best tactic for me to proceed on to obtain these objectives?

d) When would best timimg be for me to setup negotiation?

e) In which manner would be most beneficial for me to attack these negotiations? There are 3 main sources of negotiation. Conflict/Competitive Negotiations, Co-operative Negotiations, Problem Solving Negotiations.

Preparation is everything. If you want to succeed in becoming a top negotiator, if you walk into a negotiating situation with no points of reference, no bottom line decided upon, no strategy in which to implement and present your plan, then you will get literally torn to pieces by an experienced negotiator. Find out what arguments they may put to you, and have rebuttals prepared in advance. Learn to improvise as surprise is name of game, it seldomly runs according to plan when you meet stiff competition.
