Hello, after years (hours spread over a few years) of painstaking (procrastinated) work (well, okay), my consulting site is live.
I’m only taking on three clients at once, which will be the plan for any 1-on-1 work. Please get in touch if you need help with creating a communication plan that doesn’t have you become a content creator alongside whatever else you do.
For now, I’d be grateful for your feedback on the website: https://www.calibratecommunication.com/
Filters for your opinions:
1. Is the writing easy to understand?
2. Is the site easy to navigate?
3. Can you make sense of the services and the difference between them?
Thanks for your time.

Love your website Adarsh Nalam – It looks great and the answer is yes to all your questions! All best with this, anyone would be lucky to be working with you on their communications.
-
You and Ryan McGee have got me inspired to shake things up on my site! And agree with Caroline, yes to all of your questions. Blooming marvellous.

Is the time we spend on digital media changing our experience of life?
Are we aware of how?
Is personalisation destroying free will?
Can AI be good? Can businesses use it for good? Can ethical companies be profitable?
These are just a few of the questions I had for Johannes Castner on the latest episode of The Maximum Project: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1RMpVFmtrJGG6zz9LbglrF?si=8204a319be344f19
If you want to learn more about AI, this episode is for you. And if you think morality is a choice and not what we should expect of each other, it’s definitely worth a listen.
Sabina and Ilaria, thank you for the introduction.

P.S. If you have a compelling story you’d like to share with the world that is TMP’s small but lovely audience, get in touch.

Hello, I’ve been away for a wee while. My consulting website goes live next week, and, in the meantime, I thought I’d ask what communication challenges you are facing.
What is your biggest communication challenge as a portfolio professional?9 Comments-
Hi Adarsh, tagging some of our wonderful community who might be able to offer their insights – Zarir 'Zed' Vakil, Alex Pitt, Caoimhe Kelly, Emma Wallace, Ilaria Vilkelis, Pete Domican, Sarah O'Neill, Kai-Erik Sunell, Rob Wright, Jade Phillips, Silvia Janska, Arabella Nairne, Saori Okada, Shalaka Laxman, Will Greig, Nicola Andrews, Damien, Mike Richardson, Alastair Cook, Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge

Not quite sure what the difference is between articulating your value and specificity if they lead to the same net result? I ticked both.
-
Thanks, Pete. Specificity is really just about the niche you’re in and your target audience (what you say). By ”articulate”, and I see your point about the overlap, I was referring to how you say what you do is valuable.

I’m regularly challenged to make time for content creation. But by far the biggest challenge for me is niching. Resilience is applicable to a wide variety of scenarios. I can’t expect folk to do the math themselves. Nor can I expect them to wade patiently through a list before they see an offering that scratches where they itch. Big nut I haven’t yet cracked…
-
Hey, Rob. Thanks for the comment. To say my reply is delayed is an understatement. Sorry about that.
I have a few ideas about your approach, specifically to work out the most relevant audience segment and your most valuable offering.
What do you think is the biggest obstacle to defining a niche? Also, what resources/services do you think could help define the niche?

Can’t wait to see your consultancy site go live, and even more exciting to see you back in the community

Hello. As portfolio professionals, either full-time or part-time, we’re taking on a fair bit. The risk of burnout is always round the corner. Burnout is both physical and mental, and mental changes aren’t that easy to put in place. So starting with the body is a good move.
Being fit won’t just make our bodies ache less and our minds feel better. It will also allow us to play the long game, which really is our best shot at creating something meaningful.
In the latest episode of The Maximum Project, I spoke with performance coach Dan John. Dan is a scholar, athlete, performance coach, avid reader, and a genuinely excellent person. In this conversation, he outlines his principles for strength, focus, goal-setting, and progress principles.
Whether you’re already on a path to progress and want to get better or looking to start a new habit, you’ll want to listen to this one.

Hello and happy holidays, everyone. I need your advice. I’m looking to start my coach certification process and wanted to understand if you know or recommend either of these providers:

Hi Adarsh, happy holidays to you too! I’m sure our coaching community will have great suggestions – Janis Chan, Caroline Marsh, Skylar Haven, Rebecca Beck, Fiona Chorlton-Voong, Rob Wright, Kate Scammell-Anderson, Alexandra Levy, Paul David Mather, Jules Haughey, Rachel Liu, Laura Thomas, James McKerracher

Hi Adarsh, I’m afraid I haven’t heard of these two so unfortunately can’t help with that – happy to share who I trained with who I wholeheartedly recommend if that would be helpful
-
Hey Rebecca, thank you for replying. Yes, please. That’d be great.
-
Sorry for delay Adarsh, I’m not very good at accessing these messages! I trained with Barefoot who I wholeheartedly recommend. Henley Postgrad course is also very good, and I also looked at AoEC – they are all slightly different. Happy to chat through further if that would help

Like Rebecca, I haven’t heard of the ones you mentioned Adarsh Nalam. There are so many institutions though, as long as they have been accredited by the ICF – you should be fine. I trained through Goleman EI (now Beyond EI) as I specialised in Emotional Intelligence and I would recommend them if that’s the path you wanted to go down.

Hi Adarsh, Emma de Pfeiffer-Key, Jack Jacobs, Mojisola Olurotimi , Sandra Cantu Bustamante, Darryl Godfrey, Sunil Kumar, Graham Dodds, Stuart Prestedge, Wayne Kruger, Mike Richardson, Stacey Gibson, rupert baddeley, Megan McCrory, Jonathan McGuinness might also be able to offer some advice!
-
Hi Adarsh, I am training now and did a lot of research before choosing my provider. I came across iPEC but didn’t give me what I was looking for. I would suggest thinking about what you want out of a programme. For me it was a high level of practice and a recognised qualification as well as accreditation. Happy to chat further.
-
Hey Stacey, that’s great to hear. All of what you mention and a grounding in some empirical research is what I am after. I’d love more details or a chat if you have the time.

Hi Adarsh – as mentioned above – it depends on what you want; qualification / accreditation. Coaching industry is unregulated but I can see it fast becoming regulated. Internationally, the most recognised is ICF which means aligning to a set of ethics and practise for continuous development. If this is the route you want, suggest looking at ICF requirements and reverse engineer. Eg. I wanted ACC qualification with ICF within a year of starting – there are number of specific hou…
-
Hi Janis, thank you. I’m looking at ICF-accredited programs, but the number of options has me confused. The training hours point is very useful, so I will use that as a filter. I would like a pathway to ACC certification.
-
Hi Adarsh – I was too quick with my response, I forgot to explain my strategy! I meant PCC level accreditation for coach training alliance – if you can find a provider that provides sufficient accredited training to PCC level then all you need to focus on is aiming for practise hours, then apply ACC after 100 hrs coaching provision and PCC when you reach those hours of coaching provision. So instead of doing an intense qualification to only obtain the 60 hrs, I would aim for a compre…

Hey Janis, thanks so much. There’s a lot to consider, and I’m grateful to have the community’s guidance. I’d love a chat when you’re free. I’ll message you to set one up.

Hi Adarsh Nalam like many have said you want ICF. Most of them will have a pathway to that so it’s just a check. More importantly, is the style and the resonance you feel reading one from the other. Are there schools you can feel your values align with or do really like things on their website. You will come out of most of them a great coach and then develop in your own style, but with coach training I would say you are also buying an experience and a network of like minded people, so sear…
-
Hey Laura Thomas, that’s really helpful, thank you. There are just so many choices, so I’m finding it a bit confusing. Your point about aligning with the values is an important filter, and I’ll use that when I’m looking at providers. I thought the CTI program was great too, but it might need more time than I can commit at the moment. I’ll check out Barefoot and Animas as well. Thanks a bunch.
