Asking Powerful Questions: The Marketing Superpower Coaches Already Have with Rob Lawrence

What if your best marketing move wasn't saying more - but asking better questions?

In this episode, I'm joined by Rob Lawrence: seasoned podcast producer, experienced coach, and - I'll be honest - one of my marketing heroes. Rob is also, rather wonderfully, the reason Better Bolder Braver exists at all. It was his generosity in inviting me onto the Association for Coaching podcast that kicked the whole thing off.

Together we explore one of the most liberating ideas in good, ethical marketing: that coaches are already equipped with one of the most powerful marketing tools there is. They just might not have recognised it yet.

What we talk about

• Why asking questions often generates more engagement than sharing expertise - on LinkedIn, in podcasts, and in life
• How "holding the space" in marketing creates the same trust and intimacy as a coaching relationship
• The connection between self-awareness in coaching and self-awareness in marketing
• Why you don't need to say something new every week - and why saying the same five things, creatively, is actually the goal
• How questions can move your ideal clients through the Journey of Consciousness - from "I didn't know I had a problem" to "I'm ready to work with you"
• The difference between posting publicly and taking conversations offline - and why Rob's quieter LinkedIn strategy works beautifully
• Rob's 10-year weekly mastermind with his Australian counterpart Steve Palfreyman - and why he calls it his single biggest business secret
• How to translate your best coaching questions directly into your marketing
