Mentoring with Geraldine

October is my birthday month, so I’m giving myself permission to celebrate, and I reckon you should too.In this episode, we’re talking about legacy, particularly those clients who stay with us long after they’ve left our practice, and the ways they can shape how we work.I’ve also got a little October celebration for you, including the chance to win a 30-minute one-to-one with me.There’s a bit of reflection for you in this episode too, and I’ve got a question I’d like you to sit with. You might be surprised by where it takes you.If you’re already in Strategy Lab, we’ll take this reflection a bit further with this month’s workbook, looking at the clients who have shaped your practice and what you’ve carried forward from those experiences.Want the deeper dive?

I had a client eating schnitzel five times a week. Rather than a salad lecture, I asked her to bring it down to two. She thanked me for it and came back the following week. That's retention in practice. In this episode, I talk about growing your practice without burning out, supporting the clients you already have, and making retention part of your everyday conversations. I also share questions to help you think about the clients you love working with and how you can actively support their ongoing change.If you're in the Strategy Lab, your workbook is waiting. You've got an extra week to finish your journaling on this one.If you're not in the Strategy Lab yet and want a proper framework for these conversations rather than winging it, this is exactly what it's built for.

Your next client might already be sitting in your diary.We spend so much time thinking about getting new people through the door, but what are we doing with the people who are already there?I’m talking about retention this week and why I think it’s a seriously underrated part of growing a practice. Not keeping people coming back for the sake of it, but actually supporting them through the changes they’re trying to make.I’m also getting into the little things that make a difference: what you say before they leave, when you book them back in, making referrals easier, and yes, even putting your prices up without making a song and dance about it.Because growth doesn’t have to mean cramming more into your week.Inside Strategy Lab, I take this further with the retention conversation framework, practical prompts and the actual scripts to help you put these ideas into practice.Already a member?
