We’re always looking for unique, personal ways to remember our clients for the holidays. Coaching is a relationship field, and somewhere the Honey-baked Ham just doesn’t fit. Here are some ideas that will work for whatever your client is celebrating, whether it’s Eid al Fitr, Hanukkah, Christmas, or Dewali.
1. “I am the Coach” on a 3D, all chocolate, 5″ coach’s whistle. 18 oz. of … who doesn’t like chocolate?
Available here: http://www.chocolatevault.com/coaching.htm.
2. One of your eBooks or distance learning courses you know they’d enjoy and benefit from.
3. An eBook of affirmations for the New Year you’ve created.
If you need professional help creating your eBook (turnaround time less than 10 days), or would like to gift the client with a certificate to create their own eBook, WebStrategies provides this service. Go here: http://www. webstrategies.cc . Give your client the gift of being able to tell their story.
4. Create a special poem or haiku for the client. If you need help, www.webstrategies.cc provides this service.
Examples: You have lofty goals As we both know it should be We shall continue.
Together we work Your dreams which we envision Tomorrow come true.
5. Make a simile for the client.
My high school English teacher did this one year and we loved it, i.e.:
You are like honey on a piece of brown velvet You are like sunshine on daisies You are like dew on morning glories in the first light of dawn You are like the bands of steel on a suspension bridge
6. Create a puzzle for them at www.puzzlemaker.com – a fallen phrase or crossword, for instance, using words and phrases that are meaningful to the two of you.
7. A gift certificate for photoart to be made from one of their favorite photos: www.justimagineinc.com. This gift will last a lifetime.
8. A gift certificate for a free coaching session around one of the free assessments online, such as the Keirsey.
9. Design your own greeting card. In fact create your own line of e-cards for your clients. You can do this FREE at www.bravenet.com.
10. Give them one of your products. You do have your own line of products, don’t you?
You can create your own mugs, t-shirts, hats, mousepads and more FREE at www.cafepress.com, using your tagline, or phrases and words that are meaningful to your area of coaching, and to your clients. For examples, go here.
