Facilitating Transformation (Melanie Benson)

  • Episode #58

With a focus on facilitating lasting transformation, Melanie Benson is not one to play by the rules. She shares how integrating creativity and intuition with a ‘facts and data’ approach has produced fulfilling and profitable outcomes for her clients.

Melanie Benson is an Authority Amplifier, Revenue Strategist, and Money Mindset Coach with over 20 years of experience. She works with expert entrepreneurs to transform their wisdom into wealth through powerful mindset shifts that generate a consistent supply of clients and opportunities.

In this episode, Danny, Abe, and Melanie discuss how throwing out the blueprints and creating your own approach can lead to more long-term transformation for your clients.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How coaches and course creators can create offers that appeal to their passions rather than working with the trends
  • How Melanie designed her signature system – The Guest Expert System 
  • The benefits of a hands-on approach in facilitating transformation for students
  • How student preparation increases the value they receive from your material 
  • The role that course structure plays in your student’s progress
  • Why it is crucial as coaches and course creators to be receptive to input from those you serve
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief
“I’m not afraid to push back and challenge people and take them into a deeper sense of clarity and getting what they need, even if it means it’s an awkward conversation.”
