Yes, I’ve attended Tupperware parties, art parties, home decorating parties, and all sorts of other home party varieties. You know, have a glass of wine, listen to the sales representative’s pitch, look over the merchandise and buy a plastic bowl.

Now there is a new idea in home parties…life coaching. Seriously.

A Florida life coach is now bringing coaching – free of charge – to the coaching-curious via in-home parties. In what I think is a flash of brilliance, Coach Heidi Lyn tired of having to explain what a life coach is/does, so she decided to SHOW her family and friends at home. From that, her home party niche was born.

How it works: A host invites 10-12 twenty/thirty-something women who share a common goal or topic to her home. The coach gives a brief “what is life-coaching” speech, and then launches an informal coaching session. She passes out her card to those who want to follow up with individual or group coaching. (and who wouldn’t?)

What a great idea to spread the word about life coaching and meet potential clients. At least I think so – let’s hear what you think‚Äö√Ѭ∂‚Äö√Ѭ∂

Way more fun than plastic bowls! I’d attend in a minute, and would seriously considered hosting one. Imagine the interesting people you’d meet! I’m eager to hear reports of her experiences.
