The Superhero PowerHour is a great way to get started with KAPOW! – just 60 minutes with me can get you on the right track to developing a strong personal brand, making the most of networking to achieve it, and fine tuning how you plan to move forward.
But how do you get the most of it? First of all, let me explain how it works.
PowerHours are delivered online, which is great for you as you don’t need to take more time out of your business than you need to. You simply pick a time that suits you, make your payment and that’s it! Each session is recorded too, so you don’t have to get distracted with taking notes if you don’t want to. I, on the other hand, am taking notes like crazy in the background – helping me to ‘get inside your head’ and root out some knowledge bombs to hit you with as we go along.
After the call is over, I collate all those notes together and create an Action Plan for you to keep you on track or simply get you started. Take a look at what some recent PowerHour Superheroes thought about it:
These PowerHours can be ‘one offs’, but they are most effective when you do them more often – it gives you the accountability you need to make sure you are actually doing the things you said you were going to do!
You can have bespoke PowerHours, or follow the 12 steps of KAPOW! through the year.
But – how do you make the most of them, whether you have one or one every month (very popular option).
First thing is you need to prep before your first call. You need to take a little time to think about what you want to achieve from it – are you looking for a sounding board, advice, direction or a little of all three? Make sure you are clear on what you want to gain form it as it’s the first thing I’m going to ask you!
You also need to make sure you have no distractions, so you can really focus on our conversation – an hour might seem like a long time, but it will fly by – trust me, so make sure you can really imbed yourself in that sixty minutes.
The second thing is that you need to be prepared for some uncomfortable truths/questions. I’m going to ask you stuff to get you really thinking about your current brand – and some of that might be quite close to the mark. I’m going to ask you about your networking intro, where and why you network, what you want to get from that and give you some straight talking advice.
The third and most important thing about a PowerHour is what you do afterwards. I give you your personalised action plan, a link to the recording that you can access anytime, forever, and the option to book your next session.
The rest is up to you.
How do you get the most from your first Superhero PowerHour?
You get the best result from your first Superhero PowerHour by arriving with one or two clear outcomes, protecting the full 60 minutes from interruptions, being open to honest feedback about your personal brand and networking, and acting on the personalised Action Plan afterwards.
The session is designed to help you clarify your next steps rather than simply discuss ideas. You can use it as a focused starting point for your KAPOW! journey, a sounding board for a specific challenge, or a way to identify where your current brand and networking activity need attention.
- Decide what you want to improve before the call.
- Give the conversation your full attention.
- Answer questions candidly.
- Use the recording and Action Plan to complete agreed actions.
What should I prepare for my first Superhero PowerHour?
Prepare a short list of the issues you want to discuss. This could include uncertainty about your personal brand, a networking introduction that no longer feels right, difficulty choosing where to network, or a lack of direction on what to do next.
It is useful to write down your answers to a few questions before the session:
- What would make this hour feel worthwhile?
- What do I want people to understand about me and my business?
- How do I currently introduce myself when networking?
- Which networking activity is producing useful conversations, if any?
- What is stopping me from taking the next step?
You do not need a polished plan. Honest starting information gives the PowerHour a clearer focus and allows the conversation to move quickly towards practical actions.
What happens during and after a Superhero PowerHour?
- You choose a suitable online appointment time and complete the booking and payment process.
- The 60-minute conversation focuses on the outcome you want, with questions used to explore your personal brand, networking approach and priorities.
- The session is recorded, so you can stay engaged in the discussion rather than trying to capture every point.
- Notes from the conversation are turned into a personalised Action Plan.
- You receive access to the recording and use the Action Plan to guide your next actions.
This structure means the value of the session is not limited to one conversation. The recording provides a reference point, while the Action Plan turns the discussion into a practical route forward.
