How To Determine What To Charge For Coaching
When we start our coaching businesses, we tend to fall into one of two extremes with our pricing. We either charge ridiculously low fees because we're 'not experienced or qualified enough yet', or we pick a high figure based on what we want to earn, divided by the...
How To Have A Positive Impact On The World
If you ask coaches why we coach, or why we want to coach, the idea of having a positive impact on the world will always appear in one guise or another. It's fundamental to who we are and why we do this work. Coaching itself has a positive impact on clients, and that...
Is CCEU Hierarchy Killing Coaching Businesses?
Core CCEUs are valuable. Resource Development CCEUs are easy to get, not as prestigious, almost throwaway. You can get them for just reading a book, after all. This attitude, which flows directly from how the ICF categorises continuing education is quietly...
Niching Isn’t About Your Coaching
We think "I already know my niche. I'm a executive coach!" (or health coach, or mindset coach - I could go on). We've decided what kind of coaching we do, so we've niched, haven't we? No, because those aren't niches, they're job titles. What A Niche Actually Is A...

When we realise we need help with marketing, we do what seems logical - we find a 'how to set up a business' course and try to follow the advice given. We might spend money adding ourselves to coaching directories or we may attend expensive sales training programmes....
The Algorithm Isn’t The Problem
We hear phrases like 'shadow banned' and start to wonder if something nefarious is being done to us by the algorithm. We notice our impressions drop and conclude that LinkedIn is stopping us from succeeding. Some of us have even said out loud "the algorithm hates me."...
Why Lowering Our Fees Won’t Bring More Clients
Most of us believe that the reason we're not converting as many discovery calls as we wish we were is because our price is too high. So we lower our fees, thinking that if we just make coaching more affordable, more people will say yes. Then we lower them again when...
Why ‘Casting Our Nets Wide’ Feels Right (But Isn’t)
It feels logical, doesn't it? The more people who know about our coaching businesses, the more clients we'll get. Casting our nets wide, reaching as many people as possible, keeping all doors open. It's common sense. Except it's completely wrong, and understanding why...
Why Writing Posts Feels So Hard (And How to Fix It)
We sit down to write a LinkedIn post and stare at the blank screen. We know we should be posting regularly, that we need to be visible, that content is important for our coaching business - but we have absolutely no idea what to say. So we write about coaching. We...
