If yes, how do you do it? If no, have you ever wished you did?

What platform would you recommend to start a paying membership & coaching? I am looking at Kajabi or Mighty Networks. All suggestions welcome 🤗

Hi all, im a PCC coach and a starting a new L&D leadership role full time next week (new for me!)

I have been coaching, facilitating and training for 10 years… and i need to keep a few clients ticketing over privately in my LTD after hours (approved with my new role) to keep money flowing in but also ICF hours.

I issues to coach programmes and give flexibility to clients and now I’ll have to be very strict- say Wednesday evenings.

Im trying to figure if it would be better to run a group or just coach 1-2-1 for 3-4 clients.

Does anyone else coach on the side?

Any advice on the juggle appreciated

Has anyone experience being a coach in one of these platforms ?

How does it work and what’s the pay like

Any other platforms you would recommend ?

I'm a founder. I've worked with a coach for a while. Something about how it works bugs me, and I want the coach side of it.

My coach only ever sees the version of my week I can explain after the fact. By the time we talk I've forgotten the meeting I avoided, the decision I sat on for nine days, the 42% of my week that went to a project I'd told everyone I quit. I only remember top of mind.

My question for the coaches here: how do you get at what really happened between sessions? Journals? Pre-session forms? Or do you accept you're working off recall?

I ask because I built a small thing for myself to close this gap. It watches my own screen and meetings and gives me a weekly coach-brief that i can share with my coach prior to our meeting, so we can focus on coaching instead of playing catchup.

I'm curious how you handle the gap today?

Something I keep running into with senior clients: the more accomplished they are, the harder it is to get past the polished version of themselves into the real work. They're used to being the smartest person in the room, and "being coached" can feel like a threat to that.

For those working at the exec/C-suite level — how do you crack that? What's actually worked to get a senior leader to drop the armor and engage honestly? Curious whether it's a technique, a question you ask early, or just time.

I’m looking for those who have turned their book or experience into a keynote or breakout talk. I’m looking for some success stories if they are out there for my own motivation to take mine a step further.

Just researching, yeah the old fashioned way.

So as the title says, I’m interested in the platforms people are using. Pros and cons, commission rates, gatekeeping blockers for assets, available audience that type of stuff.

What’s things you hate, but put up with because they’re best in class.

And if you’re not using one, how is independent reach and delivery treating you. What’s the pain points there? Assumption would be outreach?

Hi, I am enrolled in an Executive Coaching training program, working toward the ICF ACC certification.

I wonder how do you get the 100 hours of coaching practice, especially the paid ones?

The organization through which I am learning helps a bit, but most of the clients need to be recruited autonomously.

Are there online communities, marketplaces, or similar spaces/organizations that help?

Any strategies you would recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Wondering what software everyone's using for your practice these days, and are you using AI? If so, how? If not, why?

Anything for work direct with clients, or staying in touch between sessions?
Anything for your session notes, action items, etc?
Anything for staying in touch with leads/prospects?
Whats your stance on AI - do you use it for anything, and/or is there anything that you recommend for your clients to use between sessions?

What would you recommend/not recommend for modernizing your practice?

I've been handling events for years and always do it in the way I know ever since. A microphone passed around for questions, a show of hands for a quick read on the room, a printed schedule and a name badge. But lately it's not working. But nowadays, it's not working. When I ask questions, it's only the few people who engage frequently and the rest are just mum about what's going on around.

Networking is also worse. I put people in a room, hope they find the right person, and only learn it fell flat when the feedback forms come back lukewarm.

The part that stings most is having nothing to actually show. When a sponsor or my boss asks whether the event actually worked, I'm left with my gut sense that it "maybe it worked," which is getting harder to defend every year. I keep hearing there are tools built for exactly this, but I don't know which ones are worth it, whether my attendees would even use them, or if I'd just be trading problems I understand for new ones I don't.
