Want to know how I got my business up and running so quickly? I got a coach, simple as that! The Monday morning after my very first encounter with the Coaching Academy I sat at my work desk and googled 'life coach.' I found someone I liked the look of and booked 6 coaching sessions. Believe it or not over the last 12 months I've had 4 different coaches. Call me greedy but I was, and still am, absolutely determined to create and run a successful business.
So how has coaching helped me?
- Motivated me to complete my diploma
- Helped me to understand the nuts and bolts of setting up a business
- Helped me to identify a niche and understand my client
- Gave me a crash course in marketing
- Boosted my confidence
- Keeps me focused and organised
- Helps me to deal with personal stuff that can get in the way
- Helps me to juggle my very busy life
Hannah McNamara - Hannah runs Marketing Help for Coaches which is an amazing online resource and support site. I did her one to one 3 Month Marketing Mentor package this time last year and it helped me to turn a fuzzy idea into a strong business plan. She helped me to identify and understand my client so I was abe to produce a strong brand and communicate my marketing message effectively. I really loved working with Hannah and still have the occasional top up session to keep me focussed.
Karen Skidmore - Karen runs Can Do Can Be and works with women who want to create successful home businesses. I did Karen's kick start programme last September when I was feeling a bit disillusioned with my business. I'm sure you know what I mean; I'd spent a load of cash on a really expensive course, I'd just moved out of London and things just weren't going my way. Karen's coaching really helped me realise my business was doing great but I was being far too hard on myself.
Rachael Clow - Rachael is a performance coach who usually works in the corporate world with high profile entrepreneurs. I had the pleasure of meeting Rachael through the Coaching Academy and I had my very first session with her last month. Rachael helped me tackle some personal issues that were having a huge impact on how I was running my business. Really powerful stuff!
Diana Penny - I've been working with Diana for the last 6 weeks. She's been instrumental in helping me to get my website designed, written and launched. It's been a whirl wind but she's certainly kept me on track.

I hope you've found this useful and I'd love to hear how coaching has helped your business.
