Frequently Asked Questions

Coaches

I’m often asked for advice and guidance from other coaches who may be at an earlier stage of their journey, who want to know more about my business development experience, pricing, becoming the best coach you can be, the ICF credentialing process, supervision or writing a book.

I’ve put together this list of resources and signposts, which will help to answer the most popular questions I’m asked. I hope it’s useful to you:

1. If you want to know about my business development journey and my lessons learned, for the benefit of your own business development, you can read my story here.
2. If you want to benchmark your coaching pricing and understand the costs of running a business, read this article.
3. If you want help simplifying the ICF credentialing process, I host monthly group calls to do just that.  I advertise them through LinkedIn, or you can contact my Business Manager, Debbie, for the next date and Zoom link.
4. If you want to practice your coaching with feedback using the ICF competencies as the benchmark, I run the monthly Southampton Coaching Circle online; details here.
5. If you want to know what I have learned about the mindsets you need for masterful coaching, start with my book, The Transformational Coach and then come to a mentor coaching programme for feedback on your own coaching mindsets and skillsets.
6. Do you wish your clients would step up to deeper thinking? Through my book Cultivating Coachability, where I share my experiences, relatable case studies and holistic strategies, you’ll discover how to redefine the coaching experience, develop truly engaged thinkers and reignite your passion for transformational coaching.
7. I also facilitate webinars and book clubs for coaching circles around the world, on the mindsets we need to unlearn to be an extraordinary coach, so look out for those on LinkedIn – or ask me to come to your group.
