Development Services for Coaches - Coaching for Coaches
Every coaching practice is different, so it’s essential to plan, explore and focus on your business objectives and unique coaching offering before you start to drive your business forward. As a business owner for 10 years, I have the coaching experience to offer you independent guidance and support to enable you to grow your coaching practice.
I coach individuals on a 1-1 basis to understand what may be needed to set up or develop your coaching practice, and we’ll focus on your unique purpose for your coaching business. Throughout our sessions, I’ll encourage you to help you grow your ideas and confidence.
​
I can also run group sessions if you are in a coaching partnership where we work together to help you transition to running and driving a coaching business that is unique, authentic, safe and satisfying for you and your clients.
The Process
​
During a free zoom consultation, we’ll discuss you and your coaching background and business needs to create a business coaching programme which will meet your coaching practice needs and timescales.
​
Sessions of 1 hour are via Zoom (or your preferred virtual platform), and at the end of our agreed time, you will have formulated a plan of action to drive your coaching business forwards.
​
My aim for business coaching is to offer you a place of collaboration, openness, learning, empathy and sharing without judgement to co-create ideas and solutions for your coaching practice.

"I discovered Kate from her excellent book The Coaching Solopreneur. I then worked with Kate in setting up my coaching business.
It was a real pleasure working with Kate on the aspects of the business I knew nothing about. Each session focused on one part, making me realise what I did not know, and I have to thank Kate for that.
Being a coach, Kate's style of business mentoring is a mix of coaching and mentoring, which I needed.
I would recommend any coach starting their own business to talk to Kate, she is brilliant at what she does and was a fantastic help to me.
Thank you Kate."
Kate’s approach was compassionate, practical and brought a really positive ‘stretch’ to my business preparation processes. I am currently setting up as a coaching solopreneur after 20 years of working as an international aid worker, and Kate helped me understand how to synthesize my experience in the non profit world into my new coaching offering. Kate offered expert guidance and gave me the push that I needed to set up financial planning and my marketing plan so I am set up for success as a new business owner. I learned a huge amount from reading Kate’s excellent book, the Coaching Solopreneur, but I really deepened my understanding through the sessions. I would heartily recommend working with Kate for anyone planning to set up a coaching business or in the early stages of solopreneurship. This additional help can help you overcome the natural ups and downs of the start up phase of your business and make a sustainable income. Thank you Kate
"This was an invaluable introduction to the business side of running a coaching business. It was packed with everything you know you ought to know but don't about how to get up and running. Definitely recommended!' The workshop provided a great opportunity to think through our business purpose and focus, providing tools and space to reflect and articulate these, perfectly balanced with a ton of practical information, going through the many different dimensions and practical considerations for setting up your own coaching business; wrapped up in a great workshop agenda, fantastic facilitation and personal experiences shared by the faculty, which really helped take the content from the theoretical into the practical and personal. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is in the process of, or simply considering, setting up their own practice, or is already running their own business and in need of a bit of an 'audit'."
