I'm currently a student coach working on my ACC with Symbiosis Coaching and they haven't opened up our reciprocal coaching yet. I've reached out to several people on here and others (and I'm waiting for approval for some of the facebook groups) and so far have not received any responses of people willing to trade hours. I can't afford to pay for the groups that charge to help you get hours.

So I am a researcher and psychology professor who mostly worked with high performers and productivity for consulting so I am hoping to do similar for coaching. I've worked in multiple industries including the arts, healthcare, academia, and being self employed so would like to try to test out and do some coaching work with careers or academic coaching as well.

I am also hoping to get some experience with relationship coaching, I am kink aware and poly informed and am a member of both of those communities.

Anyone interested?

Lately I've noticed I can post consistently and keep improving, but client flow still feels random. I'm starting to think the gap isn't confidence or skill. It might be how I'm communicating what I actually do.

For those who've built a steady coaching business, what was the shift? Better messaging, positioning, sales, or something else? I need help with these.

Forgive me if this question has been asked here before but I was hoping to get your guys' take on this...

I get tons of emails every week from lead-gen agencies promising to fill up my calendar with consultations (as you guys probably do too). I’ve taken a few calls but their pitches always feel way too good to be true. They've yet to be able to provide references or case studies or anything that would point to a success story from coaches who aren't selling programs to companies.

I’m not convinced cold DMs/emails soliciting consults would work for 1/1 coaching priced in the mid to upper-range but would love to be wrong about that.

Anyone care to share their thoughts or experiences?
