“I took part in one of Ilona's coaching groups. Ilona guided us week after week for 6 consecutive sessions with strong, deep questions. The dynamics of the group was fluid, open and encouraging. In-between sessions we were invited to continue reflecting, share views and challenge each other. I enjoyed the fact that the sessions were weekly. Not much time in-between, therefore action steps had to be small and realistic. I surely recommend coaching with Ilona.”

Coaching, Mentoring, Training, Facilitating with CLARMONY

Many people become coaches because they love the idea of coaching, dedicated to making a difference in people's life or someone tells them that they are good at listening and they should consider taking coaching as a profession. So they may or may not quit their job, spend thousands of dollars on courses, then they don't know how to start or struggle to stay in business. So they spend another couple of thousands on courses to get better, offer pro bono sessions to gain more experience, then they may pay for marketing experts to help them find clients. “After all, many coaches end up leaving the field or becoming burnt out because they cannot make sufficient money or find enough clients (Rivera & Rivera, 2019).”

According to data, 95% of coaching businesses fail in the first 2 years.

If you are familiar with what I am talking about, then keep reading. 

You might be thinking about:

• how to start a coaching business, you want to offer your amazing services
• not sure if what you planned would work out
• you are doing all the unimportant tasks because you don’t know what the priority is 
• spending more time and money on courses and building the business than making money
• you feel insecure because you left your job to become a coach but it is not going the way you wanted so far
• not sure how to plan ahead and what goals you want to achieve
• there are too many moving parts and you get lost in tasks
• you need an accountability partner / group to stay on track with your actions

 

Working with people is not only about coaching but we also need to know and understand the business side of it. There are many great experts out there and if you want to be a professional and be successful then you must get paid for it. The business side of things is boring, complex and not so easy to do. Most people dislike social media, building the website, dislike marketing or sales, are unfamiliar with the legal side or have no confidence in quoting the price for their services. Well, to be a successful coach we must build the business side of thighs. You don't have to do everything yourself but at least know what running a coaching business involves.

• Each session is focused on 1 particular pillar, 12 business pillars are covered. 
• An additional 3 Mastermind events to network and share info with fellow coaches. 
• By the end of the 12 weeks participants have an overall view of the necessities of a successful coaching business.
• Runs 2 times a year only, 21st March - 12th June and 22nd August - 13th November 2022.
• I work with global members so to accommodate all time zones, sessions run on Tuesdays at 11.00am EST and Thursdays at 1.00pm EST. Times are subject to change for each term. 
• Spaces on each programme are allocated on a first come first serve basis.
• Masterminds run on every 4th week of the programme, on Saturdays at 8.00am EST. Time is subject to change for each term. 

 

The programme is for coaches who value and appreciate the power of coaching. The purpose is not to give you answers and step-by-step guidance but to start the thinking processes, gather ideas, set focus, make decisions, start actions and hold accountability. Within this programme I don't teach, mentor or advise, only coach and set you up with tools that you can use to enhance your own journey.

 

• Organise your thoughts and learn how to start your own coaching business.
• Discover answers to your questions: how to find clients, what niche to select, how much to charge for your packages, what marketing channels to use, where to find networking groups and JV partners, what sales beliefs hold you back from progressing and many more!
• Set goals and believe that you are capable of achieving them. 
• Familiarise yourself with the 12 pillars of the successful business and be confident in mastering them. 
• Why group coaching? Because when working with others, you are part of a community where you support each other, hold each other accountable, and find out that you are not alone in the process of building a business. Participants join from different countries and cultures with a wide variety of expertise, all working towards similar goals. We can all learn from each other, no matter where you are in your business, because everyone knows something that others don't.
