I help you create and lead a group coaching program that will serve and support your clients as they transform their lives. I help you turn your ideas into an impactful program that your clients are willing to pay to be a part of.When it comes to group programs, most established coaches experience frustration or overwhelm at any of these points:• Deciding what to include (& more importantly not include) in your program• Designing the activities and experiences to lead clients through• Getting everything done before the looming launch date • Leading the actual session I share tips, tools, and frameworks that you can put into action to bring your program to your dream clients with ease and some laughs along the way. For new programs, I help you determine the outcome as well as design the overall program structure and resources. I can also help you enhance an existing group program.We work together with my EASE framework (Engaging, Actionable, Supportive, & Effortless) to craft the program module by module; session by session. We do this in two ways: ✯ we help coaches, authors, and experts launch the programs they have been envisioning for years ✯ we design and facilitate programs that all include community components that help to ensure the growth is impactful and long lastingSo whether you’re a subject matter expert looking for someone to help you design and develop a program that actually inspires your audience to take action and create change, or someone who could use some support and guidance as you work through your own growth and life transitions, we are here to help.
