• Are you a newly trained coach setting out on your own?
• Or is your business up and running but you’re finding times tough?
• Or a practicing coach whose business skills are a little rusty?

Then spend a morning with CoachCloud learning some of the essentials you need to take the stress out of being your own boss!

Our taster session will:

1. discuss the basics of starting and running a business – the options you have and the pros and cons of each.
2. explain why selling is a big part of any successful coaching business – and boost your ability to do just that.
3. review the different documentation you’ll need to run your business – from terms of business to coaching contracts.

You will also have a chance to share your hopes (and perhaps even your fears) about running a successful coaching business with people who are in exactly the same boat.

Plus you’ll get the chance to quiz the CoachCloud team about their experiences in business.
