Many coaches struggle to get coaching hours in the early days after completing their first coach
training. Challenges may include: balancing coaching with a full-time job and/or family
responsibilities, lack of confidence in presenting oneself as a coach, transitioning from being in
a coach community to feeling adrift after classes end, feeling overwhelmed with uncertainty
around questions of pricing, niche, etc.
Common questions new coaches ask on the path to their first 100 hours:
- How do I find people to coach?
- How do I track my hours?
- What should I charge?
- Do I need a niche?
- What if I don’t know what kind of coaching I want to specialize in?
- Do I need a contract? How do I get one?
- How will people pay me?
- Do I need insurance? How do I get that?
Scope of course
The focus is on supporting coaches to complete their first 100 hours of coaching, so they can
achieve their ACC credential with ICF. It’s easy for coaches to lose steam or feel overwhelmed
or discouraged. This program will help them continue forward.
This is NOT a business building series, though some business related questions may arise and
will be addressed within the scope of their first 100 hours.
Each session will focus on the same core question: How do you get your first 100 hours?
If it is helpful to distinguish in some way between each session, suggested topics are offered below.
- Sat. April 10, 10am - 11am PST
- Fundamentals: What you need to know about your first 100 hours.
- Sat. April 17, 10am - 11am PST
- Getting Unstuck: What’s in the way?
- Sat. April 24, 10am - 11am PST
- Design Your Path: How to get 100 hours even when. . .
