  Why Hard Work Isn't Growing Your Coaching Business And What To Do Instead

  Building a successful coaching business is rarely about working harder. More often, coaches stay stuck because they invest their limited time in activities that feel productive but fail to generate momentum, clients, or sustainable growth.

  In this interactive session, participants will learn how to evaluate their business through a strategic lens and identify the highest-return activities based on the amount of time they actually have available. Whether they have five hours a week or are building their business full-time, attendees will leave with a practical framework for deciding exactly where to focus their energy.

  Together, we'll explore the common patterns that keep coaches spinning their wheels - from over-creating content and collecting certifications to inconsistent sales conversations and unclear offers. We will discuss how to replace busy work with intentional business-building.

  Drawing on real coaching business case studies, practical business strategy, and years of supporting coaches at every stage of growth, Allexis will introduce simple decision-making frameworks that help coaches create consistent progress without burnout. Participants will leave with an action plan, practical tools they can implement immediately, and a renewed sense of clarity and confidence about their next steps.

  Session Description:

  Mentor coaching is often viewed as a credentialing requirement, but its value extends far beyond certification. In this session, participants will explore how mentor coaching strengthens coaching effectiveness through structured feedback, reflection, and competency-based development. We will clarify what mentor coaching is (and isn't), discuss why it matters for professional growth, review upcoming ICF changes, and highlight how mentor coaching can support coaches at every stage of their development journey.

  Key Takeaways:

  • Understand what mentor coaching is and how it differs from training, consulting, supervision, and coaching education.

  • Learn how mentor coaching supports coaching excellence through observation, feedback, reflection, and skill development.

  • Recognize common coaching habits and growth opportunities that mentor coaching can help uncover.

  • Explore the role of mentor coaching in ICF credentialing, renewal, and ongoing professional development.

  • Gain insight into recent ICF changes, including the Mentor Coaching Specialization (MCS) and what it means for coaches pursuing credentials after January 2027.

  • Feel more confident selecting a mentor coach and determining their next steps for engaging in mentor coaching.

  Session Description:

  The world is breaking. Fearful organizations grip more tightly, demanding performance at the expense of humanity, and that seeps into our coaching. Coaches become more risk-averse, and the people we work with become more guarded.

  In its pursuit of professional credibility, coaching has built frameworks, competencies and measurable outcomes. But in doing so, it risks losing the essence that makes it come alive: love.

  This contemplative session is a call to bring back love in coaching.

  Rather than learning about love, coaches come to feel it, in their bodies, so that they experience their own worthiness and understand from the inside why this belongs at the heart of coaching.

  In this session, we settle, we turn toward another with open hearts, and we let ourselves be met.

  Join us as we:

  •   Recognize and undo the conditioning that taught us to leave love at the door of our practices

  •   Trust the intelligence of our hearts as a catalyst for change

  •   Reclaim coaching as a whole human being

  It’s an invitation into unhurried spaciousness and to walk away with an embodied sense of being seen and loved as we are, and a clearer appreciation of why that belongs in the coaching chair.
