You are visible, but it is not creating conversations
You post, share ideas and stay active, yet too few of the right people take the next step.

Does this sound familiar?
You know how to coach. Finding clients feels far less predictable.
A strong coaching qualification does not automatically give you a clear offer, the right audience
or a reliable path from visibility to paid work.
Your offer is harder to explain than it should be
People like what you do, but they do not immediately understand the value or why it is right for them.
Your network is not working as a client pipeline
You have connections and contacts,
but no clear way to turn them into relationships, referrals and opportunities.
The format
The Hot Seat was designed around real business challenges.
The session was built to work through 2 real coaching business challenges live, with the questions,
decisions and practical next steps taking shape in real time.
Bring a real challenge
The format centred on real coaching business challenges rather than hypothetical examples.
Work through it live
2 selected coaches were to receive a focused 20 minute strategy session with Cathy and Sarah.
Leave with a clearer next move
Everyone watching would be able to apply the questions and insights to their own business.
Bring a challenge like this
What is really blocking your next client?
I know who I want to coach, but I cannot explain clearly why they should choose me.
My LinkedIn profile still reads like a corporate CV rather than a coaching business.
People are interested in what I do, but too few conversations become paying clients.
I have a large network, but I do not know which relationships could lead to clients or referrals.
I am not confident that my offer and pricing reflect the value of the work.
I am visible and posting regularly, but it is not leading to enough genuine conversations.
Meet your hosts
2 perspectives on the same client journey.
Both Cathy and Sarah understand client attraction. Each brings a different lens to help uncover where the real blockage sits.
