Welcome Session

Build a Coaching Practice That Lets You Love Your Summer (Without Starting Over in the Fall)

Jen Wright, NBC-HWC

It's natural for coaching practices to move through seasons. There are times of momentum, growth, and visibility, and times when things naturally slow down, shift, or require more space.

When coaches aren’t prepared for these cycles, it’s easy to fall into reaction mode. A slower season can create stress around income and visibility, while a busy season can lead to overworking, inconsistent marketing, and burnout.

In this opening retreat session, coaches will be invited to rethink what sustainable growth really looks like. They’ll learn how to recognize the patterns in their business, plan with more intention, and make grounded decisions that support both their practice and the life they are building around it.

By the end of this class, coaches will be able to:

  • Identify patterns of busy and slow seasons in their coaching practice

  • Describe how different business “modes” (growth, maintenance, rest) affect their work

  • Create a simple plan for how to use slower seasons more effectively

  • Apply a structured approach to reduce stress during both slow and busy periods

Designing Your Coaching Practice: From Clinical Structure to Private

Practice

Megan Hadley, MA, NBC-HWC

Many coaches enter private practice expecting to simply coach clients. Instead, they discover they're also responsible for creating the systems, processes, and client experience that support successful coaching relationships.

In this session, we'll explore what makes private practice different from clinical and organizational settings and how coaching skills extend far beyond the coaching session itself. You'll learn how trust is built before a client ever signs up, how onboarding and early conversations shape outcomes, and how to design a client experience that reflects your values and strengths.

You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the private practice journey, greater confidence in your role as both coach and practice owner, and one specific improvement you can make to strengthen your client experience.

By the end of this class, coaches will be able to:

  • Describe how the client journey differs between clinical and private practice settings

  • Recognize where coaching skills show up before and beyond the coaching session

  • Apply coaching skills to consults, onboarding, and early client interactions

  • Identify one change to strengthen their private practice client experience

Lunch & Learn Workshop Your Seasons of Life Can Nurture the Seasons of your Business

Paula Forte, PhD, RN, MSN, NBC-HWC

It's easy to believe your business should keep moving at the same pace regardless of what's happening in your life. But coaches are human first. Life brings seasons of growth, challenge, caregiving, healing, transition, and renewal.

In this reflective Lunch & Learn, we'll explore how your lived experiences shape both your coaching and your business. You'll have space to consider your current season of life, uncover strengths developed through past challenges, and reflect on how your personal journey can inform your work in meaningful and ethical ways.

You'll leave feeling more grounded in where you are today, more confident in the value of your experience, and clearer about how to let your business evolve alongside your life.

By the end of this class, coaches will be able to:

  • Identify their current season of life and how it affects their energy and business

  • Describe how past challenges have shaped their growth and coaching skills

  • Apply reflection tools to build confidence and support client conversations

  • Use their personal story appropriately to build trust and connection with clients

Start Before You're Ready: Permission to Begin

Kathleen Moreira, NBC-HWC

Many coaches spend months, or even years, preparing to grow their business. They take another course, tweak their website, revise their offer, and wait for confidence to arrive. The problem is that confidence rarely comes before action.

In this session, we'll look at the patterns that keep coaches stuck in preparation mode and explore a different path forward. You'll learn why perfectionism often disguises itself as productivity, how action creates clarity, and what it means to move forward before everything feels certain.

You'll leave with a realistic understanding of what's keeping you stuck, a practical framework for building confidence through action, and one meaningful step you can take immediately to move your coaching business forward.

By the end of this class, coaches will be able to:

  • Identify thoughts and habits that keep them stuck in preparation mode

  • Explain why taking action builds confidence and clarity

  • Choose one realistic step to move their coaching business forward

  • Take action toward building a coaching practice without waiting to feel fully ready

Caring for the Coach: The Link Between Self-Care and Coaching Success

Talaya Dendy, BCPA, NBC-HWC

Health and wellness coaches spend their days supporting others. Yet many find it difficult to offer themselves the same compassion, patience, and care they encourage in their clients.

We'll explore the connection between self-care, self-belief, and sustainable coaching practice. Through reflection, discussion, and practical exercises, you'll uncover the beliefs that may be getting in the way of caring for yourself consistently and learn simple tools you can use when stress and overwhelm arise.

You'll leave with greater awareness, a deeper sense of self-compassion, and one supportive action you can take to care for yourself in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

By the end of this class, coaches will be able to:

  • Recognize when they are neglecting their own self-care

  • Identify beliefs that impact their ability to care for themselves

  • Practice a simple self-compassion tool in the moment

  • Take one small, supportive action to care for themselves during busy or stressful seasons

Simplify to Grow: How to Strengthen Your Core Coaching Offer

Emma Vasseur, MA, NBC-HWC

When client enrollment feels inconsistent, many coaches assume they need a new offer. They create new packages, change their messaging, or start over entirely. But often the issue isn't a lack of ideas. It's a lack of clarity about what's already working.

Learn how to stop constantly rebuilding and start strengthening the offer you already have.

You'll learn how to evaluate your current offer using a simple validation framework, gather meaningful client feedback, and identify the adjustments that create stronger results.

You'll leave with greater clarity, a practical scorecard you can use immediately, and a focused plan for improving your core offer without adding more complexity to your business.

By the end of this class, coaches will be able to:

  • Identify whether their current coaching offer has been fully tested and validated

  • Use a simple scorecard to evaluate the strength of their offer

  • Focus their energy on improving one core offer instead of creating new ones

  • Take one clear action to strengthen their offer and better support client results
