Member story · The Coach Gym

A member’s story

I had attended a couple of ANZCAL Coach Gym sessions before, but this was the first time I put my hand up and brought a real challenge from my own coaching business to the group.

I had been struggling for some time with how to move away from charging my adult career coaching clients by the hour and towards offering a more comprehensive coaching package. I knew from experience that my clients needed more than one or two sessions to achieve the kind of clarity, confidence and direction they were looking for, and I was often giving far more time and support than I was charging for. But I had a real block around packaging that work and confidently putting a value on it.

During the Coach Gym, Sharn really challenged me to stop thinking about the number of sessions I was providing and instead think deeply about the outcomes my clients were actually coming to me for. Sam and the other coaches in the group added their own questions, perspectives and encouragement, and it completely shifted the way I was looking at my service.

I came away from that session and spent time really thinking about the transformation I want my clients to experience, what I need to provide to achieve that, and what a coaching package would need to look like for me to feel I was delivering exceptional value while also being appropriately rewarded for the work I do.

Within less than a week, I had turned those reflections into a new adult coaching package AND sold my first package at a significantly higher value than I had previously been earning from an individual adult client.

For me, that result was about much more than the financial difference. It gave me the confidence to value my expertise differently and to create a service where I know I can give my clients the depth of support they need to achieve a genuinely positive outcome, while also building a more sustainable coaching business for myself.

There is something incredibly valuable about having a trusted group of coaches around you who bring different levels of experience, business knowledge and perspectives, and who are willing to ask the questions that make you think more deeply. The Coach Gym gave me exactly that.

Sometimes you don’t need someone to give you the answer…you need the right people to ask you the right questions. For me, one Coach Gym conversation created a significant shift in both my thinking and my business, and I’m incredibly grateful for it.
