Associate Coaching & Coaching Platforms

Jenny helps coaches understand the world of associate coaching and use it as a practical route to building their coaching practice.

Her work explores the many ways coaches can deliver coaching through organisations other than their own business, including coaching consultancies, providers, platforms and larger coaching programmes. Jenny helps coaches understand where these opportunities come from, what providers look for, how to become someone they want to work with, and what it takes to build a strong reputation once the work begins.

“
“My aim is straightforward: to help coaches understand how the associate market really works and become credible, reliable coaches that organisations want to work with repeatedly.”
