The Business Coaching course is a MUST for anyone starting their Coaching practice, as well as those wanting to scale their existing business. As someone who loves being a coach but has struggled in the past with the step-by-step administrative pieces necessary to make my business run smoothly, Marissa’s course was exactly what I needed. Her skills as an instructor really shine in teaching us the tools, along with addressing our Mindsets. She also taught creative marketing ideas for those of us who are starting out, as well as other ideas for when we got further along in our successful Coaching practices. Marissa also possesses a warm, approachable nature and always took the time necessary in answering our questions. I give this course 5 Stars (10 Stars if I could!) and would recommend it to anyone. 

I was already somewhat on my way to building a practice, but in the class Marissa helped me get the kind of clarity that I was looking for and now I truly feel like I know exactly what my path is and how to move confidently towards my niche market. I’m certain it would’ve taken me months of experimentation on my own to get to where this class got me in the first 6 weeks. Discussing weekly with other students and having accountability for the homework were invaluable resources that I needed more than I realized. I learned about myself as a coach, practiced how to communicate with my potential clients, clarified my mission and vision, and now I feel in flow. I am absolutely thrilled with the insights I got by working through the course. I feel like I have found the way, and this class was an enormous catalyst for that.  

I needed this training program! This program was the anchor I needed. The coursework was thoughtfully structured, engaging, and impressively thorough. Marissa brought the course content to life, weaving in her own experience as a coach entrepreneur, while doing a masterful job of distilling down concepts and strategies into bite-sized, actionable steps. I was also really impressed with the group dynamic Marissa developed for our weekly integration classes – it’s almost hard to put into words! I left each one inspired by my classmates and grateful for their warmth, kindness, and support. With this support I found my focus, I got crystal clear on my vision, and I’m now building a business that speaks from my soul.

I found myself overwhelmed and stymied by all the different aspects of starting a business…much less a coaching practice in a market to which I am so new.  I was desperately looking for a way to become “unstuck”.  Through the structured content of the course, I was able to compartmentalize the many facets of this process into manageable steps.  As a direct extension of Deanne Adamson’s depth of wisdom and business acumen, the structure and content of the course were exactly what I needed to push me over the threshold and truly get moving. While the content and structure of the course were so valuable for me, equally as valuable were both the care and experience of our instructor, Marissa Gagliardi, as well as the authentic participation from my classmates.
