Business Development SIG: Back to School? Foundations of a Coaching Business

The Business Development Special Interest Group, like many groups, has taken a several month hiatus since earlier in the year. 

• As summer concludes, fall begins, and notions of education and schooling return. It is with high anticipation that the new SIG season kicks off with a theme, “Back to School?:  Foundations of a Coaching Business.”  

  The program will be ideal for those who are external coaches and are either early in the development of their coaching practices or are seasoned practitioners who entertain revisiting business fundamentals.  Among topics to be covered:

• • Why incorporate?  Or why not?
  • Tax considerations:  what and what not is deductible?
  • Liability insurance.
  • Establishing bank accounts and procedures for accounts receivable and payable.
  • Pricing services.
  • Social media:  websites, twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.
  • And so much more!

• Join us for this highly interactive gathering will be three of our very own GCC members as panelists to share their experiences not only from inception, but the successes and challenges they each still face.

• • Deanna Vogt, Aurora Coaching, Long Beach, MS
  • Kirk McCarley, The Seed Sower Coach, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
  • Laila Morcos Zissis, Laila Morcos Zissis Coaching, New Orleans

We look forward to seeing you there!

The Business Development Group is a Special Interest component of the ICF Gulf Coast Chapter with a mission of supporting and encouraging chapter members to achieve success in their coaching pursuits and businesses.
