I’m a Marketing Coach specialising in working with women. If you’re a solo entrepreneur, I can help you to market effectively to get more business. Perhaps you’re in your start up phase, or you’re up and running, but still finding promoting your business something of a challenge or want things to move faster for you. Or maybe you’re working for a company – I’m also an expert on personal branding and networking in the workplace.
Seven years ago I started my own consultancy, and since then I’ve grown it into a successful international business. Today I still train and advise women from many different countries all over the world. Maybe like many of my clients, you’re feeling like you just hate marketing, and/or are scared of selling. Or maybe you’re just feeling overwhelmed by everything you feel you need to do. I also see professional women who just don’t communicate their value in the workplace. And it really doesn’t need to be that way! If any of this sounds like you, or you have another reason for getting in touch, I’m here for focused support on how to make it all work for you. I can cut through any mysteries of networking and which promotional strategies could really work for you. You’ll feel more confident and empowered to effectively communicate just why people should value and be willing to pay for what you do. And most importantly, as an experienced Marketing Coach, I understand you need strategies which are always a precise fit for you individual needs.
Marketing and personal branding should be like a beautiful set of clothes – tailor made to fitted to you and your business. It should show off your best assets and powerfully communicate who you are. I’ll help you to create that beautiful set of clothes. You’ll leave our session with exciting, practical ideas that you can put into practice straight away to move forward in your business or your workplace.
I would be delighted to have you join the thousands of women my specialist advice has already helped. Contact me today for your free 15 minute phone consultation, to see how we can work together to start confidently move your career or business forward – until then, I wish you every success,
Sonia

Why Coaches need a Personal Profile
If you are a coach with any kind of web presence - even if it is just one web page with your contact details - you need a personal profile. When people find information on you on the web, they want to find out more about you and what you can do to help them and a personal profile can help you communicate this as well as make a more powerful connection with readers. You may already have an About Us page on your website - and it is also worth considering how much of a sense of you as a coach and as a person is communicated by this page.

Peer Coaching Programme
Our Peer Coaching programme is a free service to Coaches Plus members.
The programme enables you to:
- practice your coaching
- receive coaching - from a range of differently trained and experienced coaches
- receive feedback from other coaches
- build and develop your skills based on feedback
- build your coaching hours for credentialling and accreditation
- build collaborative relationships with other coaches
How does it work?
We match you with two other coaches, one will be your client, the other will coach you. You are coached for a minimum of 6 hours and coach for a minimum of 6 hours by telephone or VOIP (e.g. Skype) . At the end of the programme you provide feedback to your coach and receive feedback from your client.
This will allow you to experience coaching from a range of differently trained and experienced coaches and build up your coaching hours for professional accreditation and credentialling.
You can take part as many times as you like in a year and we aim to start a peer coaching programme every two months.
