Last week’s show was about growing your online presence with a website, and today’s show builds on that momentum. The truth is that you have to be visible online for your potential clients to find you, and that has never been more relevant than it is in today’s coronavirus pandemic. Having an online presence does NOT mean that you are doomed to spend hours each day on social media sites. Join us to learn more about maximizing your online presence and leveraging the available resources to build your coaching business.

Debbie Peck has been an online marketer since 1999, as well as being a marketing coach and consultant. She also owns a digital marketing agency that helps people set up courses and funnels and facilitates launches and launch strategies to bring in business. She is currently in her home country of Canada, but she lives the freedom lifestyle as a digital nomad, traveling the world to do her business from anywhere--when COVID-19 isn’t restricting travel. In today’s show, Debbie shares how we can use her strategies to bring in leads online and maximize our online presence.

Join Mentoring Program!

If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you.

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.
