Beyond the Badge

Build a Steady, Professional Coaching Practice
Coaching is a profession. Not a side hustle.

Beyond the Badge is for coaches who know their coaching works but still feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or inconsistent when it comes to the business side. 

You care deeply about your clients. You work hard. But your business doesn’t yet feel clear, organized, or steady. 

This program helps you clarify, structure, and stabilize your coaching practice, without losing integrity, presence, or joy.

Applications open for the next cohort

Beyond the Badge is for you if you:

  • Are a trained coach, with or without a credential

  • Know your coaching works

  • Feel income is inconsistent or stressful

  • Are tired of guessing what to do next

  • Want a business that feels solid, professional, and manageable

This program is designed for coaches who want to treat coaching like a real profession, not a side hustle.

  • Beyond the Badge helps you:

    • Understand where your business really is today

    • Get clear on what you offer and who it is for

    • Set pricing you can state confidently

    • Put simple structure around agreements, delivery, and client flow

    • Leave with a practical plan you understand and believe in

    This is about operational clarity and confidence.

  • Beyond the Badge does not:

    • Build funnels or write sales scripts

    • Create content or find leads for you

    • Do any of the work for you

    It gives you the tools, clarity, and structure to run your coaching business without burning out.

  • The structure mirrors our Mentor Coaching program for simplicity and ease of step-in:

    • 10 total hours

    • 7 group sessions (applied learning labs)

    • 3 one-to-one sessions (personalized integration)

    • Live and virtual

    • Small cohort

    • Practical, conversation-based

  • By the end of Beyond the Badge, you will have:

    • Clear offers you can explain simply

    • Pricing you can say out loud with confidence

    • Professional agreements and boundaries

    • A better handle on your time and energy

    • A practical 12-month plan you understand and believe in

    Most importantly, you will know where you’re going, what’s in the way, and how to move forward.

  • Alison Geskin, PCC, Founder, The Art of Strategy
