Hands up who needs more clarity, support and accountability in their life?

Research shows that coaching significantly enhances the chances of achieving personal and professional goals. So of course Business Club members receive complimentary access to their very own 1:1 coaching session, with one of our panel of expert coaches – and we have even added some new ones to ensure we are maximising the help we can offer our members. Each coach brings their own area of specialisation, in addition to our Group Coaching Circle which allows true peer-to-peer learning over the course of five months.

For women seeking a deeper level of connection and support, we have the IMAGE Business Club Coaching Circle. Designed to bring members sustained support over a five-month period, five women will be supported by a coach to explore relevant themes in monthly one-hour video sessions. Members will be able to work on the challenges that really matter to them through laser coaching and by tapping into the collective wisdom of the group, delivering personal insights in a supported environment.

Each of our new coaches has a different specialist area, so you can decide who would be the best fit for you and our coaches can help you navigate the issues that are most important for you, whether that is in your 1:1 session or in a supportive group setting.
