What if the way you sell your coaching is getting in the way of the coaching itself?
In this solo episode, Robbie shares how his thinking and practice around selling coaching packages has evolved — from charging by the session, to selling time-bound coaching engagements that prioritise impact, flexibility and real transformation.
This candid, behind-the-scenes reflection covers everything from awkward money conversations to powerful client breakthroughs — and invites coaches to rethink how they price and package their work. Drawing from his own business journey, the coaching he’s received, and the coaches he's supported, Robbie lays out a compelling case for selling periods of time, not sessions.
Whether you’re new to coaching or looking to grow a more sustainable, generous practice, this episode will help you:
Reflect on how your current engagements are serving you — and your clients
Explore how time-based engagements can build trust, accountability and transformation
Set ambitious goals with clients in ways that feel natural and expansive
Avoid the session-counting mindset that can limit both coach and client
See how changing the way you package your coaching can change the value clients see in it.
Embrace the idea of being a companion on your client’s journey — not just a service provider
With honesty and nuance, Robbie invites you to experiment with what works for you — and to create coaching offers that feel both nourishing and powerful.
