What's the unglamorous side of running a coaching practice nobody talks about?
There's a lot of content about coaching
methodologies, client breakthroughs,
business development.
Much less about what a realistic week
actually looks like operationally.
For those running active coaching practices:
Break down your week honestly — how many
hours are actual coaching sessions vs
everything that surrounds them?
What does your pre-session prep look like?
How long does it take per client?
What happens immediately after a session ends —
walk me through the next 30-60 minutes?
Where does the time go that you wish it didn't?
What part of your practice would you
eliminate tomorrow if you could?
Not looking for the polished answer.
The real one is more useful.
Asking because I'm genuinely trying to
understand where the friction is in
running a coaching practice before I
make any assumptions about it.
