Ask Me Anything About Running a Coaching Business

Every week, I get messages from people who want to ask me questions about:

→ Choosing a coach training program
→ Switching careers to become a health coach
→ Sitting for the NBHWC Board Exam
→ Working as a coaching professional
→ Building a private practice
→ Getting a job as a coach
→ The coaching industry in general

The thing they all have in common is that they want to talk to a real person with experience in the industry who can answer their question honestly and help them get the information they need.

I absolutely love chatting with new coaches, but I'm not able to accommodate having free 1:1 conversations with the volume of coaching, consulting, and teaching work in my business.

So I've started hosting free small group Ask Me Anything events for people who want to talk to a real person about all things coaching! All you need to do is jot down your questions and I'll answer them during our time together.

This is a live Google Meet event capped at 10 participants to keep the space small and the vibe conversational. I don't record these sessions and I ask that you RSVP only if you can make it live since spots are limited. You can also join the waitlist to be notified of future dates!

I also offer a paid 1:1 Ask Me Anything option for people who prefer to have these conversations 1:1.

Hi, I'm Sonja!

I'm a board certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC), a financial social work coach, a learning and development professional, and a behavior change expert with 13 years of experience helping people navigate transitions and change their lives through the power of coaching.

I started growing my coaching business in 2011 and ran it part time on the side of my corporate coaching and training career until I took it full-time in 2024. In the meantime, I earned over 5,000 hours of coaching experience, developed the NBHWC-approved training program at a leading corporate health and wellness company, was the lead faculty member for a coach training program for 3 years, trained over 200 new health coaches, helped over 100 students pass the NBHWC Board Exam, and managed continuing education for a team of 300 coaching professionals.

I'm a behavior change nerd who's passionate about leveling up the professional credibility of the coaching industry, providing high quality coaching to my clients, and helping out coaching professionals along the way.
