[00:00:00] Welcome, welcome to the Heads Together podcast. I'm your host, Gill Moakes,, and I'm, very happy to have you with me this week. This episode is going to be much more promotional of something I have coming up than usual, but it's because I have so much to tell you about it. I decided that instead of like sticking a little call to action onto the end of another episode, I want this episode to be all about me introducing to you The Collective, which is my up and coming membership exclusively for.
outstandingly good coaches who want to build a phenomenal business
Hopefully by the end of this episode you could be as bloody excited as I am!
Welcome, [00:01:00] welcome to the Heads Together podcast. I'm Gill Moakes, and I am obsessed with cutting through the noise when it comes to growing your business. Each week via intimate coaching conversations and inspirational stories. I share what it really takes to get the results you want in a way that feels right to you.
I am all about attracting higher ticket opportunities, building authentic relationships, and creating the abundant, full fat version of your dream business. I mean, how many of us have beavered away creating a light version of what we really want? The thing is, I honestly believe when you are outstanding at what you do, there is no limit to what you can achieve.
So are you ready to put our heads together and make it happen? Let's go.
I am [00:02:00] officially pulling back the curtain today for you on the collective. This is my membership that's designed by me specifically for coaches who want a clear roadmap to grow their business. They don't want the noise, the fluff, the overwhelm, all of the stuff that's out there. And honestly that's stuff that's out there is really why I've created this membership, because I actually had this thought.
It was a thought I had in the middle of the night, which was what if there really was a one stop shop when it comes to growing your coaching practice? You know, for those of you who follow me for a while, you know about the Coaching Business Academy, which is absolutely my flagship offer.
I'm so proud of the Academy. I'm so proud of the results that my students get when they go through the Academy. But the Academy is an [00:03:00] intensive six month program where you are getting weekly coaching to implement everything I teach you. And the thought I had was what if there was a membership that was really this one stop shop for.
The roadmap, the do this thing next strategy. A community of supportive peers that are gonna really cheerlead you. What if it was also a home to all of the different masterclasses for the ancillary skills that it takes to grow a business? Because we all know that growing a business is about more than being a great coach.
I don't teach you how to be a great coach. I don't teach you that in the academy. I don't teach that to my private clients. I only work with great coaches. But if you are a great coach and you wanna know how to build a really profitable coaching business, then I'm your [00:04:00] woman. And I wanted to bring all of this together.
A membership that was accessible for coaches, no matter where they're on their journey. You might still be in your nine to five job and you are really kind of at that very coach curious, early stage of thinking. I think this is where I wanna go with my career,
this membership is for you. You might be an established coach, but you're not seeing your revenue matching your reputation yet. You know, you get great results with your clients, but your business isn't growing. You're not getting enough of those clients through the door. This membership is for you.
So the reason I created this membership, it's because it's chaos out there. We're all. Completely drowning in the information. There are courses, challenges, summits, freebies.
They're all flying at us [00:05:00] every direction. Everyone shouting over each other, trying to tell you the right way to build your business. And honestly, that is exhausting. I see this in my clients all the time. I see this in the My Academy students who are so relieved to have found a trusted source to learn from, right?
And so I wanted to create this one trusted space, this calm, clear, really focused home for coaches who wanna grow an actual, real, sustainable, fulfilling business. I wanted it to be a place where you don't have to keep second guessing every move in your business. I wanted it to be a place that actually gives you the answers.
Should I do this or should I do this? Okay, I'll go to the collective. I can find out. I don't want you to keep wasting hours [00:06:00] trying to patch together a strategy from little pieces.
When you listen this, you may be able to sign up for. The wait list, the membership may be open, maybe it's beyond the 29th of May when you listening to this and you be able join now, but even if it's just the available for you now, what is inside? Because this isn't actually just a membership.
I don't see it as a membership. I see it as your coaching business hq. I talk all the time about, you know, Moakes HQ hq when I'm talking about my own business, which when I say it out loud now actually makes me slightly cringe, but I don't care. I'm going with it
, what is inside the collective? So first up is the roadmap. Now the roadmap is a step by [00:07:00] step pathway that walks you through exactly what to focus on, in what order. So from refining your niche to creating your offers, your and sales, everything laid out in the roadmap. Don't need to wonder what you're supposed to be doing.
If you follow the roadmap lesson by lesson, module by module, that is your pathway to a sustainable business.
It's bite-sized trainings. These are not long videos to watch. These are bite-sized trainings, but they're very sequential. Each one builds on the previous one, and it gives you everything you need to build the foundation of a successful coaching business. It is effectively a coaching business school, but without all jargon this is for my DIYers out there. Not everyone is ready to join the academy and have that [00:08:00] immersive six months of, you know, very intimate group coaching to take you through this for some people. Absolutely. They're ready for that now. And you know, we open up the academy four times a year for you to go through in.
You can do this at any time. You can join the membership and begin this journey. Now, you might find at some point that you think, you know what? Okay, I've got the information, but now I want that group support to implement all of this. And maybe you'll, maybe you won't, but this roadmap part. Of the membership is standalone value.
Oh, the resources. My goodness, I hadn't realized how many resources I had at my fingertips already to share with you. Inside the collective, we're talking templates, workbooks, spreadsheets, [00:09:00] scripts, planners, just, oh my goodness. Everything that you need to support you in this business building journey. And these aren't fluffy downloads.
Honestly, a lot of these are the tools I use in my own business and with my private clients. They're all there to save you time and help you move faster on this journey of building your business. So that's the resources. It's absolute, you know, you can just browse through, take what you need, leave the rest.
But there is so much gold in there in terms of the things you need. Like I say, a lot of them are tools I use myself, they're tools I've created for myself in my own business and still use, and therefore no work. I'm sharing all of that. Really, the playbook to my own business is really inside the collective, to be quite honest with you.
In fact, in the resources, I do actually share [00:10:00] my entire tech stack, so I share every single tool I use like Riverside that I'm using right now to record this podcast. Kajabi, the platform that the membership is hosted in Asana, my project management tool, I share everything that I use. I'm not saying that those are all of the best.
I'm saying that they're what I know and love and have tested for a long time and don't hesitate to recommend. Next up is the master classes. Oh, okay. I want you to think Coachflix. I'm sure that's been done elsewhere. I'm sure I haven't just patented that name. I have no doubt other people have come up with that.
But honestly, if you are a coach, this collection of master classes that's gonna be ever growing, of course. I mean, I already have quite a few that. Are already inside the collective, but we'll be adding to it every month with brand new class drops, [00:11:00] either from me or from a guest expert. And these are masterclasses on everything from strategy to mindset to marketing, messaging, pr, sales, you name it.
It's absolutely binge-worthy. I want this to be a go-to hub where if you're finding like you wanna do more with LinkedIn, there's a masterclass for using LinkedIn for coaches. I'm about to host a masterclass on email list building for coaches That masterclass will sit inside the collective.
You know, we've had lots of masterclass in the past.
So lots of great topics and you can just binge them or just use it to go to and search for when you have a project that you're working on, you want that kind of support, uh, for a specific project. Next up is the sanctuary. That's the next part of the [00:12:00] collective and the.
Is more than just the strategy and the do this thing next. It's about more than the marketing and the sales. It's about who you're, and the sanctuary is where we do the inner work. It's the mindset shifts. It's the confidence building, it's the energy work, the intuition work. It's becoming soul aligned.
And the reason that came to my mind is I've invited four very special resident experts to really build out the sanctuary with their knowledge and expertise because this is not where I excel. This is where I know. I have colleagues who absolutely do, and these incredible women have agreed to be resident experts inside the collective [00:13:00] and form the sanctuary, which is where you're just gonna find so much powerful content in here.
Meditation work, breath work. This is something that a lot of memberships really skip. I was really adamant that we give space for this work because it's so important. The work that I've done with Deborah Driscoll is incredible around intuition. Jennifer Evans soul alignment in your life. She brings so much to the table.
So.
Anand is an emotional wellbeing coach. So important. She offers incredible meditations and really deep work. These are all women who have been [00:14:00] guests on this podcast in the past, and I'll link to their episodes in the show notes of this one. And I'm so happy that they have all agreed that they would love to be part of the collective and to share this beautiful inner work inside the sanctuary.
And finally really the beating heart of the collective, which is the community. And this is a space that will be filled with these ambitious, big-hearted coaches who get it right. I don't really care. The size of this membership. What I really care about is that the women inside the membership are aligned.
Women who are doing the work, women who are gonna cheer each other on are gonna. Ask questions, they're gonna share their wins, they're gonna lift each other up. I really want this to be a space of like-minded people and, and I read that a lot, but I want it to be embodied [00:15:00] by this membership. And in the community there's gonna be space to chat.
It's where we will have all of our events. So. Every month there'll be a q and a session with me open to members, so you'll absolutely be able to jump on Zoom and it'll be a kind of first come first served in terms of raising your hand to ask your questions. We will have coworking sessions, all of the master classes, and any of the classes that we do, the sanctuary, all those are as inside.
So if you are listening to this and you're thinking. I love the sound of this, Gill and I absolutely have been looking for that one stop shop, that one place where I can go to get trusted, reliable information around what it actually takes to grow a coaching practice. Something that I [00:16:00] know a lot of you are feeling the.
Pressure on at the moment in terms of, you know, I'm doing all the things, but I'm not seeing the growth. I'm not seeing the clients coming along, right? That is what the collective is for. That is that one place. You don't need another course. You don't need another download to grow your business. You need a home.
So I would love to welcome you inside, and like I say, I'm gonna put a note in the show notes with the link to join the waiting list for the collective founding. Members are gonna get in at a price which won't be repeated. So, of course I always do that for anything I do. The people who put their trust in me first, without getting to see the evidence, you're always gonna get in at the best price, right?
That's only fair. [00:17:00] So I would love you to go to the show notes, explore the. Details around the Collective find out more. What is inside this membership, right? I can only go so far as to get that across to you in a podcast, but what I can do in an open house is I can invite you in and can screen share, and I can walk you around and show you what's inside the membership.
So. I think you'll really enjoy it if you are thinking, oh yeah, this sounds good. I really wanna know more about it. I'll pop the link to sign up to the virtual open house in the show notes as well. So there's gonna be lots of resources in the show notes for this episode. Make sure you do go there and have a look.
Well I hope this has got you somewhat excited. Like I say, if you're a coach who regularly listens to the podcast and uses the [00:18:00] teaching that I do inside this podcast to learn how to grow your coaching practice, and I know a lot of you do do that.
I had someone join the academy in the last cohort who said to me, you know, I've been using podcast. I, I listen to each episode and, and make my notes and then go and do that. I just love that. How brilliant is that? You know, that makes recording this podcast so worthwhile. I just love it. But yeah, if this sounds like something you wanna do, head to the show notes, sign up to the wait list.
Okay. Alright, well. I hope you've enjoyed hearing about the collective. I've enjoyed talking about it. It's kind of like my baby at the moment, and I'm just enjoying bringing it to life so much. It's not fully built out yet. As always, I'm telling you about it before it's actually ready for you to jump inside.
But we'll be launching on the 29th of May, [00:19:00] so that is our countdown. The countdown is on. Great to be with you here again this week. Until next week. Bye for now.
I hope you enjoyed this episode and that getting our heads together this week has filled your mind with what's possible. If you love the show, would you do me a massive favor? Please? Would you leave a five star rating on Apple Podcasts? It would really help you Put more heads together, reach more ears, and expand more minds.
Until next week, bye for now.
