Description

Your chance to get real answers to the questions coaches actually wrestle with.

Every November, too many coaches hit pause on their business. They tell themselves they’ll pick things back up in January. That’s a mistake. Momentum doesn’t wait for New Year’s resolutions—momentum is created now.

That’s why our final in-person ICF Los Angeles Chapter event of 2025 is designed to help you finish the year strong and step into 2026 ready to thrive.

Instead of a single speaker, you’re the star of the evening. We’re hosting an Ask It Basket session where you can anonymously submit your most pressing questions—about anything in the coaching world. Then, experienced coaches will get up and share their perspective, story, or strategy in three minutes or less.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your courage. Bring the real questions you’ve been holding onto.

Topics will range based on what’s asked, but expect to hear insights on:
✅ How to create clients consistently (and stop the feast-or-famine cycle).
✅ Writing, publishing, and promoting a book.
✅ What every coach needs to know about AI right now.
✅ Pricing your packages and raising your rates with confidence.
✅ Marketing strategies that actually work (without burning out).
✅ Navigating tricky client situations.
✅ Leveraging your time with groups, programs, or scalable offers.

This is your chance to learn from the collective wisdom of the room—practical, candid answers from coaches who’ve been there. You’ll walk away with new ideas, fresh strategies, and the energy to keep building when most coaches are slowing down.

Don’t let your business coast into December. End the year with clarity, confidence, and a sense of community.

Key Takeaways:

1. Unlock real-world solutions to pressing coaching challenges: Gain practical, candid insights from experienced coaches on the questions that matter most—whether it’s client creation, pricing, marketing, or managing tricky situations.
2. Discover strategies to build momentum year-round: Learn how to avoid the common “pause until January” trap by taking action now, setting yourself up for a strong close to 2025 and an intentional start to 2026.
3. Strengthen business and growth skills: Explore strategies around consistent client generation, pricing with confidence, publishing and promoting content, and leveraging scalable offers like group programs.
4. Stay future-ready in a changing coaching landscape: Walk away with current perspectives on emerging tools (like AI) and evolving market strategies that can expand your impact without burnout.
5. Experience the power of collective wisdom and community: Tap into diverse perspectives, connect with peers, and leave with renewed clarity, confidence, and energy to grow your coaching practice.
