What our students are saying about the program

”Participating in this program to support the development and launch of my coaching focused business, has saved me time, energy, and caused me to start working with clients sooner than anticipated. The lived experience Susan Merli brings to the content as well as her masterful facilitation skills made the program highly relevant and engaging, leading to accelerated results. I will continue to recommend the course to others.”

— Emma Bloch-Hansen

“This course was just what I needed. I have been more confident in the coaching lane than the business lane and this course helped bridge that gap. It is a great blend of instruction, encouragement, and accountability. I wholeheartedly recommend this course and Instructor Susan Merli, she delivered personal value that went well beyond the scope of this program and I am extremely grateful.”

— Kerry O'Neill

“As a newly credentialed coach (ACC and recent Fast Track COTBx graduate), this course is an essential part of taking the next step to starting a coaching business. I am profoundly grateful for being part of the Beta program. This course fills the knowledge gaps and it provides a wealth of information and resources to move forward as a professional coach.”

— Camille Troup, Ph.D., ACC

“The Business Builder Program is invaluable! The takeaways are vast and the resources offered are extremely helpful, not only for yourself, but for your future clients. I cannot recommend enough. The program truly covers everything you want to know to start your business AND things you did not even know you needed. The curriculum is well thought out and generously comprehensive. The facilitator was extremely knowledgeable and nurturing. I walked away with an "I got this!" attitude and with the tools to support me on this journey.”

— Breana Dudgeon
