Meet the new IMAGE Business Club coaches: who will you choose?

Hands up who needs more clarity, support and accountability in their life?

Research shows that coaching significantly enhances the chances of achieving personal and professional goals. So, of course, Business Club members receive complimentary access to their very own 1:1 coaching session, with one of our panel of expert coaches – and we have added more new coaches for 2026 to ensure we are maximising the help we can offer our members. Each coach brings their own area of specialisation, in addition to our Group Coaching Circle which allows true peer-to-peer learning over the course of five months.

With their wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for seeing others succeed, these coaches play a pivotal role in shaping the success stories of the IMAGE Business Club members. Their collective expertise empowers members to overcome obstacles, unlock their potential, and achieve remarkable success. Whether it’s self-belief, growth strategy, social media, general marketing, leadership development, change and transformation, pitching and presenting or AI literacy, the Business Club coaches provide invaluable guidance and 1:1 support.

So, whether you are going through a career transition; taking a leap of faith into something new; grappling with taking your business to the next level; returning from maternity leave; dealing with a toxic boss; want to feel more empowered about your financial future; trying to balance career and motherhood; eager to learn more about social media; or navigating cancer, our professional coaches are here to help you map out what you need and how to achieve it.

Each of our coaches has a specialist area, so you can decide who would be the best fit for you and our coaches can help you navigate the issues that are most important for you, whether that is in your 1:1 session or in a supportive group setting.

Join the Business Club to book your 1:1 or group session now.
