The Solopreneur Insider Circle™ is a membership community for ICF-certified coaches, and coaches working toward certification, in years zero to three of building a coaching business. It includes the full Corporate to Coach® curriculum, self-paced, two live Build & Grow Sessions a month with Elissa Kelly, and a room of peers building alongside you, for $99 a month.
Join the Insider CircleCertification proves you can coach. It does not hand you a pipeline, a way to price your work, or your first paid client. That space between the credential and a built business is where most new coaches stall.
Most coaches work this out alone. That is the part nobody warns you about, and it is the part that slows everything down. A question that takes six weeks by yourself takes 20 minutes in a room of people doing the same work.
That is the exact gap the Insider Circle closes. You already have the coaching. This is the room for everything around it: the offer, the outreach, the pricing, the first yes.
You'll start where the guesswork is worst: who you serve, what you charge, and what you actually sell. From there the room helps you build the outreach and the follow-up, and gives you somewhere to take the questions that stall you for a week when you're working alone. By the end you have a priced offer, a written plan, and a group of coaches who know exactly what you're building.
The Corporate to Coach® curriculum is built into your membership as a self-paced onboarding path. You can walk it, sequenced step by step, at whatever pace real life allows. So if you wanted the Corporate to Coach® material but the fixed cohort dates never worked, this is your way in. And if the cohort investment was more than you were ready for, you get the same curriculum with a community around it for $99 a month.
One price. Here is what it covers.
The full course, sequenced as your onboarding path. Start the day you join.
First and third Tuesdays, 11 a.m. PT, 90 minutes. Your dedicated time to work on the business instead of in it.
Every session closes with commitments, out loud, to the room. The next session opens by checking them.
Four to six times a year, on the subjects members are actually stuck on. Past guests have covered branding, speaking, executive coaching engagements and AI.
Peer coaching runs in every member-led session. Coach someone, get coached, or observe.
17 templates and tools for the parts you should not build from scratch.
Plus breakout rooms for small-group work, discounted 1:1 WalkNTalk sessions with Elissa, and early access to new launches.
ICF Engage, local chapters and the communities of practice are built around the profession: meeting other coaches, sharing practice, keeping up with standards. Engage comes with an ICF membership. The Insider Circle doesn't require one: you need to be certified or working toward it.
The Insider Circle is built around the business. Each session works on the offer, the price, the pipeline or the first client, and each one closes with commitments the room checks at the next session. It's the room for what certification doesn't cover. Plus you get digital access to Corporate to Coach®
Two sessions, two different jobs.
One named subject, chosen from what is actually happening in the market and in members' businesses. Where the next client comes from. What corporate will still buy this quarter. What to send when a prospect goes quiet. Four to six times a year, a guest expert takes this slot for a Fireside Chat.
You bring the thing you are stuck on and the room works it. Peer coaching runs here every time. It closes with commitments for the next two weeks.
Topics are published ahead so you always know what is coming before you decide whether to move something for it.
The two Tuesdays are the anchor. The rest of it runs on WhatsApp.
Members have a WhatsApp channel for the questions that come up on a Wednesday. What are you using to track your pipeline. Has anyone written a statement of work for this. Does this paragraph sound like me. The kind of question that stalls you for a week when you are working alone and takes 10 minutes when you are not.
There is a standing open in every member-led session too. Post what you need from the room, however small, and the room answers it.
"I didn't realize how much I missed having people who just get it until I found this group. The Insider Circle is my phone a friend."
Carrie, PCC Coach
I spent two decades in corporate risk management and left as Chief Product Officer of a $4 billion insurance company. Then I built a coaching practice to six figures in my first year, and I paid close attention to what actually made that possible.
The Insider Circle is the room I wish I had when I started. It is a launchpad, not a dependency. When you have your footing and a full calendar, I will be glad to watch you graduate.
Elissa Kelly, PCC | Founder, Corporate to Coach®
"I love the multiple modalities we're using during these sessions. Keeps it interesting and engaging."
Michelle, ACC Coach
"I came in knowing what I needed to do. What I didn't expect was a group that actually holds me to it, and genuinely celebrates when I follow through. The accountability here is different. It's human."
Mary Ann, Coach in Training
"I am really impressed by the caliber of your speakers and your ability to know exactly what I need, even before I know what I need."
Rahel, ACC Team Coach
“This group has been such a gift. The guest speakers have been amazing and generous with their knowledge, and the other members of the circle are supportive and have great insights to share.”

The Insider Circle is for coaches in years zero to three of building a business, ICF-certified or in process. Most come from corporate or another large organization.
No. The full Corporate to Coach® curriculum is included in your membership, so you get the material whether or not you have taken the cohort.
Included. The full Corporate to Coach® curriculum is built into your membership as a self-paced onboarding path, at no extra cost.
$99 a month, month-to-month, cancel anytime. Or pay annually at $990 a year and get two months free.
First and third Tuesdays, 11 a.m. PT, 90 minutes each.
As long as it is useful. Most members stay through building their offer, their pricing, and their first steady clients, then decide from there.
The Insider Circle isn't a cohort. You work through the curriculum on your own, with no cohort peer group. You get the same Corporate to Coach® curriculum self-paced, plus an ongoing community and two Build & Grow Sessions a month with Elissa Kelly, for $99 a month. The cohort is a six-week live program on fixed dates, where Elissa teaches the curriculum live to a set peer group, and it carries 25 ICF CCEs. If you want both, the cohort includes two months of membership.
ICF Engage and ICF chapters are built around the profession: meeting other coaches, sharing practice, keeping up with standards. Engage comes with an ICF membership. The Insider Circle doesn't require one, only that you're certified or working toward it. The Insider Circle is built around the business: your offer, your pricing, your pipeline and your first paying clients. Use both. They answer different questions.
Business coaching. The focus is building your coaching practice, the offer, the pricing, the clients, not a peer group for your own coaching craft.
Start today, and start with the course. Pay monthly, or take the annual plan and get two months free.
