What is the Member Spotlight?

The CEI Member Spotlight is a relaxed, peer-powered conversation series highlighting coaching entrepreneurs and the stories behind their work. Each Spotlight features a coach sharing what the first five years of building their practice are/were really like – the pivots, surprises, lessons, and moments of meaning along the way.

We’ll explore how coaches find their footing and voice, what shifts as their practice evolves, and how they shape impact in an ever-changing world.

What to expect:

  • A warm, lunchtime conversation between peers
  • Real stories of courage, learning, and growth
  • Reflections on entrepreneurship, visibility, and purpose
  • Time for gentle audience Q&A and shared insights

Come as you are – listen in and hear how others are shaping their coaching paths.

Who is this for?

  • Coaches in their first five years of practice
  • Coaches navigating transition or reimagining their business
  • Members curious about purpose, growth, and impact
  • Anyone who enjoys hearing authentic, purpose-driven stories from peers

Why join?

  • Hear how others are shaping coaching in today’s evolving landscape
  • Reflect on your own path – your roots, pivots, and direction ahead
  • Connect with peers who value integrity, curiosity, and contribution

Together, we’re mapping the landscape of coaching entrepreneurship and impact – one story at a time.
