Alisa the professional

Hi, I’m Alisa and I help coaches build financially viable coaching businesses.

I started my own business, The Savvy Corner, in 2017 and since then I have been sharing my financial, business and coaching knowledge with other fellow coaches. I do that on several platforms:

My YouTube channel

This is where I share video trainings on what it means to start and run a coaching business, from finding your niche, to developing your coaching offer, packaging it up, pricing and selling it, to the financial aspect of coaching, the mistakes to avoid and the mindset of being a business owner.

Check it out here to get a taste for what I teach on the channel.

My Medium publication

I started my own publication, Coaching for a Living, after I could not find one that was dedicated to coaches.

In addition to articles that tackle the business of coaching, I have an advice column, Dear Coach, where I answer questions I receive from coaches in letter format.

My LinkedIn profile

If you want to communicate with me directly, LinkedIn is the place where I’m likely to respond the quickest. I use the platform every day and I’d love for you to connect with me there.

Various media outlets and publications

Including Harvard Business Review, Coaching Perspectives, Thrive Global, The Financial Diet and others.

Here’s an article I published inside The Association for Coaching (AC)’s quarterly magazine to help coaches take stock of their businesses and strategize.



I talk more about what I do and how I can help coaches, coaching training providers and other companies in this post.

Alisa the person

In my spare time I like to eat good food, drink good wine/cocktails, travel and take motorbike trips to Europe and the UK.



More to come

I am working on a couple of projects like writing my first book, creating courses and other digital products and I will update this post as I release them.

In the meantime, you can sign up to my newsletter if you want to be kept in the loop with what I’m up to and receive business and money related tips for coaches straight to your inbox.
