Leland for Coaches

Free iPhone app for approved Leland coaches to manage their coaching business on the go: respond to client messages, accept intro calls and orders, and view basic client info.

Suitorly — strengths-based CV and role matching

An AI platform for professionals to articulate their value, build targeted CVs, and match to roles aligned with their strengths rather than keyword-matching job descriptions.

Why I recommend it: Free to explore, with paid coaching behind it — use the strengths framing to sharpen how you describe yourself, then apply it wherever you want.

The 30-Minute-a-Day LinkedIn System

A short playbook on landing clients from LinkedIn in 30 minutes a day: post five times a week, link every post to a free "Trust Bridge" resource so warm leads identify themselves, then spend the half hour only on profile views, likes and comments from the day before.

Why I recommend it: This is the clearest short explanation I have seen of why chasing cold outreach wastes your time. The "Trust Bridge" idea works for job seekers too: give people a reason to raise their hand instead of hunting them down.

Stan Store

All-in-one link-in-bio storefront for selling digital products, coaching sessions, and courses without building a website.

Why I recommend it: If you are selling your first digital product or coaching slot, this gets you a checkout page in an afternoon instead of a build project. Start free, upgrade only when sales justify it.

The Super Coach Community

Community for coaches building and growing a coaching practice, with peer support and shared resources.

Why I recommend it: If you are building a coaching practice, the lonely part is pricing and positioning. This is a place to ask.

Dress for Success Worldwide

Global nonprofit that has served over 1.5 million women with workplace attire, coaching, and a continuing network of support to advance economic mobility.

Why I recommend it: The clothes are the entry point; the ongoing coaching and peer network are where the real value lives. Use this if you or someone you coach is re-entering the workforce.

How to Identify the Key Factor Holding Your Career Coaching Business Back

Daniel Botero walks through finding the single constraint limiting growth in a coaching or service business — offer, audience, lead flow, or delivery — instead of working harder across all of them at once.

Why I recommend it: Useful even if you are not a coach. The exercise is the point: name the one bottleneck, fix it, then re-measure. Most solo businesses stall because effort is spread evenly across problems of very unequal size.
