Harper’s Circle
A business coaching group for solopreneurs and small business owners
Harper’s Circle: For Women Who Are Ready To Thrive
Harper’s Circle will help you find community and accountability as you move forward with your business in these uncertain times. Being a small business owner or solopreneur is never easy, but the last two years have brought challenges that most of us never imagined. It’s built on YOU and what you identify as being important to your business on any given day, week, or month. Every group dynamic evolves a little differently, and that’s because the group is fueled by the incredible women who come to each session ready to support each other, strategize, and talk honestly about the unique challenges they’re facing in their different businesses. The connections that happen in Harper’s Circle are the magic of it—it’s why I started this program, and why I love it so much.
Harper’s Circle is open to women who have service-based small businesses or are solopreneurs. If you’re not sure if that’s you, check out the FAQ for more info.
“Harper’s Circle has provided me with the confidence, tools, and support that has allowed me to take my side-hustle, in its infancy, and make it work as a full-time gig amidst a global pandemic.”
What You Get In Harper’s Circle:

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
We’ll kick off with an individual assessment (50 minutes) so I can understand you, your business, your goals and challenges, and what you want to accomplish during the group coaching program. Together we’ll create a roadmap to focus on during our three months together. If you’d like additional individual sessions, you can upgrade your package.
Total Sessions: 1
GUEST SPEAKER SESSIONS
Each month we’ll have a session including special guests discussing topics that are regularly addressed in our group. You’ll have the opportunity to ask the guest speaker specific questions related to your business and their expertise. These sessions are open to all of Harper’s clients and other Harper’s Circle members.

HOT SEAT
For the first 30 minutes of one group session per month, one member of the group will pitch us an idea. This can be a new service, offering, article concept, or podcast topic that you have been brainstorming. Share your idea so your group members can give feedback, ask questions for clarification, suggest ideas, and help you get it to a place where it’s closer to launch.
ACCOUNTABILITY
In order to have accountability during our three months together, you will be assigned a new buddy each month. You and your buddy will be responsible for discussing your monthly goals and checking in with each other to ensure you’re each staying on track.
ONGOING SUPPORT
We’ll have a WhatsApp group for everyone to interact in. This group will serve as a place to celebrate wins, ask time-sensitive questions, share news, and discuss challenges.

F.A.Q.
How do I pay for Harper’s Circle?
When you get accepted into the program, you will be prompted to provide your credit card/bank account information, and you will be charged upon signing up. You’ll then be charged the monthly fee on the 15th of the subsequent months of the group coaching program.
Do I have to currently own a business?
You need to at least be in the early stages of the business whether that means you have a business plan or started working on a mission statement or website. Maybe you’ve taken on a (paid or unpaid) client, but you’ve started in some way. If you haven’t started, but you’re interested in working with me, check out my one-on-one coaching opportunity package and contact me to learn more.
What if I’ve never worked with a coach or been in group coaching before?
AMAZING! This is perfect for you. I love working with people who are new to coaching and looking for a community to support them. Many of my clients haven’t worked with a coach prior to working with me!
I like the idea of this. How can I find out more about your coaching style?
You can read my testimonials from past clients to learn about the value that I brought to them and their businesses. You can also check out these blog posts to get a sense of how I work:
If I’ve been your client before, is it still helpful for me to join harper’s circle?
YES! Absolutely. There is so much power in being a part of a group, learning from each other, and working with me throughout different phases of your business. I’ve had clients hire me for six months, implement the work we discussed, and then return to work with me again several times.
Several of the people who signed up in January and May 2020’s circles were previous clients!
Why should I join this group over all the others that are out there?
I am crazy about my clients. I care so much about them and the amazing work they’re doing in the world. I love the work I do and for the first five years of my business, I was 100% dedicated to working exclusively with clients one-on-one. I’ve created this group so I can be more accessible to people who have businesses and need support, even if they aren’t currently in a position to work with me (or any coach) one-on-one. At the end of the day, I love guiding people in their businesses and seeing them thrive doing the work they love. Plus, I am a connector by nature, so I do everything in my power to build relationships for people. I have an incredible professional network that I rave constantly about--and I want these people to make an impact in your business, too!
What is your return policy?
I do not offer refunds. By committing to this group, you are committing to being a part of it for three months.
What happens if I miss a guest speaker session?
All guest speaker sessions are recorded, and shared with the group within 24 hours.
