Our Origin Story
My Coaching Place began as a solution to a pressing need.
​​
Before cofounding My Coaching Place, Paul Emslie created The Growing Coaches, a platform that brought together emerging coaches with people seeking accessible coaching.
Whilst studying at Henley Business School, Paul recognised that the early stages of a coach’s career often present a paradox: you need experience to gain clients, but you need clients to gain experience. Paul also recognised that there are so many people who would benefit from 1-1 coaching, but who don’t usually get the opportunity due to the cost barrier.
The Growing Coaches tackled these challenges by matching coaches with individuals and organisations who might otherwise not have access to coaching.
Around the same time, Claudia Day had also spotted an opportunity to solve a problem faced by coaches – that the market was shifting online but there weren’t any digital platforms specifically designed to support coaches as they worked through their accreditation.
​
Claudia created a client management system called eHuddle to solve this problem and provide one convenient place for coaches to manage and track all their coaching activity. In 2021 eHuddle won the Henley Greenshoot Seed Finance Award.
After witnessing the incredible outcomes for both sides of the platform, Paul & Claudia saw an opportunity to expand this model, making it more structured, impactful, and supportive.
Today, My Coaching Place is the evolution of those original ideas, with added features and benefits to better serve our coaches, clients, and corporate partners.
