Through 1:1 coaching with Alicia Marie you can surface practical insights and sustainable strategies for success.
This structure allows your program goal to guide your dialogue with Alicia Marie, while retaining flexibility for you to get support with the inevitable things that crop up along the way.
Alicia Marie uses direct dialogue within a framework of inquiry, reflection, and candid observation, to support you with looking at what is happening internally and externally. This helps you see how you are interpreting situations, and what assumptions may be shaping your choices, which ultimately allows you to access new perspectives and take effective action.
Each coaching session is designed to sharpen independent thinking and expand leadership capacity, so that decisions are self-directed and your actions align with clearly defined goals, values, and responsibilities.

Clients often begin coaching to help address a very specific business need. They may be navigating hiring decisions, facing delegation challenges, attempting to push past financial plateaus, seeking stronger team alignment, or experiencing growth that is stretching their personal capacity. Through structured dialogue and consistent accountability, those issues are addressed directly.
Many clients also describe a meaningful shift in how they experience leadership itself. As their clarity increases reactivity tends to diminish, conversations become constructive, and their expectations are articulated with precision.
Because coaching unfolds over a series of conversations, its benefits are cumulative. Insights surfaced in one session are tested through action and revisited in subsequent sessions, allowing patterns that once operated unconsciously to become visible and open to change. As this process continues leaders typically develop a steady presence, clear strategic alignment, and consistency in decision-making; even when facing complexity and myriad demands.
Active coaching clients receive access to high-quality behavioral, cognitive, and values-based assessments at cost, along with training and consultation to ensure those tools are used correctly and responsibly.
Clients benefit from preferred pricing on internal facilitation, consulting engagements, and team training services, allowing strategic work to extend beyond one-to-one coaching.
Coaching clients are offered access to public courses at no charge, along with select webinars and archived content when appropriate.
We have dozens of business tools that we share with coaching clients as the need arises.
Coaching clients may engage our Staffing Consultant for support with administrative hiring, including job descriptions, job postings, interview guides, onboarding plans and training outlines. Work plan and fees would be customized based on a Discovery Session with the Staffing Consultant.
Each plan includes e-mail support and daily availability to answer questions or provide quick coaching, as time permits between sessions.
I have been coaching with Alicia since 2005 and I can’t imagine where I would be in my career without her. I have shared my story with countless professionals. Having a coach is having a business consultant that is solely there for your growth and development. I am able to have someone who doesn’t hesitate to have bold conversations with me about my growth and cut through any uncertainty I may have about my next steps to achieve my goals. With her coaching I have moved from a professional to a business owner and grown my company more than 10 fold.
I’ve had the privilege of coaching with Alicia since we first met in 2011, and have been participating in her courses and coaching program for over 15 years. During that time, she has been an invaluable coach and guide, helping me grow not only as a business owner and leader, but also as a manager and as a person.Her insight, compassion, and ability to bring clarity to complex situations have had a lasting impact on both my professional and personal growth. The tools and perspective I’ve gained through her coaching continue to shape the way I lead and make decisions every day.I’m deeply grateful for her guidance and wholeheartedly recommend Alicia to anyone seeking to elevate their leadership, strengthen their business, and grow with authenticity and purpose.
Working with Alicia Marie has been an absolute game changer for our business. She has been our partner coach, guiding Christian and me in aligning our vision and working together effectively to reach our goals.Alicia has helped us in so many areas , everything from building out clear organizational charts and planning for employees, to developing marketing strategies, and even strengthening our leadership abilities. Her ability to bring structure, clarity, and actionable plans to the table has been invaluable.What stands out most is how she truly understands where we want to take the business and helps us break it down into practical, achievable steps. We’ve grown tremendously under her coaching, and we’re so grateful for her expertise and support.I highly recommend Alicia to any business owner looking for a coach who not only provides guidance but also empowers you to become a stronger leader and build a thriving organization.
I have hired and worked with a number of coaches and consulting firms over the years, and Alicia is the one who has helped me the most…She does not come into my business to do the work for me. She coaches me to be a better leader and business owner. She does not allow me to stay in one place. She really does help me move forward by creating and hitting goals…
I have been a coaching client of Alicia’s for a year and a half now and can honestly say it’s been life-changing. I’m not one to say that lightly, but her combination of empathy and no-nonsense feedback has allowed me to see what’s been holding me back and make some major strides in my professional life. Personally, I’m also much more at peace; through coaching I’ve been able to embrace the concept that success doesn’t have to equal stress.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Alicia for months and appreciate her tailored approach to coaching. She works very hard to ensure the way we work together is based on my specific needs and goals. Because of this, I’ve been able to apply strategies and tactics to both my professional and personal life that have moved me closer to my goals… One of the most valuable aspects of Alicia’s coaching is her emphasis on sustainability vs. quick fixes (which rarely exist). She’s worked to help me develop a self-awareness that enables immediate positive outcomes, while building tools to excel in the long term.
I never wanted a coach, however a colleague kept recommending Alicia and I finally decided to jump in. I’m so glad I did. Alicia has changed how I operate, I’m more efficient, confident, self-aware, and overall, a better colleague, leader, partner, and friend than I ever thought I had the potential to be. Now I can’t imagine life without her.
Working with People Biz has been transformational! Alicia is fearless, delightfully relentless, and selflessly empowering. People Biz and their resources have been a powerful tool in our small firm’s arsenal, providing an edge in team building and personal growth… we continue to cultivate a strategic approach to develop the business I want, while continually working to evolve into the leader I need to be for my team, my family, and myself. It’s been incredible!
Leading Change was a life changing course for me… Alicia is a powerful leader that has a deep understanding of how the body, mind, and heart process events and emotions. In this course, she shares insights and guides participants to the conclusions that can be internalized and used forever to accomplish your goals in relationships and business successes. Since taking this course, I feel a sense of calm and peace within that allows me to more quickly process emotions and ultimately move forward faster.

It is both. The work supports business performance by developing the human capabilities that drive it: Courageous communication, self-awareness, skill development, and clarity in decision-making.
Executive Coaching differs as what an executive needs is different from most business owners. Due to often politically charged environments, executives appreciate an outside objective partner to explore their growth, situations and strategy.
Yes and no. Coaching is not advice-giving. It is a facilitated process that helps you see clearly, recognize patterns influencing outcomes, and choose practical next steps you can own and execute. However, Alicia will give advice as needed. She will also sometimes pause and provide a teaching moment.
Coaching is designed to reduce noise and improve your ability to prioritize, decide, and follow through. Many leaders use it specifically because time and pressure are already high.
That is common. Most people don’t. Coaching helps you name what matters, sort through priorities, and find the real crux of issues so you can move forward with intent.
Expect that it will take about 4 months to start noticing outcomes. However, many clients experience immediate relief from having a structured space to think and a partner who supports momentum. Deep benefits build as insights turn into consistent actions and new leadership habits.
1:1 Coaching sessions are conducted remotely via telephone. In instances where a conversation would be aided by sharing visuals on-screen, our office can establish a video conference call at your request. We also offer partner and team coaching, but these sessions occur on video rather than by phone.
1:1 Coaching sessions can either be 40 minutes or 55 minutes in duration. We recommend that new coaching clients do three sessions per month in the first year. After the initial year most clients move to every other week. We work with you to establish a complete coaching schedule at the beginning of your program so you build a cadence around your coaching. Partner and team coaching packages are often longer in duration, and happen less frequently.
People Biz offers three 1:1 coaching packages. These range from 12 sessions over about 4 months, to 26 sessions over approximately 9 months. The packages are structured around the number of specific goals and objectives you are pursuing.
Some clients opt for a single package to work with People Biz during a very specific season of growth or transition. However, most continue working with Alicia Marie for years because they value an ongoing space for reflection, recalibration, and steady improvement.
The aim is not necessarily a long commitment. The aim is meaningful progress and a coaching rhythm that fits your business and your life.
Partner and team coaching packages are set up differently than 1:1 packages. Please contact us for more information if you are interested in business partner and/or team coaching.
