Coaching Genie

Pros: Coaching Genie provides an easy to use platform for coaches and their clients to document their goals and progress.

Cons: I have nothing negative to say about Coaching Genie.

Pros: It's easy to set-up, which is good for the non-tech savvy users

Cons: Probably the course structuring like being able to add lessons under each module. But it has a work around so it hasn't been a problem.

Pros: Easy Elegant Economical Support is fabulous

Cons: I had a slight issue with the automatic email reminders going out at times that were problematic for my community, [sensitive content hidden] helped me to work it out

Pros: The only way that a good coach or advisor can properly scale, grow, and manage their time/energy/life is to use Coaching Genie. If you've got 5+ clients and you're not using Coaching Genie, you're asking for trouble and burnout soon.

Cons: Coaching Genie is great. It does the job you need to get done. But it looks and feels a bit dated. It could use a facelift in 2024.

Pros: Simplicity of functionality and very fast and friendly support

Cons: I am absolutely satisfied with this application

Pros: I currently use it mostly for my 1:1 clients to have a place for all their call recordings. I love that it's all in one place. It's quick to create a new call recording and send it out. I can also upload additional worksheets there. For group coaching, I love the tracking and accountability features as well as being able to comment on their "homework" answers. They can comment on each others journal entries as well but also have the ability to turn that feature off and leave it private. Lots of ways to customize client's and group's experiences and features.

Cons: I wouldn't use it if group member interaction was the most important in a group course. I'd probably use a social media platform for that part.

Pros: I've been using coaching genie from the start, and been ringside watching it develop and grow. It's a full-platform coaching tool for courses, coaching, and mentoring. It's very easy to use, self-explanatory, and has everything you need to serve clients.

Cons: I can't think of anything at the moment.

Pros: The ease of use and custom delivery of Coaching Genie are my two favorite features of Coaching Genie. You, or your team, can have your coaching and training materials added to Coaching Genie in minutes and ready to deliver to your clients with ease with no outside experience needed. I also love that you can custom deliver a course to an individual client. If you have one client who is working through a program quickly and wants the next modules, you can easily give them access. In other programs you can't do this but with Coaching Genie it is as simple as a click of a button! I am also very impressed by the customer support and development team. You get a response back from them quickly and they are always rolling out new features based on customer feedback. Plus they have an extensive knowledge base to support you as well.

Cons: I have been working with it for a couple years now and I haven't found anything yet!

Pros: Tracking Client Progress and Results leading to higher percentages of client success

Cons: No complaints - the platform provided me with exactly what I needed as a group coaching program facilitator

Pros: I love how easily I can go from 1:1 to group coaching. That way I'm prepared to make the shift when I'm ready. Plus, I'll get to stay on a platform that I already know and love. (No vertical learning curve.)

Cons: Coaching Genie doesn't have a webpage builder or CRM and it does not integrate with Zapier. It's not necessarily a huge issue for me because I have my own systems that I like. That said, I wanted to mention it.

Pros: Everything is in one place to make it easy to manage and serve clients.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind - it's a great solution for coaches.

Pros: everything, I found a gem in the coaching bussiness to manage everything, thanks [sensitive content hidden]

Cons: I love it, I do not know how to do my work with out this platform

Pros: I like to work very closely with my clients, and like to connect with them between the coaching calls. Coaching Genie lets me see what my clients are working on and what they need help with. I can even read their client journals, and can give them feedback right in their journals which adds even more value and connection.

Cons: There are limits on how many clients you can have at a time, without having to uplevel to a higher price point. However, it's great that you can archive past clients which opens things up to bring on new clients without having to go up a level.

Pros: I love that we can use modules across multiple groups without having to duplicate them. It makes my life in setting up the groups so much more manageable than other programs. It's very straightforward to implement, and clients can easily navigate the modules to find what they need in no time.

Cons: For our purposes, I haven't found any cons. We don't use all of the features, but what we need is all there.

Pros: The best part of Coaching Genie is how easy it is to set up, and more importantly - how easy it is for clients to use which saves a lot of time on technical issues and customer support. I like that I can get as granular as I want when creating content and materials, and then bring them together into robust programs.

Cons: I haven't found any significant cons, and when I have trouble, customer support is there to help.

Pros: I love Coaching Genie. I have been a user since it came out and it just keeps improving over time. When I have a client who needs support on a specific topic, I love to create a module for my client and then make it available to other clients on an individual basis as needed. Also, I love how simple it is to use and how adaptable it is. I use it mostly for individual clients and I find it is the best way to keep my materials and their homework organized. I recommend it without hesitation (and do so to others on a regular basis)!

Cons: The interface is very simple - some platforms that are aimed at online teaching with coaching as a side feature may be a bit more visually attractive. Still, I have used both types of platforms and for coaching purposes, Coaching Genie's functionalities outperform pretty design.

Pros: What I especially like about Coaching Genie is how it focuses on personal interaction. It has a great feature that lets my clients check in weekly, which keeps our communication strong and supportive. The platform also has a journal feature for clients to record their progress and thoughts, which really helps in keeping them engaged. I'm thrilled with Coaching Genie's excellent support when I’ve had a question or concern, which has significantly contributed to my positive experience. What made Coaching Genie stand out to me was its balance of being affordable while still offering great features. It was crucial for me to have an easy-to-use platform that could handle all aspects of my coaching program in one place.

Cons: I really don't have anything I didn't like about Coaching Genie.

Pros: I like that you can create or add coaching modules and keep them all in one place. Plus the ability to mix and match programs based on my clilents' coaching needs. It enables you to put together several modules and publish each as needed.

Cons: I had a little trouble setting up the link to Calendly. But using Calendly or another calendar option makes the whole scheduling issue more flexible.

Pros: The accountability feature where group members can check in on a weekly basis and the coach can monitor participation and progress. The journal feature allows for "Free form" communication (although it can be structured too) and uploading of files. The facility for group members (and coaches/facilitators) to comment on other group members' progress, questions, etc. It is possible to share information with the group (e.g. modules, training courses, replays, etc.) but also to customize this for individuals with specific modules. I have also been able to share recordings of individual discussions with the individuals only through the modules feature.

Cons: I would have preferred a daily check-in option; the system allows for weekly check-in. I would like to be able to comment on the "check-in" page for group members, even if there is no check-in, as a form of individual motivation and keeping members accountable. (The system provides has a "check-in reminder email" feature available.)

Pros: There are many training platforms out there, but they have thousands of features most of which I'll never use. Coaching Genie feels just right, very easy to get started, clear structure for me to lay out my training materials and share them with clients. It's also easy for my clients to use - they don't have time to figure out new tech, so I was happy to see that everything is pretty much self-explanatory. One of my favorite features is the Activity page. I can see exactly what my clients are working on, what they need help with, and who is not participating/engaging. This really helps me support my clients as needed, and always be "in the know" - even between the coaching calls.

Cons: At the moment, they don't integrate with PayPal, and that's how I take payments. I made a request, so hopefully that'll be added in the future.

Pros: The support is amazing: super responsive, always professional, always extremely helpful and work to solve whatever the problem is as quickly as possible. Lots of "preventive maintenance" training, too! Also, the team keeps adding features that I believe are really helpful to students, and also attractive when students consider my services.

Cons: For my brain, it's a little difficult to keep track of my modules. I understand why it's set up the way it is and know that for some brains it's perfectly reasonable.

Pros: There are so many features that I like about Coaching Genie, but it's the simplicity that is the most important for me. Not everyone is tech-savvy and I can just imagine how stressful it would be for a lot of coaches to piece things together. I love how simple it is that I can set up a group in about 10 minutes.

Cons: As of now, it would be the inability to change the frequency of the check-ins since some of our programs don't need weekly check-ins.
