This personal coaching program is for business owners, executives and freelance professionals who are ready to be effective leaders for social media in a business environment.
The Social Media Leader Coaching Program is for no more than 5 people at any one time and includes one monthly, 90 minute one-on-one online coaching session. The program is focused on supporting you in developing and implementing a progress strategy that is right for you, and with email communication in between those lengthier calls.
It is a 3 month program, with the opportunity to continue every 3 months for the following 3 months (paid monthly).
In every one-on-one session and in interactions via email between those sessions we will focus on where you are on your path and help you refine your action plans to move more effectively towards your goals.
A unique program
There are countless business and executive coaching programs available. And there is definitely no shortage of social media specialists to help you develop a social media strategy.
This program marries the two, business or executive coaching with advanced social media (or “social business”) strategy development, tailored to your needs.
Business worldwide is adopting social media. Some businesses are doing that more rapidly than others but there is no going back. The business environment has changed for ever and those who try to ignore the changes will become increasingly irrelevant.
Nor is social media just another form of marketing. In fact, the field of social media is morphing rapidly into a “whole of enterprise” social business environment. Business is social, in a way, with a speed and immediacy, it has never been before.
You as a business leader owe it to yourself to achieve the leverage available only to those who come to have a strategic grasp of social tools and the new social environment and the skills to put that understanding into practice.
Why I am doing this
I love coaching business owners and freelance professionals who are mature, motivated and keen to take their business or career to the next level. I also love de-mystifying social media and helping business owners and freelancers create effective strategies to leverage social media so that it serves their objectives.
This program simply combines in one package two of the things I love doing and where what I do helps people.
The program includes
- Deep dive process of achieving clarity about your goals, opportunities, obstacles and challenges
- Laser coaching to help you have crystal clear focus on your objectives
- Assessment of your current positioning in the social web and how social media can support your aims
- Guidance and support in developing your own strategies for your development
- Regular review of progress in moving towards your goals
- Accountability (we all need it – we all have too much to do and things suffer, right?)
- Time-saving resources to help you engage more rapidly and effectively via the social web (for example, guidance in setting up and using specific social media platforms in a targeted, time-efficient way)
For those who are ready to move forward
This program is only for people who are serious about stepping up and taking their business or career to the next level.
It requires a minimum 3 month commitment and a readiness to take action now. It won’t be for everyone. But if you like the sound of it, we can have a no-obligation chat to see if this program is likely to work for you.

What others say
It has been my pleasure to have Des as my business coach for the past 6 years. Des combines all the fundamentals of a good coach – expert knowledge; clear manner; guidance and suggestion rather than didactic instruction – with a leading edge knowledge of the way social media can improve my business. He is a trusted colleague and a key part of the continued success of my firm. Kris Gale, Managing Director, Michael Johnson & Associates
Des Walsh is, hands down, one of the frontrunners in the digital landscape – nationally and globally. To say ‘he knows his stuff’ is frankly an understatement. His complementary skill set – that of a coach and social media strategist – gives him the ability to communicate and work with a wide array of clientele, regardless of age, industry or sector. Edward Harran, Digital and Social Media Strategist
