Why and how join Authority Club to fill your practice in 2026

Welcome, to Ellen from The Ask. A newsletter to help you build Authority and grow your business in a world where everyone’s an entrepreneur.
Been forwarded this email? Hi! Subscribe here.
Authority Club doors are officially open once again.
If you would love to feel supported to grow your business for the entire first half of 2026, and, have been spending 2025 saying:
“People say my writing is good, but it hasn’t yet turned into reliable business”
”I’ve tweaked my positioning so much but I’m still not sure it’s working for the clients I want to serve”
”I’m getting work but it’s unpredictable and I don’t feel in control of my pipeline”
Then I built Authority Club for you.
AC isn’t a pay monthly membership of passive learning and ‘nice to haves’ you never use.
It’s a focused programme that gets results.
Built off the back of helping 60 Authority Entrepreneurs in 2025 alone, and hundreds before that.
It’s for the coaches and consultants who sell their thinking, perspective, and lived expertise, and who also want to be known in the market.
Not just in the market in general, but known among their people as the go-to, with a bank of evidence to show for it (case studies, thought leadership, writing, methodology, and signature offers).
You don’t need to have all this in place right now, but you’re on a path.
You have a translation problem.
Most of the people I work with don’t have a skills problem.
It’s the problem of being experienced, intelligent, and respected, but your words not aligning.
Your positioning, your externally facing assets, website, blogs, and newsletters are not doing the heavy lifting they could be. So people are not seeking you out, or referring you work, at the rate they could be.
It’s a constant struggle to explain why you’re different, let alone set the terms for clients to go through your signature offers and programmes, and not their ‘let’s see’ monthly or even daily commitments.
Authority Club exists to fix that.
Over six months, you’ll build:
The clear One Big Idea for your work, which calls attention to you
A visible Body of Work that attracts the right clients and compounds to serve you for months, if not years to come
Signature Offer(s) that let you do your best work without selling your time hourly or daily
We do this through clarity, structure, and long-form thinking that compounds.
Why Authority Club works (even if other things haven’t)
Authority Club works because we’re not trying to fix everything in your business.
We’re focused on one outcome: Filling your coaching or consulting practice with aligned clients who reach out to you because your words already did the selling.
We do that by:
stripping back vague messaging,
choosing what you’re actually going to be known for,
and helping you write content that makes people say, “You’ve articulated exactly what I’ve been feeling.”
Then, taking aligned action to find more of those people. Not just ‘setting it and forgetting it’ but every month, having a plan to increase the surface area of interactions you’re having with those ideal clients, both on and offline.
What you get inside Authority Club
Inside the six-month January–July cohort, you’ll get:
The Authority Manifesto
A guided process to clarify your positioning and narrative, so your work becomes easy to explain and easy to choose, more compelling and consistent. Then, design your offer suite to match your life and business goals.
High-impact live trainings + monthly AMAs
So you stop second-guessing and make decisions that will move the needle, and your personalised questions and challenges are supported. Training topics include One Big Idea development, designing signature offers, and long-form writing that creates inbound demand.
Content Clinics
Bring your writing and ideas, and get my direct feedback so you can turn “good” into client-attracting. Long-form writing is actively encouraged, and, submit up to 3000 words for review every month.
Peer ideation + community inside Circle
A smart, thoughtful group of founders building authority-led businesses. No forced networking. Just real thinking partners.
And throughout all of it, you get my dedicated coaching support with not just strategy, but on the identity wobbles that inevitably come up when you start charging more, being more visible, and standing for something clearly.
Existing members get results
They have:
gone from referral-only to confidently public
clarified ideas they’d been circling for years
signed ideal clients without pitching
hit 6-8k months, on repeat
launched retreats, repositioned industries, and built businesses that finally feel coherent
Here’s how they put it:
Impact Consultant Janinah said: Since being in AC, I’m now confident that my business will achieve the revenue and results I want, as long as I keep following the manifesto and applying the lessons learnt from Ellen's coaching and training. To be able to have such clarity as a Consultant has been a complete game-changer!
Coach Ambra said: Authority Club gives me practical content knowledge and tools to build a content plan aligned to my business goals, which is exactly what I needed to start doing marketing for my business. In addition, I loved to be part of this network of skilled professionals - it's been great to both draw inspiration from others and offer/receive support where I can.
Content Consultant Sam said: I knew I needed to change the way that I talk about my work, and turn my thoughts into differentiated authority content. Since joining, Authority Club I've been able to organize and structure all my ideas and experiences. Discussing the content with Ellen and peers, over several iterations, has really helped me get to the point where everything felt launch-ready!
