Our Story

In 2012, my wife, Olive, and I (Tim) quit our jobs to blog full-time. Our goal was to turn our blog into a part-time income-generating business that she could work on while staying at home with our kids. With a limited budget we learned how to design our own website, promote the blog on social media, get website traffic through SEO, build an email list, and sell products online. We also wrote and self-published two books. Along the way, we made a bunch of mistakes and learned what did and didn’t work. Over time we began seeing success with 15,000 monthly visitors to our blog and an email list of over 1300 people.

6 months into blogging full-time, I was approached by a few small business owners. They had seen our blog and social media presence and asked if we could help their businesses with online marketing. We started working with them and confirmed that many of the lessons we learned while growing our blog also applied to marketing for small businesses. We also discovered that we loved working with small business owners.

In October 2013, we established Coracle Marketing (now Coracle Coaching and Consulting) and we have been serving small businesses ever since.

Coracle Coaching and Consulting was started to help change the world for the better.

We believe in business owners and the difference they can make in the world. In a society where it’s all too common for customers to be ripped off and employees to be undervalued, there are still many passionate businesses owners who truly care about making people’s lives better. That’s who we want to work with. Through smart marketing, we want to help business owners achieve their vision, serve their customers, and provide meaningful work for their employees.

The heart of our business is service.

The vision of Coracle Coaching and Consulting is to provide effective business coaching and marketing services to vision-driven business owners. We have a very personal approach and always take time to learn the story, the heart, and the passion behind the business owners. With this knowledge, we are able to customize the work we do for them. Our customers are consistently impressed with our level of service, from the detailed proposals we write to the lightning quick responses to their emails.

A team celebration during the pandemic

We believe that doing meaningful work is an essential part of being human.

What is meaningful work? It’s work that we are passionate about, puts our skills to use, and meets the needs of the community. As we've grown, we’ve had the privilege of forming a small team to work with us and our heart is to provide meaningful work for them, too. At Coracle Coaching and Consulting, we want every team member to develop their skills and do what they love, while making an income to provide for their families.

We believe it’s a privilege to own
a business.

Owning a business comes with its challenges, but in the end, it's truly a privilege. At Coracle Coaching and Consulting, we strive to do our best in making the world a better place by providing high-quality coaching and marketing services for businesses and organizations, meaningful work for our team, and giving back to the community.

Our Mission: To help vision-driven businesses achieve meaningful growth.

Over the past 10 years, we're proud to have served over 100 businesses and organizations clients (and friends) with marketing services, marketing consulting, and/or business coaching:
