The app I have been looking for! I met the Sphere team several months ago and was struck by their passion and enthusiasm to bring coaching to more people in an accessible and affordable way. The product itself is fantastic. I feel confident choosing a coach on Sphere, knowing the team has selected and reviewed them for me first. The app is well-designed and easy-to-use.

@danielle_leroux Danielle, thank you so much for the kind words and the support. Your insights at our Seeker user meetup have greatly shaped the product you see today. So thank you! Can't wait to get you back on Sphere as a member! Especially now that you've fully launched your business πŸŽ‰

πŸ‘‹πŸ» Hey Product Hunt, I’m so excited that this is now live to the public! It’s so handy to have a coach in my back pocket. I love that Sphere does all the heavy lifting for you and pairs coaches that fit your style/needs after a short but necessary on-boarding survey. They also let you have intro calls with the coaches that you’re matched with for free, so you can see which person you jive best with before doing a paid session with them. As a first time founder I often feel overwhelmed and doubtful on which direction to take my business. After my first session I felt confident and ready with an actionable plan to start achieving goals/ breaking down barriers that I had. Huge congrats to the Sphere team on launch!!!

Having used coaches in the past, things like scheduling, follow ups, payment processing and availability always made it super difficult for me to continue. I'm so stoked about what Sphere brings to the table. Also, knowing how incredible the team is gives me HUGE confidence in this product. Thank you for bringing this to the world! πŸš€

@justin_veenema Justin! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™appreciate all the kind words and support. Also, hot damn your Instagram images were not only beautiful, but seemingly whipped up at a moments notice.

I've been following Sphere via @smgrieser for a while now, and I'm super pumped it's now official official! It's so hard to find the right coach since we're all so unique as individuals - and Sphere solves that problem. So smooth and easy. I don't know where I'd be without the coaching I've gotten throughout my career - and I'm so glad that others will now get the same chance hack their own personal and professional growth!

I have worked with Benedicte who is one of the coaches at Sphere. For me coaching was lifechanging it helped me understand my values and define what I really care about and gave me a sense of direction. I can't wait to start using sphere! As I like how accessible it is as well as you can combine different types of coaching depending on your needs.

Oh gosh what to say about Sphere! I’m a coach and I work almost exclusively with impact entrepreneurs. I’m also a proud OG Sphere guide! πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ Most of us aren’t taught life skills growing up: how to deal with fear, self doubt, success and failure and everything in between. I find the business side of things is often easier than the human side. Coaching is all about guiding people to be in the drivers seat of their life. This means being a great human + doing great work. Sphere has taken an often exclusive tool and made it available to more people. That means more people being great humans and making the world great. Win win! Big love to the Sphere team! β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️

Love it! Product is easy to use and removes friction from finding, evaluating and hiring coaches/experts :)
Stefanie Grieser
@sujanpatel love your description: short, sweet and to the point. And articulated in one sentence. Must admit, sometimes I get tripped up talking about Sphere (hence my very long Sphere introduction). Note to self: Will have to swipe all these descriptions for future product copy renditions.

Echoing many others here, I’ve found finding a coach to be very time consuming, inconsistent and overall extremely difficult. I’ve made several attempts over the years and have given up each time. When I heard about Sphere I was about to start yet another search for a coach. I’m so glad I don’t have to go through that horrible manual experience ever again, and can now use Sphere to connect with a great-fit coach. And, the app will help me manage the interaction and payment in a standardized way. I’ve been presented with a handful of high quality coaches, and now my only challenge is picking ONE of them to start with! Can’t wait :)
Stefanie Grieser
@halarewich Danny, also just want to recognize that your earlier feedback (not on Product Hunt) that was bang-on. For anyone reading this who downloaded Sphere and thought, "Nope, these coaches aren't for me." I'd love to hear from you! We have plans to to go deeper with our on-boarding assessment and our matching algorithm. Right now, we're small enough that we'd love to give anyone interested in Sphere some white-glove treatment (it lets us get to know our customers better!). Meaning, if you're not really vibing with your matched coaches, let us know and we'll work our magic. With 160+ coaches, we feel pretty confident there are a few coaches that would be perfect for you.

I’ve been paying for coaching for two years, and it has literally changed my life. I met Sphere on Twitter - Stefanie asked for people who are currently receiving coaching who were willing to talk about their experience. I think it’s high time we normalize asking for help! So the idea of an affordable coaching model in my pocket is so smart and appealing! I love what Sphere is doing! Especially as we see mental health issues on the rise, daily stress and anxiety levels increasing, and more diagnoses of depression than ever, Sphere is a terrific resource for folks who maybe can’t afford traditional coaching or don’t want to do the in-person on-the-couch thing. I’m sharing Sphere with family and friends, and I hope you will too!
Stefanie Grieser
@jessviceux interviewing you was nothing short of amazing, Jess! Telling coaching stories will be our MO because, exactly as you said, it's time we normalize asking for professional help and support. Cannot wait to get your friends and family on Sphere now that we're out of beta and available in the USA!
