Travel coordination for coaches, trainers, & speaking professionals

By Zack Pennington, CEO Updated

When you're running a multi-city workshop tour, flying in for a corporate training engagement, or coordinating travel for a retreat cohort, the logistics can easily eat hours you don't have. A Nacho Executive Assistant handles the research, booking, and contingency planning so your itinerary is airtight before you leave your desk. Whether you're traveling solo or moving a group of participants to an offsite venue, we've done this before.

How it works

How Nacho handles travel coordination for coaches and trainers

A Nacho EA assigned to travel coordination for your coaching or training business starts by learning your preferences: preferred airlines, loyalty program numbers, seat preferences, hotel chains, and any blackout dates tied to your program calendar. From there, they handle all flight and hotel research using tools like Google Flights, Kayak, and your preferred booking platforms, cross-referencing your training schedule in tools like Calendly, Acuity, or Google Calendar to avoid conflicts. They build detailed itineraries in a shared Google Doc or Notion page that includes confirmation numbers, venue addresses, ground transportation options, and contact info for event coordinators or venue managers. If a flight gets canceled or a hotel overbooks, they're your first call, not your last resort. Your role is to review and approve; theirs is to handle everything else.

Off your plate

What your EA takes off your plate

Before your first handoff, put together a simple travel preferences doc: your frequent flyer and hotel loyalty numbers, preferred seat type, budget range per night, and any hard constraints like early morning flights or specific airline alliances. The most common mistake coaches make when delegating travel for the first time is assuming the EA will ask all the right questions upfront; the faster path is giving them your preferences in writing so the first booking comes back exactly how you'd have done it yourself.

  1. Flight and Hotel Research and Booking

    EA researches options based on your travel preferences and program schedule, books confirmed reservations, and saves all confirmation details in a shared tracker.

  2. Speaker and Trainer Itinerary Creation

    Builds a comprehensive travel itinerary document including flight details, hotel check-in info, venue address, onsite contact names, and day-of logistics, formatted for easy mobile reference.

  3. Group Travel Coordination for Retreats or Cohort Programs

    Manages logistics for multiple participants traveling to an offsite retreat or training event, including collecting travel preferences, coordinating arrival windows, and communicating group itineraries.

  4. Ground Transportation Arrangements

    Books rental cars, rideshares, or car services and confirms pickup times relative to flight arrivals and training start times, accounting for buffer time at unfamiliar venues.

  5. Travel Disruption Monitoring and Rebooking

    Monitors for flight delays or cancellations ahead of travel days and proactively identifies alternative routes or accommodations, reaching out to you only when a decision is needed.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes: group travel logistics for retreats, mastermind events, and cohort programs is one of the more involved travel tasks we handle. The EA typically collects individual travel preferences from participants via a form, coordinates arrivals within a defined window, and builds a master logistics doc for you and any co-facilitators to reference.
Your EA will work directly from your calendar, whether that's Google Calendar, Acuity, or Calendly, to ensure travel doesn't conflict with existing coaching sessions or program commitments. They'll flag any tight turnarounds and recommend buffer time before you're expected onsite at a training venue.
That depends on your preference. Some clients share a dedicated travel card or a virtual card number for bookings; others prefer the EA to research and present options so the client completes the final purchase. We'll set up whatever workflow makes you most comfortable during onboarding.
