What coaching clients are saying…
“ This session gave our whole team clarity around our business values and how we can make a healthier environment for all the practitioners so we can practice what we preach.”
“This session helped me pick business hours I could commit to. Creating a list of things I can do to help me move my business forward and identify new leads will help me avoid decision fatigue and scrolling when I’m done client work so that I can generate new business instead.”
“ I was feeling nervous to have a conversation with my HR department as I was viewing it as a conflict of interest, after our coaching session I feel confident and have reframed this conversation as an opportunity for business development and collaboration.”
