Break the Rules, Shed Your Secrets, Change Your Life.

Coaching for driven people, doing incredible things.

Deep down we all have internalized rules and old beliefs holding us back from being our most powerful selves. They keep us trapped in a false sense of who we are, one that plays it safe and lives a small unremarkable life.

Our programs help you break free of the rules, shed the secrets that hold you back, and forge a new truer identity. One that reflects your strengths and your most powerful self.

Only then can you have the impact that you were meant to have.

I strive to always be genuine and provide an unforgettable experience for my clients.

When you’re talking to a potential client, remember that coaching is an experience and not a concept.

Prosperous coaches know that talking about coaching rarely helps the client and almost never creates a paid coaching relationship. Giving someone an actual experience creates a powerful connection.

How will offering an experience change your conversations with potential clients? I’d love to hear about it in the comments! ⬇️

It’s important to recognize the signs that your potential client is the right fit during a discovery call and when you are communicating with them PRIOR to finalizing your partnership.

Keep these handy so you can review them in the future! ✨

I`m often asked the question, "How do I become a coach?" 🤔

You want to get a good basis for what coaching is in all of its forms before you get started. You want to have a solid foundation of learning you`ve done, usually through some kind of school, like the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Once you`ve completed the basics and core competencies of coaching, then you can start thinking about what you want to specialize in and/or what type coach you want to be.

From there, you can do specialized trainings and programs depending on what you`ve chosen.

It`s important to remember WHO you want to work with - this will help guide you during this process.
