What Gretchen’s Clients & Students Have to Say

Gretchen developed Stairway to Six: From Client Enrollment to the Close. Build Your Six Figure Sales Strategy Start to Finish based on past group coaching programs to create a one-stop shop for coaches looking to go all-in in their business.

Here’s what some of her previous Stairway to Six members have to say: 

“The structure of Stairway to Six is very supportive for coaches looking to uplevel their coaching skills, get coached themselves to show up as their best version for their clients, and have a strong community of other coaches to provide suggestions and input to improve their business. Every part of it is meant to help a coach progress, from the pre-work and the post-work of the group coaching calls, to the accountability in the group and ongoing work between sessions!”
—Christy V.
"I believe that Stairway to Six is a must for all coaches looking to generate a sustainable income, build relationships with other coaches, and learn from a master at the top of her game. You will be challenged and pushed beyond your comfort zone, yet have the support you need to rise to the occasion. I cannot say enough good things about my experience in ST6 so if this program is offered to you, just do it — it will be well-worth your investment!”
—Michael Z.
"My biggest wins during Stairway to Six were having my highest income month since starting my business, starting a group coaching program, and gaining confidence regarding client creation.”
—Emily D.
“Gretchen’s inspiration and incredibly helpful advice has helped me make a fantastic shift in my business this year. As my confidence has grown, I am connecting with more people and I am finding new opportunities more readily.”
—Neela P.
