At any point of your enrollment process with potential clients, open loops can be created. ➿
What is an open loop?
Open loops are the thoughts and shoulds that keep you straddling the fence and out of action.
Some examples of open loops:
✔️ The investment that “I should” make, but don’t.
✔️ Saying yes to people please, when you have no intention of following through.
✔️ An online program you have invested in but haven’t attended.
In this month’s First Wednesday community call exclusively for coaches, I’ll guide you through an Open Loop Exercise you can use with your potential (and current clients), time and time again.
And, I’ll share three key questions to close open loops!
The meeting is TONIGHT from 5pm to 6pm PST and can be accessed INSIDE of Coaching for Coaches (link in bio).
Don`t forget to invite a coach friend or colleague to the call. The more, the merrier!
See you soon! 💻

Another dream of mine came true this past weekend! 😍
I had the honor of being interviewed as a featured guest on KTLA Weekend Morning News about my book, Break Free From Your Dirty Little Secrets: A New You in 10 Secret-Breaking Stages.
I also talked about my coaching program for women, Break Free to BOLD. 🎉
I’m grateful beyond words to have had the opportunity to be on live television. And how perfect was it to be in the presence of two powerful women. 💪
So here’s your reminder: Don’t give up on your dreams!
I’m so glad I didn’t! 💖
