The Financial Investment of Coaching is one of the most common fears I encounter with potential clients.
Historically, money was also my most common roadblock when it came to investing in personal or business development. Yet, when I speak with clients or seek advice of my own, it is rare to find a conversation about finances that is vulnerable, open, & truly informative.
Because of this, I invited some of my closest friends, coaches, & business colleagues to join me in conversation about:
- what it means to invest in ourself,
- the common fears we witness & experience - & how to work through them,
- & our lessons learned from investing in coaching services.
If you are interested to enter a conversation about coaching (all fears, hesitations, questions, & excitement welcome), schedule your free coaching consult today.
