Coaching is about gaining clarity, creating change and making progress on your goals, outcomes or strategies. This is a chance to bring your most challenging opportunities and blocks to a call, get coaching or learn from your peers’ examples. This will be a live coaching call and you will have opportunities to be coached, ask questions after your peers have been coached or just listen in and learn vicariously. If you’d like to be coached, be sure to bring an actual problem that you really want to change and want help on. Your problem may be someone else’s so do not hesitate to share. We will get to as many as people as possible time permitting.
