    66: The Power of Group Coaching

    66: The Power of Group Coaching

    The best thing you can do for yourself is surround yourself with people who want to go where you want to go. Today I’m bringing you a special podcast episode that is a conversation with some of my business besties. The conversations we had with each other on this retreat were both uncomfortable and incredibly inspiring. This is what happens when you put yourself in group coaching containers that are with other high achievers like you. One of the things I love best about being in group coaching experiences is I’m with other humans who have invested significantly in their dreams.


    Our shared commitment is so much higher and it also elevates the conversation we have in obliterating limiting beliefs while shortening the timeline to hit goals.
