Nuggets of Wisdom

Talking about what is the biggest hurdle holding back health coaches and new graduates from achieving success...

"Comparison is kryptonite. I think everyone is unique and their own shining star. They have the ability to connect and to be a great coach but too often in our society we look outside, and I think we need to look inward a little bit. That and perfectionism just stop people flat in their tracks."

"Elise and I are really big proponents of committing big publicly...We had a big goal when we said we're going to partner with IFM and that we were going to create this academy, so it's committing and it's committing big."
