Why I love summer clients
It was a scorcher for weather here in the "Great White North" this week. Temperatures in my neck of the woods reached 43 Celsius (which is over 109 F - for my American friends) And who said we all live in igloos in Canada?! Anyways, beach season is here, and it can be...
Escaping the coaching world’s mist

I often mock the get-rich-quick types. (There's plenty to choose from in the online space …) You know who I mean: They're the ones who want to make 7-figures in their first month, while sipping drinks on the beach or at poolside. They're led on by the gurus who rent...
How I’m rewarding long-term thinkers and serious coaches (time-sensitive)
The longer I'm in the coaching world, the more I realize that I only want to work with long-term thinkers. There are too many flakes in the online space - people who want to get rich quick without rolling up their sleeves to work for it. Or they expect to try...
