course. I want to play with a few of my ideas on how to design a
coaching element. Could this be great for
you?I've decided to invite 5 clients between now and
the end of this calendar year who specifically want to focus on
developing greater resilience in their
lives. What's in it for
you? reduced rates for my coaching time in
exchange for your input/feedback on how my tools and approaches are
supporting your ability to be more resilient.

Whether it's about systems or leadership skills, my mission is to help senior leaders make their workplace more productive, inclusive and innovative.
