When I started my coaching business, I had a good friend who had just relocated. We’d talk on the phone several times a day—she was feeling shy about making new friends, and I was feeling shy about doing my outreach. One day, I finally said, “I have to get off the phone. My boss …
How do you get a high-powered architect, painter, beauty entrepreneur, vegan food entrepreneur, partner at an experiential design firm, two program managers for nonprofits, and a financial advisor to step into a sound bath in a Midtown spa on a random Wednesday morning? You follow the energy. It started when a former client who is …
