Quiet cutting, restarting a journey, and bouncing back

The Mental Breakdown - Edition #52

My friend and executive coach, Nathan Parcells, inspired us to start a contest to bring coaches together for some friendly competition.

The result?

We are going to reimburse one coach and offset their past coach training program costs!

Coaches who want to participate write a LinkedIn post related to coaching between now and 11/15/23.

The coach whose post gets the most likes by 11/16/23 at midnight PST wins the reimbursement (up to $10k).

If you’re a coach who wants to have some fun, visit our contest page for full details:
