5 Myths About Coaching That Keep Women Stuck (And What’s Actually True)
If you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to figure this out myself” of “Coaching is for people who are struggling”…you’re not alone.
I’ve coached hundreds of brilliant women, and I see the same thing over and over: they don’t hire a coach because they aren’t capable…they hire a coach because they are.
