TESTIMONIALS
I think for me the “Big Value” was being able to share and hear thoughts with other coaches.

I have begun diving deep into leadership and culture (in coaching and teaching as well), and the more people who get their eyes and mind open to getting better and working on relationships the better. The improvement for me was in the technology realm.
RenaldoClub coach, USA
Lots of golden nuggets in there. All of the coaches (on the course) crying out for this sort of thing. There's a hell of a lot of coaches here in Australia that could do this type of learning, believe me.
