I’m here to tell you that the problem isn’t you.
We are all unique, creative, interesting individuals who have our own strengths and coaching styles. The idea that there is one right way to be a coach or build a practice takes none of this into account so I’m taking a stand against the Coaching Industrial Complex and inviting you to join me.
I created the Activate Your Coaching Superpowers Masterclass, built the Misfit to Maverick community, and developed the Maverick Approach to Coaching to share with coaches everything I wish I’d known when I first started, especially if you’re feeling discouraged about your coaching practice and can’t seem to find a path forward that’s a good fit (like I was!).
I spent almost 8 years trying to build my practice in a way that mirrored what I believed – and was told – was the right way to do things. I invested in countless programs and coaches, which all promised to grow my business if I followed the plan to the letter. ... but it never felt right.
I’d want to change my niche, or activate a new idea, or do something different and ‘off-plan’. I’d build a list and then ignore it, abandon a niche to explore working with someone new.
Each time I tried to fit my new projects into the ‘right way’ box, they’d burst out – leaving me feeling inspired but also disheartened by all my ‘off plan’ ideas.
It wasn’t until I really understood how I prefer to WORK – honoring my own strengths, values, skills and interests via YouMap® (a tool I’m now certified in, and a key part of the Masterclass, a requirement to join the community), that all of the dots started to connect.
I’m not going to promise to make you six figures in six months. And I’m not here to teach you how to scale or run successful FB ads and online funnels. I don’t believe there’s one right way to do things, but I know there’s a right way for YOU.
Some fun facts about me:
Trekking Annapurna, Nepal.
I’ve tracked mountain lions in the Malibu Mountains and civet cats in the lowlands of Nepal.
I spent 2+ years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bulgaria.
I moved solo from LA to NYC to join Teach for America and spent 5 years teaching middle and high school biology.
I’m married with two kiddos and love a cold IPA by a campfire.
I’m not your one-size-fits-all coach.
