First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?

My partner and I are getting back out into the world and traveling, happy to be healthy!

How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

I got certified during the pandemic and started my business after the pandemic so it didn’t affect me too much.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

We are nothing if we don’t have our own health.

My favorite quote comes to mind here,

“You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” — Jim Rohn.

I’ve been very selective on who I hang out with after the Pandemic, energy is real and it matters.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I started my career as a Life Coach by getting certified at Jay Shetty’s Certification School.

I now work there as an Enrollment Advisor and coach on the side.

I’m a sober life coach, so I’ve had my bout with various substances and alcohol.

My sister gifted me Jay Shetty’s Book “Think Like A Monk” while I was in rehabilitation services and it gave me tools and techniques to implement right away.

I saw an instant change in how I showed up for my own sobriety.

I found out that he was a Life Coach and had his own school and for the first time in a long time, I had a goal that I wanted to acquire.

I knew that I could help other people become sober because I had gone through it myself and progressed rather quickly with getting my life back on track and having purpose fuel my every decision.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Big obstacle: getting sober.

Everything I am and have today is because I’m sober.

I’m nothing with my sobriety, and I know that, I’ve been there, I was homeless for 1 and a half year in Chicago.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

Innovation is key to providing a unique plan for each client that I have.

I developed a 12 week program that I follow with each client but I provide a unique focus on key areas that each client is struggling with.

As for continuous learning, I’m always taking classes to expand my horizons on how I can help the next person.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My coaching approach is mixed with my previous experiences in what I struggled with when getting sober.

It’s unique to my story and it’s unique with each client.

I build a custom treatment plan for each client after initial discovery call.

I infuse innovation and creativity into my program as much as I can.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

Live a life of freedom from triggers, cravings, and negative mindset.

They learn how to navigate emotions on their own so they can reach their potential in whatever area of life they want.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

All of the tools I use in my coaching are either from Jay Shetty’s Certification School or of my own creation.

I’m more than happy to share those with other coaches if interested, so let me know!

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

It’s all about perspective and perception in this world.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

That even the worst situations can turn into positive ones by taking the time to reflect on what happened, how I could’ve done better, and creating a plan of action to proceed forward, then taking that action on a daily basis.

Your final thoughts?

If anyone is struggling with getting clients, I also have a business where I help Coaches set up marketing funnels to get an incoming stream of leads consistently.

I also do product launch and book funnels for those who have more than just a coaching service to offer.
