If you're considering a similar transition or looking to create a successful executive coaching business, this video is for you. I'll share my experiences, from overcoming barriers to becoming a thought leader in my niche, and offer valuable insights on how to create the mindset shifts that drives business success. Whether you're in the Bay Area or beyond, this video will provide you with actionable career guidance and inspiration to take your executive transition to the next level.
What really happens when your entrepreneurial journey doesn't match expectations:
