I met with a new client earlier today who, at the end of our session together, said to me “thank you for honoring my creative + visual side...you heard me when I said I need to stay away from only making lists of goals and focusing only on the number of people I’m reaching each day, and I really appreciate that...my last coach didn’t get that part of me, and I am so glad you are willing to honor it.” I so get that statement. Lists, daily goals, call log sheets, budgets, etc. are all …

We Came, We Played, We Painted…and we’ll do it again!
