"I not only learned how to be an effective coach, but the program changed me. I felt such a sense of connectedness with the community"

I was on a journey. I had healed a lot of my past wounds and was beginning to create the life I truly wanted. I started my own business and coaching was something I knew I had to include because I discovered that helping people transform their lives was my passion. Through my daily learning for self-improvement, I stumbled upon the Mind Valley podcast. Shortly after, a friend shared that she was in the MV Certified Business Coach program. It was as if the Universe was sending me a sign! I knew I had to sign up for the CLC program. 
During the program I not only learned how to be an effective coach, but the program changed me. I felt such a sense of connectedness with the community. I learned to listen more with my heart. I felt like my passion for serving others was not so unusual and helped me feel part of something much bigger than myself. I got even more motivated and inspired to show up as the best version of myself.
My biggest takeaways from the program include the following: 
 - You can't help someone else if you are not helping yourself to be the best version of yourself.
 - Slowing the client down is a great way to bring focus to something really important without pointing it out directly. Leading them to the answers is more about their discovery, not mine.
 - Community is so important for growing and learning. The MV community has made me feel like I belong somewhere.
