The interview
What was your biggest challenge before joining the Elevate program?
My biggest challenge was to get the kind of number of clients I really wanted to scale up my business, have more clients—and not just clients, but the kind of clients I really wanted to work with. You know, the ones who were interested in their growth, who were happy to invest in themselves in terms of their time, their effort, their energy.
What inspired you to join the Elevate program?
What inspired me to join the Elevate program was the holistic structure. I remember I was in coaches training when this program was announced. The moment I heard the structure of it, it kind of excited me. There was a lot of emphasis on action as well. Because sometimes we know a lot of things but we don't really end up acting on them or we don't know how to really apply those concepts.
What specific results have you achieved since joining?
Firstly, I'm so happy to share that I crossed my target that I had set for myself and I went beyond the target. And I ended up having at least 10 to 15 new clients in this little short time. I exceeded all my targets. My revenue went up by at least 40%.
How has the program impacted you on a personal and professional level?
I also feel at a personal level, I have become even more confident in the way I coach my clients and the way I connect with them has deepened. And as a result, my clients have been having breakthroughs. And because they've been having breakthroughs the word has been spreading and they are literally my champions. And they keep referring more and more people to me.
What has been your biggest takeaway from working with your coach?
The biggest takeaway for me has been the way my coach inspires. The way my coach invites me to go beyond where I am even when I find it hard to lean into it. Like, something I want but I hesitate. So my biggest takeaway is how to coach even better than where I am right now.
What do you enjoy most about the Elevate Intensives?
I love the Elevate Intensives because the faculty that trains us in those intensives is so committed to our growth. I love the fact that they are so heart-centered. They want us to go beyond our limiting paradigms. They want us to be fully equipped with tools, with concepts, with knowledge, information... that will help us serve our clients better.
Who would you recommend the Elevate program to?
I would recommend the Elevate program to any coach. And to be a great coach you've got to learn from the greatest. And you get the right tools. You get so much of the information, the knowledge, the tools to be able to serve your clients better—the way you would love to.
