You were probably told that great coaching sells itself. That if you just do good work, clients will come.

Stories of the Black Belts is unfortunately only a partial story. It’s partial because I don’t have all of the thousands of Black Belts we have trained since 1995 in here and more importantly because it’s only a snapshot.

While many of these Black Belts are still training and I know their current story, in the last two and a half decades I would love to know ...
