There’s still nothing like being in the room—feeling the energy, engaging in real-time conversation, stepping away from distractions, and getting to work side by side with people who care as much as you do. If we all thought learning online was enough, we’d all be homeschool teachers by now.
This is where coaches get better. Together.
