Dare Greatly Event - June, in person and online

Before we get into today’s episode, tickets are now on sale for my signature event, Dare Greatly.

This year, we’re focusing on how to 10X your results from the same effort.

We all have such limited time, and there are so many things you could be doing in your business. But often, what’s missing is clarity on the one bottleneck that would make everything else flow so much more easily.

At Dare Greatly, we’re going to zoom out so you can see your whole business ecosystem clearly. And when you can see the full picture, the next right step becomes far more obvious.

This isn’t just learning. You’ll map out your business visually and join the roundtable conversation you most need right now - whether that’s clarity on your person, your offer, your reach, or your conversions.

It’s happening both in person and online.

If you’d like to join us in person for the full day, it’s taking place on Friday 26 June at the Roehampton Club in Barnes - a beautiful private members club where you’ll feel the shift from busy coach to serious business owner the moment you walk in. There’s free parking, and it’s also just a five-minute walk from Barnes station.

Or you can join us online on Monday 29 June for a shorter version of the event.
