What lies just outside your client’s Comfort Zone? Is it a dream that feels just out of reach? Do you have a vision for your life and your coaching practice, but seem to be unable to stick with the hard work of getting it all done? Then this week’s guest on the “Star Coach” podcast is for you!

Caroline Adams Miller is a coach, writer, and speaker with a lot of Grit. What is “Grit,” and how can this rather elusive concept help you accomplish any goal? Where is the evidence for Grit, and how can we apply that to our coaching practice? This week’s episode will answer all of these questions, and will leave you energized and ready to tackle any challenge!
