Years ago, in my career coaching practice I used to look up to colleagues who had much more experience that I had.  
Sadly, I believed I needed to have more certifications to build my personal brand as a trusted authority, so I began to study more courses and attend more conferences. It became an obsession.  
 But here’s what I learned after hundreds of hours training, more certifications I can count, several awards, and still not feeling good enough... I didn’t need MORE of anything.  
So, in today’s show I discuss what I wish I had focused on instead, which would have made all of the difference for myself and for my clients and community.  
Let’s dive in to find out more on today’s show.
