I'm sharing a powerful tool that I've been teaching my clients inside The Coach Project. It's a formula that can help you tackle any project or goal, whether it's creating a new program for your clients, developing your coaching process, or even working on your own personal development.

Plus, I share some tips on how you can use this formula with your own coaching clients to help them achieve their goals.
