BRIDGETTE “THE GO COACH” SIMMONDS joins Chantée to discuss leading our own lives!
________________________
From the word “go,” Bridgette Simmonds knew she was destined to be a coach to others. Her business name and philosophy are inspired by the words of writer Henry David Thoreau: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined,” and that is exactly what Bridgette The Go Coach does.

Believing that “life is meant to be lived out loud, on purpose and in service to others,” She is a coach, speaker, facilitator and trainer dedicated to being a true partner to everyone she connects with. A joyful facilitator of corporate trainings across the globe, she focuses on developing accountability—and having fun—with leadership teams and groups of all sizes.

When she is not coaching or going confidently in the direction of her dreams, Bridgette lives in sunny Tampa with her fur baby Ginger. The middle child of a proud Jamaican family, she enjoys traveling, food, dancing, Sunday naps, true crime, and anything created by Oprah Winfrey.
