I am joined today with Brett Knopf a high performing coach with nearly two decades of leadership experience and a tremendous track record of helping people and organizations maximize their potential through customized coaching programs where progress is quantifiably mastered.

I think that high-performance coaching is underestimated in the performing arts world. And that is why I chose to bring this particular guest into our community today because we will be able to learn so much from him.

We also discuss:

• Leadership
• Taking responsibility
• What is 10 min to reset
• Asking for help

So much ♥,

Susanne

Thank you for joining me today.

I wanted to share with you the importance of not dimming your light to fit others. So much of our day, we are interacting with people and we find that we are trying to adjust to others' states of being rather than being in our own power and light.

What does it mean to you to be "ALL IN"? For me, it is re-writing the past stories that I felt I needed to carry as my own and truly allowing myself to evolve as a result of doing so. 

 

Thank you for listening,

So much ♥,

Susanne
