In this episode of Excited 4 Equity, I discuss changes that I would LOVE to see in the coaching industry:
- Moving away from solely marketing based on income and revenue
- More transparency in storytelling
- A bigger focus on inclusive content
- Less predatory pricing
And a few more inclusive and justice-centered practices! I believe as entrepreneurs and coaches, we have the opportunity to carve a different path and be more inclusive coaches. Time to re-imagine a new future!
