My Next Steps

There are moments when seemingly disparate areas of life converge, and everything makes sense. Recently, I experienced that when Tony shared the opportunity to lead Coach.me.

I discovered the “app” almost exactly a decade ago. I had accidentally noticed the power of habits and was thrilled to find helpful tools and other folks that shared my enthusiasm. Since then, I’ve connected with thousands of clients, coaches, and fellow habit aficionados from all over the world. Those relationships and conversations have enriched my life tremendously.

I believe that habits are one of the human superpowers, and science gives us clues on how to use them. I believe that coaching is uniquely helpful for providing the starting point, pathway, and support for crafting our habits intentionally. Combined, we can help people gain the momentum they need to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Through this platform, we have made those services accessible and affordable through coaches with diverse perspectives and insights.

I’m extraordinarily grateful for Tony and the entire coach.me Team that brought us together and made this possible. Long ago, Tony and I realized that we were both motivated by the quote from Leila Janah that “Talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.” I’ve seen firsthand how our platform enables accessibility and support, and I want to keep working towards that mission.

To the Coach.me Community:

I’m delighted to have the opportunity to serve and nurture this community. My first focus will be on providing the resources that coaches need to impact their clients in a positive way and build thriving businesses.

Many of those initiatives are already in place:

• We’re conducting our 9th cohort of the Habit Coaching Certification Program, with the 10th planned for this fall.
• We offer a personalized welcome and tour to new coaches joining the platform.
• Our monthly cross-promotion challenge facilitates new connections and supports healthy consistency among dozens of participants.
• Our weekly mastermind group demonstrates the power of diverse perspectives and continual improvement.
• We’ve started a redesign of the website to update and organize our training materials and resources.

I also have a “wishlist” that’s been capturing ideas and possibilities for years. There are features that would be helpful in supporting evolving coaching practices. We can find ways to collectively share our stories and highlight the power of habit coaching. We can offer more training on both the craft of coaching and effective business practices. We can update our directory to reflect emerging areas of interest that would benefit from coaching support.

Next, I want to hear about your wishes too. I want to understand the features that would be most helpful to you. I want to compile the stories of each of your coaching journeys. I want your feedback on the training topics that are needed most.

Together, we’ll craft the roadmap for the next evolution of coach.me. Together, we’ll bring the power of habits and coaching to even more people. Together, we’ll do our best to support reconciling the distribution of talent and opportunity.
