When faced with a big change, your brain isn’t going to like it.

Brains like certainty and stability, not the unknown.

So when I announced this would be the last year of Get Coached, many of the students inside had thoughts about what this change would mean for them.

And I get it.

Coaching and teaching inside these containers has been so rewarding and amazing.

And, I cannot wait to see my students surpass me in achieving their impossible goals and in being an example of what’s possible.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn why you 100% have the ability to surpass your teachers and why you might want to. Hear why leveraging what your teacher knows is helpful, but depending on yourself to embrace change and facilitate growth matters more.

What You Will Discover:

• Why every student can surpass their teacher if they want to.
• A more useful way to view your teachers.
• The benefits of being part of different communities.
• How to become the leader you’re looking for.
