A note about my free events...

Have you ever attended a "free" workshop or webinar, only to endure what feels like an endless 25-minute sales pitch? Or maybe you've hesitated to join a "free" event because you expected a sales pitch at the end. Well, I've been in both those situations, and I understand how frustrating they can be. In fact, I once experimented with the approach recommended by seasoned professionals who advocated for such tactics in webinars. However, it left me feeling uncomfortable and out of alignment with my values.

That's why I've chosen to create a different experience—a no-pitch zone. Here, you can participate to learn and connect without the worry of being pressured into buying something. I'll provide information on what I do and where you can find me, but rest assured, I won't subject you to a full-blown sales pitch. I trust in your wisdom, and if you feel inspired to collaborate with me, that's fantastic! But if not, that's equally fantastic! Your learning and growth remain my top priorities!
