Coaching a 20-Year Broadcaster Who Wants 10x the Business Without 10x the Hours | Christine Blosdale | Ep 1080

“Keeping ourselves in that cave for safety and security is a disservice to ourselves, and also possibly people in the other caves as well.” – Christine Blosdale

Join Niiamah Ashong and Christine Blosdale for a live coaching conversation. Christine’s challenge: her business runs on her one-on-one time, and she wants to 10x it without working 10 times as much.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Why the person you are now has another 10x in you, and why 100x asks for something fundamentally different
  • How to tell whether what you’re protecting yourself from has actually happened

Coaching a 30-Year Innovation Leader Missing Feedback on His Ideas | Malcolm De Leo | Ep 1076

“Create the space and then invite the leaders.” – Niiamah

Join Niiamah Ashong and Malcolm De Leo for a live coaching conversation. Malcolm’s challenge: he’s been writing his best thinking on a website nobody goes to, and nothing comes back.

“Anyone that creates a miracle or transformation, the heart is the actual king and queen in the process.” – Daniel Hegerich

Join Niiamah Ashong and Dan Hegerich for a live coaching conversation. Dan’s challenge: 40 interviews in, he still isn’t reaching the people he’s here to serve, and he refuses to use his story to manipulate anyone.
