After years of steady growth, Christopher found himself at a crossroads. “Eventually, I got to the point where I had taken my personal coaching business as far as I could on my own,” he says. “If I wanted to continue to grow, I knew I needed to find a new community where I would be surrounded by people smarter than I was.” 

After choosing Strategic Coach as the community to support him in reaching that next level, Christopher found that being a part of an elite, like-minded group of fellow ambitious entrepreneurs could make all the difference. “One thing that makes Strategic Coach different,” he says, “is its very high standards for joining, which means that every conversation I’ve had and every quarterly workshop I’ve attended has been extremely stimulating.” 

Christopher continues, “Since one of the biggest challenges of running a business is feeling alone, it’s made a big difference to me to be in a room with like-minded people who are all committed to growing their businesses and sharing their ideas and inspiration with one another. 

“At the end of the day, although we all come from different industries, company sizes, and specific talents, we still face the same challenges in our businesses.”

Though Christopher was initially drawn to Strategic Coach for the community, he’s also been impressed by the caliber of coaching he’s received as a member. “As a coach myself,” he says, “I believe a coach without a coach is a dangerous coach. Because of this, it was important for me to find a program like Strategic Coach that not only provided community but also high-quality coaching.”

In particular, Christopher has appreciated the depth of experience that the coaches at Strategic Coach bring to the table: “David Braithwaite, the coach who has led all the workshops during my first year at Strategic Coach, has been exceptional. He teaches us with great clarity and simplicity and is very approachable. 

“Not to mention, since David (as well as all of Strategic Coach’s coaches) is an entrepreneur and Strategic Coach member himself, he’s already applied the tools and strategies he teaches us in his own business. Because of this, he can speak from firsthand experience about the mistakes to avoid and the impact he’s seen.”

Though Christopher had achieved a comfortable work-life balance before finding Strategic Coach, his time off has continued to grow exponentially throughout his last 18 months as a member. 

According to Christopher, “In the last year alone, I was able to take 193 days off. While I was already taking a decent amount of time off from the business before joining the Program, Strategic Coach has shown me how to release even more time to spend outside of the business. This has allowed me to foster creative space and clearer thinking every time I return to work.” 

In addition to his impressive work-life balance, Christopher has also experienced remarkable growth in income. “Through Strategic Coach, I’ve been able to truly encompass and own my Unique Ability,” he says. “As a result, since becoming a member, there was one month where I earned 43% of the entirety of last year’s income. In short, my experience with Strategic Coach has been incredible thus far.”
