Elevating Coaches through Signature Programs

This week, we are joined by the incredible Cheri Toledo. With 44 years of educational insight and a passion for kingdom life coaching, Cheri shares her expertise in creating impactful signature programs that don’t just educate—they transform.

In this episode, we dive deep into crucial concepts for every coaching entrepreneur. We unravel how clarity acts as the backbone of effective coaching, preventing the common pitfalls of comparison and misalignment with your core values. Discover the transformational power of coaching programs that build upon successive layers, leading clients to profound breakthroughs and success.

Cheri outlines her program's essentials: clarity, content, and cash flow, guiding you to meet the ever-evolving needs of your clients. Additionally, we discuss the buzz around the upcoming **”From Invisible to Influential Trusted Authority”** roundtable.

If you’re looking to shape your signature program into a magnet for your ideal clients, this is where you need to invest your time.
