“I cannot recommend this program more highly. Even as a quasi-launched coach, there were still bits and pieces of my marketing that were yet unfinished and/or in need of an update. My coaching took off in one direction, veered another way and landed happily, but my brand and how I described my work did not reflect who I had become.
Thrive in 5 has helped me and is still helping (as once a Thriver, always a Thriver) to present a clear picture of myself as a coach and teacher. Joanne and Joan are warm, smart, funny, mentors who present concise and clear resources, support and loads of sage advice.”

"I was making very slow progress when it came to launching my business. I did not have a clear plan on how to go about it. With my full-time job and other things on my plate, I thought maybe with some guidance and accountability, I might be able to push myself further along. That was all I had in mind when I signed up. I was totally surprised with how things unfolded with Thrive in 5!
When the course ended, I had my website up! I am currently working on the details of my 3-month package. I am super excited with the progress I have made. I learned a lot from the live sessions. I also had one-on-ones with Joan and Joanne which were truly invaluable. At the time of completion of the course, I also had a well-crafted resume!
I can’t say enough about Joan and Joanne! They truly care and share their wisdom and time generously! There is so much value this course provides. It is one of the best investments I have made!"

"Joining Thrive in 5 was helpful in getting my coaching business started. The assigned exercises were thought-provoking and created fundamental building blocks for establishing a coaching presence. I appreciated the discussions during the live sessions as well as meeting others who were also working toward a similar goal.”

"I highly recommend the Thrive in 5 program. I was a returning student and really gained a lot of insight from the program. Revisiting my ideal client, niche and my story have really helped me to focus on my why and the audience I am targeting. The program does not overwhelm with too much content and yet enough to really encourage the thought process. I am developing a group coaching program with a fellow coach and I learned so much to bring to that. Lastly, I now have this valuable group of resources (facilitators and students) in my network to connect with in the future!”
