FOR COACHES

 BEHIND-THE-SCENES

an audio series about what it really takes to build and maintain a thriving coaching business

We often see someone's success, but we don't hear about their stumbles along the way. These honest conversations with my clients and colleagues are about what's really required to grow a thriving practice.

We'll peel back the curtain to highlight someone's first year in business (their fees/packages/income), as well as their perceived failures, learnings, and triumphs.

My hope is you'll find comfort and inspiration in this series.

    "There are many coaches out there who work with coaches in their businesses.

    None of them are Amber Krzys. I have witnessed Amber help coaches go from under earning to finally earning, and from a modest income to an excellent one (multiple six-figures). She's not a good coach of coaches—she's a great one. That's why she's on the faculty at the CFJ Coaching Success School and it's why I know that if a coach gets to work with her one-on-one, great things are going to happen. She coaches deeply on the inner terrain and the outer one with deep love and dedication. Any coach I know who’s worked with Amber considers it one of the best decisions that they have EVER made."

    "Amber Krzys is a one of a kind human being and you will be hard pressed to find someone with her special combination of love, generosity, listening and commitment to service in the world. She has dedicated her life to making a difference and she delivers in such a fiercely loving way. I've come to know some of the people who Amber has worked with as a coach and have witnessed the results they have achieved as a result. Both the outer transformation (income, relationships, business etc.) and most importantly the inner transformation (presence, peace, spaciousness, fulfillment). Amber is a coach that you want in your corner if you're ready to uplevel your life."

    “Working with amber has been life changing. In a very short time, I was able to drop old stories, gain clarity on how I love to serve and anchor into my own style of leadership. I co-created a thriving hybrid coaching-psychotherapeutic practice meeting my financial goals in less than 6 months. And, I did this without having to work harder or sacrifice more.

    In my work with Amber, I experienced what it really means to co-create with Spirit and relax into completing one thing at a time with great love and care. I was able to see where my medicine is needed in the world and how to offer it with much grace and ease.

    I am so grateful for Amber’s love, encouragement and her ability to mirror back to me who I really am in those moments when I had forgotten.”

    “Working with amber has been one of the greatest gifts in my life. I started working with her when I was at a place of new leadership with my company and didn't know what I needed to do in order to move to the next level. Since working with amber I have more than doubled my income, I have been able to reduce/eliminate the things that were sucking my energy and instead focus on where my greatest strengths were. On top of that, I've been able to hone in on what is most important and valuable to me in order to find the sweet joy of life and of work. Amber has a unique ability to walk you through some of your deepest questions and your darkest fears to come to a place of acceptance of your greatness that leaves you feeling incredibly empowered and valuable.”
