"The EPM programme has been super, and I've managed to get further than ever before in a very short amount of time. My own course 'T.A.M.E. the triggers' is actually out there and happening - it kicks off in a week and I've got 2 students signed up so far."In 2010 I started learning about Communication as part of my training as a therapeutic massage therapist. The main focus was on how to talk to massage clients as part of their treatments, and how to help them clarify what outcome they wanted from their treatments. This very much positively impacted the quality of my clients' experience, but the effect was much broader than that as my newly-gained knowledge was starting to have a positive effect on my communication with my family and friends too.
Over the years I kept learning, studying, experiencing - the good and the bad. I became a life coach and a lot of what my clients spoke about was about relationships, connection and communication.
My family and friends could also notice the difference in me, and I was often asked to shed some light on their personal situations. I realised that there were only so many people I could talk to in a day, and I developed the idea to turn what I had learned (both through learning as well as through experience) into a course.
About 4 years ago I bought a programme to create a course... I started working my way through the modules but felt lost and disheartened. I didn't really get on with the way it was taught, I missed receiving personal support and having a sounding board, and made very slow progress.
However, I had invested in the programme and wasn't going to invest in another. Until I heard Marisa on a free multi-hour training session. I was very excited about the idea that it would be possible to get my course out there in about 12 weeks! I was worried about the topsy-turvy approach (with creating the course itself being the last thing on the list) but I decided to follow my gut feeling and signed up for EPM2020.
What a ride it's been! I loved having the Milestones document and having coach Mark to keep me on track and accountable - he's been amazing! I LOVED our Wednesday coaching pod... such fantastic people, and great support and encouragement throughout. The Wednesday evening coaching calls were something I very much looked forward to!
The EPM programme has been super, and I've managed to get further than ever before in a very short amount of time. My own course 'T.A.M.E. the triggers' is actually out there and happening - it kicks off in a week and I've got 2 students signed up so far. Not quite enough to hit Mission Accomplished today but I'm totally cool with Graduating. I've travelled far... just about everything is new territory now and I'm loving it!
EPM has completely given me the opportunity to fast-forward myself in the right direction, and I couldn't be happier with where I am today! This is the place where I've wanted to get to for at least 5 years, and I got there in 12 weeks. Through EPM I have discovered my confidence, despite finding certain Milestones quite tricky... but I did it, I made the deadlines and I've learned so much! I've learned and implemented the different marketing campaign, did my first live Masterclass, and learned to appreciate Chatterboxing!
I will hit Mission Accomplished when I do - it's a matter of when, not if, and I'm soooooo close! I'm not giving up on my dream of establishing my business and my course once and for all, as I have more ideas and products on the horizon.
Thank you Marisa and Team EPM2020 on every level - it's been a amazing experience!
