INSIDER’S TRANSMISSION: The First Order Stance

Initiates of the Flame Post #2: Why All Masterful Coaching Begins with You Unmasked — and Why Most of What’s Called Coaching Can’t Touch This

The Real Beginning

This work doesn’t begin with a model. It begins with collapse.

Let’s look at how that unfolds …
