Financial coaching is a relatively new career path and many financial coaches have no formalized education in finances, feel like their credibility will be questioned. But having a degree in finance does not make a financial coach. Most financial coaches have actually learned good financial [...]

Can your clients see your eyes? Tips for lighting your virtual appointments.

Can your clients see your eyes and other non-verbals during their virtual appointment? I finished up a busy morning of virtual appointments today and thought of the big difference between virtual and live client coaching meetings.  Non-verbal communication can be extremely difficult when you are working virtually.
