Coaches

Here, you can find more background info and topics of interest for the coaches. (Note that not all of the coaches will be at all of the events.)

While we aren’t officially hosting 1-on-1 coaching sessions after the workshops, many BGI coaches also do individual coaching. Folks who are taking on new clients have provided contact links below, and you’re welcome to reach out and set that up!
