     We love supporting you in that deep dive and exploration. So that’s why we thought you might be interested in a brand new show that just joined the Mirasee FM Podcast Network. It’s called Once Upon a Business and it's hosted by our good friend and colleague Lisa Bloom, the story coach.

     In Once Upon a Business Lisa does some deep diving as well. She reaches into a fairy, folk or traditional tale and pulls out the business and growth lessons that you can apply to your own coaching and coaching business. 

     To give you a taste of the show, we’re running an episode from that podcast right here in your feed. Melinda chose this particular episode because Lisa talks about a common mistake that coaches make when trying to sell their services and what they should do instead. So just keep listening and you'll hear exactly what the new show is all about.

“At a deeper level, people need so much more than they think they want. And so when we combine truth and story, we combine the ability to give people their desire in the moment, and also their deeper need in the longer term.” – Lisa Bloom
