Adam, a growth strategist and certified energy coach, transitioned from a corporate career at companies like Microsoft after realizing high performers were burning out.He coaches executive and emerging leaders, including founders, using tools like Ikigai and the Odyssey Plan to build a holistic vision. His unique approach includes continuous support via text or Slack between one-on-one sessions.Adam's business grows primarily through authentic networking and referrals, as he advises against using paid ads as a starting point. He sees his best investments as learning from past mistakes, such as hiring a lead-gen company without a clear offer. His future goals include reaching $200k in revenue, launching a second book on the concept of "grace," and scaling his visibility through speaking and partnerships.His advice for coaches is to get specific with your offer, protect your energy, and stay visible because "you're only unknown to people that you haven't helped yet."Connect with Adam W.
