There’s something really special about watching someone step into a new season of growth!

We’re so proud to highlight Mary Duke Grubbe, our newly Certified Coach, and her journey through Coach Excellence School. Her reflection on slowing down, asking better questions, and really supporting others captures what this work is about.

What is the Coach Approach? It’s a different way of thinking about sales and service.

Instead of focusing on what to say or how to “close,” it’s about learning how to ask better questions, understand what someone actually needs, and guide the conversation in a way that creates real results.

We’re hosting a small-group, 2-part training on this in April:

📅 April 21 & 23
🕗 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern (US)

It’s interactive, practical, and designed for anyone who sells products or services and wants to improve their client conversations.

If you’ve been wanting to improve how you lead conversations with clients, we're happy to help! (Link in comments!)

If you lead people in any capacity — this matters.

A lot of people think coaching is about having answers.
It’s not.

It’s about asking better questions.
Listening with intention.
Leading conversations that move people forward.

No matter where you spend your day or who you’re leading — strong coaching skills change how people grow and take ownership.

That’s what we teach at Coach Excellence School.
