In 2020 she began to leverage digital technology, including Zoom calls and Facebook groups, to increase her reach.  By joining Brandon Lucero's messaging course and working with Laura Neisner, Denise was able to successfully launch a webinar in October 2018, which had four registrations.

    Ep.138 - Cultivating a Healthy Relationship with Money for Financial Freedom with Amie Baker

    In this episode, I talk with Amie Baker about how financial decision-making can be difficult, but with the help of financial advisors and money mindset coaches, people can break through their limiting beliefs and take control of their finances. To do this, it is important to reframe our language, thoughts, and beliefs around money,  understanding our past programming and the messages that have been instilled in us from a young age while also looking for new opportunities each day and setting up an automated payment system.  People often avoid taking risks due to the regret risk involved, but personal development can be key in creating the opportunity to take action. Knowing and understanding numbers can also be a great benefit in structuring finances and using money as a tool to achieve goals. Ultimately, people must take responsibility for their financial well-being and explore diverse narratives in order to deviate from traditional ones. By staying focused, recognizing and overcoming fear, and being proactive, financial freedom can be achieved. Key takeaways... Financial decision-making can be difficult but can be helped with the help of financial advisors and money mindset coaches.Quick transformations in our lives can be realized through reframing language, thoughts, and beliefs regarding money.Success with money may be attained by staying mindful and present, questioning yourself, taking physical action, and setting up automated payment systems.Want to connect with Amie?

    Ep.134 - The Impact of AI: How Do We Balance the Opportunities, Risks, and Human Connection?

    In this episode, I discuss with a panel of experts, Todd, Lindsay, Kristen, and Anna, about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As a professional in the online coaching industry, I recognize the growing significance of AI and its potential impact on the field. In this conversation, I aim to provide a balanced perspective on using AI in the online business space by exploring both the opportunities and challenges of this new technology. One important aspect of this discussion is the ethics of AI in your business and marketing. It's crucial that we consider the potential benefits of AI alongside any potential risks and weigh the pros and cons before implementing AI in our coaching business. And let’s not forget the human element of AI in online coaching. While AI has the potential to improve our services and reach a wider audience, it's essential to remember that the coach-client relationship is based on a human connection. So we have to ask ourselves, can we use AI in our business and marketing while maintaining a strong human connection? Key Takeaways AI technology has potential benefits and drawbacks, but it cannot replace the power of the human spirit that comes through in copywriting.It is important to consider the dataset used for training AI, as well as the associated intellectual property rights.Chat GPT can be used as a powerful tool to quickly reformat existing information and expertise into different types of content.Going too far in the direction of tech-driven copywriting can lead to a disconnect between the humans that businesses want to reach.It is essential that the content produced demonstrates qualities such as experience, expertise, authority and trust.Want to connect with the panel?
