If you run a coaching circle or practice group
I will happily link to your group. To do that please fill in the information as requested on this contact form.
If you know of coaching circle or practice group but do not run it
Please help me to grow a list as a resource to others by either asking the group leader to contact me or telling me about the group so I can invite them directly.
