Tabatha Coffey
What Does Fear Cost You?
Do you have fears? Of course you do. We all do. What have those fears and doubts cost you and stopped you from doing in your life and career? 90% of people Tabatha works with are paralyzed by fear and this stops them from moving forward. Like all emotions, fear is also just an emotion that needs to be checked in with. Not something that should paralyze you and stops you from doing all you are capable of doing. Do you feel stuck and question yourself? Tabatha will teach you how to break through fears, how to move through it, to have courage, and use these tools for your strength, for growth in yourself and your career.
