What if you had a great mentor supervising your work to help you become a better coach? Our guest this month, Erica Goos, shares her experience with supporting coaches with supervision and the impact it has had on her clients.

As a possibility, choice is fundamental and essential to true fulfillment. Most people drift along life feeling powerless and it's all a result of the choices they make, not the circumstances that are present. This month's guest, Alex Dumas, shares how he felt powerless for most of his life and how coaching awakened him to the possibility of choosing to live powerfully and abundantly. We celebrate his journey from depression and drug use to making a massive impact as a coach and speaker who has helped transform thousands of lives around the world into recognizing their own brilliance and superpowers... and he's just getting started. About the guest: Alex Dumas is the CEO of Abundance Daily Coaching and Vice-President of the BIPOC Coach Collective. He is an expert in sales and marketing with a track record generating six figures in revenue and six-figure launches. He has a background in Psychology and a decade of leadership experience in the Nonprofit world. Alex also knows what it’s like to do everything that’s expected of you but still feel empty. He struggled for years but hid behind jokes and seeking approval, so he could fit in. It was really a mask for the pain and loneliness he constantly felt. And it led to using drugs for years and keeping anyone who wanted to get close at arm’s length. Alex is now a husband and a father, with years of deep personal work behind him. Since 2018, he has partnered with his wife, Sarah—who has been a consultant to start-up companies and companies with over $80M in revenue—to create a high-performance business and consulting firm. Leaders who are committed to creating a significant lifestyle and a high-performance business are the ones who call Alex.
