@Chris Ewald As the title states - how can we help you in your community? Where do you see this community going in 2026? Edit* How can we help Chris answer: What value would this community get out of a experienced sales, leadership, master life coach, certified 10x business coach? If this community can help me answer that question, that would be very helpful.

I use Google Gemini 3 and Nano Banana to create images. I like this one!

We are living in a culture that has drifted from its true north. Do this exercise with me: Name the top three "leaders" that pop into your head. Go. Now, look at that list. What defines them? If we are honest, most of those names are defined by their bank accounts or their business empires. Since the 1980s, we have been conditioned to equate "leadership" with "financial conquest." There is nothing wrong with making money. If that is your path, own it. But we cannot pretend that financial accumulation is the pinnacle of human success. It is not enough. I recently stepped into a role as a full-time coach and leader, and I fell in love with it. But when I looked for others to join me—to step up and lead—I was met with silence. Not a single hand went up. Why? Because everyone understands the unspoken truth: True leadership requires sacrifice. Most people are willing to work hard for their own success, but very few are willing to sacrifice that personal glory for the success of the team. We see this void everywhere—from Wall Street to Washington, from corporate boardrooms to our own neighborhoods. We have become a society focused inward, fighting only for our own families. But we are called to be bigger than that. We need a shift. We need people brave enough to say that success isn't just about what you keep; it's about what you give. We have a leadership void, and it is waiting for people with the courage to fill it. Step up. Be better. Lead.

So this happened. Originally, I thought combing the two books I wrote into a cool name would be a great start. But, it did not relate to the content. So, welcome to The Value Edge Coaching Group. Simple, concise, and exactly what this group is about. Same group, new updated name.

A quick update for the community. I have been working on a coaching course that will be in the classroom. I finished the videos for week 1-4 this weekend. I am currently editing video and adding worksheets to the class pages. It will be a 12-week course. I still have some work to do. But, it's the exact course you would get if you hired me as your coach. I typically get $200 per coaching sessions, so it's value will be $2400. And it will be available free of charge. I have been coaching for 30+ years, and this course is the most effective coaching course you will get anywhere. Most coaching courses have a script. This course is my creation, and focuses on you and your values. It is coaching gold. Why do I believe in it so confidently? Because I have coached the wrong way for way too long. I tried other peoples coaching formats. It felt empty. It fell flat. This format aligns YOUR values with your results. It works. Every time I have used it. The course will focus on Value Discovery, Integration, and Activation. It will give you crystal clear decision making tools. And it will be 100% authentic to you. I don't love recording video. Not my jam. So if the videos are the weakness of this course, I apologize in advance. But, I believe it's important for this course. The videos will be 5 minutes or less. I'm keeping my promise to my own short attention span. What will be my ask? Take the course. Do the exercises. Measure your results. If you can't measure it, you can't fix it. Then, please share. Share with one person. Or share with more. If the course provides value, and I know it will, that is the ask. The course will be available before Christmas. Then you may share it for anyone who may have a New Years Resolution. My short attention span tells me this is enough for this post. More to come.
