12 Super Fabulous Summer Resources for Coaches and Leaders — Some free, others not, but all are amazing!

There are so many cool learning opportunities from around the world for leaders and coaches over the next few weeks that I just had to curate them all in one place to share with you!  A dozen!  Some are freebies and others are fee-based, but all are most excellent and will serve you well! In full disclosure, I have friendships and affiliate relationships with all these folks, and you should know I only agree to affiliate relationships with people I trust, respect, and value their expertise.  I scour the vast sea of resources out there to bring you the best, so this list is curated based on what I know will best serve you as coaches, as leaders, as leading coaches, and as business owners. I can personally vouch for each of these, or I wouldn’t bother sharing them with you! Feel free to share with others you know who could benefit from any of these and come back to this page often to keep yourself sharp this summer!  The top 3 are time-sensitive, the rest you can take your time exploring.  🙂  Enjoy!
