If you are a coach who is looking for a business opportunity, and I'm talking about a proven business opportunity. this is the most incredible opportunity. I'm so excited to bring it to you. let me share with you about the Design Live Thrive Summit. I'll talk about who it's for, what you would get from being part of the summit, right? What's in it for you, and then I'll talk about what you can do to get started as a speaker in the Design Live Thrive Summit. So if we don't know each other, I'm Debbie Shaddid. I've been helping coaches build and grow profitable coaching businesses. In 2023, I was thinking about our clients and I thought, what else can I do to help clients? And I decided, you know what? I'm gonna help them gain expert status. I'm gonna help 'em grow their audience by creating a summit for women who are interested in coaching, for women who want to find out about coaching, but they don't wanna schedule a consultation call. So I created the Design Live Thrive Summit. if you are a coach who is saying, I need a big business building opportunity. That's what this summit is. It's an opportunity for you to do things faster and easier and bigger in a way that you've never done it before. So this is for coaches who need clients. Maybe you've never sold a paid client. You don't even know how to get a consult. Everything you've tried has not worked. You have not been email marketing. You can't figure out how to get somebody to hire you, but you are committed to being a coach. You have a dream of maybe even speaking, but you're terrified to do it. We have sold about half of our spots and we're gonna close enrollment this month. So this is an opportunity for you to be an expert. It is an opportunity for you to get exposure beyond the people that you know. It is an opportunity for you to get booked calls and to sell your coaching. 85% of our speakers booked coaching calls within the first 48 hours of the summit. We even had a client yesterday who booked a coaching call from the summit. That was two months ago. Can you imagine she still is getting clients on our calendar? Then this is an opportunity for you to sell your coaching. We had coaches who spoke at that summit who came outta the summit with 20 calls booked on their calendar with nine calls booked on their calendar. 13, 11. Imagine what that would do to your business. We had two coaches who sold coaching before the summit even happened. How did that happened? Well, people in their world saw 'em as experts. They said, Hey, I'm a speaker at the Design Live Thrive Summit, and all of a sudden their credibility was elevated, Which is why I put together the Design Live Thrive Summit. I wanted to help you be a respected coach, and that summit has done it. I'm telling you what, we had a coach Sue, who was in our first summit in 2023, who actually works as a full-time coach for a company. She's a very successful coach and it is also her career. Once her dad figured out that she was speaking at the summit, he said, oh my gosh, like you really are an expert. How funny is that? She already does it full time. So that is an example of what happens. When you have the ability to say, I've been selected as a speaker for the Design Live Thrive Summit for women, it is your chance to be in front of women who are craving change, who are interested in learning from you You also have a chance to have this talk that we help you script. We teach you how to record, and you leave the summit with an edited video and a funnel built You use the video to get people into an email series where they get your freebie and we write all the emails for you. We also help you with your marketing. We actually create all of the social media graphics, all the captions, we write all the emails with your information on it. We teach you how to schedule it, how to post it, all of it, you guys, this is all available to you. This is what makes our summit the most incredible opportunity that I've ever seen presented to coaches. So if you want to grow your coaching business, if you're like, okay 2026 is my year. You have to start right now. The window is short to get started with us because we have to help you write your talk. We have to help you with the marketing. We teach you all of this. We review it all. We make sure that you are on track to be seen as an expert. So if you're ready, let's connect. We do have two summits a year. We're already half filled of our spaces. We have a couple of weeks left for enrollment, so if you wanna learn more about the Design Live, thrive Summit, if you wanna know how it's gonna help you, then get on a call with me. This is an opportunity that is unlike anything. I'm actually gonna link in the show notes and right below this video, if you're watching us on YouTube, I'm gonna link all kinds of videos or podcast episodes that you can listen to from past summit speakers. I wanna read to you one last thing, a testimony that we received just last Friday. She said, oh my God, oh my God. I have officially made my first sale of my highest package in my program. I'm seeing my first full payment into my business checking account. I am so excited that this day has finally come. I wanna thank you for. Putting this together. Now, let me give you a backstory. This particular client has been working on her business for over two years without selling any clients. When she came to the summit and she got to work on this, she learned how to create this beautiful talk she presented at the summit just two months ago. She's actually one of the two people who got a client before the summit. Now she's actually fully booked. Her first sale of that big package was $3,500. This is available to you. Listen to the other episodes, but don't waste any time. Our summit is gonna fill up and I want you to have a spot. So if you think you knew what a summit is. My friend, you didn't know what this summit was all about. The design Live, thrive Summit is not only an incredible experience for those of you who want to attend, but it's also an opportunity, really an opportunity of a lifetime for you to be a speaker and to grow your business. I'll close with this. Our clients tell us, you know what? There was my business before the summit. Like I thought I had a business. And then there's the business after the summit. When I do have a business, when I have people on my calendar booking consultations, when I have clients I'm working with, when I'm emailing people, 'cause I've grown an email list. When I'm marketing, when people see me as an expert, I finally have the business. That I really wanted and I love it. if you're ready to commit to go all in, ready to make 2026, the most magical year. Get on my calendar. Let's talk about how I can support you. We are there for you. No matter how terrified you are. We're there to hold your hand and to make sure that you're able to present a beautiful talk at the Design Live Thrive Summit happening the first part of February, 2026. We are in the works. Creating all of that for our clients right now. So join us, debbie shad.com/schedule. Do not wait. We will sell out our speaking spots for the upcoming summit. We'll talk to y'all soon. Have a beautiful day. Bye-bye.
