I shared recently that my 40th birthday is this year and that my present to myself was to complete an MS in Organizational Leadership (check out this podcast episode to learn more).

But… I’ve also been thinking about a 40th birthday gift that I want to give to all of my podcast listeners, blog readers, and clients.

In the spirit of lifelong learning, here’s what I decided to do:

Throughout 2024, my 40th year, I’m going to offer a 40% discount on five of my courses. This is officially live now and I wanted to share this as my 40th birthday gift to YOU!

The 40% discount will apply to the following courses:
