An Episode Your Audience Will Love
Your podcast audience already knows and trusts you. If you are willing, Shirzad can help you to deepen that trust even more.
You can take the 5-minute Saboteur Assessment prior to the recording. Shirzad could then coach you about your top Saboteurs during the podcast.
Your willingness to engage in this conversation would be illuminating and inspiring to your audience. It normalizes the fact that we all have Saboteurs and we all could improve. And it deepens the trust and connection with your audience.
If you choose to, you can then gift the Saboteur Assessment to your audience (no charge), so they benefit from the same. Most report lasting benefits.
(If this is not of interest, no worries. It’s optional).
