From a former 1:1 student
“Working with Alex has been such a breath of fresh air for me – as someone passionate about my coaching and ideas but completely clueless about how to spread the word, I was getting discouraged and feeling like I was spinning my wheels without getting anywhere. Once I got connected with Alex I received thoughtful 1:1 help that was tailored to my needs, resources and information at a pace I could handle, and homework that moved me closer to my goals without ever overwhelming me. Alex got me to create an online course out of content I’d already developed, and made the whole process smooth and painless. What had looked like and insurmountable obstacle became, with her help, something I got through in one week, with results that I’m very proud of! I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
— Anne Boccato, CompassionateTime.comHi, I’m Alex
Hi, I’m Alex. From 2016-2018, I sold my online courses to more than 3,000 learners from 100 countries on Udemy. My background blends academic educational training and real-world course launches. I’ve built my own courses and helped others bring theirs to life, and I’m excited to offer this cohort as a live experience for the first time. We’ll build together in community, with real-time support, shared momentum, and space to learn as we go.
