The Book Study meets on Tuesdays at 12:00pm AZ time (1:00pm NM time) via Zoom for 1 hour. The meetings will be facilitated by our facilitators, and participants are invited to select a chapter(s) to present each week.
Join us to increase your knowledge and enjoy lively discussions with a small group of fellow coaches.
Join us as we explore
Gay Hendricks’ transformational guide to breaking through our internal limits and stepping into a life of greater purpose, creativity, and ease.
In
The Big Leap, Hendricks introduces the powerful concept of the
“Upper Limit Problem” - the unconscious patterns that hold us back when things start going well. Through engaging stories and practical insights, he shows how we can recognize these self-imposed ceilings and move into our Zone of Genius, where our natural talents and deepest passions converge.
This book is perfect for coaches, leaders, and anyone committed to personal growth. Together, we’ll dive into what it means to
expand our capacity for success, joy, and impact - and what it takes to stay there.
