The Coaching Panel

Hi dear friends,

We are nearing again the end of the month, but before we have another panel, I have the real pleasure to be able to interview and have on the show Laurie Santos.

Laurie Santos, The Extreme Dream Queen! International Coach, Speaker, and Seminar Leader

Nothing says extreme more than someone telling it like it is regardless of the consequences, and no other approach gets better results. Laurie A. Santos, CEO of Extreme Dream Training and CoachIng and professional speaker, is known for her sassy, no-nonsense, hit-the-ground-running, run-toward-your-fear approach. Recognizing that honesty and commitment to action are the two must-haves for success, she has created a 4-Step Extreme Dream Program guaranteed to help people create a life and business they love.

Laurie helps professionals in every industry discover their Extreme Dream and go after it no matter how radical the measures must be and especially when life deals out difficult circumstances! Encouraging her clients to use their fear as fuel and turn their obstacles into opportunities, The Extreme Dream Queen enables them to break through old ways of thinking and acting so she can help them develop habits of mind and body that will absolutely and immediately ensure their success. Laurie’s combination of her Extreme Dream principles, life coaching methods and training in Universal Laws along with her extreme personality make her a coach like no other!

With a Master in Administration of Justice, teaching credential, a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology, 10 years of probation experience with the most dangerous and cunning of criminals, and two ICF Coach completions (The Coaches Training Institute and The Coaches Training Alliance), Laurie has a deep understanding of human behavior and knows how to support any personality in any environment. As a federal officer and liaison to federal judges, she witnessed that people are hindered only by the stories they create (and stick to) in their own minds, and that change is just a matter of "running toward the fear" and altering habits.

Before committing to full-time work as Chief Extreme Officer of Extreme Dream Training and Coaching, she pursued her own extreme dream (one she admittedly ignored for 20 years!) and moved to Spain and Portugal to volunteer in a small government-owned radio station where she wrote and recorded tag lines and commercials and conducted interviews in both Spanish and English for six months. Laurie loves to brag this was really an Extreme Dream because she quit her high-paying job, rented out her house, all to earn only 120 Euro per month!

Today, Laurie coaches individuals and businesses full-time as well as conducts powerful seminars. She also is a radio show host on Extreme Dream Radio where she features ordinary people doing extraordinary things once weekly in an effort to inspire her listeners to take on risk in order to reap the biggest rewards. The Extreme Dream Queen lives in Hollywood, CA and is finally working on her first book…her new Extreme Dream!

Niche: She works with folks who are finally ready to live out their Extreme Dream fully but are scared to death to go after it and make it happen. An extreme dream is that dream which feels like there is too much rish involved that the individual or business knows they will have to buck the system, go against the grain and do unconventional things in order to make it happen…in other words, it feels extreme but they know the pay-off will be their extreme dream realized.

Target audience: Entrepreneurs, adventure travelers, folks in career transition

Current clients: She mostly works with entrepreneurs, corporate burn-outs and small business owners.

Join Laurie and myself this coming Tuesday at 20:00 UTC LIVE on Radio Coaching. It is your chance to listen to and learn from Laurie Santos.

Have an outstanding day!
