Recording of Mike Jaffe, The Human Wake Up Call, on Leading Coaches’ Center Mastermind

Suzi Pomerantz

On January 25, 2012 we kicked off the year with 39 leading coaches signed up to hear the inspirational and breathtaking story of Mike Jaffe, who worked at the World Trade Center on the very floor where the first plane struck the building on 9/11.  In fact, as he shares in his story, the plane hit his desk.  He shares his story with us along with his strategies and tools for creating your own personal transformational wake up call and how to apply that to your work, your life, your coaching clients, and yourself.
