3 Months of One-on-One Coaching with Tony Esteves
3 Months of One-on-One Coaching with Tony Esteves
Pledge: C$1,500.00
Let's meet bi-weekly for three months to move your life and career forward. If you'd like to focus on learning the skills on how to meet people, we can do that too. You'll be in the driver's seat and Tony will be your guide from the side along for the ride. The package is specially priced only for the crowdfunding campaign.
Testimonial:
I’ve known Tony for decades and have always appreciated the quick wit, high energy and infectious personality that infuse everything he does. Several years ago, I hired Tony as a career coach. Employing varied methodologies, he guided me through activities and exercises that led to monumental shifts in my perspectives on my career. It’s not overstating it to say that Tony’s coaching changed my life—he helped me to harness my innate talents and gave me the courage to pursue a career path that I had thought about for years but was too scared to embark on. Eight years later, I’m running a successful and very busy business, and the lessons I learned while working under Tony’s tutelage continue to help me to shape my path forward. If you have the opportunity to work with Tony, do not hesitate for a minute. I have no doubt that his playful and profound wisdom can help to shape your future too.

Details and Progress
I have been a little quiet on the crowdfunding campaign trail as of late because I received my completed, copy-edited manuscript back from my editor, Erin.
This turned out to be quite an enjoyable distraction. I spent 46 hours over the past two weeks further refining the changes, words and details within my (already finished) book. I was happy to invest that time, because as our world is changing so quickly, so were some of the concepts that I had written about. And I really want to this to be an up-to-date handbook for people to use now.
So after more than 7792 comments and changes, the book is now back in Erin's very capable hands for the final clean up, and I'll transition into the production stage. How very exciting! Thank you for the support.
I wish you a superb Wednesday.
20% Funded!
Yesterday was Day 4 of this crowdfunding campaign. Due to some very generous boosts in the early days, it has now been %20 funded by crossing the $3000 mark. On this Thanksgiving weekend, I am sincerely grateful for the 19 people who have made contributions thus far to help me get this work out into the world. The campaign will go on for 26 more days. Let's see what we can achieve in that time.
An Exciting Start!
Yesterday was a mammoth day. One of the sections in the book is about how you can use HELP to start an interaction with someone. I also touch on the importance of being able to receive help. There was a great deal of mental and emotional build-up in launching this campaign because I'd have to walk my talk. I had to ask for help.
And amazingly, people like you are helping. Thank you! So after Day 1, the campaign is over $2000 boosted and I am so grateful. The image is of me when I was walking around Calgary in my Mirror Suit giving out Talk2MorePeople stickers in the celebration that I'd launched. It is a screenshot from my @Talk2MorePeople Instagram story which I'll create from time to time during this month. Tomorrow I'll upload the crowdfunding video to Facebook. Let's see if it gains some traction...
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for exploring this campaign. You are helping end the epidemic of loneliness on the planet.
I promise to make it worth your while.
This is the beginning of a wonderful adventure...
It is a little after midnight on this Wednesday morning, October 7th and I'm rather excited. I was approved to run an ATB BoostR campaign over 18 months ago - back when I thought I was just about finished my book! Well, now I am finished (aside from final tweaks with my amazing editor, and proofreading and layout, and design, and deciding on the title etc...)
Well, now it's really CLOSE to being finished and will be printed early in the new year, and that has me very excited. Not only to complete a big project but because I know that the material in this book will help people build their experience of human connection.
Thank you for supporting this campaign. It is my intention for this month to be a pile of fun for anyone who comes along for the ride.
And you are invited to a LIVE interview TODAY. Join us at noon (MST) on Facebook Live if you are available as I will be a guest on "Conversations with Dune and Friends" There will be juggling, FYI.
