• 02:13 – Geri's ideal client: “My ideal client is a person who is very distracted, frustrated, has a lot of stress, perhaps is fearful of losing their job, and is always disappointing people."
• 03:42 – Her client's biggest challenge: “Is that they struggle to understand that they are not lazy, crazy or dumb. Which most people feel when they don't understand what's going on. And that you can be smart and competent in one area, but really be dysfunctional in another...”
• 05:28 – Geri's #1 insight to help you: "The world today is terribly disorganized and uncertain, which really raises stress and we're going to be driven to distraction. So knowing that these are constant, you then prepare the strategies to defeat these demons and their persistence..."

• 08:32 – Geri's valuable free resource: "If people go to my website, they can sign up for a complimentary 20 minute coaching session. Just to chat and see what is bothering you. Because sometimes just a quick chat will give you just a different perspective...”
