--> Listen on your Smart Device tonydurso.com/mobile or iTunes. Dom Faussette says: I was violent, angry, depressed and became suicidal on the verge of homicidal. I was approximately two and half pounds in to a 5.5 lbs trigger pull when I realized I was not put on earth to take lives, but to save them. I was a COP. Coaching saved my life. Through coaching, I was meeting and exceeding life goals in short periods of time. I’m married to my dream woman, I’ve raced my dream bike (Ducati), I’ve excelled in the corporate arena with 3 Fortune 500 banks. As a Speaker, coaching never crossed my mind. Then a gentleman who practically begged me to coach him as he was on the brink of losing everything approached me.  Shortly thereafter, I dove into the world of Professional Coaching and got certified to Coach.   =Highlights= What made Dom Faussette at ThinkReactLead.com get into the business world of coaching businesses?
