From the newsroom

Today marks the end of a harrowing week for thousands of residents in Whatcom and Skagit counties.

In lieu of my usual Friday event roundup, I'm taking the opportunity to highlight ways you can support those impacted. Click here for the full roundup.

Those in a position to make financial donations should consider supporting Skagit Community Foundation's Skagit Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund, and Whatcom Community Foundation's Resilience Fund.

United Way of Skagit County has also mobilized its emergency relief fund. Family Promise of Skagit Valley is accepting in-kind donations for its emergency flood shelter. Check the full story for a list of requested items. The American Red Cross is always looking for volunteers to aid in recovery efforts. See their website for more information.

Finally, if you were planning to attend an event this weekend, here's a roundup of delays and cancellations. Stay safe out there — and if you have the opportunity, consider lending a helping hand.

Hi, it's Courtland.

I want to give you a heads-up about something important happening this Wednesday at 4:30 pm EST.

We're hosting a brand-new live session where I'll be unveiling the SUCCESS Coaching™ Certification Program — the next evolution of the coaching methodology we introduced last week. If you attended, you already know how powerful the framework is. If you missed it, this is your chance to step into the deeper work.

This session will go beyond the framework and into what it really takes to create transformation at scale — for clients, teams, and even yourself.

We'll walk through:

• The core principles behind the new SUCCESS Coaching™ Certification
• Why this approach is resonating with coaches and leaders across industries
• The identity, mindset, and influence foundations we built this program on
• How to know if this path is right for your professional growth

If you're someone who leads, teaches, guides, or inspires others… this conversation will expand your perspective.

Save your seat here

Looking forward to seeing you there.
