Laurie Santos is the Chief "Extreme" Officer of Extreme Dream Training and Coaching Int'l and the founder/creator of www.coachesjointventure.com, an online exclusive membership community for coaches seeking to have blast-off practices. As a Certified Coach and Trainer, Laurie believes in using extreme methods to help her clients (entrepreneurs, small businesses, and executives) bust through conventional thinking and break the status quo. She is a sassy, no-nonsense, humorous, compassionate, and amazingly skilled Coach and Trainer. Laurie knows it all too well what it means to make big sacrifices for the higher good as she gave up her 10-year very reputable career in federal law enforcement in order to pursue her passion of living in Europe. She gave it all up (including moving 3000 miles away from her fiance for 6 months!) to live in a pueblo with no cell phone, pager, computer and her only method of communication was a pay phone where she could only make 20-minute calls per week. When she returned to the States to set up her business, it was six hours from where she had been working for the past 10 years and she did not have any contacts. Laurie is now living in Hollywood with her fiance, writing her first book and thoroughly enjoys working with extremely dedicated and committed businesses and individuals who are willing to take risk , push themselves past self-imposed limits and who want to soar toward their Extreme Dreams.
