Appreciation for
Coaching Business School
Michael Bolognino
It sounds like hyperbole but it's a challenge for me to articulate just how impactful Levina has been on me.
Before working with Levina, my coaching practice felt like a roller coaster—I was caught in a cycle of confidence followed by deep doubt. I was committed to building my business on my own terms, but I wasn’t sure if it was actually possible.
The coaching industry can be fear-driven, with many programs preying on coaches' anxieties, selling the idea that success comes from building email funnels and promising scores of new clients and revenue. But that didn’t sit well with me—I left a 20-year career in marketing because I wanted to be a coach in full service of other human beings, not get stuck in an endless cycle of content creation that would do little to serve my clients and only pull me away from the work that truly mattered.
That’s exactly why I was drawn to Levina—her approach is completely different. She doesn’t sell fear or impossible promises. Instead, she grounds everything in the power of relationships and trust—a core value of mine and the very reason I became a coach in the first place.
Working with Levina has transformed my practice. I recouped my investment within the first month and a half, steadily grew my client base, and confidently raised my rates. But more than that, I’ve moved beyond self-doubt to clarity—clarity about who I am as a coach, who my ideal clients are, and how to build my practice in a way that feels on my own terms and sustainable for the long run.

Living in the mountains of China and dedicating myself to internal martial arts, I struggled to align my coaching work with my spiritual practice. Despite having a unique offering, I lacked clear structure and found myself scattered across multiple projects, wasting energy on marketing and wondering what to do. I was growing disillusioned with coaching, finding 99% of it superficial and misaligned with true depth.
Working with Levina revealed what mastery looks like in coaching - the same refined precision I've spent years cultivating in martial arts, but applied to business. She helped me strip away the noise and focus on the essential, showing me how business could be an extension of my practice rather than a distraction from it. Most surprisingly, she helped me resolve my long-standing resistance to money, showing me how financial success could support rather than compromise my deeper mission.
The results have been profound - I've tripled my income while deepening relationships with my clients. Almost all have re-signed, and I've found renewed enthusiasm for coaching. My business now operates with the same vibration as my martial practice, allowing me to maintain my intensive training schedule while serving clients at a higher level.

“I used to struggle to invite people to work with me. I was caught up in ‘What will people think?’ and ‘Is my coaching even that valuable?’ CBS didn’t just give me a quick fix—it gave me the experience to shift my entire belief system. Now, making proposals and saying my rates is effortless because I know the value I bring. It’s a no-brainer.”
