New to Coaching and Can’t Stop Listening

Thank you for your book, “The Art of Coaching”, and for making these podcast episodes. These have kept me energized, focused, and grounded in my new role as a coach. I also recently learned that my former coach is a huge fan of yours, and it turns out I have been indirectly affected (in the best way) by your teachings for years.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I just started listening and looking forward to listening to the powerful topics.

Thank you!

Your podcasts are so relevant and inspiring! I am a retired classroom teacher and professional development facilitator. I am now a mindfulness facilitator in public schools for principals, teachers, and parents. I love the emphasis on self care, mindfulness and bringing our best selves to our work. This message is so refreshing and so necessary.
Thank you for being a bright light in this work!
