Josh Miller has over 350K followers on LinkedIn. He worked his way up to VP in an advertising company. But a chance meeting made him realise his destiny was executive coaching.
Josh works with executive leaders of existing and emerging Fortune 500 companies. He has since developed the 6th most popular course on LinkedIn Learning in 2022.  He has also been a TEDx Speaker and contributed to quality publications like Forbes.
