Episode Summary

What do top performers have in common? They all believe in the power of coaching aka the ultimate success formula.

Some people think having a personal coach is like having a paid friend who nods at everything you say. Spoiler alert: we do more than nod, we also point and sometimes even wave our arms around 🙂

In this episode, we’re demystifying coaching, and why understanding it could be a game-changer for both your career and personal life. We’re going full MythBusters, but without the fancy gadgets or the explosions (insurance doesn’t cover that). We’ll just keep it simple: You listen and take notes as I uncover the truth about why the most successful people have coaches and why you should too.

But before you hit that play button, I just want to be clear on what this episode is NOT: It’s not about me or my business. It’s about the industry and the service of coaching. This is about what you need to know about coaching and whether or not coaching is right for you. Time to dive in!
