Highlights
A few updates:
-
It's taken longer than expected but I'll be resuming new podcast episodes starting Thanksgiving week! Hopefully it'll give you something interesting to listen to during travel and time away from work.
-
I'm looking for more startup leaders to come on the podcast. I'm now experimenting with having anonymous guests to allow for riskier coaching topics. If you have a spicy problem that you'd like to explore in public, let's chat.
-
There's currently one reduced-rate spot available in my practice. These days I mostly work with well-funded clients but this limits who I can partner with, including many who would benefit from executive coaching. If you are a founder who wants to invest in their personal growth but are on a limited budget, reach out to see if we're a good fit.
"It would be easier if I did it myself"
If you find yourself saying this more than a few times in the context of people management, you are almost certainly limiting your ability to scale
