Episode Description
It's hard to believe that we are coming up on one year for the show. It's been a great year with wonderful guests, great insights and lots of powerful advice from some of the leading experts. I have received so many positive notes of support for which I am so grateful. And I have received a treasure trove of great questions that I thought I would devote this show to. The themes that resonate with listeners have been issues such as: exactly how do you go about changing a culture? What advice to you have for teaching others to coach as well as how you create a lasting coaching culture through coaching circles and peer coaching? Another frequent theme is what should the new approach to performance excellence look like and how exactly do you go about building global leadership capability. On this show I will be answering these and many other questions with concrete approaches for things that you can do tomorrow.
