Listen to the Podcast
Shownotes
In this episode, I’ll discuss a topic that many of us have encountered in our professional journeys – the transition from being a manager to becoming a leader coach. You know, many folks see the appeal of this shift, but there's often a gap between where they are and where they want to be. We'll explore the reasons behind this shift and the five key elements that can help us make this transformation. Additionally, we'll discuss some common challenges that leaders may face on their path to becoming effective coaches.
