Today’s guest believes that it is a myth that leadership skills cannot be learned. He knows that most leaders have learned through the school of hard knocks, good training, years of hard work, effective coaching, and from great mentors.
He hosts the Coaching for Leaders podcast, one of the top-rated career podcasts on iTunes, with over 150,000 downloads a month.
He founded Coaching for Leaders Academy, a year-long leadership development cohort for managers, executives, and business owners to develop their leadership excellence — and empower each other through global relationship building.
As a Dale Carnegie instructor, he has led training programs for top organizations, including The United States Air Force, the Boeing Company, and the Northrop Grumman Corporation.
