This episode, I’m joined by Dr. Mike Palanski from MPower2Lead to discuss why he prefers a coaching work structure to a traditional consulting framework, ways we can reduce time spent on business development and marketing, and the value of having your own coach.

Quotables:

18:02 – “A good coach, it’s not the knowledge that person has, although sometimes it is. But it’s that ability to listen intently and hear things that you’re saying that you don’t even hear yourself and reflect that back.”
22:57 – “Sometimes it’s easy to focus on ten steps down, instead of the step that’s right in front, and doing a lot of things that aren’t necessary right now at this particular stage.”
