I was in a meeting last week and somehow got to talking about what I would do different if I went back into coaching baseball. As I reflected, there were two things that came to mind. First, I spent alot of time on stuff that didn’t really matter…the extra detail work of trying to find […]
Carla always came to our sessions prepared. Bullet points. Status updates. Action items. On paper, she was crushing it. But under the surface, something wasn’t landing.

Jared sat across from me, arms crossed, lips pressed into a thin line. The numbers didn’t lie—his performance was lagging—but he was quick to explain why: the market was slow, his team was green, and corporate wasn’t providing enough support.
