In this special anniversary episode, we’re turning the mic around! To mark 10 years of full-time coaching through my business, Focus for Growth, I’m stepping into the guest seat. My friend and podcast producer, Richard Dodds, hosts the conversation as we look back on a decade of coaching, entrepreneurship, and leadership development.
Join us as I share insights from ten years of working with growth-minded leaders, building a purpose-driven business, and growing alongside my clients. We explore what it really takes to sustain a coaching practice, how leadership evolves over time, and the mindset shifts that create the most meaningful impact—for individuals and organizations alike.
Whether you're a coach, a leader, or someone navigating your own growth journey, this episode offers valuable takeaways about clarity, resilience, and redefining success.
