Today’s episode is with Nick Goldberg, the Founder and CEO of EZRAx, a leading digital coaching company (learn more about them below). Our conversation today is all about coaching and leadership. It turns out that not all leaders make great coaches, and not all coaches are suited for leadership.
Goldberg emphasizes that in the realm of business, unlike sports, coaching isn't about providing direct answers but guiding leaders to discover solutions themselves.
We discuss how coaching in the workplace shapes adaptive leaders to navigate the complexities of modern-day business challenges. The spotlight also shines on coaching's evolution from being just a corrective measure to a powerful tool for leadership enhancement, emphasizing the importance of tailored sessions that resonate with leaders, driving both personal growth and business success.
In this episode, you will learn:
