His research and work focus on coaching millennials and centennials. In a previous episode, John contrasted coaching to mentoring and therapy – and why we badly need a “GI Bill” to spread coaching.

We cover “learning to help” (vs burrito listening); addressing the “ought self”; and how companies and what senior leaders and companies get wrong.
