Welcome to another episode of Leader by Design, where I, Brendan Rogers, delve into the art of coaching — not as a specialized skill but as an everyday tool that we all wield, often without knowing. Today, we explore how simple acts, like helping a child wear shoes, embody the core principles of effective coaching. Whether you're a business leader, a parent, or simply someone interested in personal development, this episode will shift your perspective on coaching from a professional necessity to a natural part of human interaction.
