Description

In this episode of The Coaching Podcast, Coach John O’Sullivan reminds us that your influence is never neutral. We dive into his powerful philosophy that the softest pillow is a clear conscience, the wisdom behind his bestselling book Every Moment Matters, and the enduring message from his TEDx talk encouraging parents to simply say, “I love watching you play.” John also shares why he believes team culture is like a circle – where every person has a voice, value, and role in creating success together.
