Despite being a certified coach, I still haven't figured this Life thing out, but keep experimenting :).
My approach incorporates tried-and-tested tools
My beliefs
Ideas only get you so far, execution is what helps you win
You can't outsource leadership, only facilitate it
It always comes down to people and their ability to grow
You don't need to reinvent the wheel, some things are called 'best practice' for a reason
The quality of your questions determines the quality of your leadership
