Leadership is a journey of continuous learning, reflection, and growth and few tools accelerate that journey like coaching. In this authentic fireside chat, three YPO members share how coaching has transformed their leadership from three unique perspectives: as those who have been coached, those who have studied coaching to elevate their leadership, and those who now serve as coaches themselves.
