This is probably the most honest and authentic episode of the Project Management for the Masses podcast I’ve ever published. Yes, today we will talk about the value of coaching. But there’s much more.
To talk about this topic I bring you the prolific Lara Hogan. She also happens to be my professional coach.
We start with a brief conversation about coaching and how it’s different than mentoring.
From that, we jump into a real-life coaching session between Lara and me. It gets very real, and I hope it gives you an insight of what is like to work with a great coach like Lara.
Lara Hogan
