Coaching, Listening and Leadership with Sumit Gupta

This episode is all about coaching and leadership. If you want to get better at either of those, this is the episode for you. 🙌

Sumit shares the value of having a personal coach, how listening is a gift and how each coaching skill is also a leadership skill.

My favourite learning is how he breaks down communication into different conversations. Doing so allows you to focus on which conversations are most challenging for you, and get better at having them.

Enjoy 🎙
