From Corporate Trainer to Global Coaching Leader

Описание: Marcia Reynolds is a pioneer. She signed up for coach training in 1995 — before the ICF had a single competency published — and went on to become its 5th President. Today she's a published author (6 books), a certified speaking professional, and a sought-after coach in 47 countries.

In this conversation, David and Marcia dig into what it really takes to build a sustainable coaching business, why most coaches fail before they even start, and why the next decade is actually the greatest opportunity for coaches in history.

🌏 How she went from corporate trainer to helping leaders across 47 countries
💡 The #1 mindset shift coaches need to make (and most don't)

📖 What's different about her updated book Coach the Person, Not the Problem (2nd Edition)
