8. Do You Need A Coach?

Welcome back to the Mission First People Always podcast! On today’s episode, we invite you to carefully consider an important personal and professional question: Do I need a coach? Your answer could change the trajectory of your career and greatly benefit those around you. In order to answer this question, you need to understand what coaching is, how a coaching relationship works, and whether there are any tangible benefits you can expect from coaching. 

To answer these questions, I’m joined by Dr. Gary Reinecke, an International Coach Federation master certified coach who has coached hundreds of leaders during his more than 30 years as a coach. Whether you are actively looking for coaching and accountability or if it has never crossed your mind, we hope this episode leaves you inspired and motivated to find the tools and resources you need to reach higher and hit the goals you set for yourself and your organization.
