Learning to lead yourself

To be a great leader, you first have to lead yourself. You have to focus on yourself as a person and understand your traumas and your past.

Today, I'm joined by Mary Jane Walsh, life coach and business coach from New Orleans. We have a candid conversation about coaching sessions with Mary Jane. We detail how Mary Jane was able to dig deep and ask thought provoking questions to help me grow as a leader but more importantly, a person.
