Changing gears

Good morning! I'm assembling an exhaustive database of ~1,000 executive coaches. Working with an executive coach has been life-changing for me as a startup founder. But, there's no exhaustive resource or directory of coaches that anyone can look at to find a good fit coach. That's why I decided to build it.

Do you want me to include you in the resource? Comment "Add me" on my LinkedIn post. I'll add you and DM you the resource.

Do you know a great executive coach? Tag them in the comments to make sure they're included.

Now, on to today’s tips…
