Finding Joy and Setting Goals

In this episode of the L&P Podcast, I speak with John Larson, the founder and CEO of CoachAccountable, a digital coaching platform designed to make coaches better and help clients get more out of coaching. Half coach, half coder, John has dedicated his life to improving the experience of coaching for coaches and their clients. He lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife and kids.

In our conversation, we discuss:

• What is coaching
• What coaches do (and don't do)
• The role of coaching in facilitating learning and performance
• John's journey into coaching and building CoachAccountable
• The shortcomings of many coaching conversations
• The importance of goals, metrics, action plans, and session notes
• What makes for an effective coach
• And much more...
