Value Over Validation in Coaching

My conversation last year with founder and coach Brian Whetten was one of the more insightful discussions I've had. This was reflected in both the feedback and the number of listeners we drew.

Brian and I sat down for two more in-depth conversations. The first explores how to make money with integrity as a coach. The second is a broader discussion of what “authentic leadership” looks like.

Why is Brian worth listening to on these topics? He got a Berkeley PhD in computer science, was a successful Silicon Valley founder, and burned out twice, all by thirty. His own acute trauma then led him into six years of full-time training, coaching, counseling and a master's in spiritual psychology. In the 20 years since, he’s become one of the most senior executive coaches in the country and he makes an extremely comfortable living doing so. His engineer's brain is also able to illustrate profound concepts in simple terms I can understand.
