The Daily Coach From the NCAA to NBA: Leading With Authenticity and Human Connection
In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we explore the power of authenticity, connection, and courage through the leadership journey of Lindsay Gottlieb.
From middle school quarterback to Final Four head coach to the first NCAA women’s coach on an NBA bench, Gottlieb has broken barriers by staying grounded in one simple truth: this game—and this life—is about people. Her story is a reminder that real leadership is human-first, connection-driven, and built on the courage to be yourself.
This episode challenges us to lead with authenticity, build real relationships, and create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to thrive.
