In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit the value of having a “truth teller” in your corner — someone who offers perspective, accountability, and honesty without ego.
From the story of Bill Campbell’s journey from Columbia University’s football coach to legendary Silicon Valley mentor, to Jeff Van Gundy’s role in supporting Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla, we’ll uncover why the best leaders surround themselves with voices that challenge, guide, and sharpen them.
Join us on September 23rd at 2:30 PM EDT / 11:30 AM PDT for a free live seminar on the Five Lessons the Best Leaders Wish They’d Learned Sooner, presented by Michael Lombardi.
