Coach Business

What do coaching and commercial fishing have in common? More than you might think. In today's episode, I relive my time on a commercial fishing boat with Captain and long-time friend, Tony Moran. Like many guests of the show, Tony is an amazing human and has his own unique way of doing things... Listen in as we talk about: - How to find and take advantage of the opportunities that surround you - Your responsibility, as a boss, to the people you hire - Following the money AND enjoying the heck out of your job - How being efficient really pays off - And, why everyone should find a great mentor Tony says, "where I live and work is one of the most beautiful places on the planet." I agree... the scenery and marine life we got to see every day on the boat was one of my favorite parts as well. Sit back and let us tell you about it! ----- Tony Moran is the Captain of the Tacoma. He resides in Petersburg, AK (where I'm from). And, has a 1600 Ton Master’s license - enabling him to operate the BIG boats. He supplies to Trident Seafoods. And, is very passionate about/would love us all to take a look at a cause that is near and dear to his heart: Stopping the Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay (https://stoppebbleminenow.org/). ----- For more business fun and exploration, as well as behind-the-scenes on each episode, join us over at The Playground - a free Facebook group for coaches.

At this point, I have recorded about 15 episodes and there are a few things I've learned. Every once in a while, I'll drop a behind-the-scenes/bonus episode, because I love to be let in on other people's process - what they're up to, what they're learning, how they're going to shift and change as a result. So, I thought I'd do the same for you. It's all part of the FUN! ----- For more business fun and exploration, as well as more behind-the-scenes, join us over at The Playground - a free Facebook group for coaches/business owners (https://www.facebook.com/groups/caryngillen).

Today's episode features my friend, Meredith Holley. She's a lawyer, life coach, and the founder of Eris Conflict Resolution. The work that she's doing in the world is so unique and important - I can't wait to share it with you! I'd encourage you to listen today not only for how the thoughts and ideas we discuss might apply to you, but how they could also benefit and be applicable to someone you know. Meredith is a cultural health expert who helps employees stop toxic work environments and sexual harassment without losing their jobs. Her practice is very client-focused and explores the myriad of options that are available in situations where it can often feel like there aren't any good ones. The problems we can face in the workplace are serious (especially for folks who hold a marginalized identity). But, there is hope. The stories Meredith shares, about her own and some of her clients' experiences, are a great example. I hope you enjoy this conversation. And, I would encourage you to check out more about what Meredith is up to at ErisResolution.com. She is also gifting listeners FREE ACCESS to both of her books: Career Defense 101: How to Stop Sexual Harassment Without Quitting Your Job (CareerDefense101.com) The Inclusive Leader's Guide to Healthy Workplace Culture (HealthyWorkplaceCulture.com) ----- As always, if you are enjoying the podcast, we'd love it if you would subscribe, rate, and leave a review - we read and appreciate each one!
