How To Develop Self-Mastery In Consulting With Mike Kitko: Podcast # 133
A lot of consultants are hired for their expertise in a certain field and their familiarity with specific subject matters or jargon, but one of the more underrepresented aspects of consulting is building mastery over oneself.

Joining Michael Zipursky is Mike Kitko, an executive self-mastery coach. Mike talks about helping his clients form a better idea of who they are over the time they get to spend with him, and how this makes a difference in the way they think and run their business.
