Coaching goes way beyond just reaching out to someone for help with our vision and goals. It can quite literally retrain our brain, trigger feelings of connection and possibility, and show us how to channel our emotions into fuel that leads to positive results far greater than we can ever imagine. This week’s guest, Dr. Marcia Reynolds, is a Master Certified Coach and president of Covisioning LLC. Marcia is hired by organizations around the globe and is a highly sought after speaker and behavioral scientist. Marcia talks about her new book, Coach the Person, Not The Problem, how a brief stint in jail led her to have the confidence she has to show up fully as herself today, and some of the most important things to know when searching out a career in coaching.

- ● Marcia bonded with the other women in jail and they helped her see her own potential to motivate and inspire others.
- ● The power of “I’ll Show You” is a strong one, and a great coach can help a leader align their actions to gain outcomes that mirror their passions.
