Business
I got into coaching by accident. This excerpt from my Vroom Vroom Veer podcast appearance tells my personal story – from getting paid to live and work in another country, to my huge crash and burnout, to my more recent comeback. I’ll even tell you why I left Bali in a hurry. Listen in for: How I traveled for a whole year – loved it! Questions – How do I live and work in another country? How do I get a transfer? Took a risk – got transferred to New York! Climbed the corporate ladder How unhappy I was in my marriage The judgments I had about people who did self-help, and how those people cracked my cynicism How I got into coaching – by accident! The marriage I helped save The big sacrifice I made to pursue coaching Spent years diving into the coaching world How I built the world’s largest coaching business How I hit rock bottom; my burnout experience The golden handcuffs I had built for myself “What if I had 6 months to live?” What got me to Bali, and the life I built Teaching myself a programming language so I could write the Get Real app Why I got kicked out of Bali – the scary consequences of something I did there What got me back into coaching Who I serve now and why I love it, and more! *** For show notes and past guests, please visit http://playforreal.life/podcast Sign up for David’s email newsletter and download the 4-Step Tough Conversations blueprint at http://playforreal.life/blueprint See if you qualify for a free discovery session to explore coaching with David at http://playforreal.life/coaching Join the free weekly zoom call to role-play your tough conversations at http://playforreal.life/zoomregister 70% of employees are avoiding a tough conversation.
