My guest today is David Wood, he’s a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies - including Sony Music, Chanel, and Exxon. David left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to build the world’s largest coaching business and today he’s serving an audience of 150,000 coaches in 12 countries around the globe
David believes that the tough conversations we avoid, are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams - and now prison inmates - to create amazing results and deep connection, one tough conversation at a time
I wanted to bring David on the show to find out how he made the transition from his Park avenue job to building his coaching business, how he helps his clients specifically and why he thinks tough conversations are the key to our success
