It's the first Monday of the month. It's the first Monday of the year and we're responding to questions from the listening community. This is coaching for leaders episode 389.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders and I'm your host. Thanks to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders, and I'm your host, Dave Stahoviac.

Leaders aren't born, they're made, and this weekly show gives you access

to the practical wisdom that will empower you to become a better leader.

Once a month, normally the first Monday of the month, we respond to questions that come in from the listening community.

Dialogue with you is a key component of what coaching for leaders is about

and responding to the things you're thinking about is something that we aim to do on a fairly regular basis.

And most months, I am joined by my wife Bonnie Stahoviac, who tackles many of these questions

with me, and last year we had a guest on the

Q&A episode for the first time Tom Henschel my pal from the look and sound of

leadership podcast for those of you who don't know Tom,

he has been hosting the Look and Sound of Leadership

for, oh gosh, almost a decade now,

and he is joining me this month as well,

stepping in for Bonnie to help me respond to some of the

questions that have come in. Tom I am so glad to welcome me back. Thanks a lot.

I'm glad to be back. One of the great blessings I have had of hosting the show since 2011 is getting to know you.

Every time you're on the show, so many people reach out to me and mention how helpful your thoughts are.

So thank you so much for just being a wonderful guide to so many of us.
