| 0:00.0 | Hey, we're doing something a little differently today. Bonnie's joining me on this episode and we're reflecting back on some recent episodes to discuss questions, feedback, and insights that have come out of them. This is Coaching for Leaders, episode 781. |
| 0:16.9 | Produced by Innovate Learning, maximizing human potential. |
| 0:25.1 | Greetings to you from Orange County, California. This is Coaching for Leaders, and I'm your host, Dave Stahoviac. |
