In this episode…

Many of us have had coaches or mentors in our lives. Through sports, hobbies, classes, or other activities, coaches have inspired and motivated us to reach our loftiest goals. But coaching doesn’t have to end once we’ve aged and established our careers. In fact, coaches can help us unlock our potential and grow professionally — no matter what industry we’re in. 

As Joe Templin points out, humans tend to become complacent after reaching a goal. However, a coach knows that there’s more on the horizon for you. They can see your potential and remove the things that are interfering with your success. Coaches fuel your fire to become a better version of yourself…even if it’s little by little each day.

In this episode of Advisor Today, Chris Gandy and Suzanne Carawan are joined by Joe Templin, Co-founder and CEO of The Intro Machine, to discuss why coaching is beneficial for professionals. Joe shares what inspired him to start coaching, why discipline and consistency are key to growth, and how a coach can guide you to reach your goals.
