This episode is a conversation with Charli Turner Thorne. I found this to be a conversation filled with strength and care. Coach Turner Thorne explores the traps of a results-orientation, how this may block servant-leadership, and some of what she calls a lost perspective that led her to take a sabbatical in the middle of her tenure at ASU, and discover greater purpose in her work and life. She also highlights the differences between accountability and shame, blame, and judgment, and the power of a joyful spirit and self-compassion.
Charli Turner Thorne is the Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Arizona State University. Coach Turner Thorne is the winningest coach in ASU women’s basketball history and No. 2 in the Pac-12 in most career wins. As head coach of the Sun Devils, the program has made it to the postseason all but one year since 2001, including a school record six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, two Elite Eight appearances, and three Sweet 16 finishes. ASU’s 14 NCAA Tournament appearances under Coach Turner Thorne are 11 more than what ASU had in the 15 years prior to her arrival in Tempe. The 2020-21 season is the 24th at ASU for Turner Thorne, who has 512 career wins, and has also earned a pair of gold medals coaching with USA Basketball.
