In 2007, while working within Sheryl Sandberg’s Online Sales and Operations
organization at Google, I received a coaching session that changed my life.
This was before the word coaching (and careers revolving around it) was
ubiquitous outside of the sports arena.

In this episode I share more about how that one session helped spark an
entire movement that’s still alive within Google today: an internal
“drop-in” coaching program—to make coaching accessible, easy to sign up
for, and free—for all employees at all levels of the company. I’ll dive
into the big themes and mechanics of how to set this up if you’re hoping to
run a pilot within your organization.

That first coach, Erik, in just two sessions also inspired me to attend
coach training myself in 2008, restart my (at the time) sleeping website
Life After College, and gave me hope that I could be an author someday . .
. and the rest is history :)

Shoutout to Denny Clark for submitting the Listener Q&A that inspired this
