In my early 20s, I went through a period of self-inflicted struggles—poor communication, academic underperformance, and several personal challenges. At a low point, my sister Jill invited me to live with her, which marked a turning point in my life. Over the next three years, my life changed for the better in almost every way, and it was then that I realized the profound impact of mentorship and coaching. But what makes a great coach or leader? What makes someone not only loved, but respected, and influential? The best leaders strike a balance between high standards and high support, inspiring excellence while providing the necessary guidance. True leadership isn’t about being a drill sergeant or a cheerleader, but about demanding the best while offering empathy and encouragement. Leaders who master this balance foster real growth and lasting impact.
