In Part Two of Clint's conversation with Alisa Cohn, top-ranked executive coach and author of “From Start-Up to Grown-Up,” the discussion turns from personal leadership to organizational leadership.

Alisa shares practical advice for leaders who want to better understand their impact, give more effective feedback, build stronger cultures, and create the structure necessary for growth. She explains why difficult conversations are often acts of service, how trust is built in remote and hybrid environments, and why the most successful leaders continuously make time to reflect and learn.

Whether you're leading a startup, managing a growing team, or simply looking to become a more effective leader, this conversation is packed with actionable insights you can put to work immediately.
