This is an extra special episode where you’ll get to know more about our podcast co-host, Lauren Wooster! Lauren is a prime example of what it means to lead with heart – choosing to work with leaders and students while still nourishing herself through her love of the outdoors and art.  

Lauren is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach who supports her clients by helping them uncover their unique strengths and values. She helps them use those strengths and values as a guide for making work and life choices that genuinely fit who they are — not just what looks good on paper. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, she helps clients explore the intersection of their values, skills, and interests. She's especially gifted at helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture, stepping back from day-to-day tasks and challenges to identify what's at the center of their frustrations, and choosing where their energy is best spent. And because she believes creativity can be both inspirational and transformative, in this episode you’ll learn about the unique ways she integrates her own personal interests into supporting others.

This season on Coaching Coast to Coast, we’re focusing in on a topic that has continually resonated with our listeners and interviewees – Like-Hearted Leadership! While much of the world focuses on connecting with people who are like-minded, we believe in the power of connecting with people who are like-hearted; people who care about the impact they have and lead with generous,loving spirits.

In season 3, Lauren will interview coaches who lead withheart and hope to inspire their clients to do the same. Meanwhile, Chris will chat with teachers, coaches, healers and other practitioners who are joining forces to support the FreshLeap Life, a community dedicated to helping people heal, grow, and thrive so together can bring more loving, positive energy into the world.
