106. How to Overcome Your Fears of Coaching! In this episode I asked a group of C-level managers what is their fear of coaching, and their fear of their management team coaching. It was amazing to see the results of this discussion. In this episode I share some of the fears of these managers, and the fears for their management team regarding coaching. It made me pause and consider the fears that managers had about coaching. It has widened my perspective of how fear can keep managers from coaching and leading their team.  We must replace that fear with hopes, dreams and aspirations. What will you replace your fears with? More fears and greater fears or more hopes, wishes dreams and aspirations.
