On the Coaching Conversations podcast, Jim Knight and Jessica Wise come together for their monthly episode of Coaching Q&A, where they talk about Jim's upcoming keynote, “Learning from Experience,” for the 2025 TLC Conference. Their conversation looks at how lessons from life—love, forgiveness, courage, and even the way we use our time—shape who we are and how we coach. Jim shares stories and research that show how everyday choices and genuine relationships influence both learning and living. Coaches are encouraged to consider their own experiences, how those experiences guide their practice, and how they might grow alongside others in the TLC community. And if you can’t be there in person, there’s still time to join TLC virtually and be part of the experience. Thank you for being a part of our community. Feedback: We love hearing from you!
