Today we are so happy to welcome Megan Garretson onto the show to speak about how coaching was a catalyst for her exponential professional growth. Megan is a wife, mom of two, and owner of the Young Scholars Academy. She publicly advocates for the recognition of the work that early childhood educators do, has helped raise over 100 million dollars for Louisiana to spend on childcare, and has been a student of Chris’s for over a year now. In our discussion with Megan, we talk about how coaching helped her discover what she wanted to accomplish and then hone in on it with laser-sharp focus. We talk about the value of finding the smallest actions that lead to the biggest results, learning to work on your business rather than in it, and how much of a change you can make if you take the time to reflect on lessons learned before putting those realizations in action! For all this and many other big lessons that Megan learned that helped her get off the CEO hamster wheel, tune in with us today!
