In this episode, we explore why coaches should intentionally take on “side quests” as part of their professional development. We break down how stepping outside your main role can sharpen skills, reveal blind spots, and accelerate growth when done with purpose. We also reflect on our own experiences with side quests and how to approach them intentionally so they actually translate into better coaching.
