Finding openness in a closed space may seem contradictory. However, it is where our guests in this episode developed an openness for their own leadership. Michael Paxton and Ryan Humphreys are Leadership Coaches and Factory Managers at the Federal Prison Industries. Together, they share with us how they went beyond the “walls” of the prison environment to connect and support inmates. They each tell their journeys to coaching and what supported their buy-in, by diving deep into the struggles they often face and through gentle nudges that helped them along the way. Looking forward, Michael and Ryan also share their visions for their team and organization as they grow and develop. Join in on this great conversation to discover the importance of coaching in holding that space within the prison walls and beyond.
