In today’s episode, I speak with my good friend Jeri Quinn who I’ve known for several several years from driving improved results. 

In this conversation, We talk about her coaching practice, who she coaches, who should consider using a coach, and much more. The bottom line in this discussion is that as entrepreneurs we can lose sight of what’s most important for our companies, ourselves, and our families – a coach like Jeri helps you refocus your energy and attention on what matters most – not necessarily the squeakiest wheel at that moment in your life.
