In this episode, we’re back with part two of our conversation with the GM/COO at Medinah Country Club, Robert Sereci.  Robert has profiled his “Top 10 Lessons They Didn’t Teach You in School” and in part one we covered 1-5.  In lessons 6-10, we continue to discuss these critical success skills that can make or break your career.

We get into the difference between coaching and mentoring, and why you need to stop just being a coach, as well as how putting the success of others first will put you on the path to success.
