Let’s GO!! This episode is a special one because I’m stepping into the hot seat to talk about something very near and dear to my heart—my brand-new book, COACHING GREATNESS! This isn’t just another book… this is my coaching manifesto—a no-nonsense blueprint for leaders, coaches, and impact-makers who are ready to take their game to the next level.
In this episode, Kelli Watson, the Head Coach of the Todd Durkin High-Performance Mastermind & CEO of Scriptor Publishing Company, interviews me on the writing of our new best-selling book, COACHING GREATNESS. Kelli doesn’t hold back and dives right-in with asking the hard questions. This is a fiery, behind-the-scenes look of COACHING GREATNESS and I share why I’m so fired-up for this project and why it’s going to impact a lot of coaches, parents, high- performers, athletes, and leaders.
This book isn’t just about my coaching philosophy—it’s a legacy project. In Coaching Greatness, I break down 10 indispensable traits that separate good coaches from truly GREAT ones. And then I share why I included some of those in my “Coaching Tree” to help write Part 2 of the book. These 21 world-class coaches share their hard-earned lessons, raw experiences, and proven strategies to lead with impact and do an awesome job!
Without further ado, let’s dive into the interview now. Here is some of what we talked about and what Kelli asked me in this interview:
WOW. Book #6. It’s here. It’s been a long-time coming. COACHING GREATNESS. Why NOW? The real story behind why I poured my heart and soul into this book.
You dedicate the book to Coach Wolf. Why?
You seem to be particularly fired-up for this book? Why? What is COACHING GREATNESS all about, WHO is it for, and WHAT makes this book different?
The 10 Traits of GREAT Coaches – What separates the elite from the average? I’m breaking it all down.
You wanted to have people from your Coaching Tree in this book. There are “21” co-authors in this book. There could have been hundreds or thousands perhaps. Why “21”…and WHY did you want to do it like this…
The Power of a Coaching Tree – How mentorship, leadership, and community create a ripple effect that changes lives.
The “And Then Some” Principle – The one trait Coach John Wooden said he would add to his iconic Pyramid of Success.
Why I’m so honored that Kelli Watson wrote the Foreword and how special it is to hear her read it on today’s IMPACT Show.
This book isn’t just my philosophy on coaching—it’s a legacy project built on the wisdom of those I’ve mentored, who now mentor others. If you’re ready to take your coaching impact to the next level, this is your blueprint.
If you’re a coach, business leader, entrepreneur, or someone who simply wants to maximize your influence and impact, this episode is for YOU. It’s time to LEVEL UP!
