Transcript context

…Yeah, that's the easy path. Okay. Last question. So I'm curious, and not to create more competition for you, but I feel like a lot of people think about becoming a coach of some kind, like a product coach, exec coach. If someone is thinking about going down that path, is there one piece of advice you could share to help them pursue this path, even explore if it's right for them? If you think you want to become a coach and you immediately want to build up your coaching skills, listen to people more deeply and ask deeper questions, not just respond to what they just said, but why do you think that? Or where is that coming from? And you will see if you enjoy that process of really going deeper with people. I think that would be helpful for everyone to do. But certainly if you want to become a coach, I think that's essential to be able to get really beneath the surface. I love how your energy just changed into coaching mode when you said that. I love that. That was such an interesting thing to see and that was great advice. That's easier said than done. And it's interesting, you could tell people are so good at that specific skill versus not. And so I love that that's the thing to work on, is ask better questions, think deeper about the person and what they're coming from. Alisa, this was incredible. Two final questions. Where can folks find you if they want to reach out, maybe work with you, what kind of people do you work with in case people are interested in that, and finally, how can listeners be useful to you?…
