In this episode of the L&P Podcast, I speak with Todd Gerspach, former C-level executive and founder of Fortitude Executive Coaching, about how executives can enhance their performance while maintaining some semblance of balance.

In our conversation, we touch on a range of topics relevant to current and aspiring managers and leaders, including:

Definitions of professional and personal success
Learning from experience
Leadership vs. management
Coaching
Change management
Personal mission statements and value hierarchies
Mental models of management and leadership
And a whole lot more!
