I’ve enjoyed so many episodes because they are so relevant to my work experience. Muriel’s approach is supportive and challenging. In each episode, she guides the guest in a way that I can take into my own life. Keep the episodes coming!!!
In one word: Brilliant !
Muriel is a brilliant, empathetic and insightful coach. I love this podcast so much that I have saved pretty much every episode. It’s not just useful as a leader in need for help and guidance (I learn a lot from the coaching sessions) but her ability to discover and guide the leaders helps me a lot in becoming a better coach for my team. These two learning tracks make it a podcast that is truly gold! Thank your Muriel for this amazing service.
