Question from Allison

Do you have any tips on improving business acumen? I watched this TED talk. Susan Colantuono states that the reason women have a difficult time advancing in their careers is because their business acumen is not strong enough. What are your thoughts?

Audio question from Suzie on how to record book notes

Dave recommended Audible* (a free month of Audible and two free books available from this link*)

Recommendation from Frank

I work in supply chain for a large healthcare system and I’m often asked to lead project teams, so I’m finding the advice on the show very helpful. I find that the coaching skills that I learn can often be applied to either teaching 14 year old girls the great game of softball (which often crosses into life lessons), or managing 40 year old professionals on a project team.

So with that in mind, may I suggest the book Coaching the Mental Game by H.A. Dorfman*? Although it’s a sports coaching centric book, so much of it can be applied in other coaching roles and it’s thought of the gold standard of sports coaching books.
