In this episode of the Decide Your Legacy podcast, we dive deep into the transformative world of coaching, comparing and contrasting it with counseling. Reflecting on my personal journey, I share how the evolution from a controlled, teaching-centric approach to a more liberating, coaching-oriented mindset has brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life and the lives of those I work with. We are joined by Adam, also known by the affectionate nickname 'Lloyd', a valued team member of Decide Your Legacy, to explore the significant impact of coaching through storytelling and real-life experiences. As a host and a seasoned professional with 25 years of experience in both coaching and therapy, we discuss the four main differences between coaching and counseling: the coach's role as a partner, coaching's emphasis on thriving and future potential, its action-driven approach, and the self-improvement and accountability it fosters. Together with Lloyd, we discuss actionable insights for listeners to embrace change, face their fears, and pursue a life of purpose and transformation. This episode is not just about listening; it's an invitation to step into uncomfortable territories that promise growth, learning, and ultimately, living a legacy today.

In this episode we will dive into the profound impact of mentoring. Special guest David Riffel, executive director of Mentoring Warriors, joins me to share his inspiring story from facing a life-threatening health scare to founding a non-profit focused on mentoring young men. David unfolds the significance of 'father wounds', the necessity of being a safe and trustworthy mentor, and the mutual growth both mentor and mentee undergo. Together, we explore the challenges of fatherhood, the lack of mentors in today's society, especially for men, and how Mentoring Warriors is addressing this gap. We wrap up by discussing the role of gratitude and joy in our lives, professional mentoring practices, and the interpersonal skills young men are often missing. Our conversation leaves listeners with practical advice on becoming a mentor and the encouragement to take small steps towards big impacts in both personal and professional spheres.
