She's spent 20 years helping other people finish their hardest work. Her own sat unfinished for three years.
My guest this week is Jenn Farrer, certified executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of Make Them Think: How to Coach for Ownership, Insight, and Action. Jenn has coached and trained thousands of executives, athletes, and teams. But this conversation is about the season most people never see, nearly three years into what was supposed to be a six month creative sabbatical, with nothing finished but a Notes app full of half-started ideas, and what it actually took to change that.
