Quotes:

• “Executive coaching is really centered on your professional development and in the long term, the development of your team and your organization.” (4:23 | Mike Horne)

• “You know, I've thought long and hard about what is common among organizations, and what I now understand, having consulted and led teams around the world, is that organizations have one thing in common, and that is that they expire, except for those organizations that are able to innovate. And innovation is core to creating 100-year, 200-year brands. And it's those of us who are the mere mortals in these organizations, the executives who lead change, to really get jazzed up, to get excited about the possibilities that are ahead for them, both personally and professionally, and for their organizational teams.” (8:10 | Mike Horne)

• “So what I always tell my clients, my executive coaching clients, is that as a leader, you need to embrace the opportunity to evolve, to grow, and to realize it's not just beneficial for yourself, but this is about the entire team. It's about the organization that you lead and for which you have accountability and for which you're responsible for.” (12:35 | Mike Horne)
