We recorded this episode months ago, so part of our conversation is couched within that timeframe of remote learning through COVID 19. Sherry’s message is so authentic and generous, and we learn about her journey into launching her own business, her focus on students in her work of coaching schools and leaders, and she shares wonderful insight into the challenges and joys of coaching. I am honored that Sherry would have this conversation with me, and I am delighted to share with you Sherry St. Clair’s Coaching Story.
