Summary
In this rich and deeply human conversation, Christy Byerly, MCC and coach educator, mentor and thought leader explores what it really means to bring brave, powerful love into coaching and leadership. Love is not sentimentality, but an active, grounded practice which requires clear boundaries, honest contracting and the courage to invite dissent. Christy shares vivid stories from her work, parenting, teaching and leadership experiences, illustrating how connection without structure collapses, and structure without connection disconnects. And how love with structure creates the foundation for empowering conversations.
