Summary
Starting and running a business requires far more than a good idea. It demands strong communication, effective leadership, and the ability to stay productive without burning out—skills that are rarely taught, but absolutely essential. My guest today, Kim Miller-Hershon, has built her career helping leaders and organizations strengthen exactly those skills. Kim is an executive coach, leadership and productivity expert, and the founder of Kim Miller-Hershon Coaching & Consulting, where she works with executives and teams to improve communication, performance, and workplace culture. She also hosts her own podcast, Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom, where she challenges standard leadership advice and explores what actually works in the real world—not just in theory. In this episode, we’ll talk about Kim’s professional journey, how she built her coaching practice, and the lessons she’s learned working with leaders who are navigating growth, pressure, and constant change. In the second half of the conversation, we’ll dig into practical insights around communication, productivity, and leadership—what entrepreneurs often get wrong, and what they can do differently to lead more effectively. If you’re building a business, leading a team, or trying to balance performance with sustainability, this conversation is for you. https://kimmillerhershon.com
