Cover art for Leadership Caffeine PodcastThere’s a secret to why I have so much fun producing this podcast. I only interview people who fascinate and inspire with their stories and ideas. The subject of this interview, Executive Coach, business owner at Aspire CS and popular leadership blogger, Mary Jo Asmus, hits the bullseye on all criteria.  And yes, as I offer in the opening of this fun interview, if Mary Jo had a fan club, I would be a card carrying member!

I’ve hosted a fairly steady stream of authors in the past few months, and it’s enjoyable in this interview to focus on a great person and professional and not a book.

Mary Jo describes a fascinating journey from executive inside Big Pharama to entrepreneur to someone celebrating the ten year anniversary of her successful coaching business.  Along the way, we gain some great insights into Mary Jo, her approach to business success and her ideas on the fast growing profession of executive coaching. In this last area, whether you are considering engaging a coach or becoming one, her insights and ideas are worth many times the price of admission to this podcast.

Enjoy meeting Mary Jo Asmus!

After listening to the interview, make certain to check out her blog and services at Aspire-CS.  She consistently inspires, educates and provokes some important and often introspective thinking on our work as leaders.  I think so highly of her writing and blogging that with her permission, one of our collaboration efforts was included in my recently published book.
