Kathleen E.R. Murphy, an Executive Sports Coach and CEO of her company Market Me Too out of Boston, Massachusetts, joins Access Your Leadership to talk about her transition from corporate to coaching. Kathy shares how throughout her career she had a feeling that there was more she could be doing to align with her purpose. She initially explored providing coaching in a business/leadership context and later blended her experience and passion into working with sports teams and their coaching staff. Kathy has worked with athletes and teams at all levels of sport and has researched and written extensively about her findings. Kathy addresses questions such as what is executive (or leadership) presence and why is it so highly desirable by clients at a certain point in their career? What is the real economic impact of retention and why is it so important to invest heavily in culture and setting employees up for success early on? What led to the decision to leave corporate and start the coaching journey? How did you leverage transferable skills at this transition point in your career? What/Who inspired you to explore sports leadership with athletes and their coaches? How are the corporate coaching and sports leadership coaching similar and different? Are people all motivated the same way and if not, why? What are Gallup Strengths and how do you incorporate those into your coaching? Where does writing fit into the work you do? What’s the secret ingredient to championship teams and who can find out what that might be? Kathy shares a ton of insight and explains in detail the work she does and the value it creates for her corporate clients and sports teams and athletes. Enjoy!
