Coaching involves teaching people and helping them to grow. It's different than managing, mentoring, or problem-solving, and it's a leadership style that can change your relationships and your organization. In this episode of Finance Matters, co-host Patty Marbury and Erika Priddy of Finance Outreach and Compliance talk about Coaching, which is an area of their expertise. Learn what coaching is, and how some simple coaching questions can change the way you interact with colleagues, supervisees, and even family.

We've got two very different guests joining us on today's episode to talk about productivity and workflow: Jessica Rafter, who works remotely managing our online community, and Mara Hilliar, Executive Assistant to the VP of Finance. Together we work through strategies we've adopted to keep ourselves organized and productive: what's worked, modifications we've made, and ideas we'd like to try. The key thing we've learned? Experiment with different strategies until you find something that feels comfortable! There are lots of ideas in this pod, and we hope some of them will work for you!

Coming to you from Patty's dining room table, it's part one of a series on Jeffrey M. Hiatt's book The Employees Survival Guide to Change. The book is a short, pithy read with lots of great insight into change and change theory. We'll walk you through the book's practical suggestions for succeeding in times of change. Thanks to our special guests Thor and Mickey Marbury for the cuddles as we recorded ;)
