187 - From Coach to Leader with Brandon Simpson of Swamp Rabbit CrossFit

Care-Coach-Lead

A few years back, I got an email from a listener of the podcast, recommending that I check out a book called the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. That email came from Brandon Simpson, the general manager of Swamp Rabbit CrossFit in Greenville, SC, and was the start of a relationship that has provided tremendous growth for both of us.

Brandon and I share a love of learning, curiosity, and a desire to learn what most other people would accept as "untrainable skills".

Most people assume that things like empathy, leadership, love, and caring are things that can't be learned and trained. You either have those traits or you don't.

But we've both experienced in ourselves and others how these traits can be learned and cultivated, just like any tangible skill can.

In this episode, Brandon and I discuss how to be a rockstar coach and a more conscious leader. We talk about how to find a great mentor, and how to be one for others.
