TEI 102: Executive coaching for product managers – with Evan Roth

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: I’ve been
fortunate to have excellent mentors at different times during my
career. I’ve seen an interesting trend in the last few years – the
rise of the personal coach. This is a type of mentor. A personal
coach can help you in many ways, all of which are generally related
to improving performance and success — identifying objectives,
holding you accountable for taking action, providing unbiased
feedback, and at times just helping you get out of your own way by
identifying how you’re limiting your success. Recently I was
talking with the head of product for a global company and he
mentioned he had been meeting with a coach. I was curious about
this because I noticed a change in him and I asked how the coach
helped. His response made me more curious and I wanted to talk with
his coach myself, which I do in this interview. My guest is Evan
Roth, a certified executive coach that works with both individual
executives as well as their teams. Evan has 30+ years’ real-world
corporate experience in leadership and organizational development,
accounting and finance, business strategy, mergers and
acquisitions, and international operations. He happens to be
based in Denver, Colorado, near my home, but thanks to Skype,
he works with clients across the globe. In our discussion, you will
learn about: limiting beliefs,assumptions and interpretations,my
personal example of being in quicksand, andhow to have more energy.
