The Leaders You Most Want to Become Are Not Born That Way. They Are Built. | with Eric Nitzberg

Welcome to No One Tells You This.

I'm Laura Massetti.

Nobody tells you that the skills that get you into the room are not always the skills that help you lead once you're there.

Nobody tells you what it actually costs to carry responsibility for others or what it feels like to make decisions when the answers aren't clear.

nobody tells you what the best leaders actually do differently on the inside my guest today has spent two decades sitting in those conversations with hundreds of leaders across some of the most demanding organizations in the world eric ninsberg is an executive coach and trusted advisor to ceos and c-suite leaders across technology software and life sciences before launching his coaching practice He spent several years at a communication coach at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, teaching executive presence and persuasive storytelling.

He's known for his ability to help successful leaders evolve and for bringing a deep humanity to his work that builds the kind of trust that most people spend their whole careers looking for.

Eric, before we get into anything else, I want people listening to hear who you are, how you got here.

Because the path from Stanford to building your own coaching practice is not a straight line.
