in conversation with bestselling author
Michael Lewis (The Big Short, Liar’s Poker) for Against the Rules
In “The Coach in Your Head” podcast, Michael Lewis investigates the power of performance coaching and puts it to the test with Performance Consultants MD Tiffany Gaskell and our colleague and creator of the Inner Game, Tim Gallwey. Tiffany says:
“The great Michael Lewis has brought his incisive and entertaining approach to exploring and explaining the true story of coaching. Starting with Tim Gallwey and the creation of the Inner Game, it’s a fun and fast-moving conversation in which Michael examines different perspectives, including getting me to coach him there and then.”
