In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Kevin sits down with Terry Poling, founder of The Poling Group and a veteran of 30+ years in leadership development. Terry shares a pivotal moment from 1995 when a snowstorm stranded him in a hotel for three days—an unexpected pause that led him to define his top professional values and create a personal mission statement that has guided his work for nearly three decades. He reveals how clarity, self-reflection, and intentional values shaped his coaching philosophy, business direction, and leadership impact. Whether you're an established coach or just starting out, Terry’s journey offers timeless lessons on anchoring your career in purpose and values.
