Your Accountability Partner with Steve Powell

Pearson’s Law states: “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, performance improves exponentially.”

My guest for this episode, Steve Powell, is a Growth & Leadership Coach here at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. It is The Atlantic Bay Way to set our people up for success. We know that providing industry-leading coaching is crucial to fostering our company's culture and promoting growth. This speaks directly to one of our core values – We Genuinely Care – and is another way we do everything we can to make sure our team members have what they need to elevate not only their businesses but more importantly, their lives.

Join us for a discussion about how coaching can improve so many aspects of your professional life, how to be accountable to your coach and yourself, and ways to measure that personal and professional accountability.
