Gene Hammett

Guests this week are Business Coach, Gene Hammett from Core Elevation and Jewel Anderson from Under 30 Following the Vision.  Gene shared his personal story of succeeding, failing spectacularly and then pulling himself back up by the bootstraps.  It’s a compelling story that you’ll want to hear!

Gene also explained the difference between coaching, consulting and training and talked about how coaching helps you get to the solutions yourself rather than “telling you what to do” and he noted that when you figure it out for yourself, you’re more likely to follow through and make real progress.  He clearly has a unique coaching style and a passion for the work he is doing that you’ll hear throughout the show.

Jewel talked about her new non-profit venture Under 30 Following The Vision and talked about her desire to help young entrepreneurs get both exposure and funding.  She explained the scholarship program, talked about the three finalists and shared her vision for the organization going forward!
