Being a team player in sports and as a leader
with Mike Thorne
In this episode I talk with Mike Thorne about leadership and his experience as a coach who works with CEO's.
Mike is very passionate about sports which plays an important part of his approach in his coaching work and it is a really interesting conversation about how sports and leadership link together so well.
About Mike:
Mike's mission is to restore people’s sense of dignity to unleash their greatness. His vision is a world where people are celebrated for who they are and recognise that they are worthy of self-esteem simply because they are here. He specialises in facilitating transformations in human beings and business leaders by helping them create trust communities and cultures of inclusion. These communities and cultures help people feel inspired, increase their engagement, and improve organisational performance on every level. Mike injects a passion for excellence into those he serves while delivering impact through sustainable growth.
Over the course of Mike's career, he has worked in sales, business development, and leadership in seven different industries, including as President of the Wholesale Division for Yankee Candle; Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Customer Service, and Analytics for Rawlings Sporting Goods; and CEO of Challenger Turf Inc. For the past five years, he has advised business executives through his own company, Ask Inside which he is transitioning to Trust Inside. In 2021, Mike continued that work by becoming a Vistage Chair, facilitating meetings of northern New England’s business owners and CEO’s who come together to solve problems, support each other, and design innovative solutions to grow their businesses. Members come in as CEO’s and leave as human being’s.
