About Your Host
Meredith Bell
I’ve walked in your shoes, too! For more than a decade, I was a consultant, trainer and coach to leaders in corporate and government. Since 1994, as co-founder and president of a software company, I’ve worked with hundreds of consultants and coaches who’ve used our assessment and development tools with clients.
In addition to supporting their implementation of our products, I love working with them on important areas like mindset, personal growth and business development. I started this podcast as a way to reach even more of these dedicated professionals.
