He is passionate about helping business leaders win both at work and home.Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory some amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, strained marriages, and absentee parents. Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest. When Cory discovered leadership coaching, it helped him become a better leader, husband, and father. So he left his corporate career to help other leaders achieve a healthier work-life balance.

Kevin Cristello, Assistant Athletic Director for Football at Virginia Tech University joins on the podcast. Kevin shares how coaches can streamline their admin/operations work so that they can have more time for the best parts of the job...the players, and the game. We&apos;ve never heard a coach say they stopped coaching because they stopped loving the game or the kids...it&apos;s usually something outside of that. One of the struggles we&apos;ve heard about is the amount of admin, paperwork, and secondary work that has to be done to run a program. Hopefully, this helps! Topics: - Ways coaches he had impacted him- Handling job transitions- How to set yourself up for success when it comes to admin- Getting the right kind of help- Improving year after year- Hilarious recruiting story :)Playing career: - 2 sport athlete at Simon Kenton High School- 4-year Defensive Lineman at Morehead State UniversityCoaching stops:- Morehead State- East Carter HS- Kentucky Christian University- Eastern Kentucky University- Nebraska University- Coastal Carolina- Virginia TechSupport the show (http://www.nkyfca.org/donate)
