The Case for Coaching: How Clear Communication Protects Your Business

What do business coaching and employment law have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode, the hosts are joined by Mike Taylor, business coach and Chief Vision Officer of TaylorMade Visioneering. Together, they dig into how performance management, documentation, and coaching intersect with legal risk—and how organizations can protect themselves by doing it better.

From panic hires and vague org charts to sugarcoated performance reviews and last-minute terminations, this episode explores the missteps that lead to lawsuits and the conversations that can stop them before they start. You’ll also learn the value of quarterly coaching conversations, why clarity is everything, and how mentorship can be a game-changer for team culture and compliance alike.
