Episode 133: Coaching That Scales: What Teams Really Need with Francie Jain

In this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld sits down with Francie Jain, founder of Terawatt, to explore how coaching can transform organizations. Francie explains how Terawatt’s coaching model helps teams build stronger communication, reduce burnout, and create more supportive workplace cultures.

Dane and Francie highlight the growing demand for coaching for people in transition, how a coach is more effective for growth than chatting with friends and family, and how Francie envisions a future where companies offer professional development stipends for opportunities like coaching.
