Bringing the World of Work Closer Through Meaningful Human Connections
In HRchat episode 368, we consider ways to empower L&D pros and HR teams with the tools to unlock the potential of their distributed teams.
My guest is Tyler Muse, CEO & Founder at Lingo Live, an online coaching platform on a mission to help emerging leaders at multinational companies gain the skills they need to lead their teams effectively. He is also the host of the new Groundwork Podcast.
Tyler is passionate about bringing the world closer together through meaningful human connections. As a leader, he experienced firsthand the transformative power of one-on-one coaching and built Lingo Live to marry the meaningful human connection of a private coach with the efficacy of skills-based development.
Over the past 7 years, the company has grown 10 times, scaled up to dozens of employees and 100s of coaches worldwide, and raised nearly $10 million in venture capital funding!
