On this episode of Cool Down Conversations, host Paxton Ballard interviews Charlie Ruiz, a former professional baseball player and current leadership performance coach. Charlie shares his story of how he went from playing baseball to becoming a coach and how he encourages others to share their stories and experiences to unlock potential.
Charlie reflects on his experience of having his career taken away from him due to a shoulder injury, and how he went back to school to use his education money and spent the next six to seven years fumbling around Silicon Valley trying to get sales jobs. He talks about understanding how different people receive information differently, especially in the sales world, and the importance of empathy and servant leadership.
