In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Owner & Founder of ClearPeg LLC, Todd White.

Todd's background is as diverse as it is impressive. He started as a mechanical engineer before transitioning into strategy consulting and global HR. His experience working across various industries and functions allows him to have a unique approach to coaching individuals at all levels.

Todd's company is laser-focused on professional development, particularly working with the C-suite to help them build the tribe of their future. The question that naturally arises is, why should companies invest in professional development for their future leaders?

Todd emphasizes the importance of investing in the development of mid-career professionals. These individuals, according to Todd, are often the most coachable and valuable assets to the company. If they are not given the opportunity to grow and develop, they may be easily swayed by other offers or become disengaged.
