Best Eleven of 2023, #1: Mindset and Focus to Create Success – Maurice Linguist, Head Coach, University of Buffalo

Our #1 interview in our Best 11 of 2023 is with Maurice Linguist, head coach at the University of Buffalo. I was so impressed with Coach Linguist when I had the opportunity to connect with him. It wasn’t just the conversation that you will hear, but it was the discussion we had both before and after where his ability to connect with people truly shined through. That skill is such an important part of leadership, and it’s what makes a coach elite at building the relationships that fuel the success of the organization. I know this is one you will enjoy!
