Developing Tenacity to Follow Our Passions with Andy Tollefson

He’s one of our favorite human beings and we are so excited to introduce him to you! Tara’s son Andy Tollefson is joining our podcast today. Today’s episode is a bit longer than normal, but trust us, you’re going to enjoy listening along and will be amazed at how much you might learn from his life story. Andy is a second-year student of physical therapy at the University of Utah, and he's class president. He also has owned and operated Andy Tollefson Coaching since 2018. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his partner, Olivia, and their rescue dogs, Luna and Soul.   We know you’ll gain great insight as you listen to Andy’s vision and tenacity as he pursued his goals. He had to do a ton of pivoting when roadblocks came up. We hope it’ll inspire you to go after your dreams no matter the obstacles. At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys. CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts.
