Designed for busy managers and leaders, this podcast explores how to make coaching a daily, informal habit that takes 10 minutes or less. If you are tired of being the bottleneck for your overdependent team, feeling overwhelmed by doing everyone else's work, and feeling disconnected from meaningful work, this show will help you break those vicious circles. We dive into practical strategies to help you tame your "Advice Monster"—that deeply ingrained, Pavlovian urge to jump in, take over, and offer solutions—so you can empower your team to find their own answers.

Key Topics We Explore:

• The Seven Essential Questions: Master the core questions that will transform your leadership style, starting with the Kickstart Question ("What's on your mind?") to cut through small talk, and the AWE Question ("And what else?"), which is considered the best coaching question in the world.
• Building Bulletproof Habits: Discover the "New Habit Formula" and the science behind behavior change. You will learn how to identify your specific triggers, recognize your old habits (like rushing to give advice), and define micro-habits that take 60 seconds or less to execute.
• Escaping the Drama Triangle: Learn how to stop playing the "Rescuer" who constantly leaps in to fix things, a dynamic that ultimately creates dependent "Victims" and leaves you entirely exhausted.
• Doing More "Great Work": Shift your focus from just getting everyday tasks done (Good Work) to focusing on work that has true impact and meaning (Great Work). We discuss how to use the Strategic Question ("If you’re saying Yes to this, what are you saying No to?") to protect your time and resources
