Coaching is an essential skill for everyone, from leaders and managers, to wives, husbands, mentors, and entrepreneurs. But for most busy, overworked people, coaching others and asking the right questions is done badly, or not at all. People are just too busy to ask, to hurried to listen, and too stubborn to change.

But what if you could learn great coaching skills in 10 minutes or less?

In this episode we interview Michael Bungay Stanier, author of The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever. In this episode, Michael tells us how coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so you can work less hard and have more impact. Drawing on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers from around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your peoples’ potential. He unpacks seven essential coaching questions to demonstrate how—by saying less and asking more–you can develop coaching methods that produce great results.
