S24EP03: The Joy of Death

Laurie is an extraordinary woman. She's been a Chief of Staff for a Fortune 10 company and she wants my advice on the book she's writing. But you know me... I don't play that way! You see, a great coach provokes their clients thinking, rather than validating it. A great coach gives their clients bigger questions to live into, rather than answering the questions they have for them. Too many people make the mistake of trying to write a book for a million people. I propose instead that you wri...

Today I'm talking to a woman I find absolutely fascinating. Danielle LoDuca trained to do archery – on horseback. Two of the most challenging sports, put together. Talk about a top performer! She's also the mother of 6 children (yes, SIX!), an author, a blogger and a coach. In this conversation I challenge her thinking from many directions. Instead of answering her question, I dive down deep. Hey, that's the only way I play. I tell Danielle who she is for me – you can feel how moved she is...

Shermain's coaching practice is really successful and he wants tips to take it to the next level. But I don't play the way he thinks I am going to play...

Tasha was an educator then and a registered nurse, for 16 years. She's Type A by nature – driven, highly organized, ambitious and impatient. She starts the coaching session by asking me about how to do less. You see, she doesn't want to go back to her old ways as she builds a successful coaching practice. I introduce her to a new distinction, “Less but better…” It’s a game changer for her. And in that moment – 90 seconds after we’ve begun – I realize that she needs to practice this, right ...

I can promise any client that they will have a life-changing insight as a result of a coaching experience with me – no matter whether our conversation is 10 minutes long or 90 minutes. You see, I am listening to my client's listening of the world. And I am looking for how they see the world and I am witnessing how they speak their world into reality. My client, Soph Chiche, is a journalist, entrepreneur, author and psychologist, who founded a multi-million dollar business and is now buildin...

Do you ever feel like you're on the Hamster Wheel of business? The more you do, the more there is to do... The more money you make, the more money you need to make... And as you become more successful, the pressure builds to be even more successful... Richard shows up on this call with a lot on his mind. He's speaking fast. You can feel his energy. I consciously slow him down and suggest the possibility that the less he does, the more he will make. He wants to believe me but I tell him not ...
