Episode notes

i seriously doubt that most people who are listening to this understand just how much goes into each and every one of those interviews. What's driving it is a short answer: How do i help a conversation on the show be as useful to the person listening as possible? I take that respo ibility really seriously. Time is the resource that none of us can get more of. And so for someone to put in their headphones or to cue us up in their car and listen for forty minutes to an episode each week, i take that responsibility in that air time really seriously.

Dave Stachowiak: Coaching for Leaders In August of 2011, I started Coaching for Leaders as a small, side project. Ten years later, the show — and the community around it — have grown beyond my wildest expectations. In this conversation, my friend Scott Anthony Barlow of Happen to Your Career celebrates the 10-year anniversary of Coaching for Leaders by interviewing me about my journey. Key Points I originally started the podcast as a side project to support a future transition into academia. Three things that I focused on at the start that are still central today: useful conversations, audio quality, and consistency. Focusing on quality and depth of conversations is more valuable than trying to hit everything. I realized at some point that I needed to make an affirmative choice to grow the side project into a business. Although I had considered a transition away from Dale Carnegie for years, my actual departure was (ironically) a non-event. Behavior change is a painful but necessary step in the learning process. There are two ways to bring light into the world. One is to be the light — the other is to reflect it.
