Episode notes

If you ask, how's the project going? Good. You're just not going to get much, right? But if you're really conscious of asking, okay, so what might make you more comfortable with this solution? That kind of question you can ask individually or to a group that you've just announced a new project or initiative. And to me, that gets the meeting after the meeting out in the open, or it gets your coachee to tell you something that they would have walked away saying, you know, easier said than done.
