Episode notes
Inspiration As The Primary Leverage
- Continually seeking creative inspiration is the highest-leverage way to improve life and leadership effectiveness.
- Inspiration reframes perception and fuels actionable change rather than mere fantasy.
See A Coach During Transitions
- Consider coaching when dialectical thinking or 'rubber ducking' sharpens your thought and opens new ideas.
- Use coaching most urgently during transitions like promotions, burnout, or life milestones.
Why Coaching Resists Standardization
- Coaching lacks easy standardization because it deals with perception and deep emotional schemas.
- Trustworthiness is best judged by overlapping social signals and referrals rather than certificates alone.
