Fellow coach Julia Hart and I explore a counterintuitive truth about coaching: if you are merely seeking advice or want to hear someone else’s opinion on how to tackle a problem, you're better off looking elsewhere. We also discuss the foundations of coaching and the differences between a professional coach and a manager with a coaching leadership style.

This is the second episode in our mini-series about coaching. The first episode ‘When to Seek Help From an Executive Coach’ was released on April 28 2023 and the third one 'How Coaching Makes a Difference' went live on June 2. The final episode in this mini-series, ‘How to Find a Great Coach’, will drop on Friday June 23.
