Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • The people I coach leave fired up with a plan, but the first ordinary snag throws them and the whole thing quietly dies
  • I give my team a sharp, accurate read on what’s going wrong and exactly how to fix it, and they nod and walk away
  • When someone I’m coaching brings me a topic, we just end up circling it and venting
  • I start each coaching conversation from scratch and never circle back to what the person said they’d do last time
  • Someone comes to me with "it’s a disaster, he doesn’t respect me," and I just take their version at face value and start fixing
