Leanne Hughes, host of the First Time Facilitator podcast interviews Michael Bungay-Stanier in Episode 106 of the show. Michael is the #1 thought leader in coaching by Thinkers50, the so-called Oscars of management. He was also the first Canadian coach of the year and has been named a Global Coaching Guru since 2014. He’s spoken around the world in front of crowds ranging from ten to ten thousand.
In this interview, we cover a range of topics including:
▶️Finding your purpose
▶️How a room should be setup (environment matters)
▶️How we can be more coach-like in our interactions
▶️Tactics to tame our advice monster.
Michael also shares specifics on how to deliver activity instructions, including how to sequence question time in pairs and how to assess who speaks first in a pairing exercise, using humour.
His book, The Coaching Habit was an instant classic and one of the books that most impacted how I think and lead. I am eagerly anticipating the follow-up, deep-dive he’s written, coming out on February 29th. The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious, and Change the Way You Lead Forever is sure to be transformative. You can find it over at theadvicetrap.com
