This isn’t my interview.

It’s a business podcast episode recorded in the US—where two podcast hosts sat down to discuss my book Coaching Leaders.

They didn’t just skim it.
They studied the full 40,000-word manuscript.
And what followed was a sharp, practical, and honest discussion about how the ideas in the book apply to real-world leadership.

If you manage a team, lead a business, or want to break free from the pressure of always being the “fixer”... this conversation is worth your time.

Here’s what they cover:

  • Why most managers accidentally create dependency—and how coaching leaders break that cycle

  • The shift from giving answers to guiding growth

  • The 3 traps leaders fall into (and how to escape them)

  • How the COACH model helps structure better 1:1s, performance reviews, and team conversations

  • Practical strategies to increase trust, autonomy, and accountability—without micromanaging

  • What high-performance leadership will demand in 2025 and beyond

Whether you’re trying to reclaim your time, raise the bar, or unlock your team’s potential—this episode explores what it really means to lead through coaching.

And the best part?
I didn’t script any of it.
They just got it.

Enjoy.
