Welcome to Coffee House Coaching, where great conversations are brewed one powerful question at a time. I'm your host, Gary Nowak, and each episode is steeped in 8 thought-provoking, no-fluff questions designed to tap into the Coaches insight, impact and inner work of their practice. Today's guest is Nir Megnazi - "From Intel Chips to Emotional Shifts: Coaching That Cuts Through the Noise"  Episode Highlights 

Coaching Highlights – Conversations That MatterThrown into coaching—and luckily, stuck the landing.Mastering the power of the pause—because silence speaks volumes.Blending internal and external coaching like a fine espresso blend.That “jarring” feeling when you hold back... and let silence do its thing.Asking, “What was this experience like for you?” (Yes, that's the gold.)No pressure, no expectations—just an invitation.Asking the "Best Boss / Worst Boss" question—watch clarity unfold.Helping clients slide into the driver's seat of their own lives.Staying in coaching mode even when the formal session ends.Because honestly, the world needs fewer “Talk Shows” and more “Listen Shows.”That magical moment when coaching just clicks.Showing up aware, curious, and kind (not a bad trifecta).Embracing the give-to-get exchange—let go to grow.

Jeff's Coaching Highlights – The Google Way (and Beyond)Called out as a standout coach—with zero formal training.Jeff doesn't take space, he invites it—every time.Life at Google didn't happen to him—it happened for him.The underestimated power of just sitting in silence and holding space.A proud, recovering "Teller"—learning to ask, not just inform.Memorable feedback: "Jeff is often the first and last to speak in a meeting."Reminder: Coaching only works when people are ready—no pushing needed.Find your niche—because when you try to serve everyone, you serve no one. Pattern spotting = turning up the heat in the right moments.Pioneering coaching culture at Google by leading from the front.

Coaching Highlights – Leadership With a TwistSolving problems just by talking it out—sometimes that's all it takes.In a go-go-go world? Leaders, give yourself a full day to do absolutely nothing. (Yes, really.)Runs multi-day leadership programs where coaching isn't a side dish—it's baked right in.Coaching the unwilling—because sometimes the ones who resist need it most.Helps clients internalize insights on the spot—no delayed a-ha moments here.Created a "buddy system" that turns training into real connection.Packs his programs with reinforcement, accountability, and just enough tough love to keep things moving.
