On this episode of the Coaching StudioIn this episode of the Coaching Studio, Lyssa interviews renowned author, coach, and speaker Michael Bungay Stanier. The conversation navigates the intricacies of power dynamics, the biological instinct to retain power, and the ‘advice monster' we sometimes find difficult to let go of. Drawing insights from relationship experts, they emphasized the significance of active relationship management in both personal and professional settings. Michael underscored the critical role of open communication, genuine feedback, and the concept of “fierce love.” Discussing Michael's new book, How to Work with (Almost) Anyone, they touched upon the importance of feeling genuinely heard and seen, the power of silence, and the value of organizational culture. And the key attributes of a Best Possible Relationship.3 key attributes of a Best Possible Relationship:For any relationship to have a chance of success there must be three things present:Safe – Remove the Fear. Psychological safety, as described by Professor Amy Edmondson, where people feel safe and wholly accepted at work.Vital – Amplify Bravery. Being psychologically braver. Feeling enlivened by working on the hard stuff.Repairable – Fix the Cracks. Working relationships will go off the rails eventually. Some self-heal, but rarely to the state they were before. Nevertheless, good relationships work to fix the damage.Their conversation, interspersed with book recommendations and personal anecdotes, culminated in discussions on defining success, the role of community in personal growth, and surrounding yourself with people who will support you to bring something positive into the world.Michael's Bio:Michael Bungay Stanier is at the forefront of shaping how organizations around the world make being coach-like an essential leadership competency.

Who knew that one could look so youthful yet call themselves an elder?! Michael Bungay Stanier (or as he's often nicknamed, MBS) and I had a good laugh recording this episode as we chatted about the values of leading like an “elder,” despite looking and sounding much more like a 28-year-old ‘bloke' (British version of man, chap…you can choose your own word). Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of a number of successful books including: End Malaria, Do More Great Work, Get Unstuck & Get Going, Great Work Provocations and most recently The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever. He is also the founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons (BoxOfCrayons.biz), was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, and is a Rhodes Scholar. MBS regularly speaks to audiences around the world about “The Coaching Habit” and doing more great work. Highlights include speaking at Google, the HRPA and SHRM conferences, the Rural Women of Manitoba Conference, and anywhere that's vaguely warm during wintertime in Toronto, his home. My highlight is his appearance on the podcast of another favorite thought leader of mine, Brene Brown.In this episode, we discuss legacy and time, what it means to be an elder, and how to make a meaningful contribution to the world that is aligned with who you are.

Oh Canada, we dive into the world of figure skating and the realities of the powerful sport. We were thrilled to have Canadian Coach & Choreographer, and Co-Host of #ThatFigureSkatingShow, Asher Hill join us this past Monday, March 15th, 2021. He was on Battle of the Blades (BOTB) mastering the art of BFF on ice and placed 2nd in the competition with hockey player partner, Jess Campbell. The Profz get to ask him a bunch of questions about his experience staking & coaching a professional hockey player in figure skates, the immediate chemistry & friendship with his partner and how BOTB helped repair his relationship with the sport. Now he is dominating the sports industry as a Canadian Coach & Choreographer, and Co-Host of #ThatFigureSkatingShow on CBC Sports YouTube! Asher sheds light on racism in figure skating and offers insight of what the sport can do to better encourage black youth to take figure skating or encourage diversity. We also discuss what it was like growing through his skating journey alongside his sister, Acacia Hill, and the work she is doing as a coach to build youth skaters from the roots up with her black owned skating school, Brampton Hill Skating Academy (https://bhsacademy.ca/) Asher Hill from Scarborough has been figure skating since he was three years old. He's competed in world championships and international events for Canada. He is the 2008 Canadian National Junior Champion and 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy Bronze Medalist. His love for his sport led him to a career as a licensed figure skating coach. As a skater and coach, he says he's constantly faced with racism and has always been painfully aware of the colour of his skin, which is why Asher is vocal to bring change to the world of sport. Topic list 1. Battle of the Blades 2. Figure Skating Heartbreak & Comeback 3. Race on the Ice 4. Put Me in Coach! 5. Rapid Fire Q'z
In early February, Chris Froome posted a photo on social media. It reads, “Can’t tell if @paulopowerwatts is happy with my numbers.” @paulopowerwatts is Paulo Saldanha, the head of performance at Israel Start-Up Nation. He’s been working to get the four-time Tour de France winner back to the level he was at before his serious accident in June 2019. Saldanha has also been working closely with Michael Woods for roughly eight years. In this episode, Saldanha discusses training those two riders. He also gets into some big questions. What role does failure play in the development of a successful athlete? Will the algorithm, the robo-coach, ever replace the human coach? Is cycling a fallback sport for athletes who don’t succeed in other disciplines? He even looks ahead to possible training innovations that might be coming to more humble riders, like those of us who aren’t pros.The Spring Classics are starting. Do you have trouble pronouncing race names, such as Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Scheldeprijs and Brabantse Pijl. Host Matthew Pioro gets some coaching on the proper pronunciation of these races. Listen in so you, too, can talk Spring Classics like a pro.For more on Saldanha and Israel Start-Up Nation's co-owner Sylvan Adams, check out this Canadian Cycling Magazine story on the pair from Montreal who are making big changes within the WorldTour.

So often, we rush into giving advice to others. We don't see the people around us as creative and whole so we don't believe they have the tools or knowledge to achieve their goals. In an effort to help, we can actually stunt others' growth. However, if we stay curious and ask the right questions, we can help the people around us realize they already have all the answers. We can learn how to bring out the best in others. This will only help us as we build our teams and strategize towards our own goals. Coaching isn't just being hired as a coach. It's a way of being with each other. It's how we can achieve higher-level conversations with our co-workers, clients, and family. We have to lead with curiosity rather than advice and solutions in order to give space for things to bloom. To understand this concept further, I've brought in the writer of The Coaching Habit, Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael is the founder of Box of Crayons, a company that champions coaching as a force for leadership development and culture change. They teach managers leaders practical tools so they can coach in 10 minutes or less. He was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, is a Rhodes Scholar, and has been recognized as one of the Global Gurus in coaching. Download this episode now to learn how to be more coach-like in your life and become a better leader. COURAGE WARRIOR “Tame the advice monster.” -Michael Bungay Stanier Highlights - Pick something and really focus on it. Focus less about becoming a coach and more on becoming coach-like. Encourage higher-level thinking. The “AWE” question is the most important when coaching. It stands for “And what else.” When you're writing, whatever your first chapter is, just drop it. Understanding what you want becomes the foundation for action. The first challenge is rarely the real challenge. Advice-giving is pointing in the right direction. Being strategic is a courageous choice. Everything you say ‘no' to, you can say ‘yes' to something else.

Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of several books, including The Coaching Habit and Do More Great Work. Michael has written for or been featured in numerous publications including Business Insider, Fast Company, Forbes, The Globe & Mail and The Huffington Post. Michael is giving away two The Coaching Habit to CanInnovate listeners. So be sure to tune in and send me an email or comment down below. Episode Overview: A sought-after speaker, Michael regularly speaks to businesses and organizations and has delivered keynotes at Leadership, HR and Learning & Development, conferences around the world, including ATD, SHRM, IPL, HRPA and the Conference Board of Canada. Balancing out these moments of success, Michael was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident,” was sued by one of his Law School lecturers for defamation, and his first published piece of writing was a Mills & Boone short story called “The Male Delivery.” Michael left Australia 25 years ago to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where his only significant achievement was falling in love with a Canadian, which is why he now lives in Toronto, having spent time in London and Boston. He was the first Canadian Coach of the Year. Michael explains why the manager only needs 7 good questions that transforms your leadership game on his book, The Coaching Habit. “For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. For the teachings that Michael does, he tries to strive for that simplicity and he thinks that so often we over complicate things. Michael is all about making things simple, practical and doable. For normal people, coaching is a little but weird because some people are being traumatized by their coaches. For Michael, coaching is a very powerful leadership behavior to get the best out of people, get the best out of yourself and to have more impact in the work that you are doing. Part of the question that he usually ask is what is the least he can teach people and what is the least people need to have the most impact into the work they need. “Spend less time asking people what to do and more times asking good questions.” If you interact with other human beings in your life learning to be more coach-like which in the end is, can you beat yourself a little bit longer? Can you rush for action and give advice a little bit more slowly? Being a coach-like can be a little bit different for everybody. “Most of us are advice giving maniacs” Michael discovered that people advice is not nearly as good as they think it is because. The advice they have isn't solving the right problem The advice they have isn't that good of a solution People preferred to figure this stuff out themselves and come up with their own ideas and their own advice Michael also talked about the And what else... And what else, comes with an insight that a person answer to your first question is never there only answer and it rarely gets the best to answer. And what else is also a great management tool if you're going to slow down the rush to advice, asking and what else is a way of controlling your advice monster who is waiting for a leap of action that is trying to solve the problem and save the day. And you want to return this advice monster. If you are saying yes to this, what are you saying no to? Michael’s strategy question in the book says: When you think about innovation and you think about the challenges that brings with it so much of what great innovation is about and being clear to what the no's are so you can say yes to the stuff that really matters. Every time you say yes you are rolling out a bunch of things that you can do instead of finding the things that you really want to do. What is ghost coaching (Coaching the Ghost) The difference between bad, good and great work and how to leverage it The benefits about giving less advice and staying curios longer Should you get a coach when you are stuck in a rut? Michael says that you should not get a coach immediately. If getting a coach works for you financially and how will you can commit, that would be really powerful. But there are also passive voice that you can get unstuck. Tips on how to get unstuck. An accountability partner Hire a coach Read a book I have made worksheet to help you get unstuck in a rut. Click here to download worksheet. Michael's Do Great Work book provides 15 very specific exercises to help you understand what great work is. "The inspiration in your past suddenly make sense" Sometimes seeking out other people's advice it is a way of detecting from you going away from understanding what's my real challenge what am i going to do about it and how am i going to take this on. "Everything that you do in work or in life is forge into one or two different buckets" And on sudden points you have to move away from collecting advice and you have to move into taking responsibility take your best jazz and move things on.

Michael Bungay Stanier was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, he is a Rhodes Scholar, and was recently recognized as the #3 Global Guru in coaching. In this episode, we talk about how to be a coach-like manager to increase your team’s productivity, impact and engagement. Michael is the founder of Box of Crayons, a company best known for teaching 10-minute coaching so that busy managers can build stronger teams and get better results. While he’s all for promoting coaching in the organisations, he says that we should never try to build a coaching culture. Coaching is a powerful force of change and goodness in organisational life but it’s a means to an end - a process that helps better outcomes happen. And when we talk about building a “coaching culture” too much, the danger is that we make coaching culture the thing rather than what it allows to bring to this world. "Coaching is a powerful force for change in organisations. But we shouldn't forget that it's merely a means to an end - a process that helps better outcomes happen." Michael knows that asking managers to do something over and above what they are already juggling as part of their role isn’t be realistic. So instead, he approaches coaching as “a way of being”. "Being a coach-like manager is not about adding something to your already too long to-do list. It's about transforming the way you do things." Being a coach-like manager is basically about being curious for a little bit longer and rushing to action and advice giving just a little bit more slowly. "To be a coach-like manager, all you need to do is to stay curious a little bit longer and rush to action just a little bit more slowly." Michael's no-nonsense, manager-focused approach to cultivating a coaching culture reminded me of the huge importance of empathy in a change effort. And probably one of the reasons why so many change efforts fail, particualrly culture change efforts is that empathy is not easy. We are not wired to step into someone else’s shoes and to see the world from their perspective. But if you can do the empathy bit well, everything else just flows from there. Empathy is not easy. We are not wired to step into someone else’s shoes and to see the world from their perspective. But if you can do the empathy bit well, everything else just flows from there. What struck me in this interview is that Michael has done his empathy homework really well. He has very clear answers to questions like: “Why do managers resist coaching?” or “What are their concerns when it comes to coaching?”. No wonder that his approach to teaching coaching and building a coaching culture is met with such a great enthusiasm from people he works with. What you will learn in this episode Why it should never be just about building a coaching culture Key reasons managers don’t coach as much as they’d like to Ways of overcoming obstacles to managerial coaching What to do when you realise that you contribute to your team members’ challenges at work How to convince people in your organisation that coaching is worth their time and effort More about Michael When people talk about his successes, Michael likes to balance it out mentioning that he was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident,” was sued by one of his law school lecturers for defamation, and his first published piece of writing was a Harlequin romance short story called “The Male Delivery.” On the way to founding Box of Crayons in 2002, Michael lived in Australia, England, the United States and Canada, his current home. He has written a number of books. His latest, the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Coaching Habit, has sold over 350,000 copies. It has been praised as one of the few business books that actually makes people laugh out loud. "If I had to pick a person to have dinner with, when I need to be prodded and challenged and inspired to think about the things I really am committed to think about for myself and what I’m doing, I’d pick Michael Bungay Stanier. He has an ability to shake our tree and make us more conscious and responsible about what we know but aren’t willing to admit we know yet.” —David Allen, author of Getting Things Done You can find out more about Michael at: boxofcrayons.com coachinghabit.com michaelbungaystanier.com Books and resources mentioned on this episode Michael Bungay Stanier, “Do More Great Work” Michael Bungay Stanier, “The Coaching Habit” Frederic Laloux, “Reinventing Organisations” Richard Pascal, Jerry Sternin & Monique Sternin, “The Power of Positive Deviance” The Coaching Habit Podcast The Great Work Podcast

Driven by globalization and the need for immediate, tangible results, businesses turn to books and experts for coaching, but Michael argues against advice-giving and suggests taking a slow, deliberate approach to management and coaching. Drawing on research in neuroscience and behavioral economics, he developed seven powerful questions anyone can use to coach others, in teams and in relationships that matter in other parts of life, and he describes how to use them in this engaging exchange.

The Learning Leader Show "If you can't coach in 10 minutes or less then you don't have the time to coach at all" Show Notes: Commonalities of leaders who sustain excellence: "They probably haven't sustained it. It's really hard." Role Models -- They succeed AND they fail. "You can't hit it out of the park every time" Some times you do it all right and you still fail Resilience and persistence are commonalities among people who have success Michael's list of failures "is long" The incredible story of how Michael was initially rejected as a Rhodes Scholar... And then how he persevered to earn it (the story about how he differentiated himself from the others is fantastic) "Purple suit, long hair" -- "Everyone else had a blue suit, white shirt, red tie" Where did he develop so much courage? From his parents -- They gave him unconditional support to be different and unique He's a bit of a rebel who also follows the rules sometimes Ask yourself "Do I want to be playing this game?" Box of Crayons -- A training company on how to coach in 10 minutes The mistake of saying "yes" to everyone who asked for his help when he started the company Jim Collins -- "Fire bullets and then cannonballs" -- Low risk experiments The 3 ways coaching shows up in corporations Executive coaching -- People at the top of the Org Chart Training internal people to be the corporate training team Train all managers/leaders to be more coach like -- This is what Michael and his team does "If you can't coach in 10 minutes or less then you don't have the time to coach at all" Transforming to be more "coach like" The 7 important questions to ask: What's on your mind? And what else? What's the real challenge here for you? What do you want? How can I help? If you're saying yes to this, what are you saying no to? What was most useful to you? Why most 1 on 1's are terrible The first and last questions are vital (must bookend the meeting well) -- "Start fast and end strong" The Learning moments -- Help them learn. They learn when there is a moment to reflect on what just happened Be careful when "the advice monster" kicks in... "Can you stay curious a little longer?" -- As the coach, you need to. You must solve the correct problem and focus on the person you are coaching If you just give advice, very little brain activity happens. If you ask questions, it grows the brain activity... Coaching for performance vs. Coaching for development -- There is a big difference The best question in the world is... "And what else?" -- It helps them go a level deeper. Keep asking it, keep going deeper "Be lazy, be curious, be often" -- Michael's motto towards coaching. Listen, ask questions, help them learn "Be more coach like" "Help them learn rather than teaching them" -- We do this by asking great questions Learning Leader = "A great coach is a great teacher. A learning leader is the essence of what it means to be a great leader." You help people learn by constantly learning more yourself "Less Advice. More Curiosity."

Michael Bungay Stanier is the founder and senior partner of Box of Crayons, a company that works with organizations, ranging from AstraZeneca to Xerox, to help them do more great work. A Rhodes scholar who earned both arts and law degrees with highest honors from Australian National University and an Master’s degree from Oxford, he is a popular speaker at business and coaching conferences, and was named Canadian Coach of the Year in 2006 He is also the author of a number of books, his latest book, The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever, was published in February 2016 and is a bestseller. Bungay Stanier talks about how it is possible, in 10 minutes or less, to ask strategic questions to drive changes in behavior, have a more engaged, smart, autonomous team that will allow you to work less hard and have more impact …if you stay curious. The 7 essential coaching questions that he talks about in his book are: What’s on your mind? This open ended question brings up things that are most useful and valuable And what else? What’s the real challenge here for you? Focus question, if you ask this question more than once – the ‘challenge’ will shift. Once the person gets clear on what the challenge is, the person can often figure out the answer. What do you want? How can I help you? or What do you want from me? ‘Lazy question’ – allows you to find out what people are really looking for in terms of help If you say yes to this, what must you say no to? Strategy question - What was most useful or valuable here for you? This is a learning question, as a manager you are a teacher, so when people can reflect on what was most helpful. It also allows the manager to understand what was most helpful in this conversation To have authentic conversations, the culture needs to be one in which employees feel safe to share. Consider TERA when considering your work environment. TERA stands for: Tribe – make it feel like ‘you & me’, rather than ‘you versus me’ Expectation – how do I know what is about to happen Rank – how do I feel the same as you rather than less than you Autonomy – how do I get to make some of the choices, rather than you telling me everything I need to do Bungay Stanier advises employees who want to be coached by their managers to be the change they want to see in the world. Practice being more coach like yourself. Ask your manager for what you want (and buy the book!). His advice to managers who want to get started as coaches is to pick one thing and see if you can get some traction on that. Go to coaching.com and download the first few chapters. Pick a question, build a habit around it, practice it and when you fall off the wagon, start again. What you will learn: The 3 main coaching principals How coaching not only benefits employees but managers as well How coaching in 60 seconds or less is possible ‘Coaching’ is not only is a valuable process for business leaders but parents, teachers…anyone who is involved with people

The One You Feed parable His new book, The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More and Change the Way You Lead Forever The way that the question, How do you stay curious for just a little bit longer? Can transform the way you show up in your life How feeling safe can help us access our highest selves The power of sitting in the ambiguity of asking a question rather than jumping to the feeling of certainty of telling someone an answer The Karpman Drama Triangle: the victim, the persecutor & the rescuer The heart of the Victim role: There's only one way to do this, but you don't like the way it's being done. The best coaching question in the world: And what else? That the first answer someone gives you isn't their only answer and it's rarely their best answer. It's a great self-management tool for rescuers because it keeps you from jumping in, it allows you to stay curious a little bit longer It's a great question for the victim role because it helps give them other options Most people only consider two options before making a decision: should I stay or should I go? Asking this question can give you a third option The five essential components to building an effective new habit That 45% of our waking behavior is habitual The 95% of our brain activity happens in the unconscious brain Since it's inevitable that when building a new habit you will "fall off the bus" or fail, it's important that you have a plan for what you'll do at that point How do you hold yourself firmly but compassionately accountable when it comes to changing your behavior?
