Solomon Wilcots, analyst for SiriusXM NFL Radio, joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason. Wilcots breaks down the New England Patriots' Super Bowl loss, why one game shouldn't define Drake Maye or Will Campbell, and what Mike Vrabel's leadership means moving forward. He dives into the league's coaching trends, explaining why defensive-minded head coaches may be poised for a resurgence and why being a true “leader of men” still matters most in today's NFL. The discussion also tackles quarterback economics and whether teams should rethink how they hand out massive extensions. From C.J. Stroud's future in Houston to Joe Burrow's long-term outlook in Cincinnati, Wilcots explains why patience and tiered pay structures could reshape roster building. Plus, he weighs in on Maxx Crosby's future with the Raiders, the dynamic between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown in Philadelphia, and what the Bills and Chiefs must fix to stay in the championship hunt. #nfl #maxxcrosby #joeburrow #bengals Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the third episode of Building Successful Coaching Cultures, host Rosie Nice, speaks with Felix Karl Gaehwiler, an adaptable and pragmatic leader driving Business Transformation for DMC Europe at Kuoni Tumlare. Felix shares a candid look at life inside a blame-driven sales culture—where responsibility was always pushed outward, energy was low, and while people were functioning, they weren't thriving. The team was stuck, unhappy, and disconnected.   Change began when a new Head of Sales, Tim, introduced a coaching-led approach. Rather than giving solutions, Tim first listened—to frustrations, complaints, and concerns—and then asked different questions that challenged individuals and teams to take ownership: "What ideas do you have to solve that?" Felix recalls how challenging this felt at first and how it took him on his own journey, confronting his resistance until he could see the approach working and eventually train as a coach himself.   The conversation explores how coaching shifted accountability, relationships, and performance over time, while also highlighting the ongoing effort required to sustain a coaching mindset amid leadership changes, cross-cultural teams, and hybrid working. This episode is a grounded, human exploration of what coaching really looks like inside organisations—messy, challenging, and ultimately transformative.   You will learn:   ·       Blame cultures can appear functional while masking stagnation, disengagement, and low accountability. ·       Listening and curiosity are a key part of building a coaching culture ·       The powerful shifts that occur over time when a coaching culture is built into organizations     'I think a coaching culture exists when people feel safe to develop new ideas, but even more, when they feel safe to give and accept feedback, irrespective of position or title.'   Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review!

  Q: Why does leadership development in Japan feel so slow? A: Because talent is often held hostage to time. Age, longevity and seniority can outweigh capability, so people wait rather than accelerate their readiness. OJT is the default pathway, but it only works when the boss can teach, communicate and coach. When that capability is missing, development becomes inconsistent and slow. Mini-summary: If time and seniority do the deciding, leadership growth stays glacial. Q: Why do some Japanese high potentials decline promotions? A: Many say, "I don't feel I'm ready yet." Sometimes that's humility. Sometimes it's fear of failure, shaped by a workplace norm where mistakes carry a high social cost. The problem is that demographics are tightening. As retirements increase and the youth population declines, companies need more people willing to step up sooner. Mini-summary: The "not ready" mindset collides with the reality of retirements and shrinking talent pipelines. Q: What's undermining accountability for career growth? A: In many firms, the Personal Development Plan becomes a perfunctory HR process rather than a tool for self-reflection and direction. Without role models who actively plan their careers, people don't learn how to influence their progression. Stretch roles get avoided because the risk of failure feels too high, and training is not treated as leverage for bigger accountability. Mini-summary: When PDPs are paperwork and stretch work feels dangerous, accountability stays passive. Q: How do patrons shape promotion—and what's the risk? A: Patronage is a time-tested path: attach yourself to a powerful person, offer total loyalty, and your career can rise with theirs. The trade-off is control. Your timing is tied to the patron's timing, not your readiness or choices. That can keep people focused on allegiance instead of capability-building. Mini-summary: Patronage can lift careers, but it shifts accountability away from the individual's development. Q: What can leaders learn from gaishikei promotion culture without copying it blindly? A: Gaishikei companies often reward self-promotion, seizing training opportunities, and taking bigger assignments to prove capability. You don't need to import noisy behaviours. You do need to make development visible and active: encourage people to pursue learning, accept stretch work, and demonstrate readiness through action. Mini-summary: Keep the focus on deliberate development and stretch, not on style. Q: How does coaching increase accountability without creating fear? A: Coaching broadens thinking and challenges people to take calculated risks. It supports ownership rather than compliance. But it requires an internal culture where failure is treated as learning, not as a career killer. When someone tries something for the first time, they will be imperfect. The organisation must honour the implicit compact that experimentation is allowed. Mini-summary: Coaching works best when learning is protected and early imperfection is normalised. Q: What destroys accountability and creativity in the middle layer? A: Middle managers raised in a "no failure allowed" environment can verbally whack subordinates for mistakes made during experimentation. That reaction cancels creativity quickly and teaches people to play safe. It doesn't move the company forward, and it weakens leadership bench strength over time. Mini-summary: Punishing experimental mistakes trains people to avoid ownership. Q: How should leaders set up training so it actually sticks? A: The lead-up matters. If the message is, "You have training in two weeks; HR has the details," people can misread it as punishment or even a signal they're being pushed out. Some become the hostile "hostage" participant who resists regardless of quality. Instead, explain the why: they were selected because of excellent work and the company is investing in their future. Then have a coaching conversation about where they can improve and what outcomes they want from the programme. Mini-summary: Give the why, set outcomes, and motivation rises. Q: What are the practical action steps to build leadership bench strength? A: Create an environment that tolerates failure as part of the creative process. Coach high potentials to change their mindset about achieving their full potential. Don't just provide training—provide the why of the training for them. Mini-summary: Culture, coaching, training and communication work as a single system.

In this episode, I sit down with mortgage industry veteran and coach Carrie Guarrero to trace a three-decade career built on service, community, and relentless growth. Carrie shares how an 11-year-old's flyer route in her mom's mortgage office became a billion-dollar origination career—and why the trophies eventually mattered less than the names and stories behind each loan. She opens up about a career “pause” that didn't go as planned, the humbling return that led her to Fairway, and how that detour became the on-ramp to launching Fairway Ignite, an internal coaching organization now serving 600+ teammates with 80 coaches.We also get into how Carrie is building a multigenerational legacy; handing portions of her book of business to her daughter and longtime partner, and what “effective coaching” really looks like inside a high-performance culture: individualized matches, data-driven accountability, and an always-on community. Beyond business, Carrie reflects on being an Army mom (and former Army spouse), holding pride and fear at the same time, and the leadership lessons that come from service, ambiguity, and letting go. She previews her forthcoming guided journal Discovering WISE: Women in Search of Excellence—a 52-week journey designed to help women define success on their own terms—and shares the daily non-negotiables that keep her grounded in faith, family, gratitude, sweat, and stillness.Discussion Highlights:How a “failed” pivot can become the exact path you need nextThe core ingredients of coaching that actually moves numbers (and people)Why legacy leadership means empowering others, even before you feel ready to let goNavigating male-dominated rooms without dimming your light or your voiceThe power of holding two truths (proud and scared) and leading through uncertaintyA simple morning framework: gratitude, sweat, and reflective thinkingLinks & Mentions:Connect with Carrie Guarrero:  Instagram • LinkedIn Book: Discovering WISE: Women in Search of Excellence — 52-week guided journey - grab your copy here!If this conversation resonates, I'd love for you to subscribe, rate, and share.

This clip highlights how important it is for coaching to become a culture embedded in the school. This can not be work that coaches are doing on their own. We need to empower others to learn more about the practice of coaching so that as many people as possible have access to the amazing support that coaching provides.

This #coachbetter episode is another in our series of coaching case studies, with one of Kim's amazing clients, Andrea Goodrich, grade 4 classroom teacher at Concordia International School in Hanoi, Vietnam. At the time of recording Andrea had just graduated from The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program. These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting.  We're excited to share this episode with Andrea with you because this episode is such a great example of the ways that classroom teachers can embrace a coaching mindset and start building a coaching culture - from the team to the whole division - in one academic year. Andrea took everything she learned in The Coach and directly applied it in her school setting and it's already created significant momentum towards coaching.  In this conversation Andrea and Kim talk about... How Andrea started her journey to instructional coaching What makes coaching valuable to Andrea as a classroom teacher The surprises she uncovered about coaching as she was learning more What Andrea was able to accomplish in just one academic year in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program What Andrea is considering as she moves forward in her professional growth What she wishes she knew before she started coaching Find the show notes for this episode here.

After more than 100 episodes, #Coach2Scale wraps with a powerful closing message from host Matt Benelli, one that goes far beyond sales tactics. In this final episode, Matt shares four hard-earned truths from hundreds of conversations with CROs, enablement leaders, and frontline managers. He challenges the myth of the “super rep turned manager,” breaks down the true ROI of coaching (7–8X when done right), and reminds us that one-on-ones aren't just a task, they're the operating system for growth.Matt also reflects on why performance loops aren't enough without practice loops, and how great teams aren't built on pressure, but on preparation. This episode connects the dots between personal development and business outcomes; it's a call for CROs and GTM leaders to stop managing through dashboards and start developing their people with purpose. If you're serious about building a high-performing team that lasts, this episode is your blueprint.Top Takeaways1. The human side of coaching is non-negotiable.Vulnerability-based trust isn't soft; it's the foundation for accountability, belief, and long-term performance.2. Properly equipped managers deliver 7–8X ROI.Coaching isn't a “nice to have”; consistent, structured 1:1s lead to higher engagement, lower attrition, and stronger pipeline performance.3. Stop promoting super reps into management without support.Selling and coaching are completely different skills; without systems and training, you set managers (and their teams) up to fail.4. Practice beats performance.Top teams don't just execute, they review, adapt, and improve with immediate, behavior-focused feedback that drives lasting change.5. Coaching isn't a tool; it's a behavior change engine.Technology alone doesn't drive growth; tying behavior improvement directly to outcomes is what makes a coaching culture truly effective.6. One-on-ones are not optional; they're the operating system.When coaching becomes the standard cadence, it shifts manager behavior from reactive firefighting to proactive development.7. Performance grows when reps feel developed, not just measured.The best leaders strike a balance between empathy and accountability, investing in long-term careers rather than just meeting short-term quotas.8. Coaching is how you scale without breaking your team.Growth doesn't come from dashboards or pressure; it comes from developing people who are confident, capable, and aligned.

The lights are on, the mics work, and the room is buzzing—because we made a big call that changes everything. We brought two locations under one roof, not out of panic, but out of purpose: to simplify, cut stress, and give our community the best hour of their day, every day. That choice reshaped our coaching, our classes, and our energy—and it already feels like the gym we always meant to build.We walk through the why and the how: post-COVID realities that never fully balanced out, overhead that outpaced demand at South, and the unmistakable pull of Midtown. Instead of grinding for years to prop up two addresses, we went all‑in on one. The payoff? Two rigs bolted into a 114‑foot spine, nearly all the equipment put to work, and more classes led by two coaches for sharper cues and smoother flow. The 5 a.m. crew is stacked, the room moves with purpose, and the energy is contagious. Members asked if we're selling gear; outside of a few extra Assault bikes, we're keeping almost everything because we actually use it to make classes better.We also get real about training and health during heavy seasons. Moving a gym and rebuilding systems means the goal shifts from chasing PRs to maintaining sanity and capacity. One of us heads into shoulder surgery, scaling smart to protect the long game. That mindset—adapt, don't quit—sets up what's next for the show: bringing back regular conversations on fitness, nutrition, recovery, and medical insights with Cassie, plus honest takes on trendy supplements and training ideas flooding your feed.If you care about community, coaching quality, and results that last, this is the pivot you'll want to hear.

In this #coachbetter episode, Diana is going to share 8 Red Flags to Avoid When Building a Coaching Culture - and What TO DO Instead. As coaches and leaders we are doing our best to build a positive and inclusive coaching culture, but sometimes we can be making some big mistakes without even realizing it. When you look back on your own coaching experience - as a coach or as an educator or leader, you can probably remember a time when something didn't quite go as planned, or wasn't received the way we expected. Sometimes, even with the best of intentions we end up making a crucial mistake. So what are these red flags when building a coaching culture - and what do you do instead? Find the show notes for this episode here.

In this replay episode of Coach to Scale, host Matt Bonelli sits down with Josh Allen, a veteran sales leader from LogMeIn, CarGurus, Drift, and other notable companies, to unpack what it truly takes to elevate sales performance. Together, they explore the myths of sales leadership, why “what worked for you” won't always work for your team, and how curiosity, drive, and resilience shape top performers. Josh shares hard-earned lessons from building high-performing teams, along with strategies for identifying intrinsic traits during hiring and coaching salespeople with diverse motivations.Listeners will walk away with practical insights on connecting personal and professional goals, developing consistent coaching rhythms, and sustaining quota attainment without falling into the trap of “growth at all costs.” From nurturing top performers who are often overlooked, to coaching through adversity and building cultures of accountability, this conversation is packed with actionable takeaways for frontline managers, VPs, and anyone passionate about building resilient sales teams.Top Takeaways1. What worked for you won't work for everyone.Great sales leaders learn quickly that their personal playbook can't simply be copied and pasted onto their team.2. Hire for intrinsic traits, train for skills.Curiosity, drive, and resilience are largely unteachable, whereas sales processes and methodologies can always be refined and developed.3. Connect personal goals to professional performance.Helping reps tie career milestones to life goals (like paying off debt or buying a home) builds deeper motivation and accountability.4. Don't overlook your top performers.High achievers also need coaching and career development, not just attention to struggling representatives.5. Toxic performance is never worth it.Even the highest producers can't be allowed to undermine team trust or culture.6. Coaching is non-negotiable.Leaders who claim they “don't have time to coach” are missing the very activity that drives quota attainment.7. Focus on one change at a time.Like a golf swing, coaching is most effective when managers help reps improve one skill consistently before moving to the next.8. Long-term consistency beats short-term intensity.Sustainable sales success stems from steady development and efficient growth, rather than hiring sprees and short-lived pushes.

In this episode of The Doctor's Playbook, we sit down with Dr. Bruce Henschen, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Medicine and Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency at Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center. Dr. Henschen shares how leading by influence has shaped his approach to medical education, clinical reasoning, and patient care.

From his early days as a learner to his current leadership role, Dr. Henschen reflects on mentorship, teaching, and the values that guide him.Lead Host: Andrew MohamaSupporting Host: Kevin Grudzinski, MDGuest: Benjamin Singer, MDProduced By: Andrew MohamaShow Notes:Continuity With Patients, Preceptors, and Peers Improves Primary Care Training: A Randomized Medical Education TrialDr. Henschen's favorite app for organization and tasks: https://www.todoist.com/Alert & Oriented is a medical student-run clinical reasoning podcast dedicated to providing a unique platform for early learners to practice their skills as a team in real time.

In this replay episode of Coach to Scale, host Matt Bonelli sits down with Ben Johnson, VP at Zendesk, seasoned sales leader, and longtime CrossFit coach, to explore what it really takes to build a thriving sales career. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience at companies like Dell, Oracle, Workday, and Zuora, Ben challenges the myth that sales success is measured only by the quarter. Instead, he shares why the true differentiator is consistent coaching, a culture of accountability, and the willingness to sharpen your sword through personal development.Listeners will walk away with actionable insights on transforming performance improvement plans into coaching opportunities, creating cultures where vulnerability is strength, and distinguishing between “must-dos” and “how-tos” in sales leadership. From rebranding coaching as a growth engine to embracing “deeds, not words,” this conversation delivers timeless lessons for sales reps, managers, and leaders who want to play the long game and win.Key Takeaways1. Coach to the career, not the quota – Long-term success comes from developing people beyond just hitting short-term numbers.2. Performance Improvement Plans can be growth tools – When used correctly, PIPs should guide reps toward improvement, not serve as a punishment.3. Coachability is the key to success – The most successful reps are those open to feedback, willing to adapt, and eager to learn.4. Culture starts at the top – A strong coaching culture must be modeled by leadership and reinforced consistently across the organization.5. Preparation and debriefing matter as much as the meeting – Success comes from doing the pre-work, running the meeting, and reflecting afterward to continually improve.6. Focus on “must-dos” vs. “how-tos” – Clear expectations around the basics (like CRM hygiene) free up time to coach on higher-value selling skills.7. Deeds, not words – Accountability is proven through consistent actions, not promises.8. Get the bad news early – Addressing risks and challenges upfront allows teams to respond effectively instead of scrambling at the last minute.9. Invest in personal development – Ongoing learning, mentorship, and self-improvement are essential to staying sharp and thriving in sales.10. Find mentors and be one – Having someone to guide you (and paying it forward to others) accelerates growth and resilience in a sales career.

In this episode of Coach2Scale, author, professor, and board advisor Rachel Pacheco joins host Matt Bonelli to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of sales performance: meaning. Drawing from her research and experience working with fast-scaling startups and MBA students alike, Rachel challenges the myth that salespeople are only motivated by money or perks. Instead, she shows why helping reps find purpose in their day-to-day work leads to deeper engagement, higher productivity, and better retention, and why frontline managers have the greatest influence over that outcome.You'll hear practical ways to coach for meaning, how to deliver feedback that builds self-awareness and performance, and why micromanagement isn't the real problem, meaninglessness is. Rachel shares coaching tactics for time-strapped managers, explains the risks of cookie-cutter motivation strategies, and outlines how structured 1:1s can become high-trust development conversations. Whether you're a CRO, frontline manager, or enablement leader, this episode will help you rethink how to build a culture where performance and purpose go hand-in-hand.Key Takeaways1. Meaning is a daily experience, not a grand purpose.Most employees aren't searching for their “life's purpose” at work; they're looking for day-to-day meaning in their tasks, interactions, and progress.2. Managers play a central role in helping reps find meaning.It's a myth that meaning is personal and out of a manager's scope; the way managers structure work, give feedback, and coach reps directly influences how meaningful their work feels.3. Productivity increases when reps experience more meaning.Research, including studies by Adam Grant, shows that employees who understand the why behind their work are not only more engaged but also more productive and resilient.4. Motivation is personal and needs to be customized.Not all reps are driven by competition or money; some value connection, stability, or mastery, and managers must learn what uniquely drives each individual.5. Great coaching starts with structured autonomy.Managers should set clear expectations and outcomes, then give reps the space to figure out the “how”; this autonomy fosters ownership, trust, and greater meaning.6. Effective feedback is specific, timely, and impact-driven.Generic praise (“Great job!”) is forgettable; meaningful feedback highlights what was done well, why it mattered, and how it helped the team or business.7. Constructive feedback is a growth opportunity, not a threat.Most employees want more feedback, even the tough kind, but managers often avoid it due to discomfort, missing critical chances to drive behavior change.8. Curiosity is a manager's superpower.Asking thoughtful questions helps uncover what motivates each rep, what's holding them back, and how to connect daily work to a more profound sense of purpose.9. Coaching isn't about giving answers; it's about guiding reflection.Coaching helps reps build self-awareness, clarify decisions, and reflect on their growth; it's less about solving problems and more about building capability.10. Don't wait for better managers; teach your current ones how to coach.Many frontline managers were promoted without training; they don't lack intent, they lack tools. Organizations must invest in teaching them how to lead through coaching.

What if mastering the art of asking questions could turn you into an unstoppable leader? In this episode, Kevin chats with Dave Reynolds about how powerful questions can unlock deeper thinking, foster ownership, and promote growth in individuals and organizations. Dave shares insights on building a coaching culture where curiosity sparks conversations in every direction—up, down, and across. He explains the science behind how our brains respond differently to questions compared to directives and offers strategies for shifting from transactional to transformational leadership. From mirroring and probing to reframing and follow-up, Kevin and Dave explore practical ways leaders can build trust, strengthen relationships, and achieve better results.

Catch Episode 23 of Empower Yourself

In this episode, Sean Harvey, CRO at RocketRez, shares a practical framework for building coaching cultures that actually stick. He explains why trust, not tactics, is the starting point for real performance, and how coaching must move beyond pipeline reviews and into intentional skill development. From his early Oracle training to leading teams through hypergrowth and private equity scale-ups, Sean outlines the lessons that shaped his belief in coaching as both a performance lever and a retention strategy.If you're still coaching “on the fly” or stuck playing super-rep, this conversation will challenge your assumptions. Sean covers the link between psychological safety and rep engagement, how vulnerability-based trust unlocks real development, and why sustainable growth demands coaching at every level from C-suite to the frontlines. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of what coaching is, what it's not, and how to build a team that stays, grows, and performs.Key Takeaways1. Coaching must start at the top to stick long-termIf the C-suite doesn't model and prioritize coaching, it gets deprioritized the moment short-term pressure hits.2. Trust is the foundation of any real coaching cultureReps won't grow unless they believe their manager has their long-term development, not just this quarter's numbers, in mind.3. Vulnerability-based trust drives engagement and learning.Creating psychologically safe spaces where reps can fail and learn openly is what unlocks real skill development.4. Great managers coach people, not just deals.Coaching isn't about saving deals; it's about building reps who can consistently win without constant intervention.5. Consistency matters more than intensity.A lightweight but regular coaching rhythm beats sporadic “inspiration bursts” that vanish under pressure.6. You can't scale if you're only hiring more reps.Scalability means increasing productivity per rep, which only happens when you build coaching into the operating system.7. Coaching drives retention, especially in high-talent environmentsReps stay where they feel invested in, especially when they're being challenged to grow with structure and support.8. Managers are overwhelmed and under-equipped to coachMost FLMs were promoted as top reps but were never taught how to develop others; tools and frameworks help close this gap.9. The best leaders have coaching “trees”Just like in sports, great coaches produce other great coaches; mentoring others to lead is a force multiplier.10. Success is compounding when coaching becomes cultureWhen coaching becomes normalized, teams get better, faster, improving not just results, but predictability.

In this special episode of Coach to Scale, host Matt Benelli takes on a bold challenge: a live cold-call role play with Hyperbound's AI-powered prospecting bot one of the “rudest bots on the planet.” Joined by Hyperbound co-founder and CEO Sriharsha Guduguntla, Matt puts his skills to the test, showcasing how sales reps can practice real-world scenarios, handle objections, and refine their pitch with real-time coaching. The result? A raw, unfiltered look at what happens when the pressure is on and every word counts.Listeners will walk away with insights into effective prospecting, the power of permission-based openers, handling resistance with confidence, and how instant AI feedback can accelerate coaching and skill development. Whether you're a sales leader, manager, or rep looking to sharpen your edge, this episode delivers a front-row seat to practical techniques, lessons learned, and a clear takeaway: you don't have to love cold calling you just need to practice, improve, and get better every time.Key Takeaways1. Practice under pressure matters – Putting yourself in tough role plays with AI bots helps reps simulate real-world challenges and improve faster than passive learning.2. Instant feedback accelerates growth – AI delivers coaching in real time with detailed scoring criteria, so reps don't have to wait for a manager's one-on-one to learn what to improve.3. Consistency beats comfort – You don't need to love cold calling, but consistent practice builds confidence and competence over time4. Three types of prospectors – Some salespeople thrive on cold calls, some avoid them but claim they do, and managers often love them because they don't have to make them anymore, recognizing this helps leaders coach more effectively5. Objection handling is a teachable skill – With structured practice and coaching, reps can learn to confidently navigate push back and still secure meetings6. AI empowers both reps and managers – By offloading repetitive role plays and providing objective coaching, managers can spend more time on strategy while reps still get valuable development.7. Anyone can try it – Hyperbound makes its prospecting bots publicly available so sales professionals can test themselves, practice as often as they want, and benchmark improvement

They provide a blueprint for rebuilding self-trust and developing the critical skill of discernment—learning to listen to your body over the hype and invest from abundance, not lack. This episode is your invitation to be part of a new paradigm of leadership—one rooted in transparency, sovereignty, and joy.
