625: The Coaching Habit That Brings Out The Best In People with Michael Bungay Stanier

What if the fastest way to create deeper conversations, improve your leadership abilities, and your relationships wasn't a better plan—but a better question?

 My guest today is Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit, the most popular coaching book of the century, to unpack why most of us rush to give advice too quickly and how staying curious just a little longer can change everything. 

You'll hear Michael talk about why we're all "advice-giving maniacs," how asking better questions leads to better outcomes, and the simple coaching framework Michael has taught to coaches and leaders around the world. You'll learn his most powerful questions and why they unlock clarity, accountability, and trust.

Whether you're a parent, leader, manager, spouse, or maybe you're someone who wants deeper, more meaningful conversations, you'll learn how coaching is really about helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered—not fixed.
