Welcome to The Coaching School—the podcast where leadership development is taught like a cooking school. We've reimagined our long-running Coaching Conversations podcast into a practical, engaging learning experience designed to help leaders become exceptional coaches. At The Coaching School, we believe coaching isn't a personality trait—it's a skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered. Every episode gives you another ingredient, another recipe, or another secret sauce you can immediately use to develop your people. Our Coaching Ingredients are the different types of coaching every leader should know—from one-on-one coaching and group coaching to peer coaching, observational coaching, career coaching, self-coaching, and AI-assisted coaching. Our Coaching Recipes combine those ingredients into proven, step-by-step approaches for real workplace challenges. Whether you're coaching accountability, motivation, communication, teamwork, difficult attitudes, performance improvement, emotional intelligence, or career development, we'll show you exactly how to structure the conversation. Then we share the Secret Sauces—the small coaching techniques that create extraordinary results. You'll discover powerful questions, accountability strategies, learning projects, recognition techniques, feedback models, motivational approaches, and practical coaching habits that transform ordinary conversations into meaningful moments of growth. Every episode is designed to be practical, actionable, and easy to apply. Our goal is simple: help leaders feel more confident coaching their employees while helping employees feel great about getting better. Whether you're a new supervisor, an experienced executive, an HR professional, a coach, or someone passionate about developing people, The Coaching School will provide you with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to coach more effectively. So grab your notebook, pull up a chair in our coaching kitchen, and let's start cooking up stronger leaders, stronger teams, and stronger workplace cultures. The Coaching School—where great leaders learn the recipes that help people grow.

    Leave Your Butts At Home And Coach Better

    Send us Fan Mail One tiny word can sabotage an entire coaching conversation. We dig into why “but” quietly deletes praise, why “I’m frustrated” can hijack the room, and how a simple swap to “and” changes what your team hears and feels. We walk through practical leadership communication you can use immediately, including framing an improvement area as a future strength and asking questions that spark ownership instead of defensiveness. We also get real about AI in the workplace. We love the tools and we use them, but we’re blunt about where automation can backfire, especially around performance reviews, merit raises, and promotion news. If AI saves leaders time, we argue that the real win is reinvesting that time into human-based coaching, relationship building, and the kind of trust that makes hard feedback possible. You’ll hear a story-driven look at coaching “negative attitude” employees without labeling, shaming, or escalating. The takeaway is a repeatable approach: practice conversational skills, use neutral language like share, opportunity, perspective, and observation, and commit to a series of conversations that help people change and sustain it. If you want better employee engagement, stronger performance conversations, and leadership coaching that actually sticks, listen through and try the language out loud. Subscribe, share this with a leader who coaches, and leave a review, then tell us what phrase you’re going to replace first.
