    It's Not Power That Corrupts--It's Pressure: Sabina Nawaz on Micro Habits and Blank Space

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Erwin de Grave and Dr. Steve Jeffs sit down with executive coach and author Sabina Nawaz to explore why leadership fails under strain—and how to fix it. Drawing on 12,000+ pages of verbatim 360° feedback and her new book You’re the Boss (Simon & Schuster, 2025), Sabina argues that pressure—not power—corrupts leaders. She introduces two deceptively simple antidotes: Blank Space (scheduled time to do “nothing” so insight can surface) and micro habits (behaviors so small they’re almost laughable—think one mindful breath a day). The conversation ranges from C-suite structure and pre-game rituals to practicing calm under low stakes so it’s available when it counts. Practical, contrarian, and deeply humane.

    Method Acting Your Future Self: Travia Steward's BECOME Framework for Leaders

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, Erwin de Grave and Dr. Steve Jeffs sit down with former theatre educator turned executive coach Travia Steward. After 24 years teaching high school theatre—and a life-redefining cancer diagnosis—Travia discovered coaching as the arena where her passions for performance, psychology, and personal transformation converge. Drawing on the craft of method acting, she shows clients how to embody their future selves now—closing the gap between aspiration and action. Travia unpacks her BECOME framework: start with your Baseline (the operating system you’re running), Embody the identity you’re aiming for (artifacts, posture, environment), Clarify values and vision, Own your power (stop handing your “thermostat” to others), practice the Method daily (on-stage reps in real life), and Execute consistently to make identity-backed habits stick. Along the way, she introduces vivid metaphors—your invisible “soundtrack” and the overstuffed “suitcase” of old meanings—to help leaders rewrite unhelpful scripts, show up with presence, and turn values into behavior. Whether you’re pursuing a promotion, leading teams, or rebuilding confidence, Travia’s message is simple and empowering: identity before outcome—become the person who creates the result.

    Courage Over Comfort: Merci Miglino on Mastery, Misconceptions, and Fearless Coaching

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, MCC coach Merci Miglino traces her journey from political burnout to coaching mastery—and how teaching Level 1 & 2 coaches in China (via real-time translation!) sharpened her philosophy of radical simplicity. She argues that the leap from PCC to MCC is less about technique and more about confidence: the courage to ask direct questions, release attachment to outcomes, and work in the energizing space of not knowing. Merci spotlights fear as the hidden driver beneath indecision and “stuckness,” reframing the coach’s role as a synthesizer who surfaces the misconception creating the client’s current reality. She champions direct communication (as distinct from evoking awareness), shares powerful frames—“So what?” and “What’s the misconception here?”—and describes intuition as unconscious competence that coaches must dare to voice. We also touch on legacy, lightness vs. significance in decisions, and how confidence and intuition intertwine.

    Eric Maisel on Rekindling Creative Love: Daily Practice, Praise, and Permission to Err

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave sit down with prolific author and creativity coach Eric Maisel to explore what really powers a creative life. From his winding path—writer, psychotherapist, and pioneer of creativity coaching—to launching a new international association for creative and performing artists, Maisel shares candid, practical wisdom. Key themes include: Creativity vs. Innovation: Innovation is a subset; creativity is the broader human drive to make meaning.The Emotional Landscape: Why exposure, criticism, and questions of “does this matter?” make creative work so vulnerable—and vital.Daily Practice as the Antidote: The simplest, most reliable protection against months (or years) of not creating.Rekindling Love: Return to the five- or six-year-old self who fell in love with story, image, and music—on purpose.Praise and Feedback: “I liked it” doesn’t land. Artists need generous, specific “I loved…” affirmation plus kind, sparing critique.Post-Performance Recovery: How adrenaline spikes can fuel addictive patterns, and why creatives need recovery-style rituals after “showtime.”Ceremonial Bridges: Shift from the “get it right” daily mind into the “permission to err” creative mind with a repeatable micro-ritual.Meaning Left (Not Meaningless): Activities in service of meaning won’t feel meaningful every day—and that’s okay.
