A great coach meets individuals where they are and helps them address their immediate challenges, whether those are strategic or emotional in nature.

In coaching, I don't engage with people's stories; instead, I connect with the deeper essence of who they are, beyond their narratives and strategies.

To achieve emotional clarity, I encourage emotional inquiry, which involves exploring and understanding the emotions we often avoid, allowing for deeper insights and problem-solving.

When faced with emotional challenges, it's beneficial to focus on the problem at hand, take breaks, and then return to it for effective coping.

Coaching founders on how to handle difficult decisions, like letting someone go, involves helping them focus on the future and being resolute in their choices.

In CEO coaching, I focus on understanding what prevents me from making difficult decisions and seeing the necessary perspectives to keep my company moving forward.

Emotional clarity involves embracing all emotional states rather than managing them. This approach leads to better decision-making and reduces passive-aggressive behavior.

Conflict management is essential; we address issues directly during one-on-ones and performance reviews.

The process of learning from emotional states can lead to significant personal growth, especially when reflecting on both positive and negative experiences.
