On this episode of The Coaching Podcast, we delve into the highs and lows of coaching. Our guest is business development coach, Chris Lazzuri who authentically and honestly shares an early coaching experience about the pitfalls of labeling someone as 'uncoachable' prematurely and emphasizes the importance of dropping excuses, being adaptable, and seeking common ground. Discover the power of guiding individuals to realizations they never considered on their own, using thought-provoking questions to unveil new perspectives. As we navigate through the episode, we examine the concept of burnout, explore the qualities that make a great coach through the "ACE" framework, and gain insights into performance management conversations. We talk about the dynamics of the hybrid workplace, and a compelling reminder that in the ever-evolving landscape of professional success, soft skills overwhelmingly contribute to 85% of job success. So, whether you're a seasoned coach or someone eager to enhance your coaching skills, this episode promises a wealth of insights to elevate your coaching game.

About Chris Lazzuri- Business Development Coach – CML Consulting & Coaching

An experienced leader focused on improving the growth of professional service firms and individuals. I develop, deliver, and coach business development processes, activities, and concepts. My success is demonstrated through building relationships, creating growth plans, and expanding career paths. I am an expert facilitator, coach, and consultant, skilled at growing revenues through consultative selling. Today's business culture is driving innovation faster than ever. Often people are hesitant to attempt something that could be special because business development, leadership, and "soft" skills are scary to them. I coach or train people through these challenges, helping them thrive and grow. The individuals and teams I work with take that next step in their professional and personal growth by being stronger in those areas. Firms are better able to identify and implement development that leads to better retention, increased profitability, improved growth, and easier recruiting. Both can be more confident and effective, and fortunately, I have the opportunity to help them accomplish that.
