Conversations With Coaches

Gail Rudolph has spent years as an executive, maneuvering the power dynamics that happen in all interpersonal and business interactions. As the USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Power Up Power Down, she's the go-to expert on harnessing interpersonal power and creating win/win outcomes.

In this episode, Gail and I dive into some of the key distinctions between coaching and consulting and the ways that "motivation" can be so much different than "inspiration" - especially when it comes to taking action.

We also talk about her Generational Awareness Program (GAP) and how, using the DISC assessment as a foundation, she explores the different ways that certain traits and characteristics manifest across the generations.

We even get into some of her work with famous author and thinker Robert Cialdini, and how "persuasion" isn't about selling someone something they don't want, but discovering and providing what they DO want.

Clearly, we cover a TON of ground for such a short podcast! :)

Vicky is dedicated to helping you navigate through the human, emotional, and irrational stuff you need to work through to be the best you. You’ll often find her sharing information that she finds helpful, practical, and simple to implement. Vicky’s coaching specialties include life, business, mindset, transformation, and CBT.

In this episode, Vicky and I have a delightful conversation about her journey to becoming a coach and how much her coaching is really a matter of guiding people to the truths that people already know about themselves. We also touch on New Year's Resolutions, the power and insight in one-to-one coaching, and why it's so important to heed "the guru within".

A washing machine and a water heater also make an appearance. :)

Benj is a 10x founder and the chief architect of System & Soul—a business framework to help leaders everywhere gain clarity, control, and breakthrough. His goal is to transform 25,000 companies by 2030 - because small businesses are the life-blood of our communities.

In this episode, we talk about how Benj first discovered the tremendous satisfaction he experienced by being in the position of "guide", the very important difference between Consulting and Coaching, and how he's helping senior leaders become "torch-bearers" who pass this light and heat around to every member of their team.

We also touch on how important it is for leaders to not only refrain from obscuring truths about their business but also to actively work to unearth those truths and share them with everyone on the team. It's only then that the real work can begin.

Benj is definitely an experienced "podcasteur", which is a word I just made up for someone who's adept at both guesting on and hosting a podcast. He shares my passion for thinking less in terms of an interview and more in terms of a conversation - because that's where the real value is discovered.
