Most organisations say they coach their people but very few actually do it well.

Daniel is wrapping up Season Two of Because Growth Matters with a solo episode to reflect on the themes that kept showing up across every conversation.

From elite sport to sales leadership, hiring, culture, customer success and even the nonprofit world, one powerful thread ran through it all. Coaching works when it is done properly.

While many organisations talk about coaching, most struggle to implement it in a consistent and effective way. Coaching often becomes the first meeting cancelled and the last activity measured, despite its proven impact on performance and revenue.

Daniel breaks down why coaching fails in practice, including the coaching illusion where managers confuse firefighting, deal reviews, or group updates with real coaching.

Daniel introduces a simple and practical coaching framework used within Growth Matters, including the ICE coaching model and a three step coaching process that managers can apply immediately.
