Sometimes, the best way to help someone isn’t by giving them the answer—it’s by letting them talk until they find it themselves.
In this episode, I share the real-life stories that taught me the value of verbal processing—from a frustrating night with algebra homework to coaching leaders in high-stakes environments.
You’ll learn why speaking out loud changes how the brain works, how leaders can create more confident and capable teams, and how YOU can use this approach to stop the endless cycle of solving other people’s problems for them.
That’s why I created Asynchronous Leadership Coaching—so you can get personalized, private guidance exactly when you need it, without waiting for the next call.
Beta spots are open until September 30, 2025.
Let’s turn “I should be doing better” into “I’m doing it.”
