Today I launched a brand-new workshop: Leader as Partner – Enhancing Connection

What a day in Winter Park, Colorado, with the fall leaves reminding us all to be grateful and present. 🍂

A huge thank you to Vistage Chair Roger Snow for inviting me back for a second retreat - and for trusting me to evolve the experience. Twelve months ago, it was with his members. This time, we brought their significant others and partners into the room too. ❤️

The three themes?

PRESENCE. PURPOSE. CONNECTION.

We explored how we show up for the people who matter most, reconnected with our values in the context of family and business, and each person drew their own Everest for their current Life of Climb.

And finally… they discovered their partner’s T.A.S.T.E.

Want to know what that stands for? Send me a DM, and I’ll happily share it with you. It’s a simple tool for anyone wanting to connect on a deeper level - in and out of the workplace.

I absolutely LOVED facilitating this retreat. And there was a lovely full-circle moment too…

More than 20 years ago, I ran my tennis dating business, Doubles for Singles.

Because the same coaching skills that transform leadership - listening, curiosity, values, and better conversations - can transform our most important relationships too.

I'm excited to already be booked for my next one in Leavenworth, WA (end of October)!

Help me, Coach EM… where do I even start with my bucket list?

Inspired by birthday month and a reminder not to wait for a significant number to celebrate another lap around the sun. This month’s Coach EM Vlog includes a simple Bucket List Starter Questions playbook to help spark better conversations, curiosity, and action.

Each letter in M.Y. B.U.C.K.E.T. L.I.S.T. gives you a fresh idea and a coaching question to spark action - for example:

K = Kind Acts for Others:
What could you do that would make a difference for someone else?

What’s ONE thing on your bucket list?

Every month, I share practical coaching questions, tools, and leadership tips designed to help you coach people better.

The Coach EM Vlog lands on the 1st of every month.
Want in? Comment “YES” or message me your email, and I’ll add you to the list and email you the playbook.

What does it really mean to invest in people?

In this episode of The Coaching Podcast, I sit down with Coach Rufus Keown to explore growth mindset, coach development, and the compounding power of helping people improve - even by just 1%.

We explore why great coaches:
• invest in their people
• help talent see a vision for the future
• ask questions that open up possibility
• keep learning themselves

And Rufus shared three words that sit at the heart of great coaching:

Empathy. Learning. Growth (mindset).

One of my favourite takeaways?

Legacy is about having the courage to make change.

Update from Atlanta, GA: A great question is 7–10 words long.

Gold dust from Vistage Chair Linda Gabbard this week. 💛

And dinner the night before demonstrated something equally important - your CARE factor. Thank you, Linda, and the fabulous hospitality from Marianna Land-Taylor! And to Kyle Ankiel, from Concord Creative, Inc., for hosting.

When I first started The Coaching Podcast nearly 10 years ago, I used to ask:

Long questions.
Stacked questions.
Confusing questions.
Questions followed by an explanation of WHY I was asking the question.
And sometimes… an explanation AFTER the question! 😂

As I approach 10 years of podcasting, Linda’s message reminded me of something powerful:

Great coaching questions don’t need a runway.

Get curious.
Ask the question.
Then… SHUT UP and listen.

For example:

What does success look like? (5)
What is the real challenge for you here? (8)
What would courage look like? (5)
What are you not saying? (5)
What are you willing to do differently now? (8)
What would your best self do next? (7)

Simple. Clear. Powerful.

What’s your favourite 7-10 word coaching question?

Another Aussie in Denver just in time for the AFL watch party!

One of the things I love about mentoring through the Denver Global Landing Pad is meeting incredible entrepreneurs from around the world - and this time, I got an Aussie!

Meet Mat Graham, Founder & CEO of InSquare.

InSquare is a movement-intelligence platform that turns human movement into measurable performance - looking at areas including strength, balance, power, speed, reaction, and cardio.

Mat has brought InSquare all the way from Australia to Denver to explore the US market, build relationships and discover where this technology could make the biggest impact.

We had a fantastic coaching conversation - followed by a walk around Denver - exploring business, performance, connections, and possibilities.

More to come on this one…and for now, you can check out: insquare.fit

Thank you to the entire DEDO team for everything you do, and I appreciate being included Simsick Vanessa, and Stephanie Garnica.

What if ONE question could change the direction of your life?

In my latest episode of The Coaching Podcast with Vistage chair Nancy Girres, we explored some questions worth sitting with:

If you weren’t afraid, what would you be doing?

Paint me a picture of what the perfect outcome would look like.

And this one really makes you ponder:

If nothing changes and you wake up five years from now, what does your day look like?

Now ask yourself:

Is that what you really want?

Great coaching isn't always about having the answers. Sometimes it's about having the courage to ask - and answer - the questions that make us think differently.

Which brings us to another BIG one:

What’s your WHY?

Nancy shared hers: “I love helping people close the gap between the life that they are living and the life they want.”

And finally, a comment from my good friend Kelley Bee sparked another train of thought during this conversation:

You don’t have courage - you DO courage.
You don’t have love - you DO love.
You don’t have results - you DO results.

What’s the gap between the life you’re living and the life you say you want?

That question sits at the heart of my latest conversation on The Coaching Podcast with Vistage Chair and Executive Coach Nancy Girres.

This one gets personal.

We explore:

• Why motivation is often about the environment we create
• The power of peers and having people who care enough to challenge our thinking
• Living authentically rather than trying to make everyone else happy
• Making wise decisions

We only get one beautiful life. So one coaching question is:

What needs to shift today to close the gap between the life you’re living and the life you really want?

Thank you, Nancy, for your vulnerability, wisdom, and willingness to go there with me.

This week I found myself in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, surrounded by some brilliant leaders, facilitators, and timeless leadership wisdom.

A huge thank you to Vistage Chairs Mike Gallagher, Steve Bobowski, and Zack Bobowski for the opportunity to work with your groups.

One member shared something that really stayed with me:

“Coaching is more about orchestrating than manipulating.”

I love this.

Manipulation tries to control the outcome.

Orchestration creates the environment, asks the right questions, brings out the strengths of each person and trusts them to perform.

That is coaching. And what a backdrop for these conversations, from the stunning Lodge Geneva National to the Dale Carnegie Training Center of Southeast Wisconsin.

Being there felt like stepping into some of the earliest leadership books I ever read. Two reminders from Dale Carnegie’s Golden Book really stood out:

“Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.”

This idea has been around for years, yet why is it still so difficult?

Because coaching is a higher level of communication.

Closed questions are easier. Telling is faster. And yet, asking great questions creates ownership, thinking, and growth.

And this one:

“Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.”

In other words, raise your expectations AND let people know you believe they are capable of rising to meet them.

Because we don’t simply GO to the next level. We GROW to the next level.

What is one leadership principle you keep coming back to, no matter how many years you’ve been leading?
