Episode 204: 3 Coaching Skills Every Leader Needs—Let’s Do LAPs!

There are three coaching skills you cannot forgo in your leadership and career, and they are LAP: 

  • Listen. 
  • Ask questions. 
  • Pause. 

Seems simple enough, right?  

Wrong. 

Trust me when I say there is an art to executing each of these skills. When done wrong, it can be dismal and tiring. But when done right, it not only fuels your career and leadership, but those of the people in your company! 

I’ll teach you how to do it the right way. By the end of this Your Brilliant Difference Podcast episode, you’ll learn: 

  • Lessons from workplace coaching experiences (from myself and clients). 
  • Why coaching is crucial for workplace success now more than ever. 
  • The difference between the three tiers of listening and how to tap into all. 
  • How to form your coaching questions to be open-ended, strategic-thinking starters. 
  • The power of pausing and when to use it. 

You’re only one listen away from growing your coaching skills, bringing the most out of yourself and people.
