The Coaching School
Welcome to The Coaching School—the podcast where leadership development is taught like a cooking school.
We've reimagined our long-running Coaching Conversations podcast into a practical, engaging learning experience designed to help leaders become exceptional coaches.
At The Coaching School, we believe coaching isn't a personality trait—it's a skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered.
Every episode gives you another ingredient, another recipe, or another secret sauce you can immediately use to develop your people.
Our Coaching Ingredients are the different types of coaching every leader should know—from one-on-one coaching and group coaching to peer coaching, observational coaching, career coaching, self-coaching, and AI-assisted coaching.
Our Coaching Recipes combine those ingredients into proven, step-by-step approaches for real workplace challenges. Whether you're coaching accountability, motivation, communication, teamwork, difficult attitudes, performance improvement, emotional intelligence, or career development, we'll show you exactly how to structure the conversation.
Then we share the Secret Sauces—the small coaching techniques that create extraordinary results. You'll discover powerful questions, accountability strategies, learning projects, recognition techniques, feedback models, motivational approaches, and practical coaching habits that transform ordinary conversations into meaningful moments of growth.
Every episode is designed to be practical, actionable, and easy to apply. Our goal is simple: help leaders feel more confident coaching their employees while helping employees feel great about getting better.
Whether you're a new supervisor, an experienced executive, an HR professional, a coach, or someone passionate about developing people, The Coaching School will provide you with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to coach more effectively.
So grab your notebook, pull up a chair in our coaching kitchen, and let's start cooking up stronger leaders, stronger teams, and stronger workplace cultures.
The Coaching School—where great leaders learn the recipes that help people grow.

Self-awareness is the ability to recognize and understand your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is an essential skill that helps you improve your relationships, manage your emotions, and make better decisions in life.
There are two main components of self-awareness: internal and external. Internal self-awareness involves understanding your own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. This includes identifying your strengths and weaknesses, values, and personality traits. External self-awareness involves understanding how others perceive you and your impact on them. This includes feedback from others, understanding social cues, and how your behavior affects others.
One way to develop self-awareness is to practice mindfulness, which involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. This can help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, and develop a better understanding of your inner world.
Another way to increase self-awareness is to seek feedback from others. This can help you gain a better understanding of how your behavior affects others, and identify areas for improvement.
Self-awareness is not only important for personal growth, but it also plays a critical role in leadership and decision-making. Leaders who are self-aware are better able to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, manage their emotions, and communicate effectively with others.
In summary, self-awareness is a crucial skill that involves understanding your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Developing self-awareness can help you improve your relationships, manage your emotions, and make better decisions in life.
