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.

Welcome And The Big Promise
SPEAKER_00Welcome to the coaching school. Progress Coaching is launched an individual membership-based coaching school for leaders who really truly want to take their career to the next level by learning how to apply coaching. Now, this is a different type of community, but more importantly, it assists leaders on an individual scaled basis. For example, when you join, it's a monthly membership, yet, what you get are weekly lessons and a weekly coaching guide that corresponds with the lesson. Every month there will be a theme along with four lessons that will support that particular month's theme. In addition, there will be a badge of completion where voluntarily people can complete a case study activity showing their competence in that particular

SPEAKER_00area, which allows them to grow their career, grow their resume, grow their expertise. In addition, we provide unlimited access to our AI coaching platforms that allow leaders to build coaching plans for themselves, their teams, their individual team members. In addition, members will be allowed to attend member-only best practice sharing sessions where instruction, discussion, practice sessions will be facilitated with members. In addition, every single month we will provide a free course from our LMS platform teaching a specific area of coaching. Now, the whole goal is to

SPEAKER_00work with individuals, but do it on a grand scale that allows us to not only scale the cost for individuals, but give them the same access that we do to our clients who typically do larger projects. The coaching school is dedicated to providing what we call recipes. Now, what's a recipe? A recipe is where we combine ingredients into a strategy. What are the ingredients? The ingredients could include one-on-one coaching, observe and journal coaching, self-coaching, group coaching, one-on-one coaching. See, most leaders think lead leadership coaching is this one-on-one time-intensive endeavor. It actually isn't. So we're actually basing the coaching
Coaching Recipes And Core Ingredients
SPEAKER_00school off of a cooking school model. Not only do we give you the ingredients that we teach you how to combine into a recipe for absolute success, we also give you some of the secret sauces. Let me give you an example. Recently I was at a credit union and we were talking about this in concept. And somebody said, Well, give me an example, because here's what my team's going through. And we ended up devising a group coaching plan, peer-to-peer practice for the group members that takes none of the leaders in-person time. And then what we did is we created a journal-based coaching initiative and we timed it out. And the leader was amazed because she said, This is only going to take me 40 hours a month of my own time. Yet I'm deploying all these different coaching strategies. I said, Yes, here's the secret sauce. This
A Scalable Plan From The Field
SPEAKER_00is the premise of the coaching school. We not only give you the ingredients, we mix and match those ingredients for a great recipe, but we give you some of the secret sauces. I said, for every single one of these, apply what we call a learning project. So when they do the peer-to-peer coaching, we'll give you scoring sheets that they fill out as part of their learning project to validate they actually practiced. Number two, when they do self-coaching, have them do a weekly or bi-weekly summation, teaching you what they've learned about themselves that they're positively committed to improving. That's a self-awareness question turned into a learning activity. A learning activity is what is prescribed, and it puts the ownership and accountability from an action perspective on
Learning Projects As The Secret Sauce
SPEAKER_00the rightful owner, the person actually being coached. This is the whole premise of the coaching school. We not only give you the ingredients, we teach you how to mix and match those ingredients into a great recipe, and then we'll create the secret sauce for you. Now, the secret sauce, yes, it's a little corny, it's a little cliche, yet at the same time, this is what can accelerate talent development. Now, if this intrigues you, check out the coaching school. Join us. There's a free membership, and there are two levels of paid membership.
