Reynolds cites the latest brain science to show why reflective inquiry works and provides techniques, tips, and structures for creating breakthrough conversations.

Silence is one of the least discussed and one of the most important keys to coaching. Will Rogers said “Never miss a good chance to shut up.” Silence lets you do that and you don't need an excuse.  Another quote I love is this one. “I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.” ― Chaim Potok, The Chosen

What you can learn in a moment of silence is very profound, and the one of the foundations to coaching. Use it and your influence and impact will continue to grow. Go grow you influence as you learn to listen more effectively so your impact will grow.  

And I love this quote “Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.” ― Leonardo da Vinci - If you want to increase your authority increase your ability to listen in silence.

Ernest Shackleton's great Antarctic Adventure was a colossal failure. His grand plan was to cross Antarctica via the South Pole, but his ship got stuck in the Weddell Sea and sank. He failed. What began as one man’s desire for a great adventure soon turned into a lifesaving moment. His ship was sinking because of his failure, but now, far more important, was the new crisis in front of him: how would he save his crew? In that moment of crisis, Ernest Shackleton used his leadership power to save every single crew member. He devised a plan; he executed that plan. He and his crew lived on the ice flow of the Weddell Sea for nearly nine months. They nearly died because of his initial failure, but they lived because of his triumphant ability to lead amidst unprecedented chaos.

In the next three episodes we will explore some of the most important leadership qualities of Ernest Shackleton. We will use his story of crisis and leadership to discover how you can use his grit, determination, and creativity to help lead your team in these turbulent times. When asked about his heroic efforts and his ability to save his team Shackleton said "Everyone will have an Antarctic moment." I’d argue that we are in our Antarctic moment today. Our future is uncertain; we are living in unprecedented times and now, more than ever, we are called to be Shackleton-like leaders. This is your moment to rise and lead your team amid chaos and the unknown. Together, we will explore the wisdom and knowledge of a legendary leader whose tale serves as a guidebook in leading through troublesome and chaotic moments.

  1. How to Overcome Your Fears of Coaching! In this episode I asked a group of C-level managers what is their fear of coaching, and their fear of their management team coaching. It was amazing to see the results of this discussion. In this episode I share some of the fears of these managers, and the fears for their management team regarding coaching. It made me pause and consider the fears that managers had about coaching. It has widened my perspective of how fear can keep managers from coaching and leading their team.  We must replace that fear with hopes, dreams and aspirations. What will you replace your fears with?
