Transform from advice-driven to curiosity-led

The Coaching Habit® learning program was developed to tame The Advice Monster™ in everyone — the well-meaning habit of giving advice too quickly.

The program teaches people the new skill of coach-like curiosity by providing practical tools to change habits. When advice-habits are moderated, and leaders stay curious longer, independent and engaged people emerge and your organization thrives.

Advice-Driven

  • Overwhelm: Creates overdependence in employees and burdens managers.
  • Risk of Burnout: Energy spent on solving the wrong problems.
  • Low Engagement: Less autonomy and trust due to emphasis on external guidance.

Curiosity-Led

  • Psychological Safety: Care in listening and encourages discussion.
  • Growth Mindsets: Promotes self-direction and discovery independently.
  • Improved Engagement: Greater commitment to solving core issues.

What people say about the Coaching Habit®

Like many organizations and leaders, participants all had previous coaching exposure and experience. Many said this was the best by far, particularly the style, the 5 Questions, taming the advice-giving monster and doing/being AWEsome. Leaders have already applied learnings (at home and at work!) and we’re looking forward to the ongoing focus and impact of more coachlike leaders.
