Coaching is at the heart of gaining leverage as an organisation, yet a lot of business leaders feel as though they could do more of it.

In this week’s podcast, Mike and Ryan share exactly what coaching is and help solve common obstacles holding leaders back from beginning their coaching journey (hint: is not as time consuming as you’d thing and you don’t have to know all the answers!).
They get specific on HOW to be a coach and share some great tips on how to have a coaching mindset. Mike and Ryan share 4 phrases that can help you catch and take advantage of valuable coaching opportunities:

1. “This is a coaching moment”

2. "Because"

3. "How would you do it?"

4. "How do you think that went?"

MINISODE 14 - Are You The Best In Product, Price or Customer Experience?

Welcome to Business Leader Breakthroughs Minisode Series. Every Friday, we will post a shorter version of a popular previous episode so you get all the best bits in half the time. This weeks episode is about the competitive tripod- choosing 1 of 3 areas of your business to focus in on, and excel at.

Mike and Ryan discuss the competitive tripod - a framework to help you get clear on what you need to be great at to differentiate your offer in the market. Every business needs to think about their price, their product and their customer experience, but SMART businesses go deeper and think about which one will be the main focus. When you focus on beating the market in one area, and then meeting the market in the other two, you’ll set yourself apart from your competitors and it'll make running your business a whole lot easier.
