Episode notes
In this episode of Stop. Drop. & ROLE, Jen challenges leaders to drop the outdated “command and control” mindset and embrace coaching as a core leadership practice.
Using the ROLE framework - Reflect, Observe, Listen, Evolve - we explore what coaching really means, how it shows up in day-to-day work, and why it’s essential for building trust, accountability, and development of both the leader and the team.
You’ll hear actionable insights, powerful questions, and a few tough truths about how most managers think they’re coaching - but aren’t.
If you're ready to shift from directing to developing, this episode is your first step.
🎧 Challenge of the week: Replace one command with one coaching question. See what happens!
