So what are the capacities that will allow them to lead effectively and how do we help them grow those skills?

Michael Bungay Stanier is the founder of Box of Crayons, a company best known for teaching 10-minute coaching so that busy managers can build stronger teams and get better results. He has also written a number of books.

Jim Dethmer has been coaching for nearly three decades and it shows. He's the founder of the Conscious Leadership Group and co-author of the acclaimed book - The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. In this episode we explore a powerful transition we can make in our coaching, from what Jim calls 'By Me' coaching to 'Through Me' coaching. By Me coaching is a great place to be. We are empowered. A master of our training, experts and in control. But can also become a safe place to coach from. If we are to access our coaching genius then we need to surrender our tight grip and open to something greater than us, that can come 'through us' to permeate the coaching. Jim shows us the gateways to making this powerful shift! A list of resources mentioned in the podcast can be found here: https://www.coachesrising.com/podcast/jim-dethmer-coaching-from-source/
