EP 109: Speed comes from focus, not talking fast

Shownotes

What’s the point of driving fast on a long detour? We might as well go much slower, but on a direct path and save time and energy.

Coaching works the same way. “We need to speed up coaching” is a common thing I hear. And yes, telling IS faster than asking, but often sends us on a racing detour.

However, there are simple ways to get to results in conversations faster (that’s what we mean by saying ‘coach faster’).

An error in thinking that I often observe is that ‘talking faster’ helps the most here. In reality, speed here comes from more FOCUS.

In this podcast episode, I’ll show you why rushing your words won’t speed up results and what actually works instead:

Establish clear conversation agreements

Avoiding unnecessarily extra detours (like asking what people have tried before).

Invite conciseness rather than extensive talk

Want to hear more? I recorded this podcast because it’s such a common theme among my clients and I share quite a few examples how to do this well.

Curious how you all get to results faster, and not by talking faster 😊
