Let's get started.

Brett McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

Whether you're a parent, a manager, or a mentor, we all have to coach people at some point

in our life.

But how do you coach in a way that makes the recipient receptive to your feedback but doesn't take

up too much of your time and energy?

Well, my guest day has spent his career coaching managers on how to be better leaders at work

and he's distilled his knowledge on how to coach effectively in his latest book.

His name is Michael Bungai Stanger and his book is the coaching habit.

And today on the show, Michael and I discuss how effective coaching requires you to talk less

and ask more questions.

And then Michael walks us through the exact questions you should ask when coaching someone

that will guide them to the answer they need to make their needed improvement.

This works across domains, whether you're a parent, a business, even if you're sports coach,

the stuff will work.

A lot of actual advice.

Make sure to check out the show notes at aam.is slash coaching habit after the show is over

where you can find links to resources where you delve deeper into this topic.

Michael Bungai Stanger, welcome to the show.

It is very good to be here.

Thanks for having me, Brett.

So you've written several books.
