This week I will be speaking with Michael Bungay Stanier, Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, and Author of “The Coaching Habit” and “Do More Great Work”. I’ve loved the book and look forward to the “thought for the day” I get every morning from Box of Crayons. No matter what you do (sports, school or career), you’ll find their ideas easy and helpful. In this episode, we’ll talk about just what his 2 books say – how to do more great work by developing a coaching habit.

At Box of Crayons, Michael and his team of facilitators teach 10-minute coaching They don’t offer a thousand shades of leadership and an endless variety of programs. Instead, they’ve chosen instead to focus on one thing and do it really well. They teach 10-minute coaching so your managers build stronger teams and get better results Our simple goal is to have the very best coaching program there is. At Box Of Crayons, they want to be a strategic contributor, partnering with their clients to find the bigger game, and to make sure that what they offer best contributes to that.
About Michael: Balancing out these moments of success, Michael was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident”, was sued by one of his Law School lecturers for defamation, and his first published piece of writing was a Mills & Boone short story called “The Male Delivery.” Michael left Australia 25 years ago to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where his only significant achievement was falling in love with a Canadian, which is why he now lives in Toronto, having spent time in London and Boston. He was the first Canadian Coach of the Year.
