Michael Bungay Stanier helps people be a force for change. He’s best known for his book The Coaching Habit, which has sold close to a million copies and has thousands of 5-star reviews online. His latest book How to Begin helps people find the clarity and courage to take on a Worthy Goal and start something thrilling, important and daunting. He founded Box of Crayons, which helps organizations move from advice-driven to curiosity-led.
Tyler and Michael’s discussion focused on living a fulfilling life by setting worthy goals, and embracing the power of curiosity to tame our “Advice Monsters” – our knee-jerk reactions to offering advice. Highlights include:- The three aspects of a worthy goal
- How Michael gains clarity for the best use of his talent and resources
- The realization that we’re deeply wired to commit to the status quo
- The framework Michael uses to start projects
- Why asking a question doesn’t doesn’t feel as good as giving advice
- How to tame what Michael calls our “Advice Monster” through curiosity, and the consequences of giving advice as a default response
