In this episode we explore coaching presence—how leaders show up, listen, and create space for others. We discuss practical habits that protect attention (phone-free meetings, intentional check-ins, short mindfulness exercises) and tactics for deeper listening: asking curious questions, sitting with silence, and centering the other person’s agenda. We examine trade-offs—time pressure, notifications, back-to-back Zooms—and offer simple remedies leaders can adopt to be more present and energize their teams.
