541: Ten Years of Leadership, with Dave Stachowiak

Dave Stachowiak: Coaching for Leaders

In August of 2011, I started Coaching for Leaders as a small, side project. Ten years later, the show — and the community around it — have grown beyond my wildest expectations.

In this conversation, my friend Scott Anthony Barlow of Happen to Your Career celebrates the 10-year anniversary of Coaching for Leaders by interviewing me about my journey.

Key Points

I originally started the podcast as a side project to support a future transition into academia.
Three things that I focused on at the start that are still central today: useful conversations, audio quality, and consistency.
Focusing on quality and depth of conversations is more valuable than trying to hit everything.
I realized at some point that I needed to make an affirmative choice to grow the side project into a business.
Although I had considered a transition away from Dale Carnegie for years, my actual departure was (ironically) a non-event.
Behavior change is a painful but necessary step in the learning process.
There are two ways to bring light into the world. One is to be the light — the other is to reflect it.
