E19 | Creating Space for Thinking: The Leadership Habit that Makes a Difference

In this episode we dig into Chapter 3 — Mindset Is Everything: Developing Your Inner Coach. Damian and Elaine define a coaching mindset as a way of being: trusting people, committing to continuous development, creating intentional reflective space, staying alert to culture and context, and bringing your authentic self and intuition to the work.

We cover practical tactics leaders can use today — short weekly learning rituals, free industry briefs, quick coaching moments during a walk or commute, and Nancy Kline–style rules for reflective spaces (silence, good questions, place, and non-interruption). Learn how to move conversations from present → future and surface → depth so teams learn faster, make better decisions, and stay resilient amid change.
