Coaching, Listening and Leadership with Sumit Gupta

<p>This episode is all about coaching and leadership. If you want to get better at either of those, this is the episode for you. 🙌<br> <br> Sumit shares the value of having a personal coach, how listening is a gift and how each coaching skill is also a leadership skill.</p> <p>My favourite learning is how he breaks down communication into different conversations. Doing so allows you to focus on which conversations are most challenging for you, and get better at having them.</p> <p>Enjoy 🎙</p> <p>Connect with Sumit Gupta:<br> <a href="https://linkedin.com/in/sumit4all">https://linkedin.com/in/sumit4all</a><br> <a href="https://www.deployyourself.com/">https://www.deployyourself.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLK8ICmUgnfTXH6Sm3Q_TSg">https://twitter.com/sumitgupta4all</a></p> <p>New episodes every Wednesday with our host&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-akil">🎙Patrick Akil</a>! &nbsp;<br> Big shoutout to&nbsp;<a href="https://xebia.com/">Xebia</a> for making this episode possible!</p> <p>Full episode on YouTube ▶️<br> <a href="https://youtu.be/iDVY07k9SNs">https://youtu.be/iDVY07k9SNs</a></p> <p><br> OUTLINE:<br> 00:00:00 - Intro<br> 00:00:25 - Why Sumit coaches people?<br> 00:02:21 - Sumit's journey with Entrepreneurship<br> 00:03:59 - From creating software to helping people<br> 00:08:27 - Realising you can do anything<br> 00:10:29 - How to inspire and motivate<br> 00:11:58 - The value of a personal coach<br> 00:16:07 - How do you create a safe space?<br> 00:20:07 - Leaders being open and vulnerable<br> 00:24:05 - 100% transparency and openness<br> 00:30:06 - Allowing others to contribute<br> 00:32:15 - Gradually taking on leadership responsibilities<br> 00:35:47 - Can leadership be learned or taught?<br> 00:39:15 - No judgements and nothing is negative<br> 00:42:54 - How do you get better at coaching?<br> 00:44:43 - coaching and leadership skills<br> 00:49:13 - Asking for help<br> 00:51:21 - Leadership is about giving<br> </p>
