"Not all conflict is bad," says Amy Dufrane, EdD, CEO of HRCI.

When people talk through a tough thing at work, hearing each other out can actually make a big difference in how it feels.

Amy and our CEO Magdalena Nowicka Mook dig into that, plus AI and the future of work.

"Leadership brand" is one of those phrases that sounds soft until you realize it's the whole game.

It's how people experience you under pressure, over time.

How has coaching shaped the way you lead?

If you had to name one coaching skill that matters more now than it did five years ago, what would it be?

The longer you coach, the easier it is to walk into a session assuming you've heard it all before.

But then your client says something that reframes your conversation, and you remember you're still learning too.

The beautiful thing about coaching is that it's work that keeps teaching you, session after session, as long as you stay open to it.

When did a client last teach you something you didn't expect?

Think back to your best learning moment as a coach. Was it something you read or someone you talked to? 🌱

Self-awareness isn't a trait some people are simply born with.

It's a practice that tends to deepen when someone helps you see your own blind spots.

What's helped you understand yourself more clearly?
