The Advice Trap

Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever

De: Michael Bungay Stanier

Narrado por: Michael Bungay Stanier

From the author of the phenomenal best seller The Coaching Habit comes a book of advice...on how to give less advice. Ah, the irony.

The Coaching Habit was an unexpected best seller: over 750 thousand copies sold so far, a Wall Street Journal best seller, and used by people and organizations around the world. If The Coaching Habit says, “Here are the seven essential questions to be more coach-like”, The Advice Trap is about getting to grips with how to actually change your behavior, so you stay curious a little bit longer.

It sounds like it should be easy, but it’s not. To get there, leading coach and trainer Michael Bungay Stanier offers specific coaching strategies, particularly on how to focus on what matters most. The audiobook of The Advice Trap gives you tools to make your conversations, coaching, and otherwise, irresistible.

If you’ve already heard The Advice Trap, thank you, and there’s a ton of added value content for you in the audiobook, too. Michael’s invited other voices to respond to what was most useful for them in each of the chapters, so there are different perspectives and less of a monologue of advice.

You’ll hear from:

• Pau Gasol, NBA All-Star
• Dr. Alex Osterwalder, leading management thinker
• Dr. Kofi Hope, co-founder of Monumental
• Feyzi Fatehi, CEO of Corent Technology
• Leanne Hughes, host of the First Time Facilitator podcast
• Dr. Shannon Minifie, CEO of Box of Crayons
• Sandy McIntosh, EVP and CHRO of TELUS
• Tyson Yunkaporta, author of the acclaimed book Sand Talk

In 2019, Michael Bungay Stanier was named the number-one thought leader in coaching, and was short-listed for the coaching award by Thinkers50, the “Oscars of Management”. His works been featured in journals such as HBR, Fast Company, Forbes, and Inc., and his company, Box of Crayons, has trained more than 100,000 people, regular managers, leaders, and individual contributors in the tools and mindset required for this essential leadership behavior: staying curious and being more coach-like. You’ll get all of that wisdom and experience when you listen to The Advice Trap. (And, by the way, thank you in advance for buying it and listening.)

Best quick read I’ve found to date

I read this book over a few days and found it a n immediate impact and positive influence to my coaching. Highly recommend!!

So useful

This book in addition to the coaching habit has had a profound affect on my professional life and I highly recommend it. It is simple to understand and yet I can practice for the rest of my life.

this is a keeper!

I love this book and I will listen to it again soon. the author does a fantastic job of narrating.

this book makes the most of the audio format by bringing in other people for discussion about key points in the book. this technique, along with other formatting features, makes it easy absorb the valuable concepts that are presented.

the information in the book is invaluable and inspiring. certainly one of my favorite audible purchases.

Immediately became a favorite

this book was great, not only from the content POV - this, as well as the author's other book, The Coaching Habit are jam packed with those sheepish 'yup, that's me' moments- but also a really great audiobook experience. as someone who always groans when an author self- narrates (another laughing moment when he called me out on that up front), this one broke the mold. full of audiobook only content, and hilarious additions the eukalali cracked me up every time) it was really well done and enjoyable. I'll definitely be listening again and recommending to others.

Book of the Decade!

Michael this so far exceeded my expectations which were extremely high after reading the book. Grateful to my Son in Law Richie Norton and Marshall Goldsmith for introducing us✌🏽🔥❤️

Go for it!

Dear reader... Go for it! It is not a complex concept. But MBS goes all the way in making sure you get it all and enjoy. So... enjoy 😎

Great book , very helpful

This is the deep dive version of the coaching habit. I was hesitant at first to buy it because I thought it would just be redundant but it ended up being very worth while. Even though there are some similar mentions in this book and the coaching habit, this book goes much deeper. I even ordered the actual book to use as a reference because I liked it so much.

Great!

I will definitely be listening to this many times over. A great complement to The Coaching Habit.

Real life application

Narrator is amazingly spirit filled with genuine enthusiasm for long lasting personal and professional growth.

Helpful, New Information After 'The Coaching Habit'

I couldn't find any reviews that confirmed this was a different book from the author's prior work. Just finished listening---yes it is! I found it even more relevant to my personal struggles than was 'The Coaching Habit,' which i found to be quite practical and wise. I highly recommend this to anyone for whom the title feels remotely compelling. I found the advice to be actionable across life contexts, and look forward to rereading it over the coming weeks and months, as I intend to put these principles into practice.
