  • Where Coaching Goes Wrong with Charlotte Jordan

    Where Coaching Goes Wrong with Charlotte Jordan
    Feb 17 2026
    What if the biggest barriers to coaching weren’t tools or talent — but clarity, trust, and courage? In this episode of Owlcast, David and William sit down with Charlotte Jordan, CEO of Coaching.com, to expose the biggest mistakes leaders and organizations make when building coaching cultures — and how to fix them fast. From misusing coaching to “fix” poor performers, to the wild‑west chaos of unstructured coaching programs, to the quiet power of manager‑as‑coach, Charlotte brings a rare 360° view of the coaching world. If you’re a leader, coach, or building a coaching culture, this conversation will change how you think about developing people.

    Key Topics:

    · Coaching fails inside organizations when there’s no clarity.
    Coaching becomes ineffective when companies aren’t explicit about what coaching is, what it is not, and what it should be used for. When organizations treat coaching as a catch‑all solution, it turns into a solution for nothing.

    · Using coaching to “fix underperformers” is a major pitfall.
    Charlotte calls out that many organizations put poor performers into coaching long after the decision has already been made to exit them. This turns coaching into a checkbox exercise rather than genuine development — and destroys trust.

    · Coaching cultures fail without aligned leadership.
    A sustainable coaching culture must include manager skill‑building, executive sponsorship, and clear modeling of coaching‑like behaviors. Visibility + credibility = sustainability.

    · Managers need coaching skills, not coach labels.
    The false divide between “manager” and “coach” keeps organizations stuck. Coaching is not a title — it’s a set of behaviors. Great leaders ask: “What are you working on, and how can I help?”

    · Decentralized, Wild‑West coaching creates chaos.
    Charlotte warns that unorganized coaching efforts across departments dilute definitions, confuse employees, and prevent impact measurement. Without structure, teams can’t tell what’s working — or if coaching works at all.

    · Measurement matters — even in early stages.

  • Managing vs. Coaching: Stop managing tasks, start growing talent

    Managing vs. Coaching: Stop managing tasks, start growing talent
    Feb 10 2026
    Are you eliciting the best or the worst from your team? Most leaders fall into the trap of the "Manager Mindset"—focusing on control, task deadlines, and providing all the answers. In this episode of OWLCAST, David Morelli and William Oakley explore the profound shift from managing tasks to coaching talent. By understanding that your team's performance is a reflection of the environment you create, you can unlock productivity that is 4 to 6 times higher than traditional management results. It's time to stop "managersplaining" and start asking the questions that turn average performers into top talent.

    Key Topics:

    · Environment Elicits Self: Human beings aren't static; we show up differently depending on our environment. A leader's primary job is to set a "container" that invites a person's best self (creative, invested, kind) rather than their reactive self (defensive, disconnected, average).

    · The Control Paradox: Managing is often synonymous with control, but people crave autonomy. Ironically, the more you try to control a process, the more likely you are to stifle the very talent needed to execute it.

    · The Death of "Managersplaining": When you give an answer that an employee already knows, they tune you out. Instead of "spraying" information, use the Educator style to find the "information gap" and help them discover the answer themselves.

    · Who Owns the Problem?: In the Strategist style, the most important question is "Who is doing the problem-solving?" If the leader always provides the solution, the team takes zero risk and has zero accountability.

    · The "Move Across the Country" Test: Transformational leaders impact lives so deeply that their team members would consider uprooting their lives to continue working for them. This level of loyalty is earned through the Transformer style—coaching the person, not just the career ladder.

    · One-Question Coaching: Shifting to a coaching mindset doesn't require a total calendar overhaul. Start by asking just one good coaching question before diving into your regular meeting cadence.

  • The RESPECT Routine: A Weekly Rhythm for Growth and Alignment

    The RESPECT Routine: A Weekly Rhythm for Growth and Alignment
    Feb 3 2026
    Are you crushing the week, or is the week crushing you? Many high-performers suffer from the "Sunday Scaries," feeling like their schedule is a chaotic force beyond their control. In this episode of OWLCAST, David Morelli and William Oakley introduce "The RESPECT Routine"—a 10-minute mental framework designed to help you reclaim ownership of your time. By applying the seven RESPECT styles to your own life as a pre-week and post-week reflection, you can transform a repetitive grind into a series of intentional "wins" and continuous personal discovery.

    Key Topics:

    · The "10x Effect" of Planning: Citing efficiency expert Brian Tracy, the hosts note that every 1 minute spent planning saves 10 minutes in execution. A 10-minute routine can net you 90 minutes of reclaimed time.

    · The Power of the Pause: New brain synapses and creative insights occur during the "pause" between activities. Taking the time to think deeply provides a "ROI on tuition" (learning from expensive or time-consuming mistakes).

    · Ownership vs. Dreadlines: Moving from "I need to" to "I am going to" shifts your mindset from meeting external standards to exercising internal control, reducing "Sunday Scaries."

    · Retrospective Depth: For those who naturally look out the "windshield" (the future), the post-week routine provides "deeper roots," ensuring lessons stick rather than being repeated over and over.

    · Versatile Application: This routine isn't just for individuals; it can be used as a dinner table conversation with children to build emotional intelligence or as a team icebreaker to boost morale and performance.
