Reflective Listening – Dealing with Anger

Anger shows up — at work, at home, in the middle of a coaching call. The instinct is to smooth it over and move on. But people who don't feel heard don't move forward. Here's how reflective listening acknowledges both content and emotion, plus the well-meaning responses that shut people down.

How we Remember is How we Create

Just Added: Coach-Style Leadership Workshop on November 18. Discounted price until August 1!

“After leading teams for more than 20 years, I joined this workshop looking for a better way to lead through collaboration rather than always having the answers. The workshop challenged my perspective on leadership and showed me that coaching-style leadership isn’t about lowering expectations, it’s about creating greater ownership, accountability, and growth through thoughtful questions and genuine curiosity. Taking the workshop alongside members of my executive team also helped align how we communicate, problem-solve, and support one another day-to-day. I left with practical tools that immediately changed the way I lead and the way our team works together.”

–Brenda Forman, president Merlot Marketing

Skills you will learn at the Coach-Style Leadership workshop:

• Deep listening

• Curiosity and powerful questions

• Worldview and what it means

• Making clear agreements

• Holding others accountable to their agreements

 Testimonial: “I feel so lucky to be a part of this program, of this group, of this community of like-minded people. I realize how much each person has brought to my life. I realize how connected I feel despite our challenges of being together physically. I realize how much fun it has been and continues to be. But the real eye opener? I realized how expertly this program has been designed. I realized how brilliantly we are all put together and the opportunities we are given, consistently, to build this network of support. And the value adds? I recently did the math on how much value we get just from the one on one coaching we receive. Then I added the value of the coaching we receive from the staff coaches. Then I added the value of whatever money we are receiving as coaches for our intern clients. Mind blown. Put in that framework, we are getting a very powerful bang for every buck spent on this training.” – Wendy Green

This week we’re joined by Professional Coach, Coach Trainer, and Owner of McLaren Coaching, Cami McLaren to talk all things leadership. Cami joins the Glow Up, Gyrl podcast this week to discuss coach-style leadership and how she works with leaders and organizations to integrate a new approach to empower and guide their teams.
In this insightful episode, we explore strategies for productivity, mindset shifts, and overcoming roadblocks with our guest Cami McLaren, founder of McLaren Coaching. Cami shares her unique perspective as a former lawyer who transitioned into coaching musicians and professionals from various fields. Get ready to dive into practical tips, thought-provoking discussions, and personal insights that will empower you to unlock your full potential.
Cami tells us about her experience pursuing a dream that is “that big” while acknowledging “who she would have to be” to achieve it. In her pursuit of safety, she traditionally played small and invisible. Cami challenges the concept that you have to believe something before you can achieve it. Tune in to hear how Cami discovered the power of community and being challenged to do the thing that scares you.
Today we are going to explore accountability and why it’s important to have an accountability partner. I am so excited to introduce you to my accountability partner, Cami McLaren, and we trust you are going to be empowered to create accountability partnerships going forward. We believe it is a catalyst in taking the lead in your life. Let’s go!
