I found episode 696 with Marshall Goldsmith to be an amazing source of leadership wisdom. Discussing his earlier book in detail brought several nuggets for leaders, especially the discussion on goal obsession as a habit that holds leaders back. His new language is “addiction to achievement.” If you are wondering if Dave is worth your time, wonder no more!! Stan in Towanda

I’ve been listening to this podcast for many years and have benefited greatly from the wisdom of these insightful conversations. The podcast’s wisdom and insight help me get unstuck, move forward, and try new things on a consistent basis. Dave is a kind and respectful host who listens deeply and asks powerful questions that open up the conversation. I love how it challenges my unquestioned assumptions and levels up my self-leadership. Thank you Dave!

I’m a recent subscriber to the pod and I just finished the 2015 episode with Simon Sinek. It really was such a fantastic episode, just as relevant today given this episode is almost 10 years old! The host David guided the episode with thoughtful questions and responds to Simon’s answers with the same level enthusiasm and validation that I was expressing whilst listening to this episode. I’ve recently completed a course in executive leadership at UCLA Anderson and have just shared this episode with my fellow cohorts. I’m excited to continue to listen to vast catalogue of episodes covering so many important leadership discussions.

My 40 minute commute to work is sacred time spent listening to Coaching For Leaders. Each episode is packed with practical , relatable and peaks of wisdom so much so that I am loving this long commute to work. I know I am not alone on my leadership journey when Dave introduces his listeners to some great minds and inspiring leaders. Dave’s warm welcome and tone of voice offers a genuine invitation to learn, do better and be better. I begin my day with a sense of calm and equanimity all thanks to this podcast. I stand deeply grateful.

Listen & judge.

Just started listening to the pod but I love it! I listen to a few each time I walk my dog (they are long walks)! Thank you for the great content!

This has been my most favored, 5-star leadership podcast. However, the show numbers have disappeared and it’s almost impossible to find an episode I’m looking for. I wouldn’t have thought it would make such a difference on how I feel about the show, but it does.

This podcast is fantastic for leaders (and emerging leaders) that are looking to be highly effective in their jobs. I get a nugget of wisdom and a few ahas out of every show! Thanks Dave!

Was good right up until this last episode where race was brought up every other minute. Merit based not race based

This is been one of the most beneficial shows for me professionally. I learn so much. Thanks for the work you do.

This is my all time favorite podcast. I come back to it time and time again. It is smooth, relevant and has genuinely changed how I manage staff. I’m very grateful for the insights I’ve gained listening. Grateful to you, Dave!

Dave does a great job of explaining all concepts and giving examples. I would definitely recommend!

Coaching for Leaders is a fine example of what a podcast should deliver to its audience. The topics are relevant, timely, and relatable. The guests are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and informative. Dave does a great job hosting and brings a true professional approach to each episode. Well worth a listen.

I’ve heard Dorie interviewed on a bunch of shows now and this was the most actionable. The host, Dave, asks thoughtful questions that bring unique and actionable advice out of his guests. For me, Dave is my favorite podcast host.

This is one of the staple podcasts that I listen to when I can. I am a nurse leader and a Mom of 3, and this podcast has helped me tremendously become a better nurse leader and a better Mom. For example, it was a struggle to get my teenagers engaged and have a conversation with them. The series on personality and engagement, as well as communication, helped me deal with my teenagers in a more understanding way, so I was more relatable to them. Career-wise, I credit this show for helping me climb up the ladder because I become more self aware. That said, I capitalize on my strengths, seek feedback and assistance on projects that I was weak on, and become aware of my default settings as an introvert to make the best-informed decision. Thank you, Dr. Dave and Dr. Bonnie for sharing your talent to the world. Thank you also for a great show every week. Please continue to invite experts on the show to share their stories and continue to share your stories as well. May God bless you! Best, Dr. Martin

Without question this is one of the best podcasts I have ever invested myself in listening to daily. I truly believe you can become a better leader, and overall person, by applying the principles discussed. I was referred to this podcast over a year ago after not being successful in interviewing for a new job. Dave’s stories and examples have been very helpful in getting my skillset where it needs to be in preparation for my next career opportunity. At the end of the day only the listener can improve themself through daily application. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to develop their leadership skills. You will not regret it!

Dave's weekly interviews are deep, insightful and impactful. If you're looking to grow as a leader, this is a must-listen podcast. Thank you for your dedication! While leaders aren't born, you help them development one episode at a time!

This has been my number one listen on my daily commute over the past two years. Makes the traffic a delight and I absolutely get what I need in daily inspiration. I love the weekly email summary and online library. My only sadness comes from having caught up to current episodes. No more bingeing. On the positive side I now anticipate new episodes like a child awaiting Christmas morning... or maybe an adult lusting over practical gifts I didn’t have to buy myself. Either way, Dave and Bonnie bring the joy and all the practical gifts I could desire in this podcast.

Just discovered this podcast and binging now from episode 1! I love that the leadership tips are paired with real-life examples. It’s a great way to solidify the learning. Thank you for your knowledge and expertise!

Dave has the unique ability to ask the right questions. Not necessarily the usual ones. He taps into the foundational thinking that supports the next level of leadership and introduces you to thought leaders and visionaries that have walked before us and are among us. Dave’ leads with humble curiosity that is both inspiring and insightful. Coaching for Leaders is an invaluable resource for you and your team if you want to be pushed to the next level of success and performance. Thank you Dave and your team for all of the tireless work you do each week to bring such a magnificent resource and connection. Shandy

I love listening to this podcast! It’s helped me refine my leadership skills. This podcast loses me on their social justice talk. It’s quite offensive to refer to Hispanics as Latinx. Calling us Latinx means that you’re asking us to change a language that’s been established for centuries. According to research, actual Hispanics do not identify with the term Latinx.

Dave manages to hit a relevant note. Great guests and conversations. Worth the listen!

So insightful episode! But, I’ve not seen men tell women that they’ve learned from women! :)

This podcast meets at the junction of your professional and personal development. Work is a big part of our lives, so this podcast doesn't only makes sense, but also mirrors the reality of life and work intertwined. The host covers interesting topics and knows how to ask the right questions!

As a leader of a non profit, I am always looking for ways to improve our culture, operations, and communication. I end every Coaching for Leaders podcast I listen to with eye opening ideas that I can implement immediately. So helpful! I appreciate such a diverse group of people sharing their experiences with us. Thank you Dave!

This podcast curates very usefully interviews and presentations about the ideas and mechanics of leading people. Content is fresh and on point. Dave most often asks a concise question and the guest is given appropriate room to have their say on and idea. The companion website has A TON of useful data for free. What I like most: Dave ends most episodes with callbacks to specific previous shows that link to a particular topic. This makes listening to the catalog of older episodes much more enjoyable.

One of the best leadership podcasts. Great guests and conversations

I was looking to move into a leadership position for the first time and knew that if I was going to be who my team needed me to be I would need to grow. After searching many podcasts, this is one of the few I came back to time again. I’m now a year and a half into leading. Because of this podcast, I have discovered many authors and books. Dave draws out so much from each guest.
