About this listen
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.)

Well designed audio book and additional material
You can tell, that this isn't just a narration of the book (which I have too), but thought out how to turn this book into a great audio book. Well done! the interviews at the end of every chapter really helped me to see more applications of the theory presented. Also there is a Bonus Chapter with quotes, references and book suggestions.

Its not all about not giving Advice
Michael has published a complimentary piece, with this book, to his already well acclaimed book The Coaching Habit. This book however only briefly reflects on the previous publicatipn and so 99% of this book is new and thought provoking.
An Excellent book and a must read for all new and old coaches and leaders!

Excellent concise lessons
I found this book the be a really nice follow-on from The Coaching Habit. It contains concise and to-the/point lessons\advice on coaching which continues on from The Coaching Habit, but also can stand alone.
It focuses on some of the key “traps” and simple techniques that make a big difference.

Taming the advice monster
This book is absolutely fantastic. It helps to gain insight into why one is inclined to give advice rather than listening to the real issue and what to do about it. In my case it is more often than not a time issue. I need a fast result but it never tends to lead to the real solution. This book helps me to look at the benefits of giving advice and compare this to the costs. I have encountered all advice persona in various coaching sessions and am now able to recognise them. I stay curious longer and am able to help my coachee to put actions in place for the real issues. I have asked a previous difficult to coach person, what's on your mind? And followed it with What else in various forms... Guess what? We actually got a lot closer to the real issue than we ever did. Thanks for this amazing tool.

Excellent and eye opening book
Great advice to support anyone looking to be more coach like. the author is credible and entertaining. The additional material in the audiobook, above what is in the book, makes this well worth having.
