Advice is Overrated—Here’s Why.

Have you ever felt frustrated when people ask for your advice… then ignore it?

We’ve all been there. Someone asks for your advice, you offer your best thinking… and they shoot down every idea. Frustrating, right? You might even walk away wondering, “Why did they ask me in the first place?”

Here’s the truth: Advice is a set up. If they do take it and things go wrong, guess who they’ll blame? Yes, you're right—it would be you!

But what if there’s a better way?

• What if, instead of giving advice, you led with curiosity?

• What if you asked powerful questions that helped them uncover their own insights and solutions?

• What if you supported growth instead of offering quick fixes?

That’s the heart of coaching—and it’s a game-changer in leadership.

Learn how to shift from advice-giver to insight-builder in our Leader as Coach Mastery Program. It’s not just a skillset—it’s a mindset that empowers your team and lightens your load.
