5 questions to ask any AI coaching tool before you share everything with it:

1. Does it tell you it's AI?
2. Where does your story go?
3. Is a human within reach?
4. Was it built for coaching?
5. Does it ever push back?

@bcndp Maybe come up with a new narrative. It seems like this is all you’ve got.

@BowinnMa Thanks for making the civic election even more cluttered. Did we really need this now?

@maxlaiNV An open All-candidates meeting would have been nice - have you talked to the powers at be about scheduling one @maxlaiNV

@ThomasDrance It’s great to have you back @ThomasDrance - Hopefully the path to the upcoming season involves you onair and/or hosting a podcast.

Thinking about hiring a coach but unsure where to start? First, ask yourself:
- What do I want to change?
- Do I feel safe being honest with this person?
- Does this feel like it will be a partnership?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Don't worry about being the most interesting person in the room, just try to be the most interested person in the room.

The interested person asks about others and leaves a good impression because people like talking about themselves. The interested person is genuinely curious about someone's craft and learns a lot about how things work. The interested person engages with more people and—because opportunities come through people—is more likely to catch a lucky break.

In general, the interested person learns more and tends to be well-liked. And in the long run, it's hard to keep down someone who is well-learned and well-liked.

Why does coaching work?
Newer thinking points to the psychological 'nutrients' that feed flourishing – a sense of choice, connection, and growth.
Coaching is built to provide all three. 🌱

@TheSportMarket Absolutely agree. How about a business partnership with #BCIT and monitor their studios (and maybe put their students to work in the process).

[Barry Forward @BarryForward]

@BCSportsNetwrk How about partner with #BCIT and monitize some of their studio space?

Still mourning the loss of my daily infusion of #CanucksTalk via #Sportsnet650 - I��m back here on #X so I can find those #Vancouver sports voices I loved so much. Let us know where you all land @SadClubCommish @MikeHalford604 @SatiarShah @ThomasDrance

[Cam Barra @CamJBarra]

Hire these people, you fools!

[Thomas Drance @ThomasDrance]

It a tough day.

I was proud to be part of 650 and to put out the #CanucksTalk product we did (@JamieDodd @DomSramaty).

We never took for granted how lucky we were to do it.

Thanks to everyone who listened + supported the station. And best of luck to my tremendous colleagues.

"The gap between knowing what you want and going after it is where fear thrives. You don’t need enough courage for the entire journey. You only need courage for the next step."
