Haritosh Srivastav explains the 80/20 listening rule for coaching: spend 80 percent listening and 20 percent speaking to draw out the best in your clients. The ratio flips what most coaches do, letting clients find their own answers instead of being told them.

When I'm coaching people, not on the podcast here because this is different, but when I'm coaching somebody, I like to follow the 80/20 rule where I'm spending 80% of the time listening and 20% of the time asking and guiding. And if you can do that, then I think you could be a very successful coach because you're bringing the best out of them. And that, that's what we do as a habit for coaching.
