This YouTube clip features Dan Sullivan (via a Strategic Coach episode) describing a coaching exercise for entrepreneurs: he creates scenarios prompting them to record clear examples of leadership with clients/customers, note the biggest lesson from each situation, and then decide what they will do next with that discovery. The process helps entrepreneurs make previously unseen connections and identify novel next steps.

Chapters

I've created all these different scenarios for entrepreneurs. For example, I know you're really into transformative leadership, and I'll ask them, where is it very clear that you've given great leadership to other people, that you're with clients, customers, and everything else? And then I would create a sheet of paper where they could log these in. And then I'd say, what's the biggest thing you learned from this situation? And what I notice is they start making connections that they've not made before. And then I say, well, that's the way it's been up until now. What are you going to do next with this discovery you have? And they say, this is the thing. And it's all new. It's all new. They've not thought about this before.
