Updated: More From the Experts

0:05Hey, Dave here from Coaching for Leaders. A few days ago, I aired an announcement here about a big new benefit that I've just made available inside of Coaching for Leaders Plus, our membership, a brand new members-only podcast with a weekly fireside chat format directly from me. And perhaps you already heard the one that I shared here on the podcast in recent days. But I left something out of that announcement that's now also a part of our members-only podcast called Dave's Journal. You see, every week here on the Coaching for Leaders podcast, I interview a top leadership expert. People like Michael Bungay Stanier, the author of The Coaching Habit.

0:46Muriel Wilkins, host of the Coaching Real Leaders podcast. Tom Henschel, host of the Look and Sound of Leadership podcast. David Marquet, author of Turn the Ship Around. Jonathan Raymond, author and creator of the Accountability Dial, and Ruth Gautian, and Kwame Christian, and so many other folks that I've learned so much from over the years, as you have. And I do my best to ask all of them the questions that I know you would want me to ask them. But we never get to everything. That's because we've got limited time in the 40 minutes of the episode, and also because, best as I try, I can't possibly know every question that you would ask.

1:30And that's why for a number of years now, I've been hosting a private event every month for our Academy and Pro members that we call an expert chat. In each one of the monthly expert chats we do, I invite someone who's been a past guest here, who's appeared on the podcast, and to join in with us and have our Academy and Pro members ask them detailed questions about their work. And as you'd expect, it's really different than what airs here on the podcast because, unlike here, it's not me asking the questions. It's our members asking the questions of the experts directly. Our panel of Academy and Pro members drive that conversation with the guest experts, and they're all peer leaders who, like you, are working to implement what they're learning here in our community inside of their own teams and organizations.

2:24We have had so many experts join us over the years for this monthly event, including all the people that I mentioned earlier, plus folks that I know many of you are familiar with who've been featured here on the show before. Many of you follow as well. Folks like Amy Gallo, David Hutchins, Scott Barlow, Oscar Trimboli, Lisa Cummings, Liz Wiseman, Cassandra Worthy, Melody Wilding, just to name a few of them. And we have been recording these conversations for years and making the video recordings available to all of our existing Coaching for Leaders Plus members. A number of you have jumped in and benefited from those over the years.

3:02But we're now also adding the recordings to the monthly audios of our new members-only podcast called Dave's Journal. Those recordings are joining the 10-minute weekly fireside chats that are coming personally from me. And I should add, I've been hosting our expert chats now since 2020, and Coaching for Leaders Plus also includes all full access to the entire library of recordings since we've started, including all the folks I mentioned earlier. You can join in with us right now inside of Coaching for Leaders Plus for full access by going to coachingforleaders.plus. And if you join with us by Friday, November 20th, I've got a special invitation for you.

3:46First, if you join in with Coaching for Leaders Plus by the 20th, I'm extending a special invitation for you to join me for a live online event that we're scheduling in early December for a behind-the-scenes look inside of Coaching for Leaders. A lot of folks ask me questions about how we produce the show, the history of the podcast, how the business works, some pulling back the curtain for a live online event to talk about the behind-the-scenes things of how things actually work. And if you join Coaching for Leaders Plus before November 20th, well, by November 20th, rather, you'll receive a personal invitation from me for this live online event.

4:29We're going to do it in early December. And yes, we'll have a recording if you're not able to make it with us live. And of course, all of our existing Coaching for Leaders Plus members are getting invited too. Second, if you're one of the many leaders who shares this podcast regularly with your team. We now have team memberships for Coaching for Leaders Plus available so your entire team can access the private podcast and everything else inside of Coaching for Leaders Plus. And if you set up a team membership for your team, whatever the size, between now and Friday, November 20th, I'll personally join your team live online for one of your upcoming staff meetings to take questions from your team on whatever topic would be most helpful for you and your team right now.

5:14Once you do, I will reach out personally to schedule with you. So both invitations are just through Friday, November 20th. You can find details for a team membership at the bottom of the Coaching for Leaders Plus page, or you can go there directly by visiting coachingforleaders.com slash team. So monthly recordings of our members' conversations with guest experts in our monthly expert chats that come to you on the Members Only podcast. and those join the weekly fireside chats from me of my audio journals, all inside Dave's Journal podcast, all directly from me. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other modern podcast app you're using.

5:54But the Members Only podcast is for members only. That means that unlike the main Coaching for Leaders podcast here, you're not going to find it on the normal search function inside of those apps. You do need to be a Coaching for Leaders Plus member. And once you are, we're going to send you the instructions and credentials to get full access on whatever podcast app you use. So go over to coachingforleaders.plus if you do so before Friday, November 20th. A special invitation to join me live online in December for that special behind-the-scenes look inside of Coaching for Leaders. And if you start a new team membership by then, a personal virtual visit from me to one of your upcoming staff meetings.

6:32Nothing changing here on the main podcast or all the free membership benefits that over 50 ,000 of you already enjoy. Just a big addition here for our existing and new Coaching for Leaders Plus members. And speaking of existing members, thank you for already allowing me to support you through membership and enabling us to be a fully member-supported platform over all these years. Our next regular episode is coming on Monday. Take care.
