    About this audiobook

    From the author of the phenomenal bestseller The Coaching Habit comes a book of advice...on how to give less advice. Ah, the irony.

    The Coaching Habit was an unexpected bestseller: over 750 thousand copies sold so far, a Wall Street Journal bestseller, and used by people and organizations around the world. If The Coaching Habit says, “Here are the seven essential questions to be more coach-like,” The Advice Trap is about getting to grips with how to actually change your behaviour so you stay curious a little bit longer.

    It sounds like it should be easy, but it’s not. To get there, leading coach and trainer Michael Bungay Stanier offers specific coaching strategies, particularly on how to focus on what matters most. The audiobook of The Advice Trap gives you tools to make your conversations, coaching and otherwise, irresistible.

    If you’ve already read The Advice Trap, thank you, and there’s a ton of added value content for you in the audiobook, too. Michael’s invited other voices to respond to what was most useful for them in each of the chapters, so there are different perspectives and less of a monologue of advice.

    You’ll hear from:
    • Pau Gasol, NBA All-Star
    • Dr. Alex Osterwalder, leading management thinker
    • Dr. Kofi Hope, co-founder of Monumental
    • Feyzi Fatehi, CEO of Corent Technology
    • Leanne Hughes, host of the First Time Facilitator podcast
    • Dr. Shannon Minifie, CEO of Box of Crayons
    • Sandy McIntosh, EVP and CHRO of TELUS
    • Tyson Yunkaporta, author of the acclaimed book Sand Talk

    In 2019, Michael Bungay Stanier was named the #1 Thought Leader in Coaching, and was short-listed for the coaching award by Thinkers50, the “Oscars of Management.” His work’s been featured in journals such as HBR, Fast Company, Forbes, and Inc., and his company, Box of Crayons, has trained more than 100,000 people, regular managers, leaders, and individual contributors in the tools and mindset required for this essential leadership behaviour: staying curious and being more coach-like. You’ll get all of that wisdom and experience when you listen to The Advice Trap. (And, by the way, thank you in advance for buying it and listening.)

    Michael Bungay Stanier

    George Orwell said, “An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful.” In that vein, Michael was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident”, was sued by one of his Law School lecturers for defamation, and managed to give himself a concussion while digging a hole as a labourer...Luckily, there’s also been some upside. He is the author of a number of books, and the one he is best known for with 90,000 copies sold is Do More Great Work. However, the one he’s proudest of is End Malaria, a collection of articles about Great Work from thought leaders that’s raised about $400,000 for Malaria No More and reached #2 on Amazon.com.Michael also organized the Great Work MBA, a virtual conference featuring 30 world class speakers and which had more than 10,000 registered participants.All of this is done as founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, a company that helps organizations do less Good Work and more Great Work. Their focus is on helping time-crunched managers coach in 10 minutes or less, and their Fortune 500 clients include TD Bank, Kraft, Gartner and VMWare.Michael is a well-regarded speaker, and as well as speaking to organizations he regularly keynotes at conferences such as HRPA, SHRM, CSTD, the Evanta HR Leadership series and The Conference Board of Canada. He’s known for sessions that are highly engaging, interactive and entertaining. And for his colourful Box of Crayons socks.Before Box of Crayons, Michael spent time inventing products and services as part of an innovation agency, and working as a management consultant on large scale change, where amongst other things he wrote the global vision for GlaxoSmithKline.Michael was a Rhodes Scholar and the first Canadian Coach of the Year.
