Host Sam Donaghey and Fast Slow Motion’s Director of People, Michael Smith, sit down with leadership coach Phil Sineath to explore a question many leaders quietly wrestle with: not whether they are capable, but whether they have the margin to navigate what comes next alone.
Phil breaks down what executive coaching is and is not, why the coaching market has become crowded, and how leaders can think clearly about fit. The conversation covers push versus pull coaching, common leadership patterns, and what actually signals a healthy coaching relationship.
This episode is for founders and executives facing a plateau, a step change in responsibility, or rising pressure as the stakes increase.
