Raising the Bar


Coach's Corner​
Sometimes, a single line in the book needs more explaining.
The story has to keep moving. Conversations are tight. Decisions happen quickly, because that’s how they happen in real life. But behind many of those moments sits a deeper explanation, a broader principle, or a practical nuance that would slow the story if it were unpacked in full.
Coach’s Corner is where that unpacking happens.
Here, key moments from the book are explored in more detail. Models are explained properly. Judgement calls are broken down. You’ll see why certain decisions were taken, what alternatives existed, and what often goes wrong when managers try to handle similar situations without structure or support.
You don’t need to read Coach’s Corner in order.
You don’t even need to read it at all to follow the story.
Think of it as the margin notes you wish you’d had when you were first managing people.
Coach’s Corner can be used alongside the book, alongside the online programme, or entirely on its own. If you’re facing a situation at work and want clarity rather than theory, this is where you come.
Everything here is written to explain what sits underneath the story, without softening the reality or overcomplicating the message.
If the book shows you what happens, Coach’s Corner helps you understand why.
Use it when you need it.
