Summary

This is Arete Coach Podcast Episode 1147, with host Severin Sorensen bringing you an exciting episode with guest Dwight Frindt titled: "Agendaless Coaching: Truly Hearing and Being Heard." Dwight Frindt is an Executive Coach, Consultant, Advisor, Vistage Best Practice and Master Chair, Co-Founder of 2130 Partners, and Author.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast with your host, Severin Sorensen. This platform dives deep into the world of executive coaching, exploring both the art and the science behind it. In today's episode, we're privileged to have Dwight Frindt, an accomplished executive coach, as our guest.

Dwight's journey in the coaching sphere is truly commendable. With experiences like Vistage under his belt since 1994, co-founding the leadership development firm 2130 Partners, and authoring "Accelerate: High Leverage Leadership for Today's World" with his wife, Suzanne Frindt, Dwight's expertise is vast and deep-rooted.

One of the most profound aspects Dwight touches upon is the art of listening. He believes that in today's fast-paced world, the simple act of truly listening to someone can be transformative. Vistage, as he points out, has integrated this approach into their core, allowing members to not just feel heard but to truly understand themselves better through the reflections of others. An impactful interaction that Dwight recalls is with a Vistage member who, when asked why his member wanted to be a part of Vistage, he said, "When I'm listened to, I can hear myself."

Dwight also introduces us to the concept of "agendaless coaching." This method, as Dwight explains, is about approaching a coaching session without any pre-set objectives or biases. By doing so, the coach creates a space where the coachee can freely express and, in the process, have moments of self-realization. Often, coachees find themselves voicing thoughts they've had for years but never truly understood or grasped until that moment.

With an MBA from Harvard Business School and 15,000 hours of paid executive leadership coaching experience and a genuine passion for instigating positive change, Dwight's insights in this episode are nothing short of invaluable. Whether you're an executive looking to hone your leadership skills or someone keen on understanding the intricacies of effective coaching, this episode is a treasure trove of knowledge.

Join us on this enlightening journey and prepare to be inspired!
