Summary

In episode 1163 of the Arete Coach Podcast, titled "Framing Leadership: A Photographer's Lens on Executive Coaching," host Severin Sorensen engages in a profound conversation with David Kinnear. As an experienced executive coach, Vistage Chair, and CEO of DBK Associates, Kinnear brings a unique blend of leadership acumen and creative insight. His three decades in the semiconductor industry with Toshiba and Fairchild Semiconductor have provided a solid foundation for his coaching career.

The episode explores Kinnear's seamless transition from a corporate environment to the realm of executive coaching, emphasizing his commitment to lifelong learning and leadership development. His coaching methodology is enriched by his experiences in engineering, management, and business development, underscoring the synergy between technical knowledge and human skills.

An intriguing aspect of the podcast is the discussion around Kinnear's passion for photography, delving into how this creative pursuit intersects with his coaching practice. The conversation also touches on the role of AI in coaching, active listening, and the importance of detaching from outcomes. Kinnear's quotes reflect his practical wisdom and dedication to empowering leaders, resonating with the theme of creating a better world through effective leadership.

In our conversation we learn David is an avid photographer and we talk about photography and the advent of AI visualization tools he uses, and his thoughts on AI imagery and creativity.

A couple of quotes that jumped out at me in the interview from David were his comments: "If I'm going to claim that I'm a coach, then I better go get some training." Or, "I realized that I can't own the outcome either of coaching or consulting." And, "The universe is indifferent. It's not trying to kill me, and it's not trying to help me. And his mantra of "Creating a better world one leader at a time."

The Arete Coach Podcast seeks to explore the art and science of executive coaching. You can find out more about this podcast at aretecoach.io.
