E25: Trey in the Hot Seat - What Would a Leadership Coach Do?

What would a leadership coach say if he did not have time to prepare the perfect answer?

In this episode, Allie puts Trey in the hot seat with realistic workplace and leadership scenarios. They examine what to do when you are eager for a promotion, believe you could outperform the person in charge, feel overlooked despite doing good work, or find yourself carrying more than your share of the load.

Trey breaks down how he would coach each person, including the questions he would ask before offering advice. The conversation explores the difference between wanting a title and demonstrating leadership, why ambition can sometimes undermine credibility, and how mentoring, measurable results, and honest feedback can help someone prove they are ready for more responsibility.

This episode is for aspiring leaders, recently promoted supervisors, and anyone trying to navigate workplace frustration without damaging their reputation or relationships.

In this episode:

● How to communicate that you want to advance

● Why announcing your ambition can sometimes backfire

● Ways to demonstrate leadership before receiving the title

● How mentoring others builds leadership credibility

● What to do when you believe you are outperforming your manager

● How to handle resentment toward less productive coworkers

● Why good coaching starts with questions, not assumptions

Listen and decide whether Trey’s advice would survive your own leadership hot seat.
