The best leaders don’t have all the answers—they ask better questions. But in fast-paced workplaces, the pressure to jump in, solve problems, and give advice is real—and it’s sabotaging our best intentions.

In this live author event, best selling leadership thinker Michael Bungay Stanier (author of The Coaching Habit) shares practical tools from his provocative follow-up book The Advice Trap. You’ll learn how to resist the reflex to advise and instead embrace a more transformational way of leading—one grounded in humility, trust, and curiosity.

With humor, candor, and radical simplicity, MBS will help you unlearn advice-giving as your default and replace it with a mindset that unlocks potential in others—and yourself.
