Leveraging Thought Leadership With Peter Winick – Episode 202 – Oleg Konovalov

Coaching can help business leaders find new success – if they can look into the mirror, correctly evaluate their strengths and challenges, and commit to making postive changes. If a leader isn’t willing to change, coaching is a waste of time! So, how does a great coach get business leaders to really put their all into becoming the best they can be?

In this episode, our guest is Oleg Konovalov. Oleg is on the Thinkers50 Radar, and has been recognized as the #1 Global Thought Leader on Culture by Thinkers 360. He’s also been named the #1 Global Leading Coach by Marshall Goldsmith Thinkers50. He is also the author of Leaderology, and we’re thrilled to have him on our podcast to share some of his experiences!

Oleg talks with us about the differences in coaching in Russia versus other places in the world. He shares how he helps people cope with major changes in business – both globally and locally – and how he teaches them to close the gap and catch up. Plus, he shares his opinions on the one word a coach needs to watch out for, and how it signals that a client isn’t ready to commit to change.

Failure happens to everyone. Oleg discusses ways to find success even in failures, and TLL has additional thoughts on how to Failing Forward, even when things look their worst.
