In one of our recent debriefs of how things are going with our coaching practices, we realized at least two sessions in the span of one week focused on the theme of it’s not me, it’s you when it comes to our clients dealing with the leadership teams at their organizations.

We’ve all thought someone else was responsible for things going wrong, negative feedback we’ve received, deadlines getting missed, etc. when the real responsibility lay with us. It’s just the nature of being human.

Our Inside Job, is to take a deeper look at why we’re casting the blame on someone else, what our resistance to taking responsibility means, and how we use that information to grow in the future.

Even though we only just met our guest for the first time a few weeks ago, we’ve quickly discovered we have a lot in common and knew we just had to have him join us on the podcast.

Jeff Wetzler has been on a quarter-century quest to transform learning opportunities. Blending a unique set of leadership experiences in the fields of business and education, he’s pursued this quest as a management consultant to the world’s top corporations, as a learning facilitator for leaders around the world, as Chief Learning Officer at Teach For America, and most recently, as co-CEO of Transcend, a nationally recognized innovation organization.

Jeff is also the author of Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs In Leadership and Life.

Jeff is on the show this week to share his book and his philosophy and framework for making all of us better askers so we can tap into the hidden wisdom of the people around us.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “This job would be so much better if it weren’t for the people?”

When one of Eric’s clients jokingly said this in a recent discussion, they shared a laugh about it. However, Eric later realized it’s not only something he hears often from his clients, but something he’s also said himself in the past.

We thought it would be a good idea to dig deeper into this sentiment on the podcast, but we want to look at it from the perspective of having customers or clients. Businesses need them to be successful, but so many of us wish we could do business without them and the negative things they bring to our workday.

Since we can’t all pull a Henry David Thoreau and live alone in a cabin for years at a time, let’s explore how we can protect ourselves from the naysayers.
