Coaching isn’t about correcting—it’s about creating conversations that actually lead to change. In this episode, Junior and Tim introduce the BIG Coaching Model—Behavior, Impact, and Guidance—a practical framework for leaders who want to move beyond surface-level feedback and build true accountability. They explore how to spark self-awareness, connect actions to outcomes, and guide without overreaching. This is the coaching blueprint for leaders who want to stop micromanaging and start empowering, one conversation at a time.

In this episode, we explore why accountability breaks down—and how great leaders rebuild it with empathy and precision.

Blame. Denial. Excuse. These aren’t just bad habits—they’re survival tactics rooted in fear. Junior and Tim unpack the three psychological fears behind patterns of deflection and show you how to coach through them to create high-performing, accountable teams.

This one’s for leaders who want to stop the spin and start the truth.
