The real skill isn't having answers—it's asking better questions.

That's why I a year ago I decided to start a 10-month long Executive Coaching certification at IMD.

After so many years of inofficial coaching and mentoring, I decided to do the learning part.

And you bet, you'll get it in a transformative way at IMD.

I didn't do it because I thought I needed fixing. But because the leaders I work with deserve someone who's constantly sharpening their skills.

In my 20 years moving from energy trading to EY Partner, I've noticed something: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲.

They were the ones where someone asked me the right question at exactly the right moment.

↳ "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?"
↳ "What are you not saying out loud in this story?
↳ "What's the real cost of staying where you are?"

Those questions unlocked breakthroughs that years of instruction never could.

I wanted to master that skill for others.

The program was intense - 10 months of learning how to guide leaders through their biggest transitions. And yes, I was fitting it around my EY work and The Change Republic.

But here's the thing: growth isn't convenient. It's necessary.

What's a great question someone asked you?
