The Power of Being Present with Stephanie Wachman
Executive coach and author Stephanie Wachman joins Greg Aden to talk about distraction, phone habits, and what leaders miss when they are not present.
Stephanie shares the moment her two year old son ran to his dad instead of her, and how that pushed her to leave a big corporate job, go to coaching school, and build a business around helping people own their time. She and Greg get into the real cost of interruption, roughly 25 minutes lost each time, and the message you send when you check your phone while someone sits across from you. Stephanie offers a practical fix she uses with clients, telling them exactly when they will get their phone back so being present does not create anxiety.
They also cover her volunteer work with the Association for Corporate Growth, a new no cost mentor program called NextStep for young professionals, coaching veterans reentering the corporate world, and teaching time, energy, and stress tools at the University of Colorado Law School. Stephanie closes on culture and change management in an age of AI, and on the family business where she says she earned her MBA growing up.
