Hi there, it’s Michael, the author. You might know My previous book, The coaching habit. It was an unexpected bestseller: more than 700, 000 copies sold so far, 1, 000+ 5-star reviews on Amazon (My Favourite: “I have plodded through many books that wish they could be this book”), a wall Street Journal bestseller, and used by people and organizations around the world. So I’ve been sweating on the follow-up. The pressure! The anticipation! But here it is, and I think you’re going to like it. If the coaching habit says, “here are the seven essential questions to be more coach-like,” The advice trap is about getting to grips with how to actually change your behaviour so you stay curious a little bit longer. It sounds like it should be easy, but it’s not. You have to tame your advice monster, that part of you that jumps in to offer up ideas, opinions, suggestions and advice. And it’s Taming your advice monster that’s at the heart of this book. But there are also some specific coaching strategies, particularly on how to focus on what matters most. There are tools to make your conversations, coaching and otherwise, irresistible. There are even resources beyond the book itself, including a one-year, free leadership program from a person faculty of cool, diverse, and provocative thinkers. In 2019, I was named the #1 thought leader in coaching, and was short-listed for the coaching Award by Thinkers50, the “Oscars of management.” My work’s been featured in journals such as HBR, fast company, Forbes, and inc., and My company, box of crayons, has trained more than 100, 000 people just like you in the tools and mind-set required for this essential leadership behaviour: being more coach-like. You’ll get all of that wisdom and experience when you read the advice trap. I’m pretty sure you’ll find it a great investment of your money and time. (And, by the way, thank you in advance for buying it. I’m thrilled to know the book is going out into the world.).

About Author
“My name is Michael. I can hop. Do you want to see me hop?” That’s how I introduced myself to strangers at the supermarket when I was three. Not much has changed. Here’s the formal bio (best bits at the end).
Michael Bungay Stanier is at the forefront of shaping how organizations see coaching as an essential leadership competency. His book The Coaching Habit is the best-selling coaching book of this century, with over a million copies sold. In 2019, he was named the #1 thought leader in coaching, and he has spoken on coaching from Brené Brown's podcast to the TEDx stage.
Michael founded Box of Crayons, a learning and development company that helps organizations transform from advice-driven to curiosity-led. He currently leads MBS.works, a place where people find the clarity, confidence and community to be a force for change.
En route to today—and these are essential parts of his origin story—Michael knocked himself unconscious as a labourer by hitting himself in the head with a shovel; mastered stagecraft at law school by appearing in a skit called Synchronized Nude Male Modelling; and wrote (and was paid for) a Harlequin Romance-esque story involving a misdelivered letter … and called The Male Delivery. He was a Rhodes Scholar.
