53. The Seven Coaching Styles Every Leader Needs - A Conversation with OwlHub's David Morelli and Alexandria Scobee

July 10, 2025 • Connect your people; transform you culture. With Dr. Lola Gershfeld • Season 3 • Episode 53

What if your leadership challenges are hidden in the coaching styles you don’t use? In this engaging and insightful episode, we’re joined by David Morelli and Alexandria Scobee from OwlHub to explore their groundbreaking Respect Coaching Styles framework—a powerful tool that helps leaders and teams unlock human connection, improve communication, and drive performance.

We talk about how the seven coaching styles (Rallyer, Educator, Strategist, Provocateur, Explorer, Confidant, and Transformer) shape our conversations and relationships at work. Learn how understanding these styles can help leaders move from default behaviors to intentional choices that build emotional safety and engagement.

We also dive into:

Why self-awareness isn’t enough without relationship awareness
How behavior change leads to long-lasting culture change
The surprising connection between attachment theory and coaching effectiveness
What it really means to “coach toward” a teammate, not away from them

Whether you're a manager, team member, or coach, this episode offers practical wisdom, humor, and heartfelt connection.
