Just imagine: you’re being interviewed for a podcast about provocative coaching. We thought, “Sounds great! Just a fun chat about provocative coaching.” Until we heard… it’s being filmed. And that it’ll be available for everyone to see. “Uh… wait, everyone will actually see this?”. Yep. Mild panic! But it all turned out just fine. The cameras started rolling, the mics were on, and the first questions about what provocative coaching actually is came flying at us. The interviewer was well-prepared — but sometimes our answers made him hesitate. You could see the confusion on his face… and then, when the penny dropped, he burst out laughing. Priceless! That’s exactly the effect of provocative coaching. With humor, warmth, and challenge, we give you a nudge — or a good kick in the butt. We hold up a mirror that’s confronting, but mostly: it wakes you up. We were cracking up too at the interviewer’s spontaneous reactions and outspoken thoughts. “Wait — can you say that in a podcast?”. Oh yes, you can. We shared real examples of provocative interventions that actually get people moving. Like the time we encouraged someone to fully embrace their talent for insecurity — by obsessing even more over their self-doubt and convincing themselves even harder that they weren’t good enough. That kind of talent? Totally unique! The result? Transformation — with a big wink.
And there’s more to come: we’re launching a full podcast series on provocative coaching! We’re excited to challenge, inspire, and above all show that provocative coaching can be powerful and fun — without being dry or heavy. And of course, we’ll also be promoting our training next year. So if you find yourself thinking, “I want to learn how to do this!” — you’ve come to the right place. So, are you ready for a dose of humor, sharpness, and unexpected insights? Keep an eye on our podcast. And don’t worry — we’re a bit nervous too. But hey, that just makes it even better. 🎧 Listen to our provocative podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@DeProvocatievePodcast
