Asking others what they think of you, and how they can help you, is not the only way to learn. Try asking them questions about themselves: What do they think about the business problem you’re facing together? Have they seen a similar problem in the past, and what mistakes have they seen people make in this situation? What gave them the insight to respond to the media the way they did this morning? People enjoy talking about their own thoughts and experiences. By tapping into their wisdom, you can learn as much as you might by asking for explicit coaching.
