He is the author or coauthor of 10 books, including the international bestseller Primal Leadership, Helping People Change, and The Science of Change.In this episode, Steve and Richard discuss:The origins of coaching and how it predates modern certification bodiesEmotional and social intelligence as predictors of leadership effectivenessWhy early goal-setting can activate stress and limit creativityThe neuroscience behind coaching, vision, and sustained behavior changeHow relationships, resonance, and compassion drive engagement and innovationKey Takeaways: Coaching is not a modern invention. Its practice is grounded in decades of scientific research and historical application, long before formal credentialing systems existed.When predicting effectiveness, emotional and social intelligence matter more than technical expertise. Across roles and industries, these competencies consistently emerge as stronger indicators of performance.Vision and purpose play a critical neurological role in change. By activating neural networks associated with openness and creativity, they support deeper learning and sustained transformation.No model can compensate for a weak relationship. The quality of the connection between coach and client is just as influential as any framework or methodology used.The real ROI of coaching goes beyond solving immediate problems. It can be measured through increased engagement, creativity, and long-term impact on how people approach their work and lives.“If you spend time in a coaching conversation, and if you make the context of the coaching conversation not solving a problem, not setting a specific goal, but if you make the context helping the person articulate and move closer to their dream, their vision, their sense of purpose, that you actually help them to repeatedly activate the neural networks that make us open and allow us to continue to be open to people.” - Richard BoyatzisConnect with Richard Boyatzis:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-boyatzis-401822a/ Connect with Steve:LinkedIn: SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.comShow notes by: Angelo Paul TagamaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
