How to Work with (Almost) Anyone with Michael Bungay Stanier

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.  Today I have the privilege of welcoming Michael Bungay Stanier, otherwise known as MBS, to the show. Despite being virtual friends for a long time, we only recently had the chance to meet in person at the Thinkers50 event, where Michael won a coaching award.  If you've never met, I'm so delighted to introduce you to Michael. He's best known for his book The Coaching Habit, which is the bestselling book on coaching this century and is considered a classic by none other than Seth Godin. His most recent book is How to Work with (Almost) Anyone. He founded Box of Crayons, a learning and development company that has trained hundreds of thousands of managers to be more coach-like in organizations, from Microsoft to Gucci. His TEDx Talk has been viewed by more than a million people.  THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone who wants to approach professional relationships more actively and intentionally. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… sometimes work relationships have great chemistry - you get along with your manager or team and are excited about working together. Although it's an ideal situation, that's rarely the case. In this episode, Michael shares his strategies for building the best possible relationships with the people you work with.  WHAT I LOVE MOST… taking a step back to learn about how we and the people around us work so that together we can amplify the best of who we are and avoid the worst of who we are.
