Sneaky Coaching: Management Distinctions That Change Everything (Audiobook + Companion PDF)
“Phil, you're brilliant at fixing problems after you create them with your mouth.”
— The brutally honest coach who changed everything for me.
If you’ve ever thought:
🌀 “Why do I feel like I’m managing chaos instead of people?”
💥 “Why does every ‘urgent’ thing wreck my day?”
🤐 “Why won’t my team just tell me the truth?”
…this is the audiobook for you.
In Sneaky Coaching, I (Phil Roberts — Audible author of The Imposter Syndrome) share the real, messy, slightly ridiculous moments where new managers get it painfully wrong — and the tiny distinctions that flip everything.
You’ll hear true coaching stories (names slightly tweaked to protect the professionally embarrassed), coaching questions that quietly disarm even the most difficult team dynamics, and yes — lessons from Walter the cat 🐾.
🎧 You’ll Get:
- A 90-minute audiobook (mp3) narrated in my own storytelling style
- The full illustrated PDF companion guide
- Sneaky Coaching Questions you can swipe and use immediately
- Practical tools that shift management from “exhausting” to “effective”
💡 You’ll Learn:
✔️ How to stop reacting and start responding
✔️ Why open-door policies often shut people down
✔️ The dangerous difference between being “right” vs. being heard
✔️ How to build trust without burning out
✔️ What every smart cat and smarter manager knows about timing
🧠 Perfect for:
- First-time managers who want to lead without being bossy
- Burnt-out team leads chasing “urgency”
- Anyone who wants to coach rather than control
- People who hate boring leadership books (this one swears gently and makes jokes)
🎁 BONUS:
You’ll also walk away with plenty of sneaky coaching questions that quietly provoke reflection, accountability, and (yes) uncomfortable-but-useful truth bombs in team conversations.
💸 Price:
I'm pricing this at $7.99 this Summer because it’s short, practical, and instantly usable — like a pocket-sized leadership intervention (minus the HR meeting).
Fair? Definitely.
Forgettable? Not a chance.
And yes I testing this as a product so when you buy now you'll get future updates. Honesty eh?
