Unlock Your Leadership, with Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD

30 Becoming Coachable: Jacquelyn Lane and Scott Osman on the Secret to Transformational Leadership

Episode Summary

In this episode of Unlock Your Leadership, Dr Gary Crotaz sits down with Jacquelyn Lane and Scott Osman, co-authors of Becoming Coachable (with Marshall Goldsmith) and co-founders of 100 Coaches Agency, to explore one of the most powerful and underrated leadership skills: coachability. Together, they unpack what it really means to be coachable — to move beyond defensiveness, ego and certainty, and open yourself to learning, feedback, and change. Drawing on years of experience working with some of the world’s top CEOs and coaches, Jacquelyn and Scott share practical tools and inspiring stories about how coachability transforms not just performance, but identity. Gary, Scott and Jacquelyn discuss why great leaders are lifelong learners — and how vulnerability, curiosity, and reflection unlock exponential growth. It’s an energising and deeply human conversation about how to stay open, adaptable, and teachable — no matter how successful you already are. Originally recorded for The Unlock Moment podcast.
