I thought I meant well. Then I watched it land like a test the person didn't study for. Most people don't have a five-year answer. They have a right-now answer, and you have to ask for it.\nIn this episode:\nWhy the question sounds thoughtful and isn't, and what it costs you when the conversation dies\nTwo high school coaches, weekly goals, and the three Ws\nBob Ladouceur at De La Salle: winning games was never spoken of, because what you're building is individuals\nLarry Gelwix and the Highland rugby team: we not me, and what's important now\nThe three questions that open a real career conversation\nMentorship the coach introduces and then leaves alone — no homework, no weekly mandate\nThe stretch goal my manager handed me at Zillow, and why he stayed quiet while I fielded the questions\nProtected time on work hours, said out loud, with the team covering\nMy daughter's first week of high school, and why her present is the whole job\nOne correction: I say \"Coach Lassiter\" on air.
