In this episode of Coaching Revealed, hosts Austin Matzelle, and Emily Terrani are joined by Jeffrey Yip, researcher and associate professor of management studies at Simon Fraser University. The episode focuses on Simon’s research into the subject of listening in leadership and coaching. 
So how do we know if we are properly listening? Through his academic and professional career, Jeffrey has explored psychology, leadership, and management as he has explored what contributes to effective or ineffective listening. Drawing from his extensive research on the transformative power of listening on working relationships and leadership, Jeffrey introduces his Listen and Build framework as a practical way for individuals to continually hone their listening skills. 
In addition to the framework, Jeffrey introduces the simple concept of “pain storming” which helps leaders and coaches to move towards creating collaborative solutions even when encountering difficult situations. 
In this episode, Austin, Emily, and Jeffrey cover:
Why leaders consistently overestimate their listening ability and how this impacts coaching effectiveness
The concept of naive realism and how it prevents us from truly hearing different perspectives
The three key capacities for effective listening: suspending judgment, taking perspective, and empathy
The Listen and Build framework for transforming organizational challenges through structured listening

In this episode of Coaching Revealed, hosts Austin Matzelle and Emily Terrani are joined by Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, researcher at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of The Creativity Choice. Together, they explore creativity as a psychological and emotional process—one that unfolds over time and is deeply shaped by mood, environment, and relationships.
Dr. Pringle shares insights from decades of interdisciplinary creativity research, challenging common myths that creativity is reserved for artists or requires complete freedom. Instead, she reframes creativity as something both original and effective, accessible to everyone, and profoundly influenced by emotional awareness, constraints, and social context.
Throughout the conversation, the hosts and Dr. Pringle examine how thinking and feeling are inseparable in creative work, how different emotional states serve different creative functions, and what coaches and leaders can do to cultivate environments where creativity can reliably emerge.
