Muriel has been showing up so consistently for years to help leaders take the next step. What a gift to get to hear coaching in real-time as leaders take next steps to learn and grow. Thank you to Muriel and all the guest leaders for your generosity in sharing these conversations with us.

This is an exceptional podcast. So much to learn and be able to apply to multiple life and business situations. If you’re looking to grow and become a better leader this is a must listen podcast.

Coaching changed my career and life, so I decided to invest in the field and earned my ACC a few years ago. I have such respect for the ICF credential and haven’t found many strong coaching models until Muriel. She has such an authentic coaching style that immediately creates trust. I have learned so much from listening to her…my only complaint is that I would love to hear her content more often. Keep up the amazing work!

Coaching Real Leaders has become a routine reference for me. Dealing with an issue at work? Don’t feel like I have the right tools? I’m going to see if Muriel has compiled a case-study on this topic! Or…have a little bandwidth to work on my professional development but don’t have a high priority area to focus on? Just reading the episode titles and summaries, I’m bound to find relevant cases that will foster my professional growth! If you love discussion-format, case-based learning…this is the right leadership development podcast for you!

This is a very insightful podcast on leadership- Muriel Wilkins demonstrates the art of coaching and skillfully balance powerful questioning - deep listening and sharing her extended knowledge of all things leadership with confidence and empathy- It is a great podcast to pause - reflect- take a step back and open up your own perspective !

This podcast has been helpful in my daily life, from working through my own challenges at work to helping others. Even topics that seem not relevant to me end up having connections to areas I am trying to improve.

I have all data on my phones if anyone want come talk to me and take your stuffs

Listened several times. This is not about coaching leaders this is about psychologically helping someone grappling with leadership at ground level. Real Leaders is a misnomer.

Muriel does an excellent job of asking probing questions of her guests and, as a result, her audience, about their careers, how they want to show up at work, and how to address roadblocks. I get something out of every episode.

I’m really enjoying this series and admire Muriel’s clarity, constructive spirit, and engaging coaching approach. As a coach myself, I appreciate Muriel so much!

Every episode has been useful and entertaining. I’ve revisited many over the past few years

Coaching is a skill. An art. And when it’s working, it feels effortless. These conversations with real leaders are fascinating because Muriel keeps them grounded. The original premise of every episode is important, but Muriel gets to the more interesting root of it each time by asking straightforward questions, challenging guests gently but firmly, and offering wisdom that is accessible to everyone. Seriously love that these episodes can be valuable both for all Leaders and for aspiring Coaches. Keep up the great work!

Brilliant podcast, incredibly helpful!

This show is a lesson in deep listening, asking great questions, and questioning our assumptions. I love getting to “eavesdrop” on what is usually a closed-door dynamic (reminds me of Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel in that way) and getting to hear the client’s transformation in real time. Muriel is a real one.

I get something from every episode. This is a podcast that provides a lot of value!

I learn actionable each time I listen.

I’ve enjoyed so many episodes because they are so relevant to my work experience. Muriel’s approach is supportive and challenging. In each episode, she guides the guest in a way that I can take into my own life. Keep the episodes coming!!!

Muriel is a brilliant, empathetic and insightful coach. I love this podcast so much that I have saved pretty much every episode. It’s not just useful as a leader in need for help and guidance (I learn a lot from the coaching sessions) but her ability to discover and guide the leaders helps me a lot in becoming a better coach for my team. These two learning tracks make it a podcast that is truly gold! Thank your Muriel for this amazing service.

Love listening to CRL during my commute to work. Muriel is a fabulous coach and interviewer who puts me in the right mindset to be open minded and approach my work with a leadership mindset. Love the broad diversity of industries and career stages in the guests. I learn something fresh and often unexpected every episode. Working on my Muriel styles “Mmmkay” to use with my team when we hit on a gem.

This podcast is golden. I’m learning so much. Thank you thank you Thank you!!

Several weeks ago, I started listening to Miruel's podcast. I have to admit it wasn't love at first sight, but as I listened more, I started to connect with her content. I've listened to more than half of the episodes she offers, and I find them invaluable and eye-opening, not only for the leaders who join the show but also for us listeners. I love it, and I'm sure once I complete all the episodes, I'll go back and listen to them again. I can’t thank enough for this amazing work.

I have listened to many podcast over the years but this is the first one to actually provide a good insight on how the coaching process work. I could see myself talking to the host and reflecting a long the episodes. Great content and keep it going!

Listening to Muriel talk though professional challenges in real time with her clients is like watching an expert aerialist perform a high-wire act with someone who just walked in off the street. It takes extraordinary skill and pose as well as breathtaking courage from both participants. Both coach and clients navigate between presenting a professional identity and displaying the vulnerability needed to have a real conversation about desires, hopes, and fears. The result is riveting.

Sometimes this podcast feels like going to church. Thank you so much for the amazing content. I always walk away learning something new about myself and how I can show up better, for myself, at work and in life.

Great coaching and I love her ability to connect and jointly problem solve. She’s one of the best for sure. I have personally learned from each episode how to best navigate career development

I often feel bogged down in the day-to-day work of being a mid level professional. This podcast helps me bring my head up and be strategic in my observations and in my actions. Nearly every episode is helpful to me — even the ones that I don’t connect with at the beginning. By the end, I see how the content relates to me or to someone in my network. Hearing Muriel walk people through such a thoughtful evaluation — of self and of their environment — is truly something special. Thank you!

I started listening to this podcast because one specific episode stood out to me as very relevant to a problem I was having at work. I’ve since listened to multiple seasons and the content regularly inspires me to up-level my game at work. Often, the coaching session takes turns that aren’t evident in the title, so I found that even episodes where the title didn’t immediately resonate with me, there are great coaching nuggets that apply to my experiences. The more you listen, the more you’ll see patterns in Muriel’s coaching that you can apply broadly or with your own reports. Muriel has an amazing way of asking questions that help you discover the answer within yourself, but she also provides frameworks that help you think through it, and she’s great with analogies and metaphors that bring so much clarity to the process.

This podcast has given me helpful insight into my own career, goals, and aspirations. Muriel Wilkins is an incredibly effective career coach in every episode and I am able to reflect on my own life and career after every session. The stories are relatable, interesting, and inspiring. I look forward to every episode. 5 stars all around.

Each episode is so incredibly on point and has takeaways and insights for every aspect of work life. A wonderful podcast. Muriel is an incredible coach who’s approach empowers others to successfully tap into their untapped resources in service of their aspirations

She is so intuitive and insightful. She not only helps leaders navigate through complex leadership challenges, she’s inspired many coaches to reflect on what we can take away from every podcast and put into practice to become even better coaches to our clients.

This podcast will accelerate a leader’s growth and help with navigating the tough issues

As an executive coach myself, I am always impressed with Muriel’s practical approach. Her work is obviously abbreviated on the pod, but her impact is not. If you are new coaching or just curious to be a fly on the wall, this is great pod to subscribe to.

Every time I listen to a Coaching Real Leaders episode, I think about the different decisions I would have made or approaches I would have taken had I had Muriel in my ear with this podcast earlier in my career. The CRL team has their finger on the pulse of what's keeping leaders up at night, delivering important topics with incredible insights and candor while helping coachees increase their awareness and create a plan for addressing their challenges. And for coaches, Muriel provides a masterclass in coaching every single episode. A must-add to your podcast list!

This is a great podcast. You get to hear real-life leadership struggles first hand. Muriel is clearly an expert coach, guiding and illuminating with a deft touch. Her approach and observations are super insightful.

I love sharing these with people who are dealing with similar situations. It gives them an opportunity to hear what coaching is, while helping them hear how someone else in a similar situation worked through their situation. It also helps people to see they are not alone in what they are dealing with. This is sincerely one of my favorite podcasts.

Muriel Maignan Wilkins has hit upon something all of us human beings can use, how to navigate ourselves in the face of situations we can’t always influence or control. Bravo, and thank you for your generosity.

I’ve listened to this a few times with colleagues for our monthly professional development sessions. Muriel is simply amazing at what she does and I find so much value in tagging along for her coaching sessions with leaders.

The best podcast for everyday leadership challenges from a real life coach. Muriel effectively shares her vast library of coaching advice with empathy and passion across a wide range of actual situations. I can’t wait for the next season.

She provides opportunities to reflect on important topics we likely we all deal with as a leader.

Thank you all (Wilkins and Team) for what you offer! I am a small business owner and every time I listen to your podcast I get rays of light shined on places in me and my business. I so appreciate this! And I especially value the way you coach — allowing for my own exploration with a set of reasonable, kind, and rigorous guardrails!

Great podcast. Love every episode

The episode on Navigating a New Senior Role felt like I was the guest. It really helped me quickly get to the root of my hesitation, uncertainty and discomfort. Thank you!

Muriel does an amazing job of keeping the focus on the growth of the individual leader rather than trying to solve their external challenge. I am always learning from both sides of the conversation!

I listen to a lot of great podcasts about leadership and managing - this is my favorite!! The format of the show is ingenious because, by listening to Muriel talk guests through their challenges, you learn about both the coaching practice itself and how to deal with common leadership challenges. As a senior manager, I can relate to struggles in almost every episode. It’s like I’m getting my own personal coach for free! Muriel is such a talented coach and teaches me something new every time.

When I listened to the episode on disillusionment with the executive team, “Killing me softly with his song” popped into my head because the episode was so apropos to my situation! So many of these episodes are- highly recommend!

A friend recommended Muriel’s podcast a year ago just as I began to lead a larger team and moved into a new and expanded role. Hearing Muriel coach other leaders through their challenges helped me so much during those early months. Each conversation was like reading an entire book on leadership and management. I’ve learned something relevant that I can implement with every episode.

I am a relatively new manager, working in a sometimes challenging leadership environment. I learn something new every episode that helps me be a better leader in my workplace, whether it’s interpersonal skills, setting personal boundaries, clarifying my goals, or thinking about my future career steps. I’m so grateful for Muriel and the generosity of her guests to share their stories!

I run a small company. Like most entrepreneurs, I run into new challenges almost daily. I wasn’t sure a podcast from HBR would be relevant for to me, given the small size of my business. But the situation posed by the leader in an educational institution struggling to understand how to prioritize a longterm goal is almost exactly what I’m struggling with. Muriel’s questions were incredibly insightful, and I found her candor both refreshingly direct and still compassionate. I’ve listened to a lot of business podcasts, and this is one of the best.

I wanted to live this but it’s slow, the insights are pretty basic, and Muriel’s voice timbre is tough to listen to. I keep trying every episode but can’t finish them.
