Jeff’s Coaching Highlights – The Google Way (and Beyond)

  • Called out as a standout coach—with zero formal training.
  • Jeff doesn’t take space, he invites it—every time.
  • Life at Google didn’t happen to him—it happened for him.
  • The underestimated power of just sitting in silence and holding space.
  • A proud, recovering "Teller"—learning to ask, not just inform.
  • Memorable feedback: "Jeff is often the first and last to speak in a meeting."
  • Reminder: Coaching only works when people are ready—no pushing needed.
  • Find your niche—because when you try to serve everyone, you serve no one. 
  • Pattern spotting = turning up the heat in the right moments.
  • Pioneering coaching culture at Google by leading from the front.
