Top 10 Best Coaching Culture Podcasts
The show
Leadership conversations that do not stop at the comfortable part.
Hosted by Christie Mann, The UpLevel Podcast takes on the subjects most leadership shows route around: emotional embodiment, grief, the real mechanics of a coaching relationship, and whether investing in human wellbeing actually pays.
What distinguishes it is a willingness to be in the conversation rather than above it. The host has been coached on air, in real time, on her own transitions — which is a materially different proposition from interviewing other people about theirs.
Recurring themes include presence as a developable leadership capacity, the cost of accumulated cognitive and emotional load on decision quality, psychological safety as a predictor of team performance, and what changes when a senior leader stops performing certainty they do not have.
Feedspot ranked the show #4 Best Workplace Mental Health Podcast and named it one of the Top 10 Best Coaching Culture Podcasts, from an evaluation of thousands of podcasts on relevancy, authority, social media following and freshness.
