Coachability is one of the most powerful career advantages you can build — and it has nothing to do with how long you’ve been working.

In this episode of The Workplace Podcast, we break down what coachability really means, why leaders value it so highly, and how it influences your growth, your opportunities, and your reputation at work.

You’ll learn the behaviors that signal openness, the patterns leaders look for behind the scenes, and the subtle habits that quietly damage credibility. We’ll also walk through a simple framework for taking feedback professionally, recovering from missteps with confidence, and showing people you’re someone worth investing in.

If you want to grow faster, build trust quickly, and stand out in any workplace — this episode is your roadmap.

In this episode, we cover:
• What coachability actually looks like
• How leaders assess whether someone is coachable
• Closed-to-coaching behaviors that hold people back
• How to take feedback without spiraling or getting defensive
• Micro-behaviors that signal maturity, openness, and readiness
• How coachability builds trust in new roles and new environments
• A 4-part Coachability Challenge you can start this week

Coachability isn’t about perfection — it’s about openness, awareness, and your willingness to evolve.
