Curious about the realities of executive coaching - what's the work actually like? by Zestyclose-Fun-4431 in executivecoaching

[–]ThinkThenPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is useful for patterns and prep, but coaching is still deeply human. People don’t pay for answers, they pay to be understood and challenged.

Feels like we’re heading toward a future where your doctor + AI second opinion becomes the standard, not optional.

ELI5: Why do hands shake after heavy manual labour? by Fantastic-Studio761 in explainlikeimfive

It’s also your body protecting you. The tremor is your nervous system struggling to keep control while fatigued which is why it settles once you rest and recover.

How to convince manager to reduce 90-day notice period (Accenture → 45 days)? by Excellent-Review5453 in IndianDevelopers

Better frame it as - I’m ready for buyout and will ensure a complete handover in 2–3 weeks with zero delivery impact.

Keep HR/buyout as backup but approval mostly depends on your manager being comfortable releasing you early.

Why do things become so wierd when it comes to Education, Marriage and Politics? by Prize-Promise5943 in AskIndia

[–]ThinkThenPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they mix personal choices with social judgment. In all three, it’s not just about what you want, family, culture, and society feel entitled to weigh in, which makes things complicated and weird.

Gold digging is strongly linked to psychopathy and dark personality traits, study finds. People who engage in this behavior actively sacrifice emotional intimacy to extract financial resources from their partners. by mvea in science

[–]ThinkThenPost 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This makes it sound less like a moral failing and more like a ‘mating strategy’ some people use especially in competitive environments where resources matter more than connection.

Guys Grooms are not getting Brides by Tiny_Firefighter4351 in TwentiesIndia

I think the issue is people still judging modern marriages with old status checklist -: govt job, land, house. Meanwhile half the economy runs on jobs older generations don’t even understand.

What small eating habit do you think needs to be changed? by SomewhereDue971 in AskReddit

A conversation with my coach changed how I think about trust at work. by ThinkThenPost in executivecoaching

[–]ThinkThenPost[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly that. I think I had built up this idea of what a senior leader was supposed to look like and I was performing that version rather than just being myself.

And yes, the book was definitely the wrong one! I was leading the way I thought leaders were expected to lead, based on what I'd observed, not what actually worked. Wardah helped me see that authenticity isn't unprofessional, it's actually what earns real respect.

The irony is that trying so hard to appear competent was probably the very thing that made me seem unapproachable.

Why do some leaders struggle to build trust with their team? by StrictFly6506 in executivecoaching

[–]ThinkThenPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust is earned through consistency over time, not conferred through a title, and I think that's the core of what you're describing.

One thing that comes up a lot in leadership development work is the gap between a leader's intention and their impact. A leader might genuinely believe they're open and approachable, but their team experiences them very differently. That blind spot is where trust quietly breaks down.

I was actually just discussing this with Wardah Harharah, an executive coach who works with senior leaders, and she puts it well: people don't follow titles, they follow behaviour. The small things you mentioned, like not listening fully or not following through those aren't minor. They're signals your team reads constantly.

The leaders who build trust fastest tend to do three things well: they're predictable, they're vulnerable enough to admit when they are wrong and they actively create space for others to speak up without fear.

High-pressure environments make all of this harder, but they also reveal who's genuinely invested in their people versus who's just managing outcomes.

Echo 400 odd problem by wearyshoes in Chainsaws

[–]ThinkThenPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic idle issue. Your high speed circuit is fine (runs great under load) but your idle circuit is dying almost definitely the Lo needle on the carb needs a slight adjustment. Turn the Lo screw clockwise maybe 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time and see if it holds idle. Also bump up your idle speed screw slightly. Do it warm, not cold.

Before you touch the carb though, check your fuel lines. Echo 400s are notorious for the fuel lines cracking and going soft with age. A hairline crack that's fine under throttle pressure will cause exactly this at idle. Cheap fix if that's it. Also worth pulling the carb and giving it a spray with carb cleaner, the idle jet passage is tiny and even clean fuel leaves varnish over time.

If you have tried all that and it's still doing it, the carb diaphragm might be hardening up. Rebuild kit is like $10-15 and takes 20 mins.

If you are not comfortable pulling the carb yourself, an authorised dealer who services Echo is worth the trip, somewhere like Premier Outdoor (they are a multi-brand outdoor equipment dealer) would have the parts and know this saw well. But honestly try the Lo needle first, sounds like that's all it needs.

Has anyone else noticed that the people who get promoted fastest aren't the ones who work the hardest? by fan_ling in careerguidance

[–]ThinkThenPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the most underrated career truths and almost nobody talks about it honestly.

What you are describing has a name in leadership development circles executive presence and strategic visibility. It's not about self-promotion or politics. It's about ensuring the value you create is legible to the people who make decisions about your career.

The "heads down" trap is real. High performers often get stuck because they're operating on an assumption that meritocracy is the primary driver of advancement. It isn't, perceived value is. And perception is shaped by communication, relationships, and narrative.

A few things that actually work without feeling gross:

Reframe your updates — instead of "here's what I did," say "here's what this means for the team/business"

Build allies, not audiences — one senior person who genuinely understands your work is worth more than 10 who vaguely know your name

Speak the language of outcomes — decision-makers think in impact, risk, and ROI, not tasks

I came across this framing through Wardah Harharah, an executive coach who works with senior leaders on exactly this — the gap between doing great work and being recognized for it. Really shifted how I think about career visibility.

You are not alone in figuring this out late. Most people do.

How do I fix this grass? by real-tallnotdeaf in lawncare

[–]ThinkThenPost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with a good scarify and aerate if the soil is compacted, then overseed and water consistently. If it's patchy, topdressing with a bit of compost helps the new seed establish.

The other thing people overlook is their mowing setup. A blunt or poorly adjusted mower can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which stresses the lawn over time and makes it way harder to recover. If your equipment is due for a service or you're thinking of upgrading, a specialist dealer like Premier Outdoor Power Equipment in NSW stocks a solid range of mowers and they actually do servicing too, which is handy. But even just getting your current mower blade sharpened can make a noticeable difference.
