  • 186. Why Leaders Hesitate to Try Coaching and How to Move Forward
    Jan 13 2026

    Are you a leader or business owner considering team or personal coaching but held back by common objections like cost, time, or team buy-in? In this episode of the Decide Your Legacy Podcast, host Adam Gragg dives deep into the nine most frequent objections he hears from leaders about business and leadership coaching.

    Adam unpacks powerful insights on:

    • The difference between coaching and consulting and why industry knowledge isn't always the key
    • How an outside, industry-agnostic perspective can break through company bottlenecks
    • The power of accountability, clarity, and consistent follow-up for lasting change
    • Why investing in coaching is about long-term growth, profitability, and a healthier culture (not just cost)
    • Real-life transformation stories from leaders who nearly said “no” but chose to invest in their teams and themselves

    Whether you’re skeptical about coaching or want to kick-start positive change in your organization, this episode will help you weigh not just the investment, but the real cost of staying stuck. Be inspired to face your leadership challenges, spark meaningful conversations, and design a legacy you're proud of.
