Martin Sage
A game worth playing.
Thirty years coaching executives, banks and the people who build things. Now writing it all down.
The work
Most coaching sells technique. What actually moves a room is attention - the willingness to look at what is in front of you without deciding in advance what it means.
Three threads run through everything here: how people lead, how they build, and how they stay connected while doing both.
Leadership
Three decades with executives and banks, in rooms where the stakes were real and the politics were worse. What survives that is not a framework. It is judgment, and judgment can be taught.
Entrepreneurship
Lebe Deinen Traum - Live Your Dream - as an audiobook, chapter by chapter. On building something of your own without losing the part of you that wanted to build it.
Relationship
No career outlasts the relationships it is built on. The quietest work, and the one that decides whether any of the rest was worth it.
