What does it really mean to be the adult in the room?

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with Tara Lynn, transformational coach and trusted adviser to high performers who have reached the edge of what got them here. We explore how leaders and coaches can regulate themselves under pressure, avoid slipping into “parent” or “child” reactions, and communicate with clarity instead of ego.

Tara shares her A.D.U.L.T framework, breaks down the difference between training and coaching, and explains why language, timing and self-awareness determine whether challenge feels like growth or threat.

We also unpack:

  • How to stay calm when others are not
  • Why attachment to outcomes undermines leadership
  • The fine line between coaching and rescuing
  • How men can communicate with women without patronising
  • When to engage… and when to walk away
