EP 63 - How To Coach, Practical Management Tools & His Crazy Battle with Cancer w/Naz Harrison

Описание: In this episode of The 1% Better Recruitment Podcast, I’m joined by Naz Harrison — Director, Coach & L&D Leader, who went from a successful recruiter to one of the UK’s most respected recruitment trainers and coaches.

Naz opens up about his life-changing battle with stage 4 cancer, how it completely rewired his mindset, and why it shaped his mission to help recruiters and leaders think, coach, and perform differently.

We dig into what “real coaching” actually looks like (and why most managers are just mentoring), how to build emotional intelligence in teams, and the mindset shift that comes from going through something that forces you to see life, leadership, and learning through a whole new lens.

This is a powerful, practical, and deeply human conversation about coaching, mindset, and how to lead with clarity, empathy, and purpose — in recruitment and in life.

We cover:
✅ Beating stage 4 cancer & the mindset shift that followed
✅ The difference between presenting & true training
✅ Coaching vs mentoring — and why most managers get it wrong
✅ The power of powerful questions & frameworks like GROW
✅ Practical management tools: anchors, time for chaos & question caps
✅ How to build a coaching culture in recruitment
✅ Why mindset beats motivation every time
✅ Turning trauma into purpose
✅ Building resilience, clarity & confidence as a leader

Whether you’re a manager, founder, or recruiter looking to level up your coaching, this episode will help you rethink how you lead, train, and perform — and show why coaching, done right, changes everything.
