-
Chip664Not a Leadership PodcastListened several times. This is not about coaching leaders this is about psychologically helping someone grappling with leadership at ground level. Real Leaders is a misnomer.
-
LEvans1118Consistently thought provokingMuriel does an excellent job of asking probing questions of her guests and, as a result, her audience, about their careers, how they want to show up at work, and how to address roadblocks. I get something out of every episode.
-
Valerie D.C.Muriel always gets to the heart of the issueI’m really enjoying this series and admire Muriel’s clarity, constructive spirit, and engaging coaching approach. As a coach myself, I appreciate Muriel so much!
-
KobusedGreat show with an engaging hostEvery episode has been useful and entertaining. I’ve revisited many over the past few years
-
audreycampMy favorite leadership podcast. So human!Coaching is a skill. An art. And when it’s working, it feels effortless. These conversations with real leaders are fascinating because Muriel keeps them grounded. The original premise of every episode is important, but Muriel gets to the more interesting root of it each time by asking straightforward questions, challenging guests gently but firmly, and offering wisdom that is accessible to everyone. Seriously love that these episodes can be valuable both for all Leaders and for aspiring Coaches. Keep up the great work!
-
DianifernEach episode is a learning opportunityBrilliant podcast, incredibly helpful!
-
Eva JannottaI learn so much listening to this showThis show is a lesson in deep listening, asking great questions, and questioning our assumptions. I love getting to “eavesdrop” on what is usually a closed-door dynamic (reminds me of Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel in that way) and getting to hear the client’s transformation in real time. Muriel is a real one.
-
SKMTransformGreat insights!I get something from every episode. This is a podcast that provides a lot of value!
-
jrh1010Outstanding.I learn actionable each time I listen.
-
customer-since-2000Relatable examplesI’ve enjoyed so many episodes because they are so relevant to my work experience. Muriel’s approach is supportive and challenging. In each episode, she guides the guest in a way that I can take into my own life. Keep the episodes coming!!!
-
firefox2013In one word: Brilliant !Muriel is a brilliant, empathetic and insightful coach. I love this podcast so much that I have saved pretty much every episode. It’s not just useful as a leader in need for help and guidance (I learn a lot from the coaching sessions) but her ability to discover and guide the leaders helps me a lot in becoming a better coach for my team. These two learning tracks make it a podcast that is truly gold! Thank your Muriel for this amazing service.
-
Pruett GirlLearn something every timeLove listening to CRL during my commute to work. Muriel is a fabulous coach and interviewer who puts me in the right mindset to be open minded and approach my work with a leadership mindset. Love the broad diversity of industries and career stages in the guests. I learn something fresh and often unexpected every episode. Working on my Muriel styles “Mmmkay” to use with my team when we hit on a gem.
-
Hannah K BrooksLove!This podcast is golden. I’m learning so much. Thank you thank you Thank you!!

HuriMattMuriel is My New Friend ❤️Several weeks ago, I started listening to Miruel's podcast. I have to admit it wasn't love at first sight, but as I listened more, I started to connect with her content. I've listened to more than half of the episodes she offers, and I find them invaluable and eye-opening, not only for the leaders who join the show but also for us listeners. I love it, and I'm sure once I complete all the episodes, I'll go back and listen to them again. I can’t thank enough for this amazing work.
-
GioBorgExcellent content and conversationsI have listened to many podcast over the years but this is the first one to actually provide a good insight on how the coaching process work. I could see myself talking to the host and reflecting a long the episodes. Great content and keep it going!
-
mschoopFascinating, insightful, and practical conversationsListening to Muriel talk though professional challenges in real time with her clients is like watching an expert aerialist perform a high-wire act with someone who just walked in off the street. It takes extraordinary skill and pose as well as breathtaking courage from both participants. Both coach and clients navigate between presenting a professional identity and displaying the vulnerability needed to have a real conversation about desires, hopes, and fears. The result is riveting.
-
Vulcan In The StreetsThe most helpful and practical career podcast out there.Sometimes this podcast feels like going to church. Thank you so much for the amazing content. I always walk away learning something new about myself and how I can show up better, for myself, at work and in life.
-
ZozL_1One of the bestGreat coaching and I love her ability to connect and jointly problem solve. She’s one of the best for sure. I have personally learned from each episode how to best navigate career development
-
SarahKC313A staple for meI often feel bogged down in the day-to-day work of being a mid level professional. This podcast helps me bring my head up and be strategic in my observations and in my actions. Nearly every episode is helpful to me — even the ones that I don’t connect with at the beginning. By the end, I see how the content relates to me or to someone in my network. Hearing Muriel walk people through such a thoughtful evaluation — of self and of their environment — is truly something special. Thank you!
-
RescrollingHighly recommend for ambitious professionalsI started listening to this podcast because one specific episode stood out to me as very relevant to a problem I was having at work. I’ve since listened to multiple seasons and the content regularly inspires me to up-level my game at work. Often, the coaching session takes turns that aren’t evident in the title, so I found that even episodes where the title didn’t immediately resonate with me, there are great coaching nuggets that apply to my experiences. The more you listen, the more you’ll see patterns in Muriel’s coaching that you can apply broadly or with your own reports. Muriel has an amazing way of asking questions that help you discover the answer within yourself, but she also provides frameworks that help you think through it, and she’s great with analogies and metaphors that bring so much clarity to the process.

LLS7281Learn Something Every EpisodeThis podcast has given me helpful insight into my own career, goals, and aspirations. Muriel Wilkins is an incredibly effective career coach in every episode and I am able to reflect on my own life and career after every session. The stories are relatable, interesting, and inspiring. I look forward to every episode. 5 stars all around.
-
SybilleHeleneInsightful and transformational coachingEach episode is so incredibly on point and has takeaways and insights for every aspect of work life. A wonderful podcast. Muriel is an incredible coach who’s approach empowers others to successfully tap into their untapped resources in service of their aspirations
-
SarahLuna10Muriel is a coaching gem!She is so intuitive and insightful. She not only helps leaders navigate through complex leadership challenges, she’s inspired many coaches to reflect on what we can take away from every podcast and put into practice to become even better coaches to our clients.
-
Kenny00-Amazing Leadership PodcastThis podcast will accelerate a leader’s growth and help with navigating the tough issues
-
rvteedGreat example of coachingAs an executive coach myself, I am always impressed with Muriel’s practical approach. Her work is obviously abbreviated on the pod, but her impact is not. If you are new coaching or just curious to be a fly on the wall, this is great pod to subscribe to.
-
Misao1What I wish I had growing up professionallyEvery time I listen to a Coaching Real Leaders episode, I think about the different decisions I would have made or approaches I would have taken had I had Muriel in my ear with this podcast earlier in my career. The CRL team has their finger on the pulse of what's keeping leaders up at night, delivering important topics with incredible insights and candor while helping coachees increase their awareness and create a plan for addressing their challenges. And for coaches, Muriel provides a masterclass in coaching every single episode. A must-add to your podcast list!
-
icey502Muriel is the real dealThis is a great podcast. You get to hear real-life leadership struggles first hand. Muriel is clearly an expert coach, guiding and illuminating with a deft touch. Her approach and observations are super insightful.
-
ccsongbirdGreat PodcastI love sharing these with people who are dealing with similar situations. It gives them an opportunity to hear what coaching is, while helping them hear how someone else in a similar situation worked through their situation. It also helps people to see they are not alone in what they are dealing with. This is sincerely one of my favorite podcasts.
-
ProfNeuroMDManaging yourselfMuriel Maignan Wilkins has hit upon something all of us human beings can use, how to navigate ourselves in the face of situations we can’t always influence or control. Bravo, and thank you for your generosity.
-
1inazillionAmazing showI’ve listened to this a few times with colleagues for our monthly professional development sessions. Muriel is simply amazing at what she does and I find so much value in tagging along for her coaching sessions with leaders.
-
klickitat!Free executive coaching advice!The best podcast for everyday leadership challenges from a real life coach. Muriel effectively shares her vast library of coaching advice with empathy and passion across a wide range of actual situations. I can’t wait for the next season.
-
52JosImmensely ValuableShe provides opportunities to reflect on important topics we likely we all deal with as a leader.
-
12;,(Illumination every timeThank you all (Wilkins and Team) for what you offer! I am a small business owner and every time I listen to your podcast I get rays of light shined on places in me and my business. I so appreciate this! And I especially value the way you coach — allowing for my own exploration with a set of reasonable, kind, and rigorous guardrails!
-
Go lions 21Thank youGreat podcast. Love every episode
-
KristinThoUnlocked ConfidenceThe episode on Navigating a New Senior Role felt like I was the guest. It really helped me quickly get to the root of my hesitation, uncertainty and discomfort. Thank you!
-
coffeedude_jUncanny insightsMuriel does an amazing job of keeping the focus on the growth of the individual leader rather than trying to solve their external challenge. I am always learning from both sides of the conversation!
-
Dan TaberBrilliant host, brilliant formatI listen to a lot of great podcasts about leadership and managing - this is my favorite!! The format of the show is ingenious because, by listening to Muriel talk guests through their challenges, you learn about both the coaching practice itself and how to deal with common leadership challenges. As a senior manager, I can relate to struggles in almost every episode. It’s like I’m getting my own personal coach for free! Muriel is such a talented coach and teaches me something new every time.
-
Drippin runnerSinging my life with her words!!When I listened to the episode on disillusionment with the executive team, “Killing me softly with his song” popped into my head because the episode was so apropos to my situation! So many of these episodes are- highly recommend!
-
Kim HeitzI’ve learned so much!A friend recommended Muriel’s podcast a year ago just as I began to lead a larger team and moved into a new and expanded role. Hearing Muriel coach other leaders through their challenges helped me so much during those early months. Each conversation was like reading an entire book on leadership and management. I’ve learned something relevant that I can implement with every episode.
-
I<3cookies123456789Encouraging and helpful!I am a relatively new manager, working in a sometimes challenging leadership environment. I learn something new every episode that helps me be a better leader in my workplace, whether it’s interpersonal skills, setting personal boundaries, clarifying my goals, or thinking about my future career steps. I’m so grateful for Muriel and the generosity of her guests to share their stories!
-
ElaineAGrantJust what I needed!I run a small company. Like most entrepreneurs, I run into new challenges almost daily. I wasn’t sure a podcast from HBR would be relevant for to me, given the small size of my business. But the situation posed by the leader in an educational institution struggling to understand how to prioritize a longterm goal is almost exactly what I’m struggling with. Muriel’s questions were incredibly insightful, and I found her candor both refreshingly direct and still compassionate. I’ve listened to a lot of business podcasts, and this is one of the best.
-
RobertoLuis2Not up to par for HBRI wanted to live this but it’s slow, the insights are pretty basic, and Muriel’s voice timbre is tough to listen to. I keep trying every episode but can’t finish them.
-
Dave StachowiakSuch a generous and helpful podcastMuriel brings a helpful, direct, and compassionate style to each conversation with a client. I’m grateful for her generosity in hosting this show and also to the leaders who share their struggles and stories. A wonderful resource for leaders who are seeking immediate, practical steps for what’s next in growing their skills.
-
XxqchristyxxNot a great podcastI was intrigued initially with this podcast I think it has a lot of potential. I went back to the beginning episode one and extremely disappointed on episode two when they brought Raism into the picture for no apparent reason, although the issue seem to be a supervisor or boss as they put, it, had nothing to do with race, but they continue to bring it in, even after the person with the issue said the person basically is not racist has a great heart they continue to use the word racist although the coach is not a therapist she should at least recommended the person going to see a therapist, so they understand the difference between racism and just poor management. I can’t say I’m really super surprised considering the other Harvard business review podcast moved to left agenda only instead of staying neutral and trying to support people in general. They are trying to influence only..
-
BritxFashion1This is the best leadership podcast I’ve ever listened toHaving the ability to listen to other leaders explain their issues is so incredibly relatable and really helps the coaching from Muriel hit home so much more. I’m bingeing every episode and can’t wait for more to come out!
-
Demi206A hidden gemThank you Muriel Wilkins and the team to the podcast! I just love the format and content. You make executive coaching accessible. What a gift to the community. I learn so much from you and insights are precious! 🌷💕
-
C. NadiaMy Favorite PodcastMs. Muriel Wilkins is doing what she was born to do. She is incredibly gifted as a coach. She deftly leads leaders to answer their own burning questions through her savvy execution. As a mid-career manager, I have learned so much from Muriel in every episode; there are golden nuggets that I carry away every time I listen.
-
megs29722A must listen for anyone navigating the corporate worldThis podcast is a wealth of knowledge. Muriel has such a talent for identifying the real cause of the coaching clients roadblock. She helps the client break down the issue in a way that makes it both much more clear and seem like less of an insurmountable challenge. Her discussions are always positive and offer actionable, relevant advice for the listener as well. My only gripe is the length of the podcast and the frequency. I want more! I wish the episodes were 1 hour + and posted every week.
