Second Dad is the second voice.
The one that speaks after comfort fails.

Because there was no point. The team isn't the problem. The team is the proof. Adult Question:...

You weren't avoiding it. You were coaching around it.
Send us Fan Mail Second Dad | E0018 | The Conversation You Didn't Have. You weren't avoiding it. You were coaching around it. This episode exposes the cost of intelligent avoidance, the guided question, the softened frame, the conditions you kept creating. The behaviour stayed. The debt grew. And the conversation you didn't have became part of how the system runs. Adult Question: What conversation have you turned into coaching — because coaching meant you never had to say the thing di...
