WITH JAY SILVA
We’re blending business coaching with emotional intelligence
in a way most consultants don’t. Below is your blog post draft for The CEO’s Grind site. It captures the intended essence of your video, the psychology behind the coaching, and why these “soft” skills are really your sharpest tools.

What This Blog (and Episode) Is About
There are moments in leadership that define your culture—and they rarely happen in boardrooms or spreadsheets. They happen mid-conversation, in real time, in the way you say “no” without shame, or “yes” without overpromising.
This episode of Coaching Moment with Jay is one of those.
It’s not just a conversation—it’s a transformation in motion.
The Real Lesson: Soft Skills Aren’t Optional—They’re Operational
In this coaching moment, we explore how to redirect, instruct, and lead without creating resentment or confusion.
You’ll see what it looks like when someone moves from one emotional or mental “hat” to another—without a single raised voice or awkward silence. This is how psychologically sound consulting works:
- ✅ Validate emotions without enabling excuses
- ✅ Set expectations and build trust
- ✅ Frame feedback as opportunity—not rejection
- ✅ Use tone, pacing, and questions as tools
Why This Matters for CEOs and Consultants
Many leaders operate with brute force: Do it because I said so.
What I’m practicing—and teaching—is how to win people over with precision, using real empathy and business frameworks in the same breath.
It’s the invisible skill set:
- Not in your MBA
- Not in traditional management books
- And definitely not in hustle culture videos
But it’s everything when you’re scaling teams, negotiating deals, or fixing what’s broken.
Final Nugget (What to Watch for in the Video)
🎯 Notice the shift…
The coaching subject doesn’t get cut down. They get built up—while still being firmly guided. That’s the CEO Grind difference.
The video is short. The lesson is long-lasting.
