The question at the center
How do you help someone without taking their problem away from them?
Why it matters
Capable people solve things. That instinct quietly ends other people's thinking, routes every recurring problem back through you, and blurs the line between supporting someone and taking over.

Potato™, your learning coach
Here, Potato is unhurried and genuinely curious — it models the listening the experience teaches. It will ask for the actual question you'd say out loud.
What you'll walk away with
- A coaching conversation rebuilt from a real one
- Two questions that don't carry your answer inside them
- A clear line between what's yours and what belongs to someone qualified
