E106 | Jesse Elis: The Authenticity Trap Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

What happens when you think you are acting with authenticity and integrity only to find out that isn’t how you are being perceived? Today, I’m joined by Jesse Elis for a conversation about the importance of and challenges to developing external self-awareness.

We also discuss:

What you should NOT do once you get the job
Being authentic and trying too hard - can they be one and the same?
Ego defense mechanisms preventing you from true self-reflection
Falling into the trap of trying to prove instead of provide value
The argument against integrity as an essential leadership trait

As the Director of Player Health and Performance for the Portland Trail Blazers, Jesse leads all facets of the medical and performance staff to collaboratively provide preventative maintenance and rehabilitative health care to Trail Blazers players. He also works closely with the team’s athletic trainers, physicians, strength and conditioning specialists, nutritionists, psychologists and sport performance specialists to integrate rehabilitative concepts into performance training. Prior to the Trail Blazers, he was the Director of Physical Therapy for EXOS and managed the rehab teams for all EXOS legacy sites. He received his doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of North Dakota (2009) and completed a 3 year post-doctorate fellowship through Evidence in Motion. In addition, he is part-owner of a continuing education company, Phoenix Manual Therapy, which specializes in high level clinical reasoning and manual therapy integration.

If you’ve done the courses and need a new challenge, sign up for our first Apprenticeship™ of the summer - July 25-26th in Charleston, SC!

Today’s guest perfectly personifies the intersection of AOC’s various audiences. Not only a coach, Luka Hocevar is also a business man, entrepreneur AND a master storyteller. Trust me, you’re going to have a hard time believing some of the stories he shares…

Born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Luka credits basketball, fitness and coaching for taking him from a path of crime to playing professional basketball. Following his playing career, Luka pursued his passion of training. As the founder and co-owner of Vigor Ground gym in Ljubljana, Slovenia and owner of Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance in Seattle, WA, Luka has coached over 3,000 elite athletes (in the NBA, NFL, UFC, MLB, college and high school), rehab patients and clients from every walk of life. Luka is also the creator of Vigor Ground Fitness and Business Summit, an educational event for coaches and gym owners.

Luka and Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance have been featured in Mens Health, Stack Magazine, Onnit Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, HBO Real Sports, Precision Nutrition, as well as CBS, FOX, USA Today, ABC and KING5 New Day NW as Seattle’s top fitness expert.

In today’s episode we discuss:

The role of deception in effective leadership
Creating an environment to practice chaos and adversity
Is there a difference between leadership and management?
How vulnerability and humility can be “overdone”
"What’s difficult is scarce and what’s scarce is valuable"

If you love the stuff Luka talks about in this episode, but are new to the field and just need help getting started, we have a new resource for you. This ebook is called “Advice for New Coaches” and can be downloaded for free here!

E101 | The Mindset & Questions That Stall Your Professional Progress Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

E101: Brett Solo Episode: The Mindset & Questions That Will Stall Your Professional Progress If you own a restaurant, is it enough to make the best pizza in town? If you are a coach, is it enough to write the perfect program? If you are an entrepreneur, is it enough to make a flawless product? No. Just doing good work is not enough. As social beings in a social world, we must combine knowledge of our field with that of communication, behavior and business.

If that's the case, what’s the minimum amount of knowledge I need in my field before I start learning about these other topics?

In today’s quick hitter, I tackle this question and ones like it that limit our growth and prevent us from being truly effective with our respective populations.

As with most of our solo episodes, there is a lot to digest here. For help applying the concepts heard today and a list of the questions mentioned, be sure to download our free podcast reflections.

Still not sure where to start? Check out our online courses Bought In and Valued. Bought In will help you refine your intrapersonal communication skills while Valued will aid you in creating viability in both your career and personal life. Remember, the offer code “century20” will get you 20% off anything from artofcoaching.com/courses now through July 15th.

In this one, you’ll hear us exchange laughs, struggles, favorite experiences and maybe even some dirt.

E99 | Steven Moser: Getting the Job and Nailing Your Interview Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Are you someone who…

Will enter the job market at any point in the future?
Is in a leadership position and looking to hire?
Can’t seem to break through and get the job you want?

If you answered yes to any of these, this one's for you.

Today I am joined by someone who will help us understand exactly what we need to do to get the job or find the best person for the job. I urge you to download the free podcast reflection and follow along as we discover that a good resume, cover letter and network are no longer enough…

After starting his career in the Buffalo Sabres scouting department, Steve Moser found himself somewhere he always wanted to avoid - Corporate America. Wanting to use his experience in the business world to get back to something he really loved, Steve joined Athletes' Performance/EXOS to lead recruiting. Having placed hundreds of performance professionals, he then started a consulting business where he worked with organizations including teams across the NBA, MLB, MLS, NCAA, UFC, and multiple Olympic teams. Steve is currently working full-time with Tonal, a connected fitness technology company in San Francisco where he is the Manager of Recruiting.

In today’s episode we cover:

What recruiters are REALLY looking for on a resume
Does social media help or hurt you in a job search?
The most important word in hiring
Practicing for a phone/in-person interview
When you shouldn’t network

For more help getting the job you want, check out our online course, Valued. This resource will not only help you negotiate and market yourself, it will help you cultivate a personal brand that companies will want to hire.

If you are a strength coach/trainer on the West Coast and interested in being on the Tonal platform you can email coachwithtonal@tonal.com.

Just a quick reminder that we are hosting our first AOC Apprenticeship™ of the summer - July 25-26th in Charleston, SC! Like Steve mentioned, the best way to prepare for an interview is to have different conversations with different people. This workshop is just the place to do that. Spots are going fast, sign up here.

E98 | Chad Landers: Built To Last Jun 18, 2020

There’s high turnover in our field. Having a long career isn’t the norm. Building a brand that withstands the test of time is difficult. Not burning out is rare. But all are possible.

Today’s guest is here to help us understand what it takes.

Chad Landers has been a personal trainer in Los Angeles for 27 years and has owned his own gym, Push Private Fitness, for 17.

In this episode we discuss:

Challenges of starting a career in the social media age
Building a brand that can withstand the test of time
Tips for taking smart, calculated risks
The importance of having hard conversations/setting expectations
What happens when others surpass you?

If you do feel burned out or need a resource to get unstuck in your career, check out our online course - Valued.

E97 | Heidi Morrison: Reaching Teens and Resolving Conflict Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for coaches to refer to themselves as teachers. When it comes to relating to people, fostering a learning environment, creating buy-in and adapting to change, this comparison isn’t far from the truth. And yet, there is still so much we can learn from the teaching profession. All of this to say, I am so glad to have my good friend Heidi Morrison on the show today…

As an Assistant Principal at Centennial High School (Fulton County, GA), Heidi has worked with more than 10,000 adults over her 23-year career. With a background in special education, leadership and career advising, Heidi gives us unique insight into the ever-changing role of teachers and administrators.

Join us as we discuss:

Designing buildings and spaces to create comfort and buy-in
Proxemics and using your “dark side”
Should we try to “catch-up” up post-COVID-19?
Managing change within a 90,000 student school district
Guided discovery and the flipped classroom

Heidi is the perfect example of how communication and people skills can benefit people in every profession. Regardless of your role, be sure to check out our online courses for more... For example, Bought In (our flagship course), helps you develop an action plan to start creating greater buy-in while understanding the psychological principles that underpin human behavior. And Valued provides individuals the ability to land the job they’ve always wanted, make more money, create stability and stand out within their organization.
