https://artofcoaching.com/zoom-with-brett/

Today’s episode cuts right to the chase. As humans, we love to demonstrate our brilliance by highlighting the stupidity of others. What if we sought to reveal their intelligence instead? By understanding context and seeking to make others look better, we not only engage in more productive conversation, we end up looking more intelligent ourselves.

Seek value and you will create value. That’s it.

E93 | The Sin Of Self Promotion Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Promotion is not only a good thing, it’s absolutely necessary.

Yes, you read that right.

Today we are diving deep into the (perhaps not so) dark side of a taboo topic: self-promotion. If just hearing this word makes you want to tear your hair out... this one's for you. Regardless of your stance, I promise this episode will make you think twice about the importance of putting yourself and your work out there.

Today we cover:

Why the word / concept of (self) promotion has gotten such a bad rap
The excuses we use for not self-promoting
Tips for tactful (self) promotion
Why putting skin in the game and screwing somebody over are not the same thing

Speaking of promotion... We are hosting our first post-quarantine apprenticeship July 25-26th in Charleston, SC. Join us for a weekend of self-discovery and learn how to be a more agile communicator. Regardless of your role or profession, this workshop will change the way you interact, communicate and lead others. Check out the link below, we can’t wait to see you there!

E90 | Coaching As Improv May 20, 2020

Show notes

It’s been a long three months, but we are excited to announce that our Apprenticeship™ events are BACK! Starting July 25-26th in Charleston, SC., join us for a transformative learning experience. Don’t believe me? Maybe today’s episode will change your mind.

Looking back, did you know what was going to happen to you today? How about the last 72 hours? 3 months? Chances are you had no idea. That’s because everything we do in life is improv. No, not the improv that you pay to see at a comedy club… improv as in role playing under situational constraints.

Today’s episode is one we all need because let’s face it, right now we are all improvising. We are all having to adapt to certain constraints. So let’s dig into how to be agile and leverage spontaneity to overcome our old systematized, controlled processes.

Today’s episode goes into:

The origins and definitions of improv
How other fields use improvisation training and why coaching needs something similar
The real reason we are scared to engage in improvised learning/practice
Principles of improvisation: spontaneity, collaboration, boundaries, etc.
"Improv is a process not a product"

If this episode is at all intriguing, you’ll LOVE our Apprenticeship™ workshop. Make sure to check out our next locations and dates using the link below. We’d love to see you there.

https://artofcoaching.com/apprenticeship/

If you haven’t heard, we partnered with TrainHeroic to bring you online training! This platform and our programs are not for absolutists and elitists. These are for people who want real world strength but also have real world schedules. Whether you have professional/personal constraints but still want to get after it, need smart modified training or just want a break from the mental stress of having to program for yourself... this resource was created for you. We provide these programs and videos through the TrainHeroic app, so head to the link below and check it out!

E89 | Jim Kielbaso: Everything You Need To Know About Training Youth Athletes May 18, 2020

Show notes

https://artofcoaching.com/training/

If you’re a parent or have worked with children at any point in your career, this episode is for you. Sharing best practices and current research, today’s guest, Jim Kielbaso, helps us tackle the tough questions about training youth:

What’s the right age for my kids to start lifting weights?
Can training be harmful for development?
How many sports should they play?
How can I improve their running form?
How do I deal with coaches who think they should go to a million showcases and or practice non-stop?

Jim is the president of the International Youth Conditioning Association (IYCA) and the director of the Total Performance Training Center in Wixon, Michigan. He’s a former college strength and conditioning coach, and author of multiple books. With 25 years of experience in the field and three kids of his own, we are so fortunate to have our guest share his expertise on the subject.

Even if you don’t have or work with children, you are sure to get something out of this episode!

Hey everyone, today’s interview is with my friend Lyle Henley. Lyle is the Director of Performance for Football at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. We dive into what it is like being the strength coach for a college football team during the Coronavirus madness, maintaining these relationships, and much more!

Coach Henley grew up in Warren, Arkansas, a small logging town in the southern portion of the state, and was a member of the Louisiana Tech football program from 1994-1998. He began his career at linebacker before moving to tight end his senior year and was a member of the Bulldogs squad that defeated Alabama in a rain-soaked homecoming at Bryant-Denny Stadium in 1997.

Now in his fourth year, Henley believes the fruits of the program's labor have come to fruition. There is trust instilled between his staff and the athletes, a productive product on the field and endless energy inside and outside the operations facility.It's not just noticeable to him and coaches, however, as the players continuously laud the training program under Henley.
