A podcast for coaches, trainers, teachers, and consultants to help others change. We’ll talk motivation, psychology of change, connection, influence, and communication. Ultimately, it’s a podcast to learn how to work with people.
One of the most common struggles coaches, managers, and leaders all set to have is compliance—how do you get your clients and employees to stick with the things you need them to do? You can give some…
In today’s episode, we dive into burnout—why it happens and how to prevent it. Especially in the US, we’re often expected to produce “more, bigger, faster” without purpose, a mindset that often leads…
I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not the greatest at supporting people through tough times. As life goes on the people around us, our family, friends, and clients experience some truly difficult circu…
I never liked the idea that you should live without regrets. Regret is not only a normal experience, but it’s extremely useful for providing us with opportunities for growth. Today I’m sharing with y…
Thought I’d do a little bit different of an episode today, and much longer than the usual. This episode is a prerecorded presentation I gave recently around the 10 laws of great coaching. While the p…
Have you ever been stuck? In a rut? It’s hard to define what it means to be “stuck,” but we all know what it feels like. It’s not quite depression, but there’s a feeling of meaninglessness, a craving…
This year has been my busiest yet when it comes to public speaking—both personally and professionally. In all these situations, I've found it incredibly helpful to use mental structures to guide me; …
Delegation is as easy as telling certain people to do certain tasks. But when I work with coaches and managers it’s never quite as simple, and it all has to do with psychology. Are you surprised? You…
I’ll be honest with you—I felt like phoning it in with the podcast this week. It’s hot and I’m tired, and I just didn’t want to sit down and make it happen. But in the back of my mind, I kept thinkin…
Are humans inherently good, or are they born to be bad? There are centuries of discussion surrounding this question, and I don’t know that we’ll ever have a definitive answer on the topic, but I do k…
In my early 20s, I went through a period of self-inflicted struggles—poor communication, academic underperformance, and several personal challenges. At a low point, my sister Jill invited me to live …
I love learning and sharing information as much as (if not more than) the next guy, but in order to be an effective leader it isn’t enough to simply know a lot—you need a methodology. Information is …
When it comes to leadership, the material isn’t the thing that matters—it’s how you deliver that material. In this episode, we explore how leadership, energy, and influence profoundly shape those aro…
As managers, coaches, and leaders, it’s critical that people feel safe to come to you in times of need. By now you know that if you want to make a change in your life, you have a much better chance i…
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “Do the thing, and you shall have the power.” You’ll notice how he said “thing” singular, and not “everything.” We tend to glorify people who make huge, sweeping changes…
We talk about mindset a lot on this pod, and there’s good reason for it. Our mindset, whatever it may be, shapes our experiences, beliefs, and relationships—in short, it impacts every area of our liv…
If, by some impossible chance, you’ve missed it: the Olympics are currently happening. As I’ve been watching, I’ve been thinking a lot about perfection—these athletes are as close to perfection in th…
Our health and fitness is foundational for every aspect of our lives, from our energy levels, our career goals, and even to our relationships… so what’s holding so many of us back from prioritizing t…
The more I study leadership, the more it becomes clear that competence is the entry fee in having influence. You've got to be good at what you do. Not only does competence make you a more inspiring a…
I don’t work with a ton of people who explicitly say that they hate themselves, but when I get to the root of their thoughts and behaviors, they don’t treat themselves like someone they like. I do th…
