“Human beings under pressure are wonderfully unpredictable. Their nature is a puzzle to us all. When human beings are placed in an arena, and their hopes and fears are exposed in front of 1000s, they're likely to do extraordinary things. This is especially true if somebody has told them, “don't let us down.” - Pat Moore
When faced with one of life's biggest moments- whether that's giving a speech at a loved one's wedding, interviewing for your dream job, or performing in front of a crowd of hundreds of strangers, the last thing we need to worry about is choking or freezing up.
And yet, for many that's a very real concern.
But freezing in big moments is not only avoidable, it's something that even the most seasoned of professionals deals with. And it's definitely not a reason to say no to these opportunities in the first place...
In this episode we discuss:
- What choking is and why it happens (07:00)
- How to reframe your thoughts about your physiological responses (12:30)
- What a sound, realistic routine looks like and how to not become a slave to it (21:30)
- Strategies to help you build the skills necessary to handle high pressure situations and get the results you want (40:20)
If this is something you’re ready to dive into, to step out of your comfort zone and immerse yourself in the experience you need to improve in this area, The Apprenticeship workshop is where you need to be. This 2-day live event is centered around building the skills to perform - not just taking in more information. Through experiential learning, we’ll provide you with the frameworks, tools, practice and feedback you need to truly enhance your performance in high stake situations. Check out our entire live event schedule to choose your location today!

Speaking of high pressure situations, if you’re a leader, coach, business owner, or if other people depend on you in any way, having a supportive community is an extremely beneficial tool to help you not get overwhelmed. This is why we’ve created The Coalition - a collection of committed professionals to bounce ideas off of, help you make big decisions, and offer a second opinion to make sure your blindspots are covered. If you’d benefit from a group of experienced advocates in your corner, talk to our team and apply for The Coalition today! Spots are limited, so don’t wait.
Today’s episode is brought to you by Momentous. Just as all of us at Art of Coaching discuss the critical nature of the words we choose- none of you need me to tell you the importance of what you put in your body. I could care less if you’re a world-class athlete, more of the Uncle Rico Archetype or simply someone who sits at a desk all day in the corporate world- what you put in your body matters. Momentous makes products that are no-nonsense, quality-tested at the highest level and for anyone who just wants to feel better without overthinking their nutritional support options.

“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask… for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” - Albert Einstein
A good question might just be the most powerful tool you have in your communication arsenal.
Why? Well to start, questions are the vehicle through which we understand ourselves, exchange information, build rapport in relationships and persuade others.
But asking great questions isn’t as easy as always starting with “why.”
In today’s episode, my colleague Ali Kershner and I dive deep into the research behind the power of great questions, how to hone your skill, and improve your social agility by knowing how and when to use these skills appropriately in everyday life. Some of the specific pieces we talk about include:
- What makes questions so powerful, and why it’s important to ask better questions in the first place (12:10)
- Specific tactics and examples to help you ask better questions (25:00)
- The 3 C’s to becoming a better question asker (36:30)
- How to manage a conversation when you’re being asked tough questions (56:30)
There is A LOT packed into this episode. So to help you connect all the dots, here are some other relevant resources:

Sometimes we can be unaware of our own desires and motivations, our wants and needs, and talking to a professional can help us gain valuable insights. We all know that leadership and coaching can be incredibly fulfilling, but it can also be challenging. It can lead to compassion fatigue and moments where we feel overwhelmed trying to help so many people to the best of our ability. When you're constantly giving yourself to others, it's easy to forget you also need to take care of your own needs. Luckily BetterHelp is here to well help. Go to betterhelp.com/aoc today.

What it means to be fit and healthy has been distorted for far too long.
So many of us know that feeling of confusion and hopelessness as we try to sort through the endless black hole of fitness trends, tricks and hacks making impossible promises.
The truth is that we need more straightforward and realistic solutions to our questions - Which diet will actually work? What type of exercise is right for me? How do I balance all of this and work a full-time job/ raise a family?!
As health and fitness professionals, Kelly and Juliet Starrett have been asked these questions over and over again. In an effort to make these answers more accessible, they’ve created a movement and nutrition strategy for entire families to apply that’s flexible, fun, sustainable, and most importantly GETS RESULTS.
Dr. Kelly Starrett is a coach, physical therapist, two-time New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of The Ready State, the world's most comprehensive collection of guided movement, mechanics, and mobility instructional videos.

She is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Deskbound, and co-host of The Ready State Podcast.
In today’s episode, we not only discuss the ins and outs of their new book, Built to Move, but also how the adversity in their lives has contributed to their success today. Specifically, we speak about:
- The “vital signs” that anyone can track and evaluate daily to rate themselves and others on the “healthy” scale (21:50)
- How their strategy can improve performance in whatever sense of the word you prefer (31:30)
- The difference between their book and every other “fitness” book out there (43:20)
- How tough upbringings have contributed to their success, both professionally and personally (53:00)

After weeks of failed attempts, and 20 hours in to the final 26 hour piece of the climb, Jacqueline realizes that she’s FINALLY going to reach the top of Mt. Aconcagua. Tears of joy start welling up in her eyes as she thinks of what she’s about to overcome.
Then, in an instant, chaos hits and circumstances change.
In her quest to achieve “The Explorer’s Grand Slam” - when somebody reaches the North Pole, South Pole, and climbs the highest peak on all 7 continents - Jacqueline is learning that her physical, emotional, and spiritual limits are so much greater than she ever thought possible.
Jacquline Kasen, creator of Get JacQd, Senior Director of Group Fitness at Anataomy (Miami, FL), Certified Coach, and mountaineer, has been immersed in the world of fitness from a young age. From winning a Junior Olympic title to excelling as a collegiate athlete, and now cultivating an elite fitness experience for her audience, Jacqueline believes strongly that people are capable of so much more than they give themselves credit for. And she’s on a mission to prove that through her coaching and by the way she lives her own life.
In today’s episode, we talk about her experience on Mt. Aconcagua, and what extreme circumstances can teach us about leadership and the perception of leadership. More specifically, we speak on:
- The investment someone makes when they decide to commit to a climb (12:40)
- What good leadership looked like and the results of poor leadership in chaos (28:50)
- How empathy can negatively impact your effectiveness as a leader (54:20)
- How experiencing tragedy shows us who we are and what we truly stand for (59:25)
You can connect with Jacqueline on her IG: @Kasenfitness. She answers all her DMs, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to learn more and/or work with her!
If you hadn’t noticed on the podcast, Jacqueline has really found her voice to share her story effectively. Not only does her passion for coaching and climbing shine through, but her convicting tone inspires many to reflect on what holds them back, face their own fears, and set all their excuses aside.
If this is something you want to improve on - to find your voice and make a bigger impact on more people - then the Art of Coaching Speaker School is the best place for you. This live 2 day experience not only gives you the knowledge you need to create a logical and clear presentation, but provides you with a safe environment to fail, one filled with people who want you to succeed, and are there to give you the feedback and encouragement you need to take steps forward.

What happens when you walk into a situation and quickly realize it isn’t what you expect?
How do you respond and learn to adapt?
How do you know where you need to change and where to stand firm?
Currently Head of Performance with US Soccer, Darcy found himself asking these questions after he and his family moved overseas, to a country where they couldn’t speak the language and they were largely unfamiliar with the surrounding culture. In the midst of navigating the lonely moments that he and his family were experiencing, Darcy’s willingness to reflect deeply on his values and level of self-awareness propelled him into the leader he is today in all scopes of life.
After working over 25 years in the Human Performance industry in multiple Director positions, Darcy has spent the past 10 years focused on creating and implementing methodologies and applied data, building strategic relations, hiring, training and managing performance staffs at the highest level. Having lived and worked in four countries with scores of invitations for speaking engagements around the world, Darcy’s professional relationships and networking span the globe in all sports.
In today’s episode, we expand on this reflection process, and several other topics, including:
- The role of self-awareness in contextual intelligence (25:50)
- Embracing yourself as a leader, even if you don’t see yourself as one (34:45)
- How having a basic understanding of power dynamics and context can improve your ability to analyze and address a situation optimally (47:00)
- The 2 most important questions to utilize in a staff evaluation (59:00)
