It’s easy to let circumstances and self-doubt get in the way of our desires. But it’s not just our desires at risk- self doubt could be holding us back from creating change, advancing in our career or worse, getting in the way of our relationships.
Today’s guest Amira Mansour helps us understand that to create change you don’t have to get rid of the negative voice inside your head but rather recognize and reframe our thinking before it gets louder.
Amira is a communication coach and conflict expert based in the UK who obtained her law degree and spent the first 12 years of her professional life in the corporate world before making the jump to starting her own coaching business.
Like many coaches, Amira found her calling because of the adversities she’s had to overcome.
In this episode we discuss:
- How going out on your own starts with a conversation with yourself
- Creating self-value from negative self-talk
- Impostor syndrome: How you can be the expert but still have something to work on
- And much more…

Why would someone continue to believe a false or inaccurate idea when you are presenting them with plenty of facts and logic? You could not have presented your points more clearly!
Your rationale is sound but perhaps it’s not the lack of supporting evidence failing to shift their point of view, but rather how you presented it…
On today’s episode, Brett is joined by Ali Kershner in-studio for a deep dive into the tactics that will help you get your point across more effectively and give you the best chance to change their behavior.
Grab a pen and a notebook because this episode is hands-on and loaded with tactical information and strategies you can implement at work, home and anywhere you deal with people.
You'll learn:
- How to identify the areas you’re stubborn in and need to change

These days there’s no shortage of well-meaning leadership, relationship, and financial advice. It seems at every turn we’re reminded, “Winners never quit”, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”, and “You have two ears and one mouth for a reason”.
...And while some sound pleasantly helpful, there are times this guidance is total B.S.
On today’s show we take a stab at debunking and/or playing devil’s advocate with some of the cliché advice we blindly accept so we can better decide what’s worth following, what’s worth ignoring and what just needs an update?
Get ready, hot takes aplenty in this one!

The most dangerous phrase in any organization is “because that’s how we’ve always done it”. It’s the utterance of those scared of change, unwilling to think laterally, and clinging desperately to their comfort zone. Any true leader knows that in today’s rapidly evolving world, those who last will be those who adapt- plain and simple.
As hard as change may be, imagine trying to implement it at the ground level of an organization steeped in tradition and hierarchy like the Army. That’s what today’s guest Captain Anna Zamora is trying to do; Not only has she been tasked with implementing a new culture surrounding soldier health and wellness, she has had to prove the viability of the program to those around her and above her.
Captain Anna Zamora was a D1 strength coach from 2010-2020 with stops at Duke, Yale, UConn, Penn State, and DePaul. She’s been a member of the Army National Guard since 2010 and is currently a CPT of medical services and National Guard Director H2F at the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, VA. *You can find the rest of her bio below*
We cover:
- Navigating micropolitics, power dynamics and stakeholders at work
- How to promote change & influence senior leadership in your organization
- A breakdown of how to design and use role-playing drills (and a live example!)
- Strategies to make your first 100 days at a new job more successful

Without experiencing true difficulty, doubt, or adversity, it’s hard to know what any of us are really capable of. Truth is unless we’re thrust into such adversity, it’s nearly impossible to manufacture the type of hardship required to test our limits.
Today’s guest, ESPN college basketball analyst Steffi Sorensen, has dealt with more than her fair share. And while she probably wouldn’t wish recent experiences on anyone, there’s no doubt she’s grateful for the resilience built along the way. Join us as we discuss her path and how she’s managed to turn doubters and difficult times into an advantage.
Steffi was a former women’s basketball player at Florida, joined ESPN in 2011 as a color commentator, and is now a college basketball analyst and sideline reporter for SEC Network. She joined SEC Now as an analyst for the 2019-20 women’s basketball season. She was a sideline reporter for college football games on FOX Sports, as well as a fitness model and trainer. She spent one year playing professional basketball in France before starting as a color analyst for ESPN3 in 2010.
We discuss:
- Managing introversion as a public figure and professional speaker
- How to assert yourself and find your voice as a young professional
- Finding your “on-air” personality without sacrificing authenticity
- Learning from and through mistakes made (even on national television)

No matter what field you're in, technical skills will only take you so far. Eventually, you’ll need to leverage interpersonal skills to stand out and effect change. Problem is, society has misrepresented what it takes to train these skills, making them seem like intangible or innate qualities that can’t be measured or managed.
In reality, there’s more research on human interaction than any exercise or programming methodology (by far) and it’s quite simple to evaluate said “soft skills”. That’s why on today's episode we’re doing a deep dive into our proprietary social skill evaluation, how you can use it, and how it’s evolved over time.
Hint: it’s not just a matter of assessing “verbal and non-verbals”…
We’ll cover:
- How to measure something subjective and contextual like communication
- Why you need a comprehensive interpersonal evaluation and how it can help
- The major components most other social skill evaluations miss
- A breakdown of the AoC evaluation and how to use it situationally
If you want more on this subject and a copy of your own, you’ll have to join us in person at one of our Apprenticeship communication workshops. All upcoming locations and dates are listed here: artofcoaching.com/apprenticeship!

If you’re listening to this episode, you’re lying to yourself… But you’re not the only one.
Turns out most of us aren’t honest about the REAL reason we do what we do. Why? Because being honest requires admitting we have selfish desires and that we haven’t put ourselves in positions to experience failure. Neither are inherently pleasant but both are required if we want to get out of our own way and make real progress.
Today’s episode will be a wake up call for many of you. I won’t lie- it’s a hard hitter. But if you’re able to listen and dig deeper internally, I promise you’ll come away a better coach and leader.
We’ll cover:
- The REAL questions you need to be asking yourself
- Why it’s human (and necessary) to be selfish about certain things
- Ways to identify what you’re lying to yourself and others about
- The difference between experience and exposure and how to train the former
At the end of the day- who you want to be does NOT matter if you haven’t figured out who you are.
It’s that time of year and there are lots of Black Friday sales going on!
- SAGA - the best wireless BFR cuffs on the market are also on major blackfriday sale - 30% OFF (when you USE CODE BLACKFRIDAY30).
- Momentous - for all of your protein and supplement needs, use code BRETT25 for 25% off your first order!
On today’s episode you heard Brett talk extensively about The Apprenticeship. With a full slate of workshops already scheduled for 2022, your excuses for not coming to one are dwindling...
Let’s put it this way- what TRUE leader wouldn’t take the opportunity to get better at communication and the interpersonal side of coaching?
