E400 | The Lost Art of Reaching Out and Rebuilding Genuine Connections
Monday Oct 27, 2025
Monday Oct 27, 2025
You don’t need a reason, a holiday, or the “right time.” Just reach out. Call someone you haven’t talked to in five or ten years. Shoot a text. Reconnect. The longer you wait, the harder it gets, and the truth is, life’s too unpredictable to assume you’ll always get another chance.
This one’s short, direct, and human. No fluff. Just a practical reminder to stop overthinking it and make the damn call. The returns—personally and professionally—are worth it.
🎤 Art of Coaching Live Events
Let’s be honest—most workshops leave you with a notebook full of tips and no real plan for change. Ours are built different.
At Art of Coaching, you won’t just sit and take notes. You’ll engage in real scenarios—role-plays, peer feedback, video breakdowns, and live evaluations—designed to help you sharpen your communication, think on your feet, and handle tough conversations with more clarity and control.
Whether you’re dealing with a passive-aggressive coworker, trying to be more assertive without burning bridges, stuck in tension at home, or just tired of second-guessing yourself socially or professionally—we can help.
This is potent personal and professional development that actually sticks. No fluff. No filler.
We offer multiple pricing tiers and discounts—reach out at info@artofcoaching.com and we’ll help make it work for you.
Upcoming Workshops:
📍 Charlestown, MA – Nov 15‑16 (The Apprenticeship™)
Real Coaching for Real Life
Let’s be honest—everyone says they want growth, but putting in the work? That’s where most people just stick to what’s comfortable..
That’s why we created a mentoring service built for the real world. Whether you’re stuck on a professional decision, starting a business, writing a book, dealing with pressure at home, or just trying to get out of your own way—we can help.
This isn’t therapy. And it’s not a rah-rah, feel-good session either. It’s direct, tailored coaching from people who’ve been in the trenches—leaders, operators, educators, business owners. Our team of 15 comes from a wide range of backgrounds, so you’re matched with someone who understands your world and knows how to push you forward.
Everyone needs a coach.
We’re here when you’re ready.

E392 | B-Side: How to Survive Conversations with People Who Don't Shut Up
Monday Sep 01, 2025
Monday Sep 01, 2025
We’ve all been stuck in conversations that feel like hostage situations. This isn’t about passionate people with good stories — it’s about the chronic monologuers, the one-uppers, and the human foghorns who think “conversation” means “your turn to listen to me, and now your soul is mine.”
In this episode, you’ll get five tactical ways to keep your sanity, stay engaged enough to be polite, and maybe even turn things around. Whether you’re dealing with a talker at work, a relative who never comes up for air, or a stranger who traps you at a party, these strategies will help you handle it without burning bridges — or your patience.

E391 | Why Sometimes Feeling Like Shit Means You're Perfectly Fine
Monday Aug 25, 2025
Monday Aug 25, 2025
There’s a lot of noise out there telling you that if you’re not jumping out of bed every morning with boundless energy, something’s wrong with you.
That’s false. Low-energy days aren’t proof you’re broken — they’re part of being human.
In this episode, we’ll talk about why those days happen, how to stop shaming yourself for them, and simple, low-effort ways to make the day suck less without pretending everything’s perfect.
You’ll learn how to give yourself grace without slipping into complacency, and how to keep moving forward even when you don’t have your best stuff.
