Monday Sep 07, 2020
Monday Sep 07, 2020
It can be an incredibly insightful exercise to look for common threads between the different roles we occupy in our lives. What draws us to those vocations and occupations? Does expertise in one lead to skill in another? Listen as our guest Joel Raether uncovers many interesting parallels between his passion for the outdoors, dog training and coaching.
We also cover:

What “flat-landers” get wrong about training at altitude
-
High performance in a sedentary population?

Credibility and capability - do I still need to be deadlifting at 40?
-
“Stop making heroes out of haters!”
Joel is a managing partner of FAST performance in Denver, CO. He’s also the Head of Performance for Colorado Mammoth Lacrosse, the Owner of Hunt Hike Harvest Outdoors, and an Author, Consultant and International Presenter.

E118 | Ben Newman: The Burn
Monday Aug 31, 2020
Monday Aug 31, 2020
Think about the last goal you set. Does it scare you? Is there a possibility you could fail? Today’s guest Ben Newman challenges us all to stop protecting ourselves with our goals and push past self-imposed limits.
Also in this episode:
-
Connecting to your “burn”
-
The 30 day challenge - what are you ACTUALLY capable of?
-
Why we all need a coach
-
Doing “un-required” things to take us to the next level
Ben is a highly regarded performance coach, international speaker and best-selling author. His clients include Fortune 500 companies around the world, business executives, sales organizations and professional athletes in the NFL, PGA, NBA, MLB, UFC and NCAA. He also serves as a Mental Conditioning Coach for the 17-time National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide football team and has worked with players from the last 3 Super Bowl Champion teams.
If your goal is to be a better communicator, add more value to your organization, or secure a financially stable future for you and your family… Take a moment and ask yourself: what are you actually doing to make that happen?
What if we take Ben’s advice, stop protecting ourselves and instead try something new and bold?
Still unsure where to start? We’re here to help. Our online courses Bought In and Valued are a GREAT way to push yourself past where you’ve been before and work toward those difficult but achievable goals.

E117 | Impression Management in Leadership & Life
Thursday Aug 27, 2020
Thursday Aug 27, 2020
The brands we wear, the foods we eat, the people we associate with, the way we act in public… These are all ways we consciously (and often subconsciously) control others’ perception of us.
But we don’t have just one “authentic self” to portray. We are like actors playing many roles, in a constant state of flux depending on our context.
Awareness of this outward expression, or as we like to say, impression management, can help us understand how our public image is tied to our ability to reach desired goals.
On today’s episode we’ll discuss:
-
The reasons for our curated self-presentation
-
The 6 types we exhibit most and why they work
-
How to refine our current impression management strategies
If you made it to the end of the show you know that we have some EXCITING NEWS!
We are now offering virtual communication coaching. From free 30-minute discovery calls to custom coaching plans, we have just what you need to take your communication practices to the next level. So... if you enjoyed this episode and want to go further down the rabbit hole of impression management or want to enhance your communication skills in any way, head to artofcoaching.com/communication for more information!

E112 | Finding and Developing Your Leadership Voice
Monday Aug 10, 2020
Monday Aug 10, 2020
Whether your main struggle is getting your point across in a clear and convincing manner, being able to build buy-in/trust more effectively and authentically, or simply being able to get into the minds of your staff so you can get everyone on the same page…
It all boils down to how we communicate.
Research makes it clear that more effective communicators see faster and longer-lasting progress within their careers. This comes as a byproduct of enhanced clarity, efficiency and ultimately cohesiveness when working with others- as well as being more relatable.
But how can we do this if we feel like we have yet to find our “leadership voice?”
How can those of us who want to be more helpful and useful to others, find a way to be heard and taken more seriously both within the organization we are a part of, and in our personal life?
Today I’m talking about a framework that can not only help you find your leadership voice, but I’m also going to key you in on some research which may help you dictate how you can best shape it depending on the circumstances you encounter.
Download and listen to this episode now to hear the 3 things you need to do in order to develop your leadership voice, and avoid getting lost in the pack amongst your peers.
PS: If you’re the type that craves more hands on guidance and feedback, you may be an excellent fit for our Apprenticeship events which are hosted all over the world. These are intimate events that have featured leaders from more than 20 professions, all of which are focused on improving their communication skills and building a network of trusted professionals. Sign-up here to add more value to your current skill-set!
