The Art Of Coaching Brett Bartholomew

“How can I do this better?” 
Tackling large projects, like writing a book, can be incredibly daunting. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by your own ideas. How can we overcome this and get our thoughts onto paper? What tools or applications can help us stay organized and productive while assembling our project or book?
In this episode we discuss:
Why your workspace setup NEEDS to reflect your process
Tools for capturing thoughts and ideas to convert into content 
Integrating word mapping into your creative ecosystem
Transitioning from harvester to producer through accountability

We’ve heard it all before. Whether in sports or business, high achievers think differently than we do. 
They’ve developed an internal flow chart for solving problems and regulating their emotions, creating a winning machine.
Is this really how they do it? What tips can we pull from the ever-expanding mental performance world to improve our performance without falling into gimmicks and wasting time?
Today’s guest has not only walked the walk, but has done it at the highest level. Her name is Priscilla Tallman and she’s a Mental Performance Consultant who holds a Masters’ Degree in Clinical Psychology and has authored two nationally published performance journals that feature essential tools for athletes, coaches, and leaders. Priscilla began her journey as an athlete, playing volleyball at the University of Georgia where she earned numerous accolades including SEC Freshman of the Year, SEC Player of the Year, and was inducted into UGA’s Circle of Honor.  She was also a member of the USA National Team and the World University Games Team.
In today’s conversation we discuss:
How to confront the guilt and shame of failing to meet our own standards
What it takes to earn someone’s genuine trust
Strategies to employ when your best self starts to slip
The benefits of integrating suppressed parts of your personality
We’d like to thank Priscilla for joining us on today’s show.  Visit her website priscillatallman.com to learn more about her and what she can do to improve your performance.  You can also follow her on Instagram @spikedr3, and pick up any of her journals here.

That spun out of control.  I don’t think they quite understand.  Would things have turned out different if I had approached it another way?
Have you ever felt like that after an interaction?  None of us are perfect communicators, so chances are that you have.  It is extremely frustrating when things go wrong, especially when we have the knowledge and think we are adequately prepared to handle it. 
In order to own the moment, you need to understand:
Why not all practice is the same and what elements to include to improve transferability
The role contextual interference plays and how to account for it 
How to lean into constraints and leverage them for growth
What to do if you get stuck and how social scrimmaging can save you

Everything has turned into a debate.  No matter the topic, everyone seems to have an opinion.  Don’t feel left out…you’re included!  So are your co-workers, friends, neighbors, and ESPECIALLY your family and loved ones.  
Getting into an argument with anyone is hard, but it becomes increasingly difficult when they brush off your points, spin the facts, or change the subject altogether.  Imagery of a bull and matador come to mind.  This episode will give you a deeper understanding of why people deflect or misdirect, and how to get rid of the red cape and hidden sword in exchange for improved relationships and personal growth.
In today’s show, we discuss:
The psychological reasons people resort to using deflective tactics
How trying to “save face” can backfire and widen the gap to conflict resolution
Accountability and how dealing with our own demons leads to growth
Scripts you can use if you’re overwhelmed and need to buy time to process and respond

E313: How To Communicate With Someone Who Shuts Down Or Stonewalls

Imagine what it takes to reach the pinnacle of any profession. We’re not just talking about the top 5-10%, but fractions of that. Now add that this business is composed of the largest, fastest, and most explosive athletes on the planet, competing in a collision sport where success and failure are determined in split seconds. Oh, did we mention that millions of dollars are on the line?
Today, we are joined by someone who was not just a part of that elite club but reached the highest highs—from the trenches. In the 1st Round of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Dontari Poe with the 11th overall pick. Over the next nine seasons, Poe became an All-Pro Defensive Lineman, wreaking havoc on backfields across the league. His journey began long before he became a pro, and today he shares some timeless and invaluable lessons he learned along the way. This show is like our workshops: uncut, uncensored, and 100% real. PARENTAL ADVISORY for a few instances of coarse language.
In this episode, we discuss:
The truth about mental toughness, common myths, and how to cut through the BS
How to avoid letting our environment dictate who we become
The importance of setting boundaries when helping others
What it takes to ensure we’re at our best in our biggest moments
We want to thank Dontari for joining us and answering one of our listener’s questions. If you have something you’d like us to address on a future podcast, please let us know!  You can reach us directly at info@artofcoaching.com or submit your questions HERE.
