Summary

“True genius, in strategy or anywhere, lies in self-control, self-mastery, presence of mind, and fluidity of thought.” - Robert Greene When it comes to the study of human nature, power dynamics and social intelligence, there’s perhaps no one more knowledgeable than Robert Greene. Collectively, his 7 (soon to be 8) books have sold more than 20 million copies, and along the way he’s consulted countless world leaders, athletes, politicians and celebrities. By scouring human history to understand patterns of behavior, he’s developed the unique ability to take incredibly complex and rich subject matter and whittle it down to key learnings that are relatable, tactical and applicable. In this interview, we ask Robert what role communication, self-awareness and social intelligence played in not only his own life but also the historical figures he has dedicated his life to studying. We cover: Tips for navigating the messiness of the human condition Behind the scenes of his new book, The Law of The Sublime Applying higher level strategy in sports and business The critical communication skill every coach must prioritize How our obsession with technology impacts our communication Connect with Robert Greene: Via his website / buy his books: https://www.robertgreene.co/ Via his social media: https://linktr.ee/Robertgreene In this episode, you heard Brett and Robert talk about our live 2 day communication workshop - The Apprenticeship.

0:11.8	Welcome to the Art of Coaching Podcast.
0:13.7	I'm Brett Bartholomew and at a young age, poor communication nearly calls me my life.
0:18.9	Now I help others navigate the great area of social interaction, power dynamics, and communication so they can become more adaptable leaders regardless of their profession, age or situation.
0:30.8	This podcast is for everybody who is fascinated with solving people problems.
0:36.2	So if you're in the no nonsense type who appreciates frank conversations, advice you can put to use immediately and learning how others navigate the messy realities of leadership, you're in the right place. I'm glad that you're joining us. Let's dive in.
0:58.3	Thanks for joining me for another episode of the podcast. Today we are doing something special.
1:02.7	As I alluded to in our previous episode, for the first time ever, we are doing a replay. Now, this isn't because we're resting on
1:09.8	our laurels. It's because of your feedback. Many of you reached out and said, Hey, if I
1:15.2	was listening to the podcast today, there are some episodes that I really liked that I
1:19.3	would want you to put on my radar. Would you ever consider doing a replay? Now, me being how I am, and I think

1:49.1	Now, today's conversation was with Robert Green. And if you don't know, Robert,
1:52.9	he is the author of the New York Times best sellers, the 48 laws of power, the art of
1:57.7	seduction, the 33 strategies of war, the 50th law, mastery, the laws of human nature, and the daily laws.
2:05.6	And what drew me to Robert early on in my life
