| 0:00.0 | Oh, hey there friends. A quick reminder, this is your last chance to join Speaker School this year. So if you've ever wanted to become a more confident speaker, get clear on your message and stop over analyzing, getting in your own head, this is your chance. It is May 16th and 17th in Phoenix, Arizona. And across two days, you get the privilege of, or the nightmare of spending time with me, learning how to clarify your message, get out of your own head. We've got people that just want to help narrowing down. two to three best ideas for a talk. We've got people that want to get better at leading a staff meeting, people who want to overcome social anxiety. The bottom line is a huge part of what makes weaker school different is that it is not passive and it is translatable and transferable to so many different aspects of your career. When we get asked, we got asked the first time of what's the ROI here. I said, well, what value do you place on being a clearer communicator and getting your point across? So no, this is not just for folks that want to go out and have a speaking career. This is for anybody who wants to get better at understanding how to take a topic you know a lot about and distill it so that other people can understand it. And that is a core aspect of leadership. So the ROI, well, it can help with job interviews, it can lead to promotions, it can help with leadership ability, it helps with running meetings, it helps improve your professional credibility, relationships, career advancements. These things are proven. Look it up in PubMed, but most importantly folks, it is just good to get into a room with other people who actually want to see you do well. They want to help you. They want to hear what you have to say. And we are included in that as well. We only run it one time a year. That will never change. Why? |
| 2:05.1 | Well, we used to do it multiple times a year. |
| 2:06.8 | The issue is you have people say, |
| 2:08.1 | well, I might come in May. |
| 2:09.3 | No, I'm gonna come in October. |
| 2:10.9 | We used to run it in different places. |
| 2:12.7 | Same thing. |
| 2:13.8 | There are some things that it just is what it is. |
| 2:16.3 | This is run one time a year. |
| 2:18.0 | We will only ever run it at the AOC compound in Phoenix, Arizona. But if you can't do that, you don't like to travel whatever we do have one-to-one mentoring. So you can go to artofcoaching.com slash mentoring and we do one-on-one options that you can utilize via Zoom. Is it the same? No. Is it valuable? Absolutely. Are you going to get a lot of reps and feedback as well? Of course, just with me or another one of our facilitators as opposed to a group. So I would encourage you. I do encourage you to try to get to speak your school because if you're going to want to get better at speaking in front of groups. Well, that's how you need to practice. So again, go to artofcoaching.com, backslash events to find that or any other workshops that we're doing. We also have the non-superficial bullshit conference coming up the first weekend in October. What's that about? I would just ask you this. What is something you're struggling with personally or professionally? Not like unhappy or life's ending, just something that you wish you had more insight on. Like how to scale your business or maybe going out on your own or how to reinvent yourself or how to work better with your spouse. Whatever those things are, that is what we are having speakers come and talk about. How they navigated all the things and are still navigating all the things. They chaos, the indecision, the moments where they didn't think they were really gonna make it, the pivots when they change their career, anything like that. It is open season. We are going to be doing talks around tables |
| 3:50.0 | and informal discussions. So, get there, you me my life. 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. This podcast is for everybody who is fascinated with solving people problems. So if you're in the no-nonsense type who appreciates frank conversations, advise 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. Hey, welcome back to another episode of the podcast. All right. Today we're going to talk about some of my best tips for when you feel behind overwhelmed |
| 5:06.6 | or like you are not doing enough. |
| 5:09.5 | Why am I doing this? |
| 5:10.8 | Well, I know many of you, |
| 5:13.3 | whether you're business owners, coaches, leaders, parents, |
| 5:16.0 | all of the things have really high standards for yourself. |
| 5:19.1 | And it is very easy, |
| 5:20.4 | as if it hasn't been talked about enough |
| 5:23.4 | to feel like in today's world, |
| 5:24.7 | none of us are doing enough. |
