Summary

It’s been a long three months, but we are excited to announce that our Apprenticeship™ events are BACK! Starting July 25-26th in Charleston, SC., join us for a transformative learning experience. Don’t believe me? Maybe today’s episode will change your mind. Looking back, did you know what was going to happen to you today? How about the last 72 hours? 3 months? Chances are you had no idea. That’s because everything we do in life is improv. No, not the improv that you pay to see at a comedy club… improv as in role playing under situational constraints. Today’s episode is one we all need because let’s face it, right now we are all improvising. We are all having to adapt to certain constraints. So let’s dig into how to be agile and leverage spontaneity to overcome our old systematized, controlled processes. Today’s episode goes into: The origins and definitions of improv How other fields use improvisation training and why coaching needs something similar The real reason we are scared to engage in improvised learning/practice Principles of improvisation: spontaneity, collaboration, boundaries, etc. "Improv is a process not a product" If this episode is at all intriguing, you’ll LOVE our Apprenticeship™ workshop.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Coaching Podcast, a show aimed at getting to the core of what
0:10.5	it takes to change attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes in the weight room, board room,
0:15.4	classroom, and everywhere in between.
0:17.9	I'm your host, Brett Bartholmue.
0:19.3	I'm a performance coach, keynote speaker, and the author of the book, Conscious Coaching.
0:24.1	But most importantly, I'm a lifelong student interested in all aspects of human behavior and communication. I want to
0:30.5	thank you for joining me. And now let's dive into today's episode.
0:38.0	How many of you listening right now woke up and knew every interaction that was going to take place. I mean, you knew exactly who you were going to speak to, what they were going to say,
0:49.4	how they were going to behave, how you were going to respond, everything.
0:54.6	How many of you, the last time you got in your vehicle, knew exactly what was going to happen

1:05.7	tail lights? How many of you knew exactly how you were going to react to everything that happened to
1:11.8	you in the past 72 hours? How about the past three months? How many of you knew about COVID-19? And
1:19.7	that was coming. How many of you knew about investments? What about a plane that was delayed in the last five years? The point I'm making here and why it's so critical that we understand this within respect to
1:32.0	today's episode is that life is improvised. Everything we do, none of us can predict the future, even if
1:40.6	we get it lucky from time to time, nobody knows exactly everything that is going to go on.
1:46.0	That's just not reality.
1:47.8	And not only is it not reality in life,
1:49.9	it's certainly not the reality in leadership.
1:53.4	Or coaching, and we use the two synonymously here.
1:57.0	And that's exactly what today's episode is about.
2:00.1	Improv as leadership in coaching.
