Welcome to the Hardwood Hustle podcast where we know and believe in the value of a coach.

We're here to educate, empower, and encourage you to lead like never before.

In today's episode, we jump into a theme about reading the room.

It is so important as a coach, we have that skill that we are able to read and understand,

to interpret the feel and emotion and energy in the room, and that we know how to respond accordingly based on what

we're witnessing around us. It's a skill that's not often talked about, but when you've been

able to master it, it changes everything. In today's episode, we talk about some nuances and some

strategies to help you as a coach better read the room.

And when you're able to read the room better, it'll allow you to lead and coach better.

So we hope you enjoy today's episode.

We hope you find it helpful.

And without further ado, let's jump in.

TJ, I was scrolling through Twitter recently and Mic Micah Hayes, former guest, who we just had on one of our most recent episodes, posted something that actually stopped me in my tracks.

And it was in light of all the things going on in our world right now. It was right shortly after the George Floyd murder.

And he was commenting on some companies, TJ, promoting products or promoting sales in light

of everything that was going on.

And picture, it was in the heat of all of this, okay?

And he made the comment and he put it in capital letters.

Read the room.

Read the room.

Your product promotion can wait.

It will be there for you on another day.
