    What drives people to reach out and seek help and how do you as coaches communicate back to them?  Is it with basic communication and standards like "I will write you a program and you'll get an app....etc etc" or do you take the time to dig deep and communicate on a deeper level of connection as to why they are even asking for help in the first place.   I hope you enjoy this episode!

    We often stop ourself from making progress, going after that goal, or achieving the desired outcome we want because we are too concerned or worried about not understanding things fully.  Yes gaining understanding is important when taking action AND we often simply need to get better at taking action itself. Seeking to understand all aspects of sometimes more often then not leads to inaction as it allows for the ability of our mind to talk ourself out of it because what if we don't actually understand all the components.  The most successful individuals don't understand everything, they are simply consistent with taking imperfect action and learning along the way. Start taking action and allow the understanding to occur along the way.  I hope you enjoy this episode!

    It's easy to get comfortable and complacent when progress has been made.  Then what often happens is we wonder why further progress doesn't happen.  We still feel the 'burn' of work but we stop seeing the results we previously got.  This happens because as much as we are still putting in the reps both metaphorically and literally, those reps aren't enough of a stimulus to our brain and body for change to be required.   I hope you enjoy this episode!

    Failure and the fear of failing is so prevalent in society! Everyone is trying so hard NOT to fail.  Thing is, what most need to focus on more, is how to fail safely at first and learn the skills of failure.  Failure can teach us so much if we allow ourself the opportunity to fail and then learn from it.  In this episode I discuss a few conversations I have had lately around failure and how we can practice the art of failure to better ourself and our future.  I hope you enjoy this episode!

    Motivation comes and goes and it is something that I have been asked 1000 times now, 'how do I stay so motivated all the time?'.  The simple answer is I don't.  The key is though that I don't base my life or decisions around whether or not I am motivated.  Remember action builds motivation not the other way around.   I hope you enjoy this episode!
