https://teachhoops.com/ The top skill for a basketball coach at practice is arguably Observation and Adaptability. A great coach possesses the keen ability to constantly observe everything happening on the court: individual player body language, effort levels, understanding of concepts, execution of drills, and overall team chemistry. This continuous observation goes beyond just watching; it involves actively diagnosing issues, identifying areas for improvement, and recognizing strengths. Crucially, mere observation is not enough; the coach must then be adaptable enough to immediately adjust their practice plan, modify drills, provide targeted feedback, or change the focus based on what they are seeing. This dynamic ability to assess and react ensures that every minute of practice is optimized for learning and development, preventing wasted time and addressing issues as they arise rather than letting them fester.

You've created your goals for the year, you have everything planned out. You know when all of your items need to be completed. But you don't seem to be making any progress. You cannot reach these goals. Life throws up unexpected items to derail your plan.What if you were given permission to adapt, to adjust your plan? This afternoon, our well‑crafted episode plan took a rain check—because life and capacity have their own ideas sometimes. Today, I (Rob Kelly) am stepping in behind the mic, not as backup, but as a real‑time model of adaptability in action. No fluff. No script. Just transparency about when the plan meets reality. In this episode, I cover:Capacity breakdown: how breaking goals into tasks, estimating time, and weekly blocking reveals where we've overscheduled ourselves.The pivot moment: despite a capacity-matched plan, today we needed an adjustment—and that became a strategic move.Strategy vs. rigidity: why adaptability matters more than blindly sticking to a plan.Frozen 2 moment: “the next right thing” is more than a quote—it's a survival (and success) tool.Invitation to listeners: permission to pause, pivot, and make the next right move.Tune in to Learn what happens when vision collides with weekly reality.Your Homework:Read the Signals: Notice if tasks consistently don't get completed due to a lack of time - this is an intentional checkpoint, not a sign you're behind.Give Yourself Permission: Even capacity-aligned plans can shift—and that's strategic, not shameful.Choose the Next Right Step: When overwhelmed, clarity trumps chaos. One step is all you need to move forward.
Hey there! Welcome the the LDS Mission Podcast and to episode 213 - Navigating Tough Dynamics. Have you ever caught yourself labeling something as a problem—and suddenly it feels heavy, urgent, or unsolvable? In this episode, I share a powerful mindset shift that has helped me and so many missionaries I work with: what if it's not a problem... it's just a dynamic? Whether you're a missionary adjusting to a new transfer, a returned missionary navigating post-mission life, or a missionary mom experiencing a new phase of parenting, we all face tough dynamics that feel sticky or uncertain. This idea was inspired by a conversation with my daughter as she prepares to be the only child at home. Her tears, her worries, and her sadness reminded me how deeply our brains want to flag change as something scary. But viewing it as a dynamic—a situation in motion that we're learning to navigate—can create flexibility, empowerment, and grace for ourselves. I hope this episode helps you reframe some of the experiences you're having on the mission or in your life right now. Let's stop running into mental walls and start riding the waves of change. You were built for this. I believe in you. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

Business Coaching Secrets - Episode 305 Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into what it really takes to build, sustain, and scale a thriving business coaching practice. The duo tackles foundational business concepts, industry mistakes, the true meaning of “why,” actionable hacks for goal setting, and demystifies financial jargon like EBITDA. Real-world stories, sharp insights, and actionable frameworks pepper the episode, making it essential listening for both new and experienced coaches ready to level up. Key Topics Covered From Stuff to Investments: Reframing Business Decisions Karl Bryan discusses the importance of transitioning from a consumer mindset (buying stuff) to an investor mindset, stressing that tax systems are designed to reward investment, not consumption. He urges coaches to build leverage by creating business assets—processes, checklists, sales tools—rather than endless, unproductive “to-do” lists. The Checklist Principle—Why It Matters Drawing parallels from aviation safety and the medical field, Karl demonstrates how a simple checklist can prevent disasters and streamline operations. He advocates every coach should adopt the checklist mentality for lead generation, demonstrations, and client delivery. Clarity Over Certainty—Common Coaching Industry Mistakes Karl challenges the coaching world's obsession with “certainty,” arguing that adaptability and assertiveness—not rigid certainty—are the real traits of thriving entrepreneurs and coaches. He emphasizes action over perfection, quoting successful entrepreneurs who act on partial information and adjust rapidly. Demystifying EBITDA and the Language of Business Karl breaks down EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization), explaining why this metric is used and its limitations in real-world small business scenarios. He urges coaches to focus on learning to read financials—calling it the ultimate “cheat sheet” for delivering value and driving a business forward. Goal Setting Hacks—The Sniper Approach For effective goal achievement, Karl recommends setting hyper-clear targets with “sniper-like” focus, obsessing over them, and ruling out distractions. He explains why wishy-washy goals lead to lackluster results and shares tactics to maintain relentless clarity. Finding and Using Your ‘Why' The episode revisits the importance of purpose (drawing from Simon Sinek's famous TED Talk), offering coaches a framework to discover their own “why” via their three most painful life experiences. Karl details how this “North Star” approach powers authentic connection, standout marketing, and fierce client loyalty. Notable Quotes “Don't create a to-do list. Create a ‘to-build' list.” – Karl Bryan “Needing nothing attracts everything.” – Karl Bryan “It's not the strongest that survive… It's the most adaptable.” – Karl Bryan “If your goal is wishy-washy, your results will be wishy-washy.” – Karl Bryan “Wealth follows people with clear intentions—and wealth and options go hand in hand.” – Karl Bryan “Your story is what will move people… Your ‘why' is the difference between you and every other business coach.” – Rode Dog Actionable Takeaways • Shift From Consuming to Investing: Ask yourself, “Are you buying stuff, or are you building and investing in long-term assets?” • Build Leverage With Checklists: Create checklists for every major aspect of your coaching business—client acquisition, delivery, demonstration, and more—to reduce errors and increase consistency. • Emphasize Adaptability Over Certainty: Stay flexible, assertively seek solutions, and avoid perfection paralysis. Progress and confidence beat static “certainty.” • Master Financial Fluency: Learn to read and interpret financial statements—this is a critical edge and a “cheat code” for deep, transformational coaching. • Set Clear, Obsession-Worthy Goals: Define your outcomes with sniper accuracy. Eliminate distractions and say “no” to anything that doesn't move you forward. • Surface and Share Your ‘Why': Identify your core motivation by unpacking your pivotal life moments. Let this story fuel your messaging, deepen relationships, and increase client stickiness.

Through real-world examples and insights, they unpack the psychology behind adaptability, trust, and long-term potential in business and sales leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] The Misconception About Adaptability – Many professionals mistakenly see adaptability as a weakness rather than a strength[00:01:28] The Evolution of Career Mobility – Job-hopping is no longer a red flag but an expectation in today's job market[00:02:39] Trust, Micromanagement, and Coaching Resistance – Leaders should examine the deeper reasons behind employee concerns about trust.[00:03:44] The Fear of Change and Growth – Some individuals resist coaching because they fear exposing what they don't know.[00:04:07] The Link Between Coachability and Adaptability – Success depends on both being coachable and having the courage to act on feedback.[00:04:58] The Ceiling Effect in Performance – Those who resist change often never reach their full potential[00:05:25] Curiosity as a Key to Growth – A lack of adaptability often correlates with a lack of curiosity[00:06:47] Recognizing and Managing Resistance in Employees – Leaders must understand when an employee's resistance to change is really about their comfort zone.QUOTES[00:02:17] "It's not a problem not to know, but it is a crime punishable by death not to do anything about it and not to ask."}[00:04:07] "Coachability and adaptability go together—you have to be coachable first, then courageous enough to change."[00:04:58] "The best performers never protect their current level—they always push for what's next."[00:05:25] "Curiosity and adaptability are deeply connected—those unwilling to ask ‘what if' often resist growth."[00:06:09] "When employees pull the ‘trust card,' it's often their last resort to avoid change."Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/the-importance-of-recruiting-behavioral-traits-with-chaz-maclaughlinEnjoying the podcast?

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm joined by Joe Miles, and we cover a lot of ground—from the whitetail woods to the African bush. Joe and I get into that constant tug-of-war between old-school hunting instincts and the rapid rise of modern gear and technology. We talk about where tradition still matters, where innovation is helping, and how to walk the line between the two without losing your edge. Joe also shares the story of his recent leopard hunt in Africa, and if you've ever wanted a firsthand account of just how unpredictable and intense a hunt like that can be, you'll want to hear this. We dive into what that kind of experience teaches you—not just about hunting, but about patience, respect for the animal, and how little control we actually have when we step into the wild. We also hit on business, teamwork, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who can handle adversity—whether that's in the boardroom or fifteen yards from a blind with your heart in your throat. It's a conversation about risk, reward, and the things that keep us coming back to this lifestyle, season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 447 Adaptability is key—hunting strategies must shift with changing conditions. Cell cams and tech are tools, not crutches, when used with discipline. Old-school woodsmanship still matters in a high-tech world. Evolving gear can boost success but doesn't replace skill or instinct. Every terrain brings new challenges—African leopard hunts included. Wildlife is unpredictable, and that's what makes the chase worth it.
