What it takes to lead as a communicator and communicate as a leader.Leadership isn't just about making decisions — it's about how you communicate them. As Matt Abrahams puts it, “Communication is operationalized leadership.”At a recent Me2We event, in connection with Stanford GSB's Executive Education LEAD program, Abrahams held a live discussion with four of the podcast's most popular guests: Celine Teoh, facilitator of the GSB's famous Interpersonal Dynamics course; Huggy Rao, organizational behavior professor and co-author of The Friction Project; legendary Stanford basketball coach Tara VanDerveer; and Dave Dodson, lecturer and author of The Manager's Handbook.In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the panel shares frameworks and lessons for leading and communicating more effectively. From Teoh's five A's for inviting dissent to Rao's warning against “jargon monoxide,” from VanDerveer's relationship-first approach to Dodson's case for leading like a teacher, this conversation explores what it takes to communicate as a leader — and lead as a communicator.Episode Reference Links:Celine TeohTara VanDerveerHuggy RaoHuggy's Book: The Friction ProjectDavid DodsonDavid's Book: The Manager's HandbookEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:18) - Encouraging Dissent (06:40) - The Addition Bias (09:57) - Coaching Through Encouragement (12:12) - Leadership in the AI Era (16:24) - Teaching vs. Managing (17:46) - Making People Feel Appreciated (19:06) - Slowing Down Decisions (21:24) - Listening More (24:24) - Avoiding Jargon (26:31) - Giving Better Feedback (28:53) - Preparing for Communication (29:44) - Using Communication Frameworks (31:15) - Skills for Future Leaders (37:47) - Conclusion

Are you an amateur catcher looking to take your game to the professional level? In this episode of the Back Pick Podcast, we sit down with Mariners catching coach Chase Woollenweber to break down the science of elite catching. From mastering the one-knee setup to training for chaos behind the plate, this conversation is a masterclass in modern catching development. Chase shares his journey from division two baseball to coaching in the Mariners organization. He emphasizes the importance of building trust with players and simplifying complex concepts, especially when working with athletes who speak different languages. We dive deep into why catchers shouldn't just be placed on a knee but must be taught how to move and react from that position effectively to avoid the common mistakes seen in amateur ball. A major focus of this discussion is the idea of training for chaos rather than repeatable solutions. Chase explains how he uses specialized tools like the Traject, e-hack machines, and Marv balls to create unpredictable environments that force catchers to adjust in real-time. We also explore the fine details of glove speed, timing, and how to keep strikes as strikes by adopting a pro-level mindset similar to stars like Patrick Bailey. Finally, we touch on the mechanics of blocking and throwing. Chase explains why accuracy is king and how to use trial and error to find the most effective stance for your individual body type. Whether you are a player, coach, or parent, these insights into professional-level training will change the way you look at the position.

Franchise coach and business consultant Giuseppe Grammatico just returned from a family trip to Japan and he came back with far more than souvenirs. In this unscripted, reflective solo episode of the Franchise Freedom Podcast, Giuseppe shares the surprising business lessons he picked up from Tokyo to Osaka, including:

Blake Schofield works with successful leaders and founders who feel drained, unfulfilled, and like their success doesn't feel the way it should—even though everything looks right on paper.   After 18 years as a top-performing Fortune 500 executive—including turning around a $130M business at Target from –25% sales to positive growth for the first time in over a decade, delivering $7.5M in profit over plan, and building a new division at Stitch Fix to a 75,000-person waitlist in 11 months—she realized something most high performers don't see:   They're not actually solving the root problem—and it's not because something is wrong with them. So they change jobs, start new businesses, go to therapy, hire coaches, or push through… but nothing actually fixes it. Because the issue isn't effort or capability.   Episode Summary:   Blake Schofield spent 18 years climbing the corporate ladder at Fortune 500 companies — leading turnarounds, scaling new divisions, and delivering results most executives only dream of. But behind the impressive résumé was a pattern she couldn't shake: six to nine months of excitement with every new role, followed by burnout, drain, and the nagging feeling that something was still missing.   What she discovered in the years that followed changed everything. The problem wasn't the jobs, the bosses, or the industry — it was misalignment. And after investing over half a million dollars and tens of thousands of hours into understanding why traditional approaches fall short, she developed a framework around three core areas of misalignment that keep talented people stuck.   Key Takeaways:   - Changing jobs doesn't fix misalignment - Your natural wiring is unique - Most of our beliefs were formed before age 7 - Environment matters more than we think - Asking for help is a strength - Trust the unsettled feeling   Episode Chapters:   [00:00:00] — Cold Open: The Power of Beliefs  [00:00:48] — What You'll Learn Today [00:01:08] — Welcome & Guest Introduction [00:02:22] — Blake's Story: From Psychology to Corporate to Burnout [00:05:03] — The Breaking Point at Stitch Fix [00:07:30] — The Misalignment Framework: Why the Same Cycles Keep Repeating [00:10:41] — Misalignment #1: How You're Naturally Wired to Thrive [00:14:59] — Misalignment #2: Beliefs and Conditioning [00:17:37] — Shining the Mirror: Blake's Coaching Philosophy [00:19:11] — Misalignment #3: Environment [00:20:53] — Who Blake Works With [00:21:20] — What Inspires Blake [00:23:31] — Blake's Podcast: Impact with Ease [00:25:39] — The Entrepreneurship Wake-Up Call [00:29:35] — Final Takeaways from Blake [00:30:52] — Outro & Show Close

"Environment is the invisible coach. It's the thing that's working when you're not talking." "You can have the best program in the world, but if the energy in the room is dead, the results are going to be dead too." "Most people coach how they were coached or how they were successful as athletes. And that's usually the worst thing you can do for the person in front of you." "Mastery is not about knowing more things. It's about knowing the same things at a much deeper level and understanding how they all connect." "We have to stop looking at training as just sets and reps and start looking at it as a way to manipulate the environment to get the result we want." "If you can't get the athlete to buy into the process, the science behind the program doesn't matter. You have to win the person before you can train the athlete." About Mike Guadango Mike Guadango is a performance coach and founder of Freak Strength, known for developing athletes from youth to the professional level, including competitors in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and Olympic sport. A former All-American collegiate baseball player, Guadango transitioned early into coaching, where he trained under respected figures such as Buddy Morris and James Smith. He has served as a Director of Sports Performance at a high-level training facility and brings a holistic approach shaped by experience in both strength and conditioning and manual therapy, including work as a licensed acupuncturist.

Tate Along with Darren Joines, the Associate Athletics Director at Franklin Christian Academy (FCA), introduces two-time state champion David Pack as the school's new head football coach. Pack, who has been away from coaching for 14 years, discusses his return to the sidelines, his coaching philosophy, and the growth of the FCA athletic program. The Return of David Pack The Hiring Process: Darren Joines immediately thought of David Pack for the position after former coach Casey Jorgenson departed following a successful 6-4 season. A New Chapter: Pack had not actively looked to return to coaching for a decade, but he felt an "itch" to return over the last couple of years while watching games from a competitive perspective. Leadership Alignment: Pack expressed high regard for FCA's leadership, including Joines, Director of Student Life Tim Johnson, and Head of School Noah Brink, noting that the environment felt "safe" and visionary. Familiar Energy: Pack compared the current energy and stage of development at FCA to his early days at Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) in 1996. Coaching Philosophy and Legacy The "GOAT" Mentality: The participants discussed coaching legends, specifically naming Carlton Flatt of Brentwood Academy as the greatest of all time. Pack worked under Flatt for nine years before building the program at CPA. Physicality on the Field: Pack emphasized that his teams will be defined by physicality and contact, a trait he believes defines the nature of football. Multi-Sport Participation: Both Joines and Pack strongly advocate for multi-sport athletes. They argued that specialization leads to burnout and "adult-type" injuries in young athletes, whereas playing multiple sports refreshes a student's zeal for competition. Building from Scratch: Pack is excited by the lack of traditional infrastructure at FCA—such as a stadium or weight room—viewing it as an opportunity to build a legacy from the ground up, similar to the beginnings of local powerhouse programs. Character and Community Mission-Tethered: Pack stated that the program will remain focused on its mission of spiritual development and authenticity, aiming to be a "beacon" of hope in sports culture. Family Support: Pack highlighted the importance of his family's support, noting that his wife, Anne, and daughters were instrumental in his decision to return to the coaching profession.

This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, Richard Graves is joined by Brian Roy, a strength and conditioning coach who has spent the past decade working at the sharp end of action and lifestyle sports, including Olympic BMX Freestyle. BMX Freestyle is still a relative newcomer to the Olympic programme, but its physical demands, injury risks and performance challenges are unlike almost any traditional sport. In this episode, Brian shares his unconventional journey into elite sport, from personal training and postgraduate study to travelling the world with BMX athletes on the global stage. Together, Richard and Brian explore what it really takes to prepare athletes for a sport defined by explosive power, aerial skill, high-impact landings and constant travel. Brian offers a refreshingly honest perspective on athlete buy-in, bespoke programming, and why traditional strength testing and rigid systems don't always transfer to non-traditional sports. This is a fascinating conversation for sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, and anyone interested in how performance support adapts when the sport doesn't fit neatly into a textbook. In this episode you will learn * The unique physiological and biomechanical demands of BMX Freestyle competition * How to prepare athletes for repeated 60-second, maximal-effort runs across a full competition day * Why traditional strength testing and gym-based metrics don't always translate to action sports * How Brian adapted training around constant travel, limited gym access, and athlete preferences * Practical strategies for building resilience and reducing injury risk in high-impact sports * Why athlete buy-in often comes from listening, adapting, and being present rather than enforcing systems * How emerging video and motion-analysis technology could shape the future of training in BMX Freestyle and similar sports About Brian Roy Brian Roy is a strength and conditioning coach with over 10 years' experience working in action and lifestyle sports. He holds a Master's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science and is currently undertaking further postgraduate study in Applied Sports Science Analytics. Brian has worked closely with elite BMX Freestyle athletes on the international stage, including those competing at the Olympic Games, and has developed a reputation for adaptable, athlete-centred training approaches. His work focuses on performance, resilience, and real-world transfer rather than rigid adherence to traditional testing models. Brian regularly shares insights from his work on LinkedIn and Instagram, where he discusses training philosophy, emerging technology, and lessons learned from working in non-traditional sports environments.

https://teachhoops.com/ In Part 2 of this deep dive, Coach Collins moves from identity into system-building. If Episode 1 was about who you are, this one is about how you translate that into an on-court product. We talk pace, play style, offensive identity, defensive purpose, and how to make sure all of it works together instead of fighting itself. Many coaches run too many offenses, too many sets, or too many defensive packages. Coach Collins explains the danger of being “multiple without mastery.” Whether you lean toward motion, sets, pressure defense, or pack-line principles, the key is committing to something and rep-repping it until your players own it. One of the most important ideas in this episode is alignment. If you play fast, practice must move fast. If you want elite transition defense, you can't send four to the offensive glass every possession. If you grind offensively but press defensively, your systems may be working against each other. Alignment is what makes your philosophy feel coherent. The episode wraps with a practical roadmap coaches can use today—how to take notes, organize ideas, build a playbook over time, and refine your standards year after year. A true coaching philosophy isn't built in a weekend. It grows as you grow. This episode shows you how to build one the right way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

https://teachhoops.com/ Building a positive team culture starts long before the first tip-off; it begins with clearly defined core values and non-negotiable standards. A positive culture is not accidental—it is intentional. Coaches must establish a framework where "we" always supersedes "me." This involves defining roles explicitly so every player, from the leading scorer to the last player on the bench, understands their value to the collective mission. When players feel seen and valued, buy-in increases. This foundation is strengthened by a coach who models the desired behavior; you cannot demand selflessness and composure if you are selfish and erratic on the sidelines. Consistency in how you treat your star player versus your role players sets the tone for the entire program. Trust and connection are the glue that holds a positive team together when things go wrong. You must actively engineer opportunities for players to bond beyond the court. This can be as simple as "team meals" or as structured as "partner interviews" where teammates share their life stories to build empathy. On the court, implement "appreciation" drills where players are required to high-five or verbally acknowledge a teammate after every play. This creates a habit of support that overrides the natural instinct to blame others during stressful game moments. When players genuinely care about each other, they play harder for each other, and the fear of making mistakes is replaced by the confidence that their teammates have their back. Finally, a positive culture requires constant maintenance through positive reinforcement and honest communication. It is easy to be positive when winning, but the true test is after a loss. A coach must separate the performance from the person, critiquing the execution without attacking the player's character. Celebrate the "unseen" plays—deflections, screen assists, and bench energy—just as loudly as the points scored. Furthermore, address conflict immediately and privately; do not let resentment fester. By creating an environment of psychological safety where players are allowed to fail without fear of being shamed, you unlock their ability to play free, aggressive, and winning basketball.
