In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Dr. Jim Loehr, the founder of Johnson and Johnson's HUMAN PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE and best-selling author. They discuss the rarest of human qualities, courage, its costs, and what life will give you in return for a little courage. The insights shared in this episode deliver some of the most powerful, life-changing challenges for any human being, regardless of their work, profession, life or athletic prowess. Dr. Loehr has coached some of the most elite professionals in sports, athletics, business, military and nonprofits. These are professionals who are so well-trained and high-level that what will give them “an edge” and what will give them a sense of happiness or fulfillment has nothing to do with skill or technique. Instead, this is how to retrain your thinking to become your truest self, resulting in “a seismic shift,” as Jim describes it, in people's lives—from frustration or unhappiness to vibrant happiness and feeling of fulfillment. Loehr's Institute of Performance, his books and success are world-renown. PLEASE NOTE: An unexpected technical issue has forced us to delay posting of this powerful episode.

What a pleasure it was to conduct this fascinating interview with a humble leader, pioneer, and USPTA Hall of Fame recipient, Dr Jack Groppel. Emma has followed Jack's career over the years, watching him present live many times and he has always openly shared his secrets to success. In this episode, Jack talks about the 3 C's (and an extra leadership quality) when it comes to being the best coach you can be. He talks about his early career from studying wildlife biology to those 17 words that one of his professors said, which ultimately changed the direction of his life. He talks about what the business world can learn from sports and how it is important to be humble in your success. Check out some of the highlights below; 1.31: Worst coaching moment: Know when to refer your client to someone else. You can everything to everyone. Sometimes you need to eat humble pie. 2.58: Best coaching moment: Working with Michael Chang - then he goes on to win the French Open three months later. Be humble and be careful what you credit for. Your players still need to execute. 6.56: Sliding Doors: From wildlife biology to having a mentor that believes in you. Dr. Charles Dillman, associate professor of kinesiology, told Jack these 17 words after only one semester that ultimately changed the trajectory of his career: ‘If you really apply yourself, you could become a pioneering leader in the science of tennis performance.' 11.35: What makes a Great Coach? (Connection, Character, and Curiosity) Connection: No one teaches us how to listen - true connection allows for this. Character: Who are you at your core? Why do you coach? Curiosity: What are you deeply curious about? 15.39: Why are more people not curious? Be careful not to get set in your ways and don't just coach the way that you were coached because it worked for you. Find solutions to problems. 17.07: Why do you do what you do? (Do not judge your answer but know your WHY) 18.19: What matters most RIGHT NOW? 20.03: Tennis saved me. 22.00: What can the Corporate world learn from tennis? Focus on the 3 pillars: Physiology - how the brain lights up when you move. (Microbursts) Psychology - What is productive behavior? Nutrition - Food is a drug - how are you eating? 23.55: Agape love - unconditional love (to love thy neighbor in the workplace) Late 80's early 90's - Purpose was important but no one was talking about it. If you were in the workplace prior to 1995 - you were non-contactable. But now we are accessible 24 hours, 7 days, 365 days a year. So who is teaching: Boundaries - how to set boundaries Intentional - how to be intentional with our time Choices - how are you making the right choices 27.19: Conflict can be healthy. Start with what we have in common. 28.39: Work/Life Integration - read the article here: https://www.shrm.org/ResourcesAndTools/hr-topics/employee-relations/Pages/From-WorkLife-Balance-to-WorkLife-Integration.aspx 30.04: Follow John Wooden is considered the greatest NCAA basketball head coach of all time. 31.08: What makes a great leader?

Jack Groppel has been inducted into the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) Hall of Fame. Groppel has been a profound influencer in the world of athletics in sports science. Dr. Jack Groppel is an internationally recognized authority and pioneer in the science of human performance, and an expert in fitness and nutrition. Dr. Groppel is an Adjunct Professor of Management at the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Dr. Groppel is the author of The Corporate Athlete. He developed the Corporate Athlete concept for his training program while serving as an associate professor of kinesiology and bioengineering at the University of Illinois helping both business executives and athletes increase performance levels. In 1992, he combined his program with Dr. Jim Loehr to form the Human Performance Institute, formerly LGE Performance Systems, Inc. A fellow in the American College of Sports Medicine, Dr. Groppel is also a board certified nutritionist in the American College of Nutrition and a former Research Associate to the U.S. Olympic Training Center. He served for 16 years as the Chairman of the National Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association. Sliding Doors Story: Seventeen words — spoken by a UI associate professor of kinesiology — would change Jack Groppel's life in a way even he couldn't imagine at the time. It was the mid-1970s and Groppel, fresh off earning his bachelor's degree in wildlife biology, was about to begin working toward UI degree No. 2, in kinesiology. “Sport science was a relatively young field of study” at the time, he remembers. “I had played tennis at Illinois and loved sport but didn't realize that the study of sport science was even a discipline. “The department head, Dr. Rollin Wright, extended me grace and admitted me into the master of science program. But my greatest memory is of Dr. Charles Dillman, associate professor of kinesiology, telling me these words after only one semester: ‘If you really apply yourself, you could become a pioneering leader in the science of tennis performance.' “That was all it took. “I went straight through my MS degree, studying and writing about tennis science, went to Florida State for my Ph.D., then got hired as the men's tennis coach at Illinois and a professor in kinesiology. I later became the chair of the National Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association, received tenure at Illinois, left tenure at Illinois to start my own business, sold that business to Johnson & Johnson and am now back in higher education at Judson University. “All this because of Dr. Wright's belief in me, and Dr. Dillman's encouraging words on that crisp, windy day in May 1974 in Freer Hall.” Connect with Jack below. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackgroppel/ Related Articles VIDEO: Jack Groppel on 'The Critical Key to Harnessing the Science of Human Performance' FORBES: A sports scientist's Rx for all leaders

There are so many ways to introduce Barbra Schulte. You could start with the incredible work she does coaching riders, helping them develop mental strategies to get the best out of themselves and their horses. Or you could talk about her many outstanding accolades in the cutting horse arena, including her induction in the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2012. But what I love most about Barbra is the warmth, love and kindness she exudes and the way she's shows up in the world. Beyond everything, that is what impresses me the most. I was fortunate to meet Barbra relatively recently, at the Journey On Podcast Summit in November of 2022. Listening to her talk, and then later having conversations with her, I instantly fell in love. I was so thrilled to have her agree to come on the podcast because there were things I wanted to talk about with her that extended beyond her work, her horses and what she teaches. I wanted to hear more about the behind the scenes of her life, about her beautiful son Zane and their story, and what made her tick. Over the course of our conversation we discuss:          Her life growing up with horses, her discovery of the Human Performance Institute and the impact that had on her life and work          Her son Zane, the impact of his life and death, and her journey with the experience of grief          Navigating life with trust and love I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. ❤️ Jane

What can you learn from your students? 4.21: Worst coaching moment: First coaching experience - "I need mentoring and coach education NOW!" 6.12: Sliding Doors: Gradual steps where one job leads to another over time. 8.12: When a high school tennis school sees you pitching in a little league baseball game and you start playing tennis the next day! 9.06: What makes a Great Coach? (Adapt, Listener, and Passionate) Can you adapt, tweak, adjust, and modify when you are under pressure Some folks just want to be heard - turn the feedback into implementation When people can tell that you love what you do, it becomes infectious and that's when you can thrive as a team 11.55: What's working well? What situations are you facing? When you are reflecting on your coaching practice - ask these two simple questions: What went well? What can we do better tomorrow? 10.16: Conflict Resolution Formula - TFFI We Can Fly! The key is to get through the entire formula before the respondent is granted the right to reply. TFFI T – Topic This is the issue. Assume positive intent and check-in first; is this a good time or block out a time to meet. What I want to talk to you about today is… F – Facts What I have observed is, the facts are… F – Feelings This is how I feel, or this made me feel upset, this made me feel really frustrated… I – Impact Here's the impact on the team, organisation, the business… When you get through the first part of TFFI, briefly pause and take a deep breath. It's not easy to have this type of conversation and this is not an opportunity for them to respond. Remember to assume positive intent, show that you care and continue to move through the entire formula before asking them for their reflections. We Can Fly WE: WANT – This is what I want, here are the options, provide some solutions, moving forwards… CAN: CONTRIBUTE – This is where I acknowledge how I have contributed to the situation, and take responsibility for my role in the issue. Note that this is how you take responsibility and acknowledge your contribution to the situation, to really open up some healthy dialogue. FLY: FORWARDS – So moving forwards, this is what I am proposing... I would love to hear your thoughts. 19.58: Carla's high school coach had great morals, ethics, etc - shout out to: John Fry 21.11: Becoming a Coach Developer 25.36: What makes a great leader?

What environment do we want to create? What is our purpose? Why are you here? What can I help you with? 29.30: The most impactful education: Master of Tennis (MOT) from the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) Record yourself coaching - what do you see, hear, feel, and think? 30.35: What's next? 32.08: Advice for coaches who are unsure about the profession? 'Get to know people.' 32.53: What do you look for when recruiting coaches? (Referrals and word of mouth) plus these three qualities: 1) Do you have a history of us working together? (Know the expectations) 2) Are you a good person? Do you have a good personality? 3) Do you have a growth mindset?

From time to time, The Coaching Podcast understands that we all lead busy lives, and sometimes you might have less than 10 minutes in your daily schedule to listen to The Coaching Podcast for inspiration. Therefore, our guest coaches this week are Coach Mick (Chris Michalowski) and Jorge Capestany - performance coaches who walk their talk. With years of coaching experience, these bite-sized interviews, from years ago, still hold true today when we reflect on their responses as to what makes a great coach: Coach Mick (1 min, 50 seconds) - believes that a great coach has passion, compassion and empathy. Coach Capestany (4 mins, 58 seconds) - believes that a great coach can see possibilities, is a lifelong learner and can customize their content to meet the needs of the learner. Emma is very grateful to Jorge and his wife, Coach Marty, for their hospitality of love over the years and for introducing her to Coach Mick during a Polar Vortex in Michigan when they were both speaking at a high school conference. You can learn more about each coach below: Coach Mick, Chris Michalowski, USPTA Elite Professional & USTA High Performance Coach From Coach Mick: My ultimate goal is to get to know you better, but first I will fill you in on who I am, just to break the ice. My name is Chris Michalowski. I am a USPTA Tennis Professional and Director of Tennis at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa (click here to see) in one of the most pristine areas of Northern Michigan. Next to my faith, wife and family, tennis is a passion of mine that I hold dear to since I started playing, seriously anyway, at the age of 13. Tennis really broke me out of my shell and gave me confidence in many different areas of my life. I became a ranked junior player and was one match away from winning a state championship in high school. Three years after I started playing, I started teaching at the Midland Community Tennis Center, in Midland Michigan. It is known as one of the top clubs in the nation and recently, Midland won the “Best Tennis Town” by the United States Tennis Association. I loved to teach and wanted to learn as much as I could about the game (it helped my playing too). I knew that teaching was in my future, but my coach at the time encouraged me to stay in Architecture, my other career consideration , because of the long hours and the toll tennis takes on the body. I was accepted into the University of Cincinnati's architecture program, which was rated very high at the time, but the long hours in the studio kept me from playing and teaching. While at Cincinnati, the Ferris State University coach called and informed me that he wanted me to play on the team and take part in their new Professional Tennis Management program, the first ever, endorsed by the United States Professional Tennis Association. I was all over it. I walked through the doors and from there, never looked back. I was a member of the varsity mens team and when I wasn't hitting, I was absorbing all I could to become the best possible teaching professional that I could be. I am still that way and it drives my wife crazy sometimes. But to be honest, I feel that you can never stop learning and becoming even better at what you love to do. I have remained at the resort for 25 years as the director and was a director in the summertime (for 4 years) at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the Midwest at the time. Two jobs was a lot to handle so I decided to stay here where I feel like I was called to be. Thankfully, I stayed or I would not have met my incredible wife and parent four great kids we have been blessed with. One thing that I will always stand by, just like playing a match, is that when you are up 5-2 in the set, remember how you got there and keep doing the things that got you there in the first place. Don't change your game style at a critical time, especially when you are so close to winning the set The same goes for my outlook on teaching and my career. I still average close to 40 hours a week on the tennis court, manage a staff of 12 teaching professionals/instructors and stay active building tennis in my community with sore knees and all. I love being out there and that is what got me to where I am today, so why change things at 5-2 in the set? Do I consider myself an expert? The industry has said yes, but it is not that simple because tennis has changed over time and keeps advancing in exciting ways. I feel that it is important for teaching professionals, like myself , to stay in tune with sport science, new trends and teaching techniques, technology and new ways of teaching the game so that I can stay on top of “my game.” If I taught the same way I did 20 years ago, things would be very different for me right now and I would not have the opportunities and successes that I have been blessed with. Even as a USPTA Midwest Tester, I still learn something each time we administer the teaching exam to new tennis professionals. So what does all this mean? It means that through the use of technology and my knowledge and relationships that I developed with experts from around the world, I hope to be able to have a relationship with you and help in any way that I can to take your game to the next level.

How do we handle a toxic employee? How long have we noticed their behavior and never addressed it? Is it hard for owners to let someone go that they hired and thought would be a great fit for the team? Dr. Dave Weiman, psychologist, and owner of Weiman Consulting explain the behavioral background of a toxic employee. Every business owner needs to listen to this episode! Key Talking Points Toxic employees- they know other people will pick up their slack and don't care. It is almost impossible to change toxic behavior, but you can almost always change the production level on a positive team player employee. Toxic people have excuses for their behavior Red flags during hiring- behavioral questions, not following instructions in process.  “Tell me about a recent success that you were directly involved in, what happened and why was it successful?” “Can you tell me about a recent professional disappoint and why it didn't go well?” Do they only give themselves credit for success? Do they blame others for disappointment?  You risk other employees leaving because you as an owner, are tolerating toxic behavior 20% at top of business- follow all the rules, self-motivated. 20% at the bottom- unhappy wherever they are, complain, “problem children,” 60% in middle that can be drawn up or down What are people doing outside of work? What do they value? “How do you pick the guys that go on Seal Team Six? Because they're the best of the best of the best.” Graph: On one side (y-axis) is performance. On the other side (x-axis) is trust. A high performance & low trust person is a toxic leader and a toxic team member. Coachability- take in feedback and change, are they giving excuses? Are they missing the impact of the behavior? Do they not think they're the problem?  Are they motivated to change? Be clear about your values, what are the other employees doing to demonstrate those values? It can be hard to let someone go- you picked that person and hired him/her Address issues/concerns immediately- learn why it happened, what can WE do to improve this?

World-renowned performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr has written seventeen books. In his most recent, Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy, Dr Loehr contends that the single most important factor in successful achievement, personally or in business, is the strength of one's character. He has worked with hundreds of world-class performers from sport, business, medicine, law enforcement, as well as the FBI, and has worked one-on-one with seventeen world No. 1's, and strongly contends that character strength can be built in the same way that muscle strength is built—through energy investment. Our most precious resource is energy. Is that still true today? Dr Loehr made the statement that "Energy ignited talent". Where do we find that energy? Does Dr Loehr still believe the Power of Full Engagement is relevant for today's busy lifestyle? In today's corporate world as high performers, are we actually compromising our health and happiness? When Dr Loehr started the Human Performance Institute people said it won't work. Why did he believe it would? What was the narrative in Dr Loehr's mind to help him deal with naysayers? James PennyBaker of the University of Texas in Austin talked about the private voice. What's our private voice? How do we come to a point we can truly believe that we have found a deep private voice? Could it be that we have adopted that private voice or prescription as something informed by our parents? The highest achievers in sport keep a training log. What's the version in the corporate world? Why is writing in cursive writing so powerful? His Dad grew up in Defiance in Shelby County, Iowa. What legacy did he leave for Dr Loehr? Does Dr Loehr wish he had devoted more of his own power of full engagement to his life? Dr Loehr said his Mom had a really successful life, yet she didn't need to be #1. Memento mori - A view as a gravedigger What is Dr Loehr's superpower? What is the actual truth Dr Loehr is looking to share in his book Leading with Character? How big a part does our own personal identity and how we see ourselves, play in creating character? When character flaws are deeply embedded, how do we course correct? What is the most important or profound question we can ask that feeds our character? When Dr Loehr does his own self reflection, where does he feel he has deficiencies?   LINKS   Dr Jim Loehr website https://www.jim-loehr.com   The Mojo Sessions website https://www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions?fan_landing=true   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions/   Gary on Linked in https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle-helping-unlock-great-ideas-b5182011/   Gary on Twitter https://twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/themojosessions/   © 2021 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

Near the end of today’s episode our guest tells us that, “My Purpose is to bring hope to every employee of Johnson & Johnson.” We have no doubt at all he means it—and what makes this even more interesting is that he’s working in an $85 billion enterprise that many see as being one of he very first American brands to publicly commit to Purpose. The company is, of course, Johnson & Johnson, a brand founded in 1886 that develops medical devices, pharmaceutical, and consumer packaged goods, and the individual we’re speaking to about Purpose is its Global Head of Talent Development, Clint Kofford. Today, we’re going to delve into what Clint means by his statement—as well as how Johnson & Johnson’s Purpose statement, its famous Credo, feeds into what he and all of its other 135,000 team members do every day. As you may know the Credo, written in 1932, lays out how, among other things, it is “responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world” and that managers must always strive to “provide an inclusive work environment where each person must be considered as an individual”—but just as importantly, “When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a fair return.” Amazing stuff for 1932; still pretty cool—which is why we knew J&J had to be a big part of Season 7, where we’re working with the smart gals at RedThread Research to understand Purpose in modern American business… and why Clint is convinced the Credo’s more than just a moral compass, but a recipe for business success. And we do, I think, but really through a great dialog with him, not from a line-by-line analysis of any Purpose statement. A senior HR, talent, and leadership development professional with a strong track record of delivering high impact change initiatives, developing talent, and elevating executive capability across a variety of industries and business life-cycles, Clint discusses his career highlights, which include time at Nike and Mars, what led him to living in North Central New Jersey, as well as: his day to day role leading of Johnson & Johnson’s management and leadership development work; what the mechanism is for doing that at the company, the Human Performance Institute, and its roots in sports psychology, and how the Institute is now the new internal J&J ‘brand;' Purpose and L&D and how new personalised career paths are starting to energise the team; how, as a Learning professional, he’s doing what every Learning professional wants—harness the unique talents of everyone in the organisation to bring out the best ; how he thinks Purpose the glue that holds Talent together—but how internal paradigms may need to shift around the status of non-full time employees first; and much more.

This is the first segment of my one and a half hour interview with Coach Mike of the Human Performance Institute here in Orlando Florida. This is the first of 3 segments from the interview, this was a class project when I was studying for my Bachelors of Science degree back in 2013. We covered the history of strength and conditioning from Coach Mike experience back in the early days in the 1980's and 1990's. This was my first interview, and I was extremely excited to get this opportunity  to learn from one of the legends in this industry, which set the tone for my career!

Key Talking Points: Keeping a client for lifeCreating a connection, experience and trust- customers are relying on the shop to help them Kindness can often be repaid in years of loyalty from customer and referrals    Has to be innate value to treat customers a certain way. One of the first things we learn as children is storytelling- challenge then a hero arises. Boil down technician language to simple terms for customers to understand   COVID-19- Has accounted for chronic and acute stress Getting through the pandemic together- recognizing there is a bigger picture involved  Simmering stressing from the pandemic can cause bigger reactions to situations that normally wouldn't have a reaction.  What is the opportunity for me to learn from this? Decipher reactions based on underlying stress due to COVID-19.  Realize there are all different comfort levels people have with being outside of their house right now- shops have continued to be open but many people are just leaving their houses. Have awareness.  Every customer that comes to shop has a problem- they aren’t stopping to say hello- so you're dealing with stressors all day long, even if you have gotten used to it. Implement stress-reducing activities daily- don’t wait until you are maxed out with stress to do something about it.  Oscillation- take regular breaks whether you feel you need them or not. It will help to refocus and re-energize. Breathing exercises while counting, stretching, going for a short walk.    Focus on things you do have control over- circle of concern vs circle of influence and apply stress-relieving techniques based on what stress you currently are experiencing  Normal stress- getting to work, dealing with traffic, paying bills, etc Training stress- learning new techniques, we put ourselves in it or called to do. In the end you will have more knowledge and skills.     Excessive stress- chronic or acute stress GratitudeAcknowledge the people in your life who you are grateful for and let them know specifically why  Every morning take the time to reflect what you are grateful for- 5 minutes  Resources: Thanks to Dr. David Weiman for his contribution to the aftermarket’s premier podcast.

Links: www.performancextra.com/brian-lomax/ Quotes from Episode: “The important thing is to win this match, it’s not to get upset about a mistake that I cannot change.” “There is a notion these days that being a perfectionist is a good thing” ‘That’s what was the major change, focusing on the process, but also figuring out what it (process) was.” “One of the reasons we call mental toughness, you know toughness, is it forces you to make tough choices and one of them is looking at yourself as the reason why things happen.” “If you are blaming things that are outside of your control, then they can never change, and then you can never change.” “If that’s how you feel and think when you’re playing at your best, well why aren’t you working on getting yourself to feel that way?”
