Podcasts about program design

Coach Rob Jacobs on Program Design: Assessments, Nervous System State, and Making Training Actually StickTim Caron hosts Coach Rob Jacobs on the Performance Health Podcast to discuss what makes a “good program,” emphasizing the importance of selecting the right inputs to achieve the desired outputs. Rob outlines his programming workflow: starting with a neural performance map questionnaire to gauge motivation and nervous system stress, followed by a biomechanical assessment that directly informs exercise selection, splits, and cycle design, then narrowing ideals to practical constraints before later adding blood work. They unpack how to interpret failed table tests, when to temporarily correct limitations, and why changes must be reinforced with deliberate strengthening at high frequency. Rob explains balancing timelines, fixing key limiting factors, progressing load/sets/intensity, using consolidation or deload strategies when performance drops, and evaluating effectiveness through phase-to-phase testing and exercise sequencing. 00:00 Show Intro and Resources01:07 Rob Programming Workflow01:25 Assessments That Drive Training03:38 Interpreting Failed Tests07:03 Quick Fixes vs Lasting Change11:21 Unilateral Blocks and Timelines15:19 Balancing Goals and Constraints16:47 Case Study Fix the Weak Link20:15 Progress Tracking and Adjustments23:00 Load vs Intensity Explained24:44 Tracking Load Variables25:49 When Progress Stalls26:51 Consolidation Week Tactics28:23 Sending Athletes Home29:23 Avoiding Coach Bias31:17 Using Data To Pivot33:10 Modifying Hepburn Method35:00 Diagnosing Volume Vs Intensity38:04 Exercise Variation Strategy38:54 Measuring Program Effectiveness40:48 Testing GPP To SPP Carryover43:34 Realistic Progress Expectations44:23 Course Updates And Wrap Up

Across the nonprofit arts sector, national regranting programs are ending and institutional infrastructures are shrinking as philanthropy resets how it supports the field. In this moment of contraction and uncertainty, institutions can no longer afford to remain unprepared to work with artists on structural design. The Dance/USA Fellowships to Artists program (DFA) became one attempt to learn how.   In this episode, Haowen Wang of Dance/USA joins artists Laurel Lawson and Peter Rockford Espiritu (Tau), and curator Michèle Steinwald to reflect on eight years of responsive design through DFA. Together, they examine moments of rupture, redesign, and learning, and share lessons about what it takes for institutions to reposition themselves so artists can lead.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Looking after each other means moving past the number of people we know of to fostering deep, genuine connections with our more immediate circle - it's about "quality over quantity". Going 'beyond you' requires a mental edge that refuses to let excuses take hold in your mind. Growing beyond your current self and circumstances takes a focussed mindset and acceptiong the daily discipline that will be required to achieve what you want without resenting the lifestyle you need to adopt to achieve it. Lasting legacy is built by rejecting the status quo and defining success on your own terms, each and every day.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Rohan is in his final year of high school and the 2026 School Captain at Box Hill High School in Melbourne, Australia, as well as a competitive long-distance runner and running coach.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to creating impact beyond you is to make your story referrable - letting it go and putting it into the hands of others. Making space for others to be part of creating, shaping and sharing the story that you feel so connected to is essential, but often the most challenging. If you're not articulating your story simply and clearly, others are never going to be able to share it with others. Repetition - consistently, frequently and over time - is what it takes to build both your storytelling muscle as well as a set of impactful 'back-pocket' stories that are resonant, relevant and referrable time and time again.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Talk is fundamental to human interaction, talk is inherently purposeful. There are ways of talking, and we all have them - some voices come harder to some people than others but there's no reason why we can't do them all. When meetings are viewed as chapters within a broader issue, it assists in dissecting the problem and engaging all participants in sharing their viewpoints.  "To act wisely actually is to take responsibility for our own actions and their impacts on others" -  Alan Robertson     RESOURCES MENTIONED: On the Front Line: The Collected Journalism of Marie Colvin https://www.amazon.co.uk/Front-Line-Collected-Journalism-2012-04-26/dp/B01K3IQ44E   An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anthropologist-Mars-Oliver-Sacks/dp/0330343475         ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alan Robertson has committed his working life to facilitating personal, interpersonal and organisational development.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Our brain acts as a filter that shapes our experience.  Behavior - our interactions and actions - shapes our sense of belonging and embeds our beliefs. It is not just about what we are listening for in other people; it's about where we are listening from ie. Our own perspective, experiences and beliefs. The shift in moving beyond our own intentions to imagine something bigger than ourselves begins in understanding what it is about how we show up that galvanizes others into particular ways of being and action.   ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Television is about credibility, building expertise, building authority, and yes, it comes but it takes consistency. We have to have an athlete's mindset, we have to be open to coaching and really growth oriented and understand that we don't know everything. Speed of implementation, creative problem solving, and quick decision making are the distinguishing factors between extremely successful entrepreneurs and the ones who don't quite cut it.  The cure to overwhelm is to tackle one thing at a time. Set your priorities, break them into bite sized chunks and take action today.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Jen Gaudet - serial entrepreneur, investor, TV show host, international speaker and international best-selling author - is on a personal mission to impact 1 million entrepreneurs to reclaim time and energy while maximizing their impact (profit) by becoming the CEO of their businesses and their lives.     On her TV show, Jen brings insightful discussions about the truth behind the business through high impact guests, sharing the valuable lessons learned, shortening the path to success for other small business owners to maximize the positive impact in our world.   For coaching, mentoring, TV interview or more information, contact Jen at https://jengaudetcoaching.com CONNECT WITH JEN GAUDET:   Jen Gaudet website – https://jengaudetcoaching.com   FREE live business coaching workshop: https://jengaudetcoaching.com/free-workshop/   CEO Mondays Mastermind Live registration: https://p.bttr.to/3x3R0hM   CEO Mondays Mastermind On Demand: https://p.bttr.to/3uKJ04k   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jengaudetcoaching   Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-gaudet-324a25138   Youtube: http://bit.ly/JGCSyoutube   Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/power-ceos-with-jen-gaudet/id1589974680   TVshow: https://nowmedia.tv/ceomondays/   Over My Dead Body: the Art of Saying No – A step by step journey towards boundaries that stick Paperback Book: https://www.amazon.com/Over-My-Dead-Body-Boundaries/dp/1689832444/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.     KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Leadership is about listening to others, creating safe spaces to have conversations and connecting together to agree on a shared vision and make a bigger impact. When you are in the service of others, and helping them to grow and be at their best, you need to make sure that you are also being your best. Listen for understanding, appreciate what works and acknowledge what you're seeing and experiencing every day. More and more, we need to invest in active learning strategies and this requires humility - the willingness to listen and to do more than  learn about each other but to learn from each other as well.       RESOURCES MENTIONED:    Time to Think by Nancy Kline; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Think-Listening-Ignite-Human/dp/0706377451 BBY Show S8 Ep13: Unlocking collective agency https://apple.co/3V0Bb8T       ABOUT OUR GUEST: Natacha Wilson's mission is to help leaders shape positive futures.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   If you don't understand why there's a gap between where you are and your vision, you'll never persist with what's required to get you to your aspiration, nor will you be able to articulate why it's important to bridge this gap to others.   As we build our movement and our brand, we resonate with and invite others to follow us and become part of our movement from wherever they happen to be.   It's easy to get swept away with the vision and purpose of our movement and forget that we actually need to onboard others as they come along, whether their colleagues, compatriots, followers, other influencers.    Take those moments to look ahead, keep connected with your vision, and then evaluate the right shortcut to keep moving forward and the right milestones to keep on track.

They dive into what separates long-term success from short-term flashes and why doing things differently is sometimes exactly what the sport needs. This conversation isn't about shortcuts. It's about foundation, discipline, and creating athletes who can sustain success at the highest level.

In this episode of the Conquer Athlete podcast, Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the current state of affiliate programming in the fitness industry. They explore how the rise of standardized programming from major companies may be stifling creativity and individuality in gym programming. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the specific needs and demographics of gym members, referred to as the 'avatar', and how tailored programming can lead to better outcomes for clients. They also highlight the significance of simplicity in program design, arguing that effective training does not need to be complex. The conversation wraps up with a call to action for gym owners to focus on their ideal clients and create an environment that caters to their needs. Takeaways Affiliate programming may be killing creativity in gyms. Understanding your gym's avatar is crucial for success. Not all gym owners need to write their own programs. Tailored programming leads to better client outcomes. Simplicity in program design is often more effective. The fitness community thrives on variety and creativity.Gym owners should focus on their ideal clients. Negativity in feedback often comes from a loud minority. Effective training doesn't need to be complex. Consistency is key for client success.

In this second installment of a two-part series, Coach Eric Hörst takes the high-level systems philosophy introduced in Episode #122 and brings it down to earth with practical, actionable guidance. This episode walks listeners through the nine elements of an intelligent training system and illustrates how each one applies directly to climbing preparation and long-term improvement. Eric emphasizes that as climbers progress beyond the beginner stage, climbing and training grow increasingly complex—requiring intentional, organized, and year-round development of strength, technique, mental skills, recovery habits, nutrition, and lifestyle management. Rather than ad-lib sessions or singular-focus programs (like only training strength), climbers need a comprehensive system fine-tuned daily and seasonally. The episode explains how to evaluate your training "inputs," recognize both positive and negative "outputs," manage disturbances, and use ongoing feedback (sensors) to modulate your training wisely. Eric underscores that self-awareness, discipline, and responsiveness—not just effort—drive long-term progress. He makes the case that thoughtful systems dramatically improve performance, reduce injury risk, and provide clarity amidst the complexities of climbing life. The episode concludes with guidance on setting meaningful long- and short-term goals, adjusting training loads with intention, eliminating counterproductive habits, and being vigilant about the subtle disturbances that erode progress over time. Ultimately, Eric encourages every committed climber to craft a personalized system—one aligned to their goals, life structure, recovery needs, and unique path in the sport.

What's your BHAG? You also need a series of short-term goals to make your journey more rich and enjoyable…and to help maintain motivation and a sense of progress. 17:50 – Importance of consciously selecting your INPUTs—training, rest, food, things you do to support recovery, etc. 22:30 – SENSOR…your subjective sense of movement quality and fatigue while climbing and training; but also via objective measures...such as tracking of metrics of fitness (grip strength, bodyweight, etc.) 25:05 – The power of DISTURBANCES to covertly sabotage your training and knock you off course from your goals. Strive to anticipate, avoid, or quickly course-correct. 28:00 – Most important: Be proactive and fully engaged in the process of training, climbing, and living. Don't be an NPC! 29:30 – Wrap-up & Eric's 50% Challenge.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you.   Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you.   The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts.   Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good.   Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Visibility without purposes is vanity. "Maybe no one is coming to rescue us from ourselves, we better rescue ourselves" - Carl Sagan. A compass is a tool of navigation, it requires movement and skill to orient yourself to your true north. Pendulums don't swing to the middle and stop. They've got to swing from side to side to find equilibrium. A leadership model shouldn't have an attachment to gender or nation or skin color or religion. Leadership is on behalf of many.     RESOURCES MENTIONED: Compass Program - https://dattnergroup.com.au/compass/ Bringing women together from all walks of life, across all sectors, and at every career stage, Compass supports and encourages organisations and individuals to develop their and others unique leadership qualities, while empowering them to implement change at work, home, in community and globally.   Homeward Bound Projects - https://homewardboundprojects.com.au/ Homeward Bound is a ground-breaking, global leadership initiative, set against the backdrop of Antarctica, which aims to heighten the influence and impact of women in making decisions that shape our planet.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Fabian Dattner is the founder and CEO of Dattner Group, a leadership consultancy specialising in sustainable cultural transformation, executive development, senior leadership development and working with women.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is like a buffet, you pay the price, you come in and you enjoy it. A customer is a transaction and a client is a relationship. There are three things a business should have - an artist, a dealmaker, and a manager. In order to become a business owner, you need to have systems, leverage, and have the company running without you.     RESOURCES MENTIONED: Never Eat Alone by Tahl Raz Keith Ferrazzi - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0385346654/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_9WMQPV0JSTYABY236PV1_0   Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking by Matthew Syed - https://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Ideas-Power-Diverse-Thinking/dp/1473613949     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Johann has spent his entire career solving problems and fixing businesses.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Putting yourself out there will not just build a network, but also demonstrate your ability and credibility to deliver a result. People buy on emotion and justify on reason. People are not 100 percent driven about the almighty dollar and getting paid the big dollar. They want a level of flexibility, they want a level of work-life balance. It's not what you know, it's not who you know, it's who knows you. “You get knocked down, you get back up, and you've got to keep doing that until people say yes because the yes will come because of the tenacity and the endeavor, and all those sorts of things and your ability to demonstrate success that you actually can get the results on the board” - Jason Burgess. Be prepared to tell your story. It doesn't happen by osmosis, you have to actually tell your story. If you can't articulate those wins and who you are, and what you stand for, there's no trust, there's no building a foundation between you that could develop either into job offer or a client or whatever that is.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: After growing up in a small country, Kilmore about an hour north of Melbourne and attending Assumption College teaching him strong people values, and work ethics Jason went on to successfully complete a Bachelor of Business in Commerce and Finance at Monash University. Jason's career initially commenced in Finance with a major TV network, Network 10 before realising and making a change to a passion of his towards a people-oriented career in Recruitment. For over 25 years, Jason has worked within the Recruitment industry in large corporate environments in end-to-end consulting positions as well as Senior leadership positions managing highly successful teams. It wasn't until having a family and realising the need for work life balance he established his own recruitment business in Max Executive which focuses on mid to senior level Sales and Marketing positions both nationally and internationally across FMCG, Consumer Goods, Hospitality and Retail Franchising as well as Sport and Leisure sectors. Jason has a basic philosophy when it comes to his business is ‘treat others as you want to be treated yourself' and has established a knowledge base and network that is highly regarded and the envy of many in a marketplace that is highly competitive and ever evolving. His and Max Executive's business motto is about Maximising Possibilities.   CONNECT WITH JASON BURGESS: Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-burgess-5649774/ Website - www.maxexecutive.com.au Twitter - https://twitter.com/ MaxExecutive Email - jasonb@maxexecutive.com .au     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

A holistic approach is important in building your brand and business. Seven conversations with seven extraordinary Australian entrepreneurs: Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, Healthy Planet.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity is the foundation of a successful personal brand so raise your hand for opportunities that resonate with your deepest self.

Today's guest is Hunter Eisenhower, Associate Head Coach for Sports Performance at Arizona State Men's Basketball. With experience in the NBA and NCAA, Hunter blends force production qualities, data analysis, and variability-driven human training methods to build explosive, adaptable athletes. He's the creator of the “Force System” and a thought leader in modern athletic performance concepts. Most athletic performance training is centered around outputs. Movement abilities and qualities are discussed, but there isn't much quantification process that goes towards an athlete's raw abilities, such as variable jump strategies alongside stiffness and compliance competencies. On today's episode, Hunter shares his approach to offseason prep using general physical means that build that “human strength”—developing capacity alongside movement variability. Hunter also breaks down how he quantifies an athlete's movement capacities and library, their ability to, balance rigidity and compliance in line with force plate data. We wrap with ideas on foot training and using variable surfaces to meet the demands of dynamic sport. This is a great look at training beyond just big lifts—into the true movement needs of the game.

Sometimes mental state—not just strength—dictates how long you'll last under tension. What to try: Program weekly “grit sets”: sandbag holds, wall sits, or dead hangs. Try them first thing in the session—before the brain can talk itself out of effort. Pair them with journaling or a quick “mind state” score: how'd it feel today? Let Hard and Fun Coexist in Your Program (6:00) Every session can't be a competition. But not everyone should be brutal either. Hunter encourages toggling between “suck” and “play.” One makes you tougher, the other keeps you coming back. What to try: Alternate between gamified partner drills and long isometric work during your week. Use athlete feedback: which days feel “engaging”? Which feel like “grinding”? Both matter. Build polarity into the week—not just into the periodization model. The Importance of Variability in Program Design (10:19) Sticking to one type of stimulus flattens the athlete's capacity. Instead, training should live across a spectrum—fun to miserable, slow to fast, light to heavy.
