Podcasts about Skill

We hear a lot about self esteem these days. Why it matters, how to get more of it, and what it means when you feel like you do not have enough. Most people think that improving their self esteem will automatically make them more confident, but to create real and lasting confidence, they are missing something essential: self belief. In this episode, I am breaking down the difference between the two and explaining why self belief is the skill that actually moves your life forward. You will also learn why your brain resists confidence in the first place and how to work through the fears that keep you playing small.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow uses a famous Michael Jordan quote, a heartbreaking Minnesota Vikings loss, and a rant from Jeff Compton of The Jaded Mechanic Podcast to dig into a big question:When did we get so impatient with young people—and what is it costing our industry?Matt reflects on how we treat new, entry-level mechanical and technical specialists in our shops, how “common sense” isn't actually common, and why our own backgrounds make it easy to forget what it's like to start from zero. He draws parallels between sports, restaurants, and auto repair, and makes the case that if we want to “grow our own,” we must build patience and structure into our businesses.Along the way, he talks about failure as a prerequisite for greatness—using Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Muhammad Ali, and even win–loss records and batting averages to remind us that the “greats” failed a lot before anyone called them great.Highlights & Topics CoveredMichael Jordan's failure quote and what it really says about successA recent Vikings–Bears game:JJ McCarthy's rough day, clutch fourth-quarter drive, andHow special teams and defense actually lost the gameThe internet meltdown: instant calls to replace a young quarterback who's essentially still a rookieA short video rant from Jeff Compton (The Jaded Mechanic Podcast) about having patience with young peopleThe core question: When did we get so impatient—and were we always this way?Generational shifts in handling criticism, shame, and feedbackWhy “common sense” isn't common:How background, upbringing, and exposure shape what feels obviousGrowing up around farms, equipment, and shops vs. growing up with screensHomemakers, latchkey kids, and how changing family structures change what kids bring into the workplaceThe reality of today's entry-level hire:No mechanical backgroundDoesn't know a hex from a Torx… yetThe shop's responsibility if you want to “grow your own”:Structuring the business to shoulder an apprentice who isn't producing much at firstDefining basic expectations (showing up, being on time, not repeating the same mistake endlessly)Skill decay and repetition:Lab scopes, training classes, and how fast proficiency fades without regular useHow we criticize: sharp scalpel vs. rusty spoon; cutting people apart vs. building them upRemembering that apprentices didn't choose their childhood or start point—but are choosing this careerThe sports angle on failure and greatness:Michael Jordan getting cut from his high school teamPat Riley's quote about last shot vs. “save my life” shot (MJ vs. Larry Bird)Muhammad Ali's losses, UFC careers, and the obsession with “perfect records”Baseball batting averages: greatness at 30% successA teaser for a future episode: how this profession can play a role in the “war on young men”Key TakeawaysFailure is part of greatness. The people we call “the greatest” in sports failed repeatedly. Expecting perfection from a first-year tech is delusional.Common sense is built, not born. What feels obvious to you probably came from years of exposure, mistakes, and stories you grew up around. Your apprentice didn't get that same download.If you want to grow your own, structure for it. Shops that bring in entry-level mechanical/technical...

In this episode of the Great Leaders UK series, we welcome Emma Maslen, author, angel investor, and founder of inspir'em. Emma draws on her successful career in large organizations like SAP and BMC to discuss the crucial difference between theoretical playbooks and their real-world, behavioral application. She stresses that the playbook is a framework to drive curiosity and risk mitigation, not a tick-box exercise. Emma also shares why networking is a constant professional necessity, detailing the common mistakes people make and how leaders can intentionally build their networks to gain knowledge and accelerate their careers.  

I'm excited to revisit this conversation with Annie Duke to the show to talk about her book, How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices. Annie is a former professional poker player turned decision strategist who blends cognitive psychology, high-stakes poker, and practical frameworks to help us make better choices in work and life—even when we don't have all the information. In this conversation, we cover:Luck, Skill, and Outcomes: Annie explains why we need to stop judging our decisions solely by outcomes—and how separating luck from skill leads to better learning and better choices over time. Thinking in Bets and Living with Uncertainty: Drawing from her poker career and academic background, Annie shows how “thinking in bets” helps us navigate uncertainty, manage risk, and make sound decisions even when the long run is a long way off. Simple Decision Tools and Knowledge Tracking: We talk about practical decision processes—like writing down what you knew, what you believed, and what you predicted at the time—to close feedback loops faster and improve your judgment without needing 10,000 repetitions. Escaping Bias, Sunk Costs, and Identity Traps: Annie unpacks how status quo bias, sunk cost fallacy, and “identity-protective cognition” keep us defending past choices instead of seeking truth—and how a better decision process helps us see options more objectively. Confidence, Quitting, and Knowing When to Pivot: We explore how to calibrate confidence, tell the difference between a mountain and a molehill, and decide when perseverance serves you—and when it's wiser (and more productive) to climb back down and choose a different path. Annie's insights take decision-making out of the realm of “go with your gut” and into a practical, repeatable process you can use for everything from small daily choices to major career moves. If you've ever looked back and thought, “If I knew then what I know now…”, this episode will give you tools to reduce those regrets and make more confident, informed decisions going forward.

Most paddlers are trying to build courage and skill on top of a shaky foundation — and they don't even know it. In this solo episode, I break down why so many paddlers (and humans!) focus on the wrong thing when they're trying to improve. Whether it's your roll falling apart, your eddy peel-outs feeling frantic, or the ever-present fear of being underwater (or in any challenge that doesn't seem to ever go away), chances are you're working on symptoms instead of the actual root. And when you build on a weak foundation? It only holds for so long… until it doesn't. Inside this episode, you'll learn:

In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly break down one of the highest-yield (and most commonly missed) topics in the entire Psych/Soc section:→ Experimental vs. Observational research→ When you can (and CANNOT) conclude causality→ Cross-sectional vs. longitudinal→ Cohort vs. case-control vs. case studies→ Prospective vs. retrospective→ Validity vs. reliability (internal vs. external + the dartboard analogy)→ Real AAMC examples (including the cocaine exposure passage)→ Classic studies: Phineas Gage, H.M., Milgram, Little Albert, Asch, Bobo doll, and moreIf you've ever picked the “causes” answer choice on an observational study and gotten wrecked, this episode is for you. Skill 3 (reasoning about research design & execution) shows up in EVERY section, but Psych/Soc is where it can make or break your score.Want to learn more?

Babe, you know these moments where you can't help but wonder…“Do I need to do more right now – or am I supposed to just chill the f*ck out and blindly trust?” Yeah. That question used to drive me insane. Because as ambitious women, we are wired to MOVE. We're so used to strategizing, planning, taking control – that the concept of “surrender” feels like giving up, or even worse, failure. But here's the truth: knowing when to take action and when to let go is literally the difference between burnout and overflow. It's the skill that led me from over-functioning to thriving in every aspect of life. In this solo episode, I'm guiding you through how to tell the difference so you can stop second guessing yourself and start moving in harmony with your highest self. We're diving deep into all things energetics and the energetic dance you need to learn to balance both masculine and feminine energies, how I apply my teachings to my own life, how to know when to take action versus when it's time to surrender and let go, how to know which energy you're currently or predominantly in, and so much more! So babe, grab your cacao or matcha and a journal, because you're going to want to take notes and implement these practices into your daily life! ------Wanna take things wayyyyyy deeper and upgrade your life in 2026, exponentially?CLAIM YOUR SPOT TO WORK WITH ME IN A PRIVATE SETTING HERE!Ready to become The Magnetic Woman?

Have you ever wondered whether coaching is something you do or something you are? In this episode, we dive into a powerful identity-based question that often emerges when people consider a future in coaching: is coaching fundamentally a skillset, or is it an expression of who we are at our core? We explore how coaching can be seen as an external activity, a profession where we learn models, techniques and structures to support people with their goals. Coaching becomes the thing we do to make a living, with our craft built through continuous learning and development. At the same time, coaching can also be deeply rooted in how we naturally move through the world. When curiosity, deep listening and a desire to understand others feel instinctive, coaching may feel like an extension of our identity rather than a role to step into. We reflect on our own journey, where coaching felt like who we were before it became what we did. We share that, learning the skills came first, which then enabled us to identity as a coach to grow. We've seen so many coaches discover coaching in both directions, and neither path is more valid or successful than the other. We also discuss the reality that coaching evolves over time. As our coaching maturity develops, our presence deepens. The identity a coach holds today will not be the same identity they hold in ten years. Coaching can grow with us as our practice and confidence expand. And crucially, coaches are human beings first. There can be pressure when we over-identify with the coach role. We talk openly about releasing the expectation to embody our coach persona in every moment of life, especially when parenting, navigating stress, or juggling the many facets of running a business. This episode is an invitation to reflect, stretch your thinking, and recognise that both identity and action shape what it means to coach. You don't need a definitive answer. Sometimes the power lies in the exploration itself.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Why we're asking: is coaching who you are or what you do? 00:53 – Defining coaching as a skillset and profession 02:24 – Coaching as identity and a way of being 03:46 – How coaches find their path into coaching 05:12 – Innate qualities vs trained skills 07:03 – Coaching styles, diversity and inclusivity 09:16 – Presence and how it shapes our experience of coaching 10:11 – Over-identifying with the coach identity 12:26 – The energy and consciousness behind coaching 15:21 – Who gets to define what coaching is? 17:16 – Evolution of coaching practice and competencies 18:41 – Final reflections and invitation to explore coaching further   Key Lessons Learned: Coaching can be both a role we perform and a core part of who we are Skill development and personal identity evolve together in coaching practice No single pathway into coaching is more valid than another Over-identification with being a coach can limit our humanity Coaching continues to change and modernise as the profession matures Presence requires energy, awareness and skill, it is not a constant state The freedom to define your style is one of the greatest strengths of coaching   Keywords: coaching identity, coaching skills, what is coaching, coaching profession, coach development, becoming a coach, coaching mindset, deep listening, coaching journey, coaching presence,   Links & Resources: igcompany.com/ilmcall igcompany.com

What does it say about the future of work when AI competency starts to feel as expected as basic reading? That question sat with me throughout my latest conversation with Artem Kroupenev, VP of Strategy at Augury, who returns to the show with a perspective that lands with fresh clarity. Workforce costs remain high, industries are shifting, and the job market continues to reset its foundations. In that environment, Artem argues that AI literacy is no longer something ambitious candidates use to stand out. It is becoming a baseline expectation that employers will quietly assume. The way we talk about skills is changing, and the speed of that shift matters. Across our discussion, Artem reflects on how this transition is unfolding inside factories and industrial operations, where Augury has spent the last decade building predictive machine health systems. He describes a world where AI takes on tasks, not entire roles, and where the real opportunity for workers sits in judgment, collaboration, and the kind of problem solving that software cannot replicate. He highlights patterns from the SOPH 2025 data that show strong confidence across manufacturing leaders, yet also reveal a gap between optimism and real capability. It paints a picture of an industry moving quickly, yet still learning how to measure and translate AI value into outcomes people can trust. What struck me most was how Artem links mindset to readiness. Individuals who treat AI as a companion in their daily workflow, rather than a novelty to test occasionally, start building the fluency that future roles will quietly demand. Employers who approach AI simply as a tool upgrade often overlook the harder work of reshaping processes, KPIs, and expectations. And the organisations that fail to adapt risk widening the gap between AI empowered and AI hesitant teams, something Artem believes will show up in hiring, competition, and long term viability. This conversation looks beyond the usual headlines about automation and considers what the next five years might actually feel like for people joining the workforce or leading teams through change. If AI becomes as expected as reading and writing, what does that mean for education, career paths, and employer responsibility? I would love to hear your view.

Michael Delisser's journey into the world of leadership began at just 15 years old, sitting quietly in the back of his father's coaching sessions with Fortune 100 executives. These were elite leaders—brilliant, successful, respected—yet many had been fired for the same reason: ineffective communication. Watching top-tier professionals struggle to unlearn poor habits sparked a passion in him that would shape his life's work. Today, Michael has built his career around one mission: helping leaders communicate with clarity, awareness, and impact. He understands the gap many organizations create unintentionally—promoting talented individuals for their technical skill while overlooking the communication skills required to lead people. And in a world where AI is taking over more technical tasks than ever, the ability to communicate effectively isn't just important… it's make-or-break. Through coaching, speaking, and podcast conversations, Michael brings real-world stories and simple, actionable tools that leaders can use immediately. His work helps people connect better, engage deeper, and deliver results through stronger communication—starting with self-awareness and extending to every interaction that shapes leadership.https://www.delisserconsulting.com/https://www.delisserconsulting.com/leadership-accelerators-workbookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

On this episode, Travis reacts to an old video of his 26-year-old self giving advice to young people in their late teens and early 20s. Eric—Travis' producer—plays the video for him, and together they break down what young Travis got right, what he'd revise today, and why early career decisions matter more than most people realize. On this episode we talk about: Why “getting a job” isn't selling out—and how to earn while you learn The value of working for someone you admire instead of a random employer Why your 20s should be a decade of experimentation, skill stacking, and trying new things The importance of spending money on experiences and learning instead of flashy purchases How communication skills (door-to-door, telemarketing, network marketing) can transform your career Top 3 Takeaways Early career jobs are an opportunity to get paid to learn, especially when you align yourself with people you admire. Your 20s should be used for experimenting broadly so you don't lock yourself into the wrong path too early. Invest in experiences, relationships, and skill development—not things that depreciate and don't move your life forward. Notable Quotes “Earn while you learn—don't underestimate the value of having a job.” “Skill stacking in your 20s helps you out-earn everyone else in your 30s and 40s.” “Travel is one of the most underrated personal development activities out there.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Applications per job increase by 25% as AI-enablement mainstreams candidate side. 5.

US vs UK economic integration deepens - %age of new UK based TA jobs from US employers increases 100%. 16. Global Staffing agencies revenue / profit down another 10% (profit warning again in Q1 2025). 17. But medium sized agencies / RPO stage mini bounce back as employers push more requirements out from denuded TA teams. 18. RecOps, Talent Intelligence roles decline 20%, EB roles decline 30%. People & Culture roles increase 15%. 19. Somebody Ubersises the legions of fractional TA's out there. Probably this is Indeed. 20.

Do you worry that if you practice self-compassion, you'll stop getting things done or start letting yourself off the hook? This is a common fear, and it comes from confusing self-compassion with self-pity. In this episode, I'm teaching the second skill of the Confidence Compass: self-compassion. You'll learn how self-pity, self-criticism, and self-compassion form a spectrum, and why real confidence comes from balancing self-awareness with empathy. I'll show you how self-compassion allows you to meet yourself honestly and kindly while still taking responsibility for your growth and evolution.

In this heartfelt conversation on Nomadic Diaries: The Belonging Project, host Doreen Cumberford and co-host Megan Norton-Newbanks, interview Melki Siddiq, a communication coach, English teacher, counselor, and avid traveler. Melki reflects on his cross-cultural journey spanning India and Colombia, delving into the paradoxes of belonging, identity, and self. The conversation explores how constant movement can fragment - and also enrich - our sense of self, what it means to find home, and the nourishing power of community, rituals, and meaningful questions.Key Themes & Highlights:Introduction to Melki Siddiq:Melki shares his professional background and experiences living in India and five years in Colombia. The Paradox of Belonging:Melki describes belonging as a push and pull between seeking connection with others and preserving individuality, a sentiment familiar to third-culture and cross-cultural individuals.He shares, "Belonging everywhere and nowhere at once” - the tension and freedom of a nomadic identity.Skill of Adaptability:Through moving across cultures and languages, Melki developed adaptability and flexibility. He notes, however, that this flexibility may feel like fragmentation, prompting questions about identity and wholeness.Productive Tension & Self-Discovery:Melki views the inner tension of belonging as "a beautiful dance between being of the world and being in it." He regards self-inquiry as essential, asking: Can I belong somewhere without losing myself?.Grounding Rituals:Melki grounds himself through meditation and running—activities representing both stillness and movement, mirroring the oscillation within his own sense of belonging.Community and Safe Spaces:Melki values connections where masks are set aside and psychological safety is prioritized. He discusses his global network, including friendships formed at conferences and maintained through virtual meetups.Coaching & Reflection:As a coach, Melki prefers to guide rather than advise, encouraging self-discovery through reflective questions. Key prompts he uses:Why am I seeking a sense of belonging?Am I being authentic, or just trying to fit in?Can I belong somewhere without losing myself?How can I create spaces that welcome others' individuality?Memorable Quotations:“We are the thread in the fabric, but also the fabric as well.”“Home is where your heart is.”“How do I create spaces that welcome individuality in others?”Where to Find Melki:LinkedIn: Melki SiddiqPodcast: “Meaningful Conversations with Talk Cause” (Spotify)Website: talkcause.comFor Listeners:This episode is a rich exploration of rootlessness, community, and the evolving nature of identity.

When I was in my twenties and early thirties, I thought I was deeply self-aware. I'd read the books, gone to therapy, and could explain all my patterns in perfect detail. But nothing was really changing. It wasn't until I learned what self-awareness actually means and why understanding your story isn't the same as understanding your mind that I finally started to experience change. In this episode, I'm teaching the first skill of the Confidence Compass: true self-awareness. You'll learn why intellectual insight doesn't create transformation and how to uncover the subconscious thoughts that are really driving your feelings and actions. I'll share examples from my own life and my clients, from dating anxiety to money blocks, to show how powerful this shift can be.

Today's guest is Sam Elsner. Sam is a former NCAA Division III national champion thrower turned motor learning writer and educator. He's the author of The Play Advantage and creator of the Substack CALIBRATE, where he explores how humans learn movement through play, perception, and environment design. Sam brings a rare blend of elite athletic experience and deep skill-acquisition insight to help coaches and athletes move beyond drills toward true adaptability and creativity in sport. As athletic performance is largely driven by weight-lifting. It digs into maximal strength and force-related outcomes in such excess that all other elements of athleticism are negated. Skill learning and high velocity movement are the wellspring of sporting success. As such, having a balanced understanding of the training equation is critical for the long-term interest of the athlete. On today's podcast, Sam and I dive into how athletes truly learn to move. Sam traces his journey from WIAC throws circles to Cal Dietz's weight room, why a rigid “triphasic for everyone” phase backfired with a soccer team, and how ecological dynamics and a constraints-led lens reshaped his coaching. Together we unpack the strength–skill interplay, 1×20 “slow-cook” gains versus block periodization, the value of autonomous, creative training application. We touch on youth development, culture, and team ecology, plus where pros are experimenting with these ideas. This episode is loaded with both philosophy of training and skill learning, along with practical takeaways in program design. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

Keep speed, power, and reactive work present year-round in some capacity. Avoid assuming what works for one context transfers straight across to another. 17:49 - Vertical integration instead of siloed periodization Train multiple physical qualities year-round with shifting emphasis rather than isolating one block at a time. This prevents athletes from losing speed while developing strength, or vice versa. Small doses across the year keep qualities alive and connected. 24:58 - Skill learning must reflect the chaos of sport Sport is unpredictable, not robotic. Training should reflect that uncertainty. Use varied environments, movement options, and constraints instead of perfect reps. Skill emerges from exploration, not memorization. 35:43 - 1x20 for strength that supports skill 1x20 builds strength while leaving room for sprinting, jumping, and skill work. The last few reps in a 1x20 set still hit high effort without excessive nervous system cost. Use stance and tempo variations to match individual structure. 43:15 - Autonomy inside the weight room Allow athletes to choose stance width, bar position,
