What if the communication skills holding back your business growth aren't what you think they are? Most service business executives invest heavily in presentation training and public speaking courses, only to sound more robotic and less persuasive than before. Tristan, a World Championship of Public Speaking finalist, reveals why traditional communication training focuses on the wrong symptoms entirely—and shares the counterintuitive systems that help leaders show up authentically in high-stakes client meetings and team presentations. From his revolutionary "accordion method" that eliminates the need for notes or memorization, to the 2-minute exercises that outperform weekend workshops, this conversation exposes the hidden methodology behind truly powerful business communication. Why Your Communication Training Is Making You Worse (Not Better)  Most executives invest in presentation skills, public speaking courses, and communication workshops—only to sound more robotic than before. Tristan reveals why traditional training focuses on the wrong things entirely. Instead of fixing external symptoms, there's a deeper root cause that transforms how you show up in client meetings, team presentations, and high-stakes conversations. The Authenticity Paradox: How "Being Yourself" Became Bad Business Advice  Everyone tells you to "be authentic," but what does that actually mean when you're presenting to a potential million-dollar client? Tristan breaks down the difference between authentic communication and performative communication—and why most business leaders are unknowingly choosing the path that repels rather than attracts. From World Championship Finalist to Business System: The Feedback Loop That Changes Everything  Tristan didn't just reach the World Championship of Public Speaking by accident. He cracked the code on constant iteration and feedback that most people are too uncomfortable to pursue. This same methodology became the foundation of Ultraspeaking's approach—and it's why their clients see dramatic improvements in weeks, not years. The Short Exercise Revolution: Why 2-Minute Drills Beat 2-Hour Workshops  Forget lengthy training programs and weekend seminars. Tristan's breakthrough discovery involves short, feedback-driven speaking exercises that build fundamental skills faster than traditional methods. The secret isn't in the length of practice—it's in the intensity and frequency of specific types of challenges. The Accordion Method: How to Never Use Notes Again (Without Memorizing Anything)  What if you could deliver compelling presentations without slides, notes, or memorization? Tristan's "accordion method" involves a counterintuitive approach of progressively shortening and lengthening your speaking time. This forces something most business leaders never achieve: true clarity of thought and complete internalization of your message. Ready to discover why the best communicators in business aren't naturally gifted—they just know different systems? This conversation reveals the methodology behind authentic, powerful communication that drives real business results. Learn more about Tristan de Montebello over at Ultra Speaking.

In this week's episode, I share some reflections from my recent trip to the Riata Buckle roping and how shifting my self image played a key role in my performance.

I'll talk about the areas of personal development I've been focused on, how I've worked to get in the zone, and ways you can replicate a competition environment in your own mind to build confidence and consistency—no matter where you're at in your training journey.Episode Resources:Learn more about the stallions and training programs mentioned in this episode at eliasonperformancehorses.com.

What if the straightest line to a bigger career is choosing the uncomfortable zones? On episode #141, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tracy Nolan, Fortune 100 executive, transformation leader, and champion of women in leadership, to unpack the choices and mindsets that turned discomfort into momentum. From retail floors to the front lines of telecom, from global negotiations to a mission-driven role in healthcare, Tracy shows how to trust your instincts, claim your seat, and bring others with you.We dig into the moment a sponsor pushed her into a stretch role and why that single act of belief changed her trajectory. Tracy breaks down the difference between mentorship and sponsorship (and how to be a great mentee), shares a simple mental model for speaking up in intimidating rooms, and explains how demanding goals can coexist with deep empathy and active listening. Her stories, like giving a CEO-ready plan just ten days into a new job, reveal how confidence is built: not by waiting to be “A+ ready,” but by acting, learning, and iterating.Tracy also opens up about why healthcare fits her purpose, the women-first culture she's found at Humana, and the platform she's building, Lift as They Climb, to make sponsorship among women the norm, not the exception. We talk board pathways, continuous learning, and the skill set that will outlast every tool in an AI-driven economy: leading people through change with clarity, process, and heart.If boldness has been on your list, consider this your nudge.

I did an interview with Michael Markman at Meta Connect 2025 talking about all of the latest updates to the VR design and prototyping tool of ShapesXR, and then we start to dive into some of his hot takes after getting a chance to try out the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses and associated Neural Band. He sees that the neural band is essentially transforming your hand into a mouse that is providing a simplified navigation system (probably closer to a D-pad on a TV remote), but the index-finger-to-thumb serves as a functional left click and middle-finger-to-thumb serves as a functional right click, which has been enough to build the foundation of most modern HCI for computer software for the last 57 years since The Mother of All Demos debuted the mouse in 1968.

After facing prostate cancer at 50 and experiencing profound betrayal when his wife of 11 years left during his darkest hour, Dave shares the powerful tools that helped him rebuild and find hope again. Living retired in Greece with an ocean view, he now dedicates his life to helping others transform their trauma into strength.  Sensei Dave Armstrong is a resilience coach, martial arts instructor, author, and motivational speaker. Having overcome gang involvement, foster care, juvenile detention, and illiteracy, Dave now lives in Greece and helps others navigate life's most challenging moments.

I was always hopeful. And that's what I try to instill - because even if you don't have the skill sets, there's hope to acquire and change."  "We have agency over our response to trauma. Why not choose the positive impact rather than the negative?"  "I see the God in everyone. Unfortunately, life will start to hit us and we'll harden our shell. But you can't get out of what you've built to protect yourself."  Timestamps  [00:00] Introduction to Sensei Dave Armstrong  [05:30] Cancer diagnosis and betrayal story  [12:15] Childhood trauma and gang involvement  [18:45] The mentors who saved his life  [25:20] Developing resilience as a skill  [32:10] Setting and maintaining boundaries  [38:45] The healing journey after betrayal  [44:30] Current life philosophy and message  Resources  Book: "Why Me, My Fight for Life" by Dave Armstrong  Website: www.senseidave.com  One-on-one coaching: upna.net  Instagram: @MrMotivation  ThePBTInstitute.com  The PBT Institute Certification Program
