Welcome to a live coaching session with your host, Chris Goodman! This episode is something a little different as you will be listening in on a conversation with Rob Reddinger, a business professional in the restaurant industry. We work through a couple of issues, including speaking clearly, effectively, and with authority, dialing into focus, specifically how Rob prioritizes tasks, and how he can simplify what needs to be done in the moment without becoming overwhelmed. If you’re listening, chances are you’re in business too and you know what it feels like when everyone is looking to you for answers! Perhaps you need to deliver an agenda to your team, or even just communicate a simple task for the day? Well, speaking eloquently and staying focused under pressure are important skills to have. Tuning in, you’ll hear about the lack of confidence that might be informing Rob’s trouble with communicating clearly, why a shift in mindset is better than learning a specific method, and how you can influence the way you feel by changing the way you think, as well as how Rob can leave others feeling excited or inspired after a conversation with him, overcome his fear of failure or embarrassment, and manage his anxiety using breathing exercises. Don’t miss this episode!
