Vigor Life Podcast · EP117: The Power of Communication and Why You MUST Get Better at It as a Coach w/ Brett Bartholomew

 

I finally got my good friend Brett Bartholomew on the show to talk about something we both feel very strongly about: the power of communication. Brett speaks on this on so many levels – including his must have book, Conscious Coaching and his program Bought In.

Brett Bartholomew is a strength and conditioning coach, author, consultant, and Founder of Art of Coaching. His experience includes working with athletes both in the team environment and private sector – along with members of the United States Special Forces and members of Fortune 500 companies. Taken together, Brett has coached a diverse range of athletes from across 23 sports world-wide—at levels ranging from youth athletes to Olympians. He’s supported numerous Super Bowl and World Series Champions, along with several professional fighters in both professional boxing as well as the UFC.

In this episode we dive into the nuts and bolts of communication, why it's so important, and the reason you must get better at it— no matter where you currently are with your skill level. We explain why.

Let's go.

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN

* 3 key areas in life where communication is a must and why improving it will get you better results and give you a competitive advantage.

* Communication represents the very essence of human condition - and yet it's rarely taught OR evaluated so that coaches can improve.

* Poor communication can cost you results and your livelihood, and how to avoid having your job taken by robots in near future (listen to the predictions of how many jobs will be lost to this).

* Why you should be filming yourself speaking and communicating on a consistent basis and asking for constructive feedback.

* Only 6% of people do THIS and why you have an opportunity to put yourself in the upper echelon of coaches.

* The 8 components of the communication process. Brett breaks them down so you can hear how you can improve as a communicator.

* Context is KEY and why it's one of the most important parts of communication. We discuss HOW to practically change.

* Verbal, non-verbal, and para-verbal communication, the missing links that are preventing you from being the best communicator.

* Brett and I dive into examples of communication that you can use to improve how you communicate.

* Most people are so scared to fail that they avoid working on communication and receiving feedback – which turns into failure in coaching, sales, marketing, and because of that: business.

* Evolution of coaches and entrepreneurs and THE biggest mistake they’re making that are stopping them from improving.

* A powerful example/story of how lack of communication could have prevented a loss of thousands of lives, and how YOU may be losing results because of your communication.

* The important factors of online communication and strategies and tips to instantly improve it and differentiate yourself.

* Want to sell better and more? Follow these mindsets and strategies Brett and I share that will help you overcome the obstacle of being great at sales.

When at the airport I always make a pitstop at the bookstore. While traveling to a speaking engagement, a book title entered my line of vision: "Raise Your Game.” As I read the cover, chapter topics and testimonials I knew I had to get it. Especially given it was from the world of basketball. From first crack, I couldn't put it down. I finished it in two days and knew I needed to get the author, Alan Stein Jr on the podcast to talk about the principles.

I later realized both Alan and I were featured in Anthony Renna’s book, “Be Like The Best”, which led me to connecting with Alan... and here we are.

Alan is a world-renowned coach, speaker and author. He spent 15+ years working the highest performing basketball players on the planet and now teaches audiences how to utilize the same strategies in business that elite athletes use to perform at a world-class level. Alan specializes in improving individual and organizational leadership, performance and accountability.

2. What Alan learned from Kobe Bryant about the basics, that made him the best in the world at his craft.

3. Why knowing yourself first is crucial to creating a change in your life and business, as well as impacting others.

4. The basics of what you’re trying to improve—whether it be your craft, your business, your marriage—and how to break them down into skill work.

5. How Alan addresses “shiny object syndrome” and lack of attention by using praise, setting expectations and defining a role.

6. What not to do to ensure that you're not being disrespectful to the process, your craft, and the game. Whatever your game may be.

7. The importance of environment when it comes to buying into the basics and why you should seek out environments that trigger positive behaviors.

8. How to get rid of distractions so you can perform at the highest level. The most disciplined people have the least amount of distractions.

9. Create systems and processes to make sticking to habits easier. We share examples.

10. How Kevin Durant transformed himself after hating strength training but still showed up weekly to put in work.

11. People take what you do over what you say. Why you should model the behavior of your role models, and how this will help you become a high character person.

12. Alan's exercise to discover your values and the process steps to become that person.

13. What to do when someone has not bought into the team, and the vision.

Bryan and I met almost 13 years ago at a Perform Better Summit through our mutual friend Nate Green. At that point in time Bryan was writing a lot of quality fitness articles for top publications. I really enjoyed his writing style: real world wisdom from training his real world clients. The thing about Bryan is that while he wrote for T-Nation, Mens Health, Mens Fitness, Bodybuilding.com, Ask Men, and many more, he had so much actual coaching experience and real world results with his clients. Not to mention himself. He’s 47, jacked and lean.

Today he continues to write, train, and have a successful online coaching business. In this podcast episode we dive into the principles of the “How” in coaching to get the best possible results with your clients; whether face to face, or online.

Let's go.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

1. How Bryan started training people but kept it as a side hustle. Believe it or not, he didn’t believe he could make a career out of it. We discuss what changed his mind.

2. Why it’s important to go past the sets and reps to help people truly transform.

3. Why you MUST build a foundation and understanding the body, movement, program design, etc. AKA "the buy" in to coaching.

4. Why you should always start with finding out a client's lifestyle before building their program. e.g. “How do they go about their day?”

5. Why you can’t take your clients word at the height of their excitement and motivation when it comes to what they’re able to commit to. We discuss how you uncover the reality.

6. Why it’s so much better to build on success than having to pull back when you start training clients. We share out mistakes so you can avoid making the same ones.

7. What the ideal training frequency is for different goals, from muscle building, to fat loss, no matter your age.

8. What the “cardio placeholder” is and how it creates better results for clients.

9. Why walking is key to feeling better when you’re pushing your diet (and how it helps you physiologically unpack things).

10. Whether or not age should dictate the exercises you should choose, and the formula for not getting injured and continuing to progress.

11. Doing ramp sets, pushing to positive failure, not training for less than an hour, and other myths get put to the test by Bryan and myself.

12. The “not so cool” modalities that pay the biggest dividends but get missed so often.

13. How everything affects itself and why coaching is like a dance that you always have to assess.

14. 3 nutritional principles that will create success for your clients if you nail them.

15. How to take how a person who is currently living one way and gradually make it better (and why this is the key to success).

16. Why precision and being geeky on the numbers will most times hinder success when it comes to body transformations.

17. Why variability is NOT a good choice when people are looking to change their habits.

18. While simplicity and autonomy matter, creating rules for clients can be powerful. Bryan explain this concept.

6. The power of storytelling and why it’s integral to creating connection with people.
