This week Brett Bartholomew makes his Industrial Strength Show debut! Brett is not only one of the top performance coaches in the world - he's also the author of the best-selling book "Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In" - as well as a highly sought after keynote speaker & consultant. Brett works with members of the United States Special Forces, Fortune 500 companies, non-profit organizations, and universities to help develop more effective leaders and improve interactions and communication. This week's episode focuses on coaching/interpersonal skills [as opposed to the technical aspects of strength and conditioning]. Highlights from Joe's conversation w/ Brett include: How "poor communication" nearly cost Brett his life; How to "train" to become a better communicator; Learning to speak your clients language, aka, "social agility"; What it takes to become a great leader; Can you be a great coach without having played the sport you're coaching?; Why Brett shows his athletes performing "bad reps" on social media...and so much More! *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps goto www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
