    E344 | Tips for "Balancing" Work and Family Life
    Sep 23 2024

    It’s the holy grail of mental health and wellness for many people. Almost all of us, at one point or another, have chased the elusive 'work-life balance,' hoping to find the perfect harmony between our careers and personal lives.

    But is 'balance' really the right word? Perhaps it’s a misnomer that oversimplifies the complexity of juggling work and family.

    Today’s topic arose from a conversation between Brett and several of our facilitators about the push and pull that occurs between career and family. It’s a concept we all struggle with in some capacity, and in this episode, we’ll share insights from that discussion along with practical strategies for managing the demands of work and family.

    Tune in as we get real on a this common struggle, as we explore:

    • The misnomer of “balance” and how to define it for yourself
    • How guilt influences decisions in your professional life
    • Realigning your goals to reflect what truly matters
    • How to recognize if the obstacle in your was is YOU - and what to do about it

    E343 | The Power of Indirect Influence: Strategies for Convincing Stubborn People
    Sep 16 2024
    “They just won’t listen. No matter how clearly I explain it, they refuse to see my side of things. It’s like talking to a brick wall." Have you ever felt like this, like you're hitting a dead end with someone who just won’t budge? Influencing people is an art, one that often requires more than just logic and facts, especially in today’s world where information has been turned into a kind of religion willing to anoint whoever can wield it more skillfully. In today’s episode, we’ll revisit several past topics and connect the dots to reveal an alternative way to move the ball forward. Oftentimes, if we try to bull our way straight ahead, we’re met with the most resistance. In reality, an indirect route can be like finding a perfect gap in the defense—avoiding tackles and making the smoothest run toward the end zone. Topics Discussed: The necessity of understanding power dynamics and influence tacticsHow penetrating someone’s ring of influence can help your causeCoalition building and the true strength in numbers when voices alignInvoking reciprocity and how deep-seated trust begins with giving I GET IT, NOW HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK FOR ME? - Communication is something none of us will ever perfect, but how do you expect to get better if you don’t hold yourself accountable and do something to get better at it? We’d love for you to join us at one of our Apprenticeship workshops, where you’ll not only gain the knowledge and understanding you need to navigate the messy realities of relationships and leadership, but more importantly, you’ll get hands on experience working through your specific situation and gain the perspective of the AOC team and other individuals looking to improve themselves. We just solidified two new dates for 2025! We’ll kick off the year on the East Coast in March and keep the ball rolling back in Phoenix in June. Keep an eye on our Live Event Schedule here, and if you have any questions, schedule a free discovery call. We also offer 1-On-1 Mentoring if you prefer a more personalized approach. Either way, THIS IS WHAT WE DO and we want to help! Reach out to us at info@artofcoaching.com and a member of our team will be in touch.

    E342 | Unpacking the Controversy of Nike's Latest Ad
    Sep 9 2024

    Am I a bad person? Nike’s latest ad asks this question, and the internet erupted in response. But is the real issue the ad, or what it reveals about our relationship with competition and ambition?

    In this episode, Brett Bartholomew delves into the controversy surrounding Nike's recent ad, featuring Willem Dafoe’s voice and a striking depiction of athletes at their most intense. While some argue the ad promotes toxic values in sports, Brett explores the nuance behind it, offering his insights as a coach, parent, and former athlete. He dissects why the ad has sparked such strong reactions and what it says about our society’s discomfort with the more competitive, driven side of human nature.

    Topics Discussed:

    1. The controversy surrounding the Nike ad and Willem Dafoe's voiceover.
    2. The depiction of athletes and the "dark side" of competition.
    3. The difference between respecting opponents and being hyper-competitive.
    4. The role of parents in shaping their children’s behavior.
    5. How societal issues, such as mental health and polarized reactions, influence public perception of media.
    6. Brett’s personal experiences with athletes and how they balance intensity with ethics.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Take our Drives Quiz!
    • Nike Ad featuring Willem Dafoe
