Here are the summary points;

• 1.05: Sushi or tempura?
• 2.40: Following coaching models "V" coaching at the speed of thought happens on two levels:
  • 1) Newtonian Physics - We are using our key senses to coach.
  • Or if you want to get to the "black belt" level in coaching you have to let go of the models.
  • 2) Quantum physics - what is the degree of energy that you are able to bring to your coaching?
• 5.10: How can a coach prepare to be fully present for a coaching session?
  • When you are learning to coach - you are letting go of being the problem-solver
  • Mastery - you need to let go of the need for the problem to be solved at all
  • Learning how to listen from your sub-conscious (all mind-state experiences are stored) helps to sharpen everything
• 8.39: "We experience a physical manifestation of the emotional content of the neural pathway that we are currently accessing." This process helps us to re-awaken energetically with people.  
• 10.12: Your thoughts are physical. They are electrochemical signals on neural pathways in your brain.
• 12.21: Practice 3 times a day for 2 or 3 months: It takes 8 seconds to recall an empty mind!
• 14.16: How can a coach be comfortable in silence?
  • Train your sub-conscious to listen for:
    • Keywords that have behind them emotions, values, and beliefs that could be blocking them from moving forward.
    • Judgments = are a conscious awareness reaction
• 20.40: Stop taking notes! "Your ears and your mouth do not work at the same time."
  • No one has a memory storage problem - it is generally a memory recall problem.
  • There is seemingly no limit as to what you can teach your brain to do for you.
• 25.59: Disruptive coaching idea (2030)?
  • Never use this sentence again: "AI will never be able to <insert however you make your living>!"
  • Human coaches are going to need to coach at an energetic level. 
• 32.14: What makes a great coach?
  • Listening and Energy!
• 32.56: What is your connection to The Inner Game of Tennis?
  • Performance Equation: Performance = Potential - Interference 
    
• 37.22: Stop saying "I believe in you," instead say: "I know you can do this."
• 38.09: 3 possible interferences:
  • 1) Skill - do they know how to do it (knowledge and confidence). 
  • 2) Environmental - anything outside of the person that impacts their ability to do it. 
  • 3) Aspiration - be careful here because you may get a false positive.
• 40.01: "This is why we focus everything in coaching on behaviors, not mindset. You can get a mindset change from re-engineering from behaviors."
• 41.43: How to start a coaching conversation. "People can't go anywhere if they don't know where they are." Find out what's the real issue here.
• 43.41: Coaching is getting absolute clarity on where they are now, absolute clarity on where they need to be, and working out (at the speed of thought at a sub-conscious level) what they need to do differently to get from here to there.
