EPISODE 4 – April 30, 2020

Being a coach and being a speaker are completely different — NOT!  In this week’s clinic, find out why being a coach and a speaker are the same thing and how the end goal is to lead people.  In the clinic last week, the framework of a presentation was spoken of in general terms, but today is about the details of that framework.  More important than this, however, will be learning from Richard how to read your audience and appeal to them in such a way that they are inspired and ready to take action. Through the framework of the Aristotle method, Richard will teach you to balance 3 different constructs of presenting powerfully.  On top of that, stay tuned for an extensive coaching session that will illustrate through others’ experience, a framework for coaching and building your coaching business.

EPISODE 5 – May 7, 2020

The Coaching and Communication Clinic this week is about a singular concept that you must identify and hone to become a better coach and leader.  The concept is IMPACT.  Richard is teaching all of you to become better coaches by helping you to evaluate your quality and power as a coach using the A3 Filter of Approach, Activity, and Action. After understanding how these factors interact with each other inside your coaching business, it is all about how you can create a bigger impact in people’s lives.  Impact will be defined and given a heartbeat as you learn how it moves to inspire people to greater heights, and you will be taught how to be the pillar and spark of that transformation.

EPISODE 6 – May 14, 2020

In this bold coaching clinic, Richard breaks down and elaborates a single powerful skill that each coach must master to be effective – compartmentalization.  You might think it simply means to put cheese in the fridge and tomatoes on the counter, but as a skill and an experience, it is much more than that and will have a profound effect on the quality of your coaching and the interactions with your clients.  Richard will teach you about the phenomenon of your mind moving from present to drift and the adverse effects when it is uncontrolled. Don’t think it has anything to do with compartmentalizing? Think again, because that experience involves keep things in the right place in your mind so you can remain present. On top of that, take detailed notes on how to keep your story out of your client’s story, and a neat technique to help your clients compartmentalize their story, own it, and rewrite it.

EPISODE 7 – May 21, 2020

It may sound crazy, but the communication clinic this week is about listening — AND IT'S EXCITING!  It is actually where new possibilities live.  Richard shines a whole new light on the 3 types of listening and how engaging in two of these types can help you generate confidence for you and your clients. A point that is driven home is that the quality of your mentorship, coaching, and speaking is directly related to the quality of your listening.  Guess what is going to drive you to listen actively to your clients?  Your commitment to them and the results you stand for. In a deep coaching dive, Richard will teach you about a new methodology of listening called Theory U.

It can confirm and amplify your message, or it can beguile and betray your message. Richard will explore 6 different body language ques, and drive home how they affect your speaking, messaging, and appearance to the world through different forms of media.

EPISODE 9 – June 11, 2020

Storyfication. That is the process Richard will talk about today, and it will change the way you think about stories, whether they be tall tales or epic sagas. This clinic will touch upon the 7 major themes that all stories are built upon, and it will also place YOU the coach, as the hero of your own story.  Through this lens it will become clear why the story you tell is important for you and the lasting meaning and impact it can have for your clients. On top of that, the changing world we live in is also changing the way stories exist in the world, and Richard will highlight the shift from the storytelling era to the story-doing era, as well as his 6 step Storyfication process so you can start story-doing.

EPISODE 10 – June 18, 2020

Prepare. Prepare. Prepare. It is one of the most integral qualities you must exercise in order to build your professional Prowess. As Richard will speak to this week, prowess is being fearless, and this stems from preparation.  Walk through a 3-step process with Richard on getting prepared for a presentation whether it is to one or to many people, and learn the two halves of the battle of preparing: what are you prepared to do, and delivering your message.  Inside this clinic, you will become attuned to how being prepared charges up your ability to express yourself no matter what situation arises. Bonus tip: being prepared has a lot to do with the audience.

EPISODE 11 – June 25, 2020

You won’t be able to sustain your coaching business if you aren’t honest and clear about what your goal is for coaching people in the first place. In the communication clinic this week, Richard is going to teach you how to create your purpose for your coaching business, or any other business you own.  The two sections of this week’s lecture are first about legacy — what does it mean, what do you want to leave, and how does it keep you aligned and motivated.  The second half of the lecture is the ‘meat and potatoes’ — creating your purpose.  Ever see somebody who walks with absolute certainty, or they just feel like they have something that you want to emulate? Then you know they are clear about their purpose. Richard is going to guide you through a 4-step exercise to reignite you and realign you with your purpose for coaching.

EPISODE 12 – July 2, 2020

If you thought making an impact as a coach and speaker in the ‘old’ world of in-person training was difficult, the ‘new’ world of digital offers a whole new set of problems.  If we want to create some form of predictability about the future, then we have to be in action because through action we have a good idea of the outcome. This requires commitment to your goals, and to fight through the problems that the digital world presents.  Today is about communicating in the digital world on social media, online conferences, and the lot.   Richard is going to teach you about the 3Ds that you must be committed to beating in the digital medium to get your message to your audience. On top of that, he will explain how the world needs leadership, not more information, and a 4-step formula to have you engage your coaching clients, create new relationships, and be of more value than information.

EPISODE 13 – July 9, 2020

The clinic this week starts off with a special guest appearance by Jeff Bounds, Head of Retail for Grant Cardone, and he shares a message of how he has become successful at sales and speaking through the power of script and roleplay.  Afterwards, Richard has a deep conversation about what is in fact driving you inside the realm of coaching people.  For you coaches out there, Rich puts forth some tough questions that you need to answer for yourself such as “Where are you leading from?” This sets the stage for an even deeper discussion on your stories, your victories, and what is it do you stand for – especially for yourself. Be ready to dive deep and learn the 5 elements that are driving you.

EPISODE 14 – July 16, 2020

There are so many people in the world who are experiencing their first online conference calls and interactions, and this means you have an opportunity to design your experience in the digital world and be impactful to others when they meet you digitally. As Richard will explain in the Communication Clinic this week, “The way people digitally experience you, brands you.”  All you coaches, prepare to learn how to impact people through digital mediums. Prepare yourself to learn how you can make people want to be with you, engage with you, and the importance of a new metric – Hold rate.  Richard is going to discuss a 4-step foundation for success in the digital world, and physical things you need to be aware of to present powerfully and be committed to what you say you stand for.

EPISODE 15 – July 23, 2020

There are two big areas that Richard will speak to this week: 1) contextualizing the coaching business and 2) how to use the instrument God has given us all — our voice.  In what is a masterful piece of precision, Richard will explain why your coaching business comes down to this context — 1. Find out what are massive goals for your client, 2. Find out what is massive action for your client, 3. Stretch them apart so that your service and system bridge the gap, so your client is always growing and becoming a better version of themselves. In the second half, Richie will explain how you can use your voice and your words in a 4-part foundational exercise to make what you say more impactful, thoughtful, and better at establishing a stronger leadership connection with your clients.
