In Episode 094, we re-connect with Brett Bartholomew in the final few weeks of 2020 after having first interviewed him just under three years ago. Brett has since expanded his reach, now working with corporations and business clients, in addition to his regular work with athletes, throughout the year. We talk a lot about the concept of coaching and communicating in modern times, dealing with adverse scenarios and maintaining high quality contact with all clients. We also discuss the concept of maintaining compliance of our interventions so that any positive changes are durable and last the test of time. The sustainability of buy-in is important for longevity of both performance and health. And, finally, we identify the key qualities that separate ourselves from other coaching experts in the world, as there is no shortage of experts these days. How do we continue to remain unique, genuine and effective on a daily basis? These are all important issues when we find ourselves in the business of improvement.
