META PERFORMANCE SHOW | From Navy SEAL/Special Warfare Officer, Secretary of Defense policymaker, and purpose-driven tech entrepreneur, Brian Ferguson, comes a robust episode on the art of public speaking, complexity theory, why the pursuit of mastery for achievement alone can feel empty, and the significance of being “in the arena.” A favorite saying of guest Brian’s (a metaphor for the importance of hard work and versatility, but quite literal in his case): “Be able to deadlift in the gym at 6 A.M. and brief the president at 6 P.M.” Brian speaks candidly with host Jason Jaggard about his modest beginnings and lack of “pedigree” compared to his counterparts, how he’s handled past failures, and his #1 characteristic that he believes, above all else, was paramount to his success. Brian’s pioneering healthcare company, Arena Labs (www.arenalabs.global), explores the intersection of technology and high performance.REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODECitizenship in a Republic (The Man in the Arena) - Theodore Roosevelt’s speech at Sorbonne University, Paris, 1910How I Built This - NPR podcast (specifically this episode with Spanx Founder Sara Blakely)Daring Greatly by Brene BrownNatural-Born Cyborgs: Minds, Technologies, and the Future of Human Intelligence by Andy ClarkComplexity Theory and Moore’s LawNovus Global is a tribe of elite executive coaches who work with Fortune 500 Companies, Professional Athletes, World Renowned Artists and Business Leaders to create lives, teams and companies that go beyond high-performance.Book a free consultation with a Novus Global coach here: http://novus.global/now/ This podcast is produced by Rainbow Creative with Matthew Jones as Senior Producer and Jeremy Davidson as Editor and Audio engineer.

ON COACHING | Where do teaching and coaching overlap and how do they differ? Which skills transfer? Many of our team members were educators for years before they decided to become executive coaches. Former teachers/current Novus Global coaches Amanda Jaggard, Laura Leffelaar, Randy Poon, and Joseph Thompson discuss the venn diagram of teaching students and coaching adults. While the disposition required of great coaches and teachers is similar--an unconditional belief in their clients or students--the approach is not the same. The group discusses artificial limits, inquiry-based coaching, and how the ability to impart knowledge effectively in a classroom is a different art than the ability to ask the right open-ended questions to "unleash the genius" in a client. Novus Global is a tribe of elite executive coaches who work with Fortune 500 Companies, Professional Athletes, World Renowned Artists and Business Leaders to create lives, teams and companies that go beyond high-performance.Book a free consultation with a Novus Global coach here: http://novus.global/now/ This podcast is produced by Rainbow Creative with Matthew Jones as Senior Producer and Jeremy Davidson as Editor and Audio engineer.
