So anyway, I love all of this training as a parent just as much as a professional.
I don't know how much international work you do, but do you find change based on the geography someone's grown up in, like a German person who's working on public speaking versus someone who's French or Korean, how that impacts those five P's?
So important. What do you see as the bigger challenges as it relates to vocal, not just vocal variety, but speaking in general for salespeople? What are some of the common concepts you end up leaning into the most with people who are in that profession?
That's great. That's a great technician way to look and reverse engineer successful communication. You have this engineer mind about you that's allowed you to extrapolate the tools to make someone a good speaker.
Yeah, I love that. And I'd have to include this question because I think of sales and acting and how they're similar in so many ways. In sales, I'm very clear, you have a sales script. There's a purpose in remembering it because the words do matter to an extent, but not so much to the extent that it affects the emotion of the conversation. In acting, this is the part in the world I don't know.
And so I would love your thoughts. I don't know how often the director is so hard on getting the exact words where you have to get caught up in the words. Or if you don't rehearse enough to know all the paragraphs of information, it creates that trauma cycle of am I saying the right line or if you're allowed to be emotionally engaged.
How does that work in acting and what's your take on scripts versus no scripts in communication? Yeah.
No, I mean, it was great. And you've split up the little pieces of nuggets of wisdom really well. Michael, I hate to even end this interview because I feel like we're just scratching the surface. There's like another three hours in us. Where can everybody go to learn more about your work? Sure.
Wonderful. Well, I will be looking at your resources for sure. And I'm sure a lot of our listeners will be as well. Thank you so much for joining us.
This is your host, Adam Outland. And outside of this podcast, I'm also the leader for a division of our company, Southwestern Consulting, and our division is the Southwestern Student Coaching Program. And that division, we started back in 2020 because the desire we had was to take all these skills that we've equipped executives with for
Over a decade, I've coached executives and managers and sales professionals on the skills, the habits, the motivation, and the systems to be successful in their job and in life.
And what we realized from working with 30, 40, 50 year olds was if we could have gotten to them when they were in ninth grade, in middle school, in high school, and equipped them with the same things we're teaching them now, the ripple effects would be huge. And so back in 2020, we decided to formulate a coaching program for youth
equipping youth with the same types of skill development that we typically work on with adults. We just apply it to their world. And what that looks like is teaching them the study skills, the communication skills that they can use every day in the classroom and outside the classroom, coaching them on the mindset and the motivation of someone who's a top performer And what does that mean?
It means helping a young teenager create and craft a vision for themselves. Because without a vision, we perish. But with a vision, we can be equipped with the motivation to dig into our study habits. We can see the connection between our future and the excellence that we have to form our habits now to be successful in the long run. And we also work on the emotional intelligence.
It's how we balance our emotions and manage those emotions when they come up in a way that allows us to communicate effectively with others and to communicate with ourselves. It's about equipping young people with self-talk. That means equipping them with the language that they can use to better direct their thoughts and their mind to accomplish their goals and their aims.
And lastly, we equip them with the systems. That means for us, the tools, the time management, and the organization strategies to not just work hard in life, but to work smart. And when we combine all these different areas that we work with our teens on, what we find is that they form the habits early in life that allows them to achieve their goals later in life and even right now.
And so our passion is to equip as many young people across this world as we can. And we're doing pretty good so far. We've got teens in seven different countries who have been through our coaching program to date. We've worked with over 400 teens, and we would love to be able to serve you as well. Here's how it works. If you want to investigate coaching, we start with a parent consultation.
That's a free call to discuss your students' particular needs and our program details. We work with Olympic athletes all the way down to teens that are just struggling to motivate themselves to do the daily work necessary in their class. So wherever your teen is, we'll meet them where they are and get them to the next level. And that starts with a parent consultation with you.
A student planning session, that's the next step. If we agree that the value that coaching can bring matches your team, then we will move to a student planning session. It's basically a free one-on-one coaching session with your team. And that is designed to support them, but it's also designed to ask a lot of questions to help explore whether or not they want to be coached.
Because at the end of the day, they ultimately have to be the one that pulls the trigger. And then after your student planning session, we get them paired with the right coach for them. We have an amazing staff of coaches from ex-division one athletes, people who've come from the Ivy League system.
