1
00:00:01,995 --> 00:00:04,045
- Anthony Sweat has easily become one

2
00:00:04,045 --> 00:00:06,285
of my favorite BYU
professors to interview.

3
00:00:06,515 --> 00:00:08,045
He's been on the podcast several times,

4
00:00:08,265 --> 00:00:11,565
and he also has a remarkable
presentation about ambiguity

5
00:00:11,565 --> 00:00:14,485
of doctrine in our Questioning
Saints virtual library,

6
00:00:14,825 --> 00:00:17,525
he discusses healthy and
unhealthy ways we approach

7
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:20,525
doctrine, how to help others
reconcile doctrine they find

8
00:00:20,525 --> 00:00:21,565
difficult to believe,

9
00:00:21,575 --> 00:00:23,925
especially when we don't
know much about it.

10
00:00:24,185 --> 00:00:26,805
You can watch Professor
Sweat's entire interview in the

11
00:00:27,005 --> 00:00:29,085
Questioning Saints Library by going

12
00:00:29,085 --> 00:00:31,325
to leading saints.org/fourteen.

13
00:00:31,555 --> 00:00:34,125
This will give you access
for 14 days at no cost

14
00:00:34,305 --> 00:00:35,485
to watch this presentation.

15
00:00:35,705 --> 00:00:38,445
You'll be better prepared
as a leader when you do.

16
00:00:42,405 --> 00:00:45,165
I got an email the other day
from an individual, I forget

17
00:00:45,165 --> 00:00:46,885
where he is in the
world, but he says, Kurt,

18
00:00:47,045 --> 00:00:48,125
I love Leading Saints,

19
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:51,405
and I listen to it every
time I'm on the treadmill.

20
00:00:51,705 --> 00:00:53,925
And then one time during
an interview, he heard

21
00:00:54,275 --> 00:00:56,525
that Leading Saints has a YouTube channel,

22
00:00:56,905 --> 00:00:59,805
and like all the interviews,
at least the vast majority

23
00:00:59,805 --> 00:01:01,885
of them are video recorded.

24
00:01:01,945 --> 00:01:04,165
And you can watch the video recording

25
00:01:04,185 --> 00:01:05,845
of the podcast episodes.

26
00:01:05,845 --> 00:01:07,765
And I'm like, yeah, man, get on there.

27
00:01:07,785 --> 00:01:10,125
Go subscribe on YouTube's Leading Saints,

28
00:01:10,125 --> 00:01:12,365
and you can get a visual of the interview

29
00:01:12,465 --> 00:01:14,765
and not just an audio experience.

30
00:01:15,145 --> 00:01:17,205
And even if you're not a big YouTube

31
00:01:17,355 --> 00:01:18,725
user, uh, do us a favor.

32
00:01:18,965 --> 00:01:20,965

and, uh, expose our content to individuals

34
00:01:24,525 --> 00:01:26,925
who could really benefit from
IT leaders around the world.

35
00:01:27,025 --> 00:01:29,565

a more reach dial in the algorithm.

42

And, uh, we'll start
showing up on Leaders feeds

43
00:01:46,245 --> 00:01:48,365
that they didn't know
how much they're missing

44
00:01:48,395 --> 00:01:49,605

48
00:02:01,665 --> 00:02:03,925
So this is an episode
that's really applicable.

49
00:02:03,925 --> 00:02:05,085
At least I feel that way. I,

50
00:02:05,165 --> 00:02:07,965
I walked away feeling
like I feel more empowered

51
00:02:08,305 --> 00:02:12,365
as a leader, as a parent, as
a husband is as a ward member.

52
00:02:13,025 --> 00:02:15,485
And I talk with Jared
Olson and Matt Brown.

53
00:02:15,485 --> 00:02:18,485
In this episode, we talk
about a coaching system,

54
00:02:19,165 --> 00:02:20,885
a framework called Respect.

55
00:02:21,065 --> 00:02:24,205
And it, uh, is built up of
seven different coaching styles.

56
00:02:24,465 --> 00:02:25,605
And I've really liked this approach.

57
00:02:25,605 --> 00:02:28,725
It really gives you a
fresh look about maybe

58
00:02:28,745 --> 00:02:32,565
how you're approaching the
relationships that you, uh,

59
00:02:32,715 --> 00:02:35,765
have in, in, in leadership,
uh, the meetings you run

60
00:02:35,785 --> 00:02:36,805
and how you run them.

61
00:02:36,955 --> 00:02:39,685
Because I remember as a
leader, there's just sort of

62
00:02:39,685 --> 00:02:43,085
that awkwardness at times of
like, how we've met before.

63
00:02:43,455 --> 00:02:46,365
We've done this ministering
interview just a few months ago.

64
00:02:46,825 --> 00:02:48,965
Or weren't you just in my bishop's office?

65
00:02:49,035 --> 00:02:51,165
What am I supposed to say
to you? How can I help you?

66
00:02:51,605 --> 00:02:54,325
I feel like I've given
everything I've got to help you.

67
00:02:54,745 --> 00:02:55,885
So what do I say? Well,

68
00:02:56,185 --> 00:02:58,245
we talk about these seven coaching styles

69
00:02:58,245 --> 00:02:59,645
and how you can maybe mix it up

70
00:02:59,645 --> 00:03:02,885
and find deeper, more profound ways

71
00:03:03,465 --> 00:03:06,125
of approaching problems
or issues that people face

72
00:03:06,185 --> 00:03:08,565
and they turn to church leaders for that.

73
00:03:08,665 --> 00:03:10,845
Or even with ministering
interviews, right?

74
00:03:10,845 --> 00:03:12,845
Like sometimes you don't
know what to say, <laugh>,

75
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:14,405
you know, how are your family's doing?

76
00:03:14,535 --> 00:03:18,205
Great. Check this one off
as done and move on. Right?

77
00:03:18,225 --> 00:03:22,445
But maybe there's more we can
discover both for you as the,

78
00:03:22,505 --> 00:03:26,405
the coach or the interviewer,
and also for the coachee

79
00:03:26,405 --> 00:03:30,405
or the interviewee of just
of ways we ask questions

80
00:03:30,425 --> 00:03:31,805
and approach different conversations.

81
00:03:31,805 --> 00:03:34,685
And so we go through these
seven styles of coaching

82
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:37,845
that are all part of the
respect coaching framework

83
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:40,085
and, uh, really applicable,
I think for leaders.

84
00:03:40,305 --> 00:03:42,685
You'll enjoy it. Take
notes, listen to this.

85
00:03:42,685 --> 00:03:46,165
Again, share it with a leader
that you love and respect

86
00:03:46,465 --> 00:03:47,965
and who could possibly use this.

87
00:03:47,985 --> 00:03:51,125
So here's my interview with
Jared Olson and Matt Brown.

88
00:04:01,905 --> 00:04:03,325
All right, welcome back to another episode

89
00:04:03,325 --> 00:04:04,725
of the Leading Saints podcast.

90
00:04:04,975 --> 00:04:09,085
Today I'm welcoming in Jared
Olson and Matt Brown. Welcome.

91
00:04:09,195 --> 00:04:10,845
Well, thank you very
much. Yeah, it's great.

92
00:04:10,845 --> 00:04:13,445
It's great to be here. You
guys are like a dynamic duo at

93
00:04:13,445 --> 00:04:15,685
the job, Nimbus, so that's
the company you work for.

94
00:04:15,795 --> 00:04:17,605
That absolutely is. We'll
give 'em a little plug, right?

95
00:04:17,635 --> 00:04:19,405
Heck yeah. They're awesome. That's great.

96
00:04:19,405 --> 00:04:22,165
We love Job Nimbus <laugh>. So,
and that's it based in Utah.

97
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:24,925
Utah County. I mean, the world
revolves around Utah County,

98
00:04:25,025 --> 00:04:26,685
you know, one of those software companies

99
00:04:26,785 --> 00:04:28,845
and Lehigh Utah, heart
of the Silicon Slopes.

100
00:04:29,225 --> 00:04:31,045
That's nice. And how would you,

101
00:04:31,715 --> 00:04:32,845
Matt will let you answer this.

102
00:04:32,845 --> 00:04:35,045
Okay. How would you describe
your positions there?

103
00:04:35,075 --> 00:04:36,445
Like what, what do you try to accomplish?

104
00:04:37,315 --> 00:04:38,805
- Well, we're on the people team,

105
00:04:38,945 --> 00:04:40,765
so our job is to take care of the people.

106
00:04:41,225 --> 00:04:43,965
- So is that just like a, a
modern way of saying HR or

107
00:04:44,105 --> 00:04:45,105
- Oh yeah.

108
00:04:45,105 --> 00:04:45,965
Don't say hr. That's bad. Yeah.

109
00:04:45,965 --> 00:04:49,045
Because humans are not
resources. They're people. That's

110
00:04:49,045 --> 00:04:50,045
- Right.

111
00:04:50,045 --> 00:04:50,605
Yeah. So the people team, yeah,

112
00:04:50,605 --> 00:04:51,605
- Cool.

113
00:04:51,605 --> 00:04:53,885
People experience px, you
know, because X's are cool.

114
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:56,885
Ask Ilan, he'll tell
you <laugh>. But yeah.

115
00:04:56,885 --> 00:05:00,525
That, that's our job. So, uh,
Jared's the, he leads our team

116
00:05:00,585 --> 00:05:03,485
and, and my role is I'm the
people success coach. Nice.

117
00:05:04,005 --> 00:05:07,605
- Anything you'd add to that,
Jared? We just love helping

118
00:05:07,605 --> 00:05:09,205
people wherever they're at

119
00:05:09,265 --> 00:05:10,565
and become the best version of themself.

120
00:05:10,565 --> 00:05:12,285
Like culture is everything to us,

121
00:05:12,625 --> 00:05:13,925
and it starts with leaders.

122
00:05:14,265 --> 00:05:16,845
So we spend a lot of time
doing leadership development

123
00:05:16,945 --> 00:05:19,325
and trying to help people
achieve their full potential.

124
00:05:19,325 --> 00:05:20,925
Yeah. And culture. That's really at the

125
00:05:20,925 --> 00:05:22,045
core of what we wanna talk about.

126
00:05:22,045 --> 00:05:23,525
We, when you're talking about coaching,

127
00:05:23,815 --> 00:05:25,925
we're really talking about
how do we develop a culture?

128
00:05:26,625 --> 00:05:28,845
You know, you're coaching the
culture through people, right?

129
00:05:28,845 --> 00:05:30,685
Yeah, exactly. And the, the culture, when

130
00:05:30,685 --> 00:05:33,125
that's established in a
healthy way, then a lot

131
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:34,285
of the hard work is already done.

132
00:05:34,545 --> 00:05:36,165
So I'll tell you my favorite
definition of culture.

133
00:05:36,225 --> 00:05:38,565
Oh, let's hear it. So culture is actually,

134
00:05:38,625 --> 00:05:41,365
if you cha chase back to the
origins of the word, it's Latin

135
00:05:41,625 --> 00:05:43,885
for the word cultus, C-U-L-T-U-S.

136
00:05:43,915 --> 00:05:47,165
Okay. If you translate
cultus back into English,

137
00:05:47,265 --> 00:05:48,565
it translates into care.

138
00:05:48,945 --> 00:05:50,365
So when you talk about building a culture,

139
00:05:50,425 --> 00:05:51,685
you're really talking about caring

140
00:05:51,735 --> 00:05:52,965
about people that work with you.

141
00:05:52,965 --> 00:05:54,845
Yeah. Nice. Pretty good,
right? There you go.

142
00:05:55,085 --> 00:05:58,965
I love a good, uh, root
translation, <laugh>. Awesome.

143
00:05:59,115 --> 00:06:01,805
Well, uh, and we were connected
through a mutual friend,

144
00:06:01,825 --> 00:06:04,885
and, and I was first connected
to you, Jared, about just

145
00:06:04,885 --> 00:06:06,685
how your, just some thoughts you have

146
00:06:06,685 --> 00:06:08,445
around coaching and how you approach it.

147
00:06:08,465 --> 00:06:10,885
And it's got a lot of,
I think, helpful tips

148
00:06:10,905 --> 00:06:13,525
and tricks that maybe church
leaders would appreciate,

149
00:06:13,525 --> 00:06:16,405
because in church leadership,
you find yourself in

150
00:06:16,405 --> 00:06:18,365
that coaching position or you're avoiding

151
00:06:18,365 --> 00:06:19,685
those coaching interactions.

152
00:06:20,145 --> 00:06:22,285
And then it's not like, I think
we think of coaching, like,

153
00:06:22,345 --> 00:06:23,725
you know, obviously in a sports context,

154
00:06:23,865 --> 00:06:25,365
but also like, okay, we're sitting down,

155
00:06:25,465 --> 00:06:27,725
I'm now coaching you,
but it can happen in the

156
00:06:27,725 --> 00:06:29,245
most nuanced ways, right?

157
00:06:29,355 --> 00:06:31,165
Yeah. Any, like, like

158
00:06:31,165 --> 00:06:33,605
how would you maybe define
coaching in general?

159
00:06:33,745 --> 00:06:34,805
Or what are we talking about?

160
00:06:35,525 --> 00:06:37,565
- I think every conversation
has the potential

161
00:06:37,565 --> 00:06:40,605
to be a coaching conversation,
really, just depending on

162
00:06:41,305 --> 00:06:43,005
how you interact with the other person.

163
00:06:43,145 --> 00:06:45,565
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> to me,
coaching is about asking a lot

164
00:06:45,565 --> 00:06:47,045
of questions and helping the person

165
00:06:47,045 --> 00:06:48,605
through a self-discovery process.

166
00:06:48,905 --> 00:06:52,445
And, and that really can
be any conversation. Yeah.

167
00:06:52,485 --> 00:06:54,285
Every conversation can be a coaching,

168
00:06:54,665 --> 00:06:56,005
an opportunity for coaching goals.

169
00:06:56,325 --> 00:06:57,885
- I think a big myth is that it's only

170
00:06:57,885 --> 00:07:01,565
between like a manager and
a direct report or a bishop

171
00:07:01,745 --> 00:07:03,125
and a member of the congregation.

172
00:07:03,125 --> 00:07:04,805
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. And it's
not true. Like when you talk

173
00:07:04,805 --> 00:07:06,365
to your kids, when you talk
to your spouse, when you talk

174
00:07:06,365 --> 00:07:07,365
to your best friend, your neighbor,

175
00:07:07,865 --> 00:07:09,965
anyone is a coaching opportunity. Yeah.

176
00:07:10,035 --> 00:07:13,165
- Awesome. So give us
a launching point here.

177
00:07:13,165 --> 00:07:14,925
Like what, what do we need to, what Yeah.

178
00:07:14,925 --> 00:07:16,005
Groundwork do we need to lay

179
00:07:16,005 --> 00:07:17,645
before we really jump
into the conversation?

180
00:07:17,785 --> 00:07:20,805
- So Matt and I are both
certified in respect coaching

181
00:07:20,805 --> 00:07:23,445
styles, respect coaching
styles is actually something

182
00:07:23,445 --> 00:07:26,405
that is the brainchild
of Dr. David Morelli.

183
00:07:26,945 --> 00:07:30,165
Dr. Morelli, uh, got his
doctorate, uh, in Colorado,

184
00:07:30,235 --> 00:07:32,445
then went on to, did a
little bit at, at Harvard

185
00:07:33,145 --> 00:07:35,845
and created a company that
does executive coaching.

186
00:07:36,225 --> 00:07:38,765
And his dissertation for his doctorate was

187
00:07:38,765 --> 00:07:41,245
to really identify what he calls the cloud

188
00:07:41,245 --> 00:07:42,325
of confidentiality.

189
00:07:42,865 --> 00:07:44,725
So if you think in like
a church context, imagine

190
00:07:44,725 --> 00:07:48,005
that you are a relief
society president going into

191
00:07:48,165 --> 00:07:49,165
somebody's house to meet with them.

192
00:07:49,165 --> 00:07:50,165
One-on-one, right?

193
00:07:50,225 --> 00:07:52,365
To provide an opportunity
to give some coaching.

194
00:07:52,465 --> 00:07:53,965
Or you're a bishop,
somebody comes into the

195
00:07:53,965 --> 00:07:55,085
office and wants to talk to you.

196
00:07:56,005 --> 00:07:59,525
A lot of people leave those
conversations better, right?

197
00:07:59,585 --> 00:08:02,565
And they're feeling rejuvenated
and excited. And what Dr.

198
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:05,005
Marelli wanted to figure
out is what happens in

199
00:08:05,005 --> 00:08:06,365
that cloud of confidentiality?

200
00:08:06,715 --> 00:08:08,285
What is actually discussed?

201
00:08:08,505 --> 00:08:10,205
How does that help the person level up?

202
00:08:10,665 --> 00:08:12,645
And so he did a lot of research

203
00:08:12,945 --> 00:08:15,605
and the result of what he figured out is

204
00:08:15,605 --> 00:08:17,405
that there's seven
different coaching styles,

205
00:08:18,265 --> 00:08:20,205
and it all comes from this framework.

206
00:08:20,385 --> 00:08:22,925
And the framework begins with, um, kind

207
00:08:22,925 --> 00:08:25,765
of big term aggregating
contextual considerations.

208
00:08:26,345 --> 00:08:27,725
The other way that I
think about that is just

209
00:08:27,725 --> 00:08:28,805
emotional intelligence.

210
00:08:28,805 --> 00:08:30,685
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.
So if you are a bishop

211
00:08:31,145 --> 00:08:34,445
and a youth comes in to
meet with you, one-on-one

212
00:08:34,865 --> 00:08:36,005
for a scheduled appointment

213
00:08:36,005 --> 00:08:38,245
that you maybe weren't planning on, Kurt,

214
00:08:38,245 --> 00:08:39,245
what's something you think maybe

215
00:08:39,245 --> 00:08:41,485
that youth might want to talk
to the bishop about? Maybe

216
00:08:41,515 --> 00:08:45,565
- Some struggles with school
or his, their friends. Yeah.

217
00:08:45,595 --> 00:08:47,485
- Perfect. Right. So very quickly,

218
00:08:47,715 --> 00:08:48,765
what do I know about this person?

219
00:08:48,915 --> 00:08:50,725
They're in school, they've got friends,

220
00:08:50,725 --> 00:08:51,765
that's their life right now.

221
00:08:52,025 --> 00:08:53,645
So you were in that amount of time able

222
00:08:53,645 --> 00:08:55,365
to say they probably wanna
talk about their friends.

223
00:08:55,945 --> 00:08:58,805
So you start with that, and
then you pick a coaching style

224
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:01,045
and we'll kind of run through
those coaching styles are,

225
00:09:01,465 --> 00:09:04,005
but then you see how
does the coachee respond?

226
00:09:04,425 --> 00:09:05,885
And then you loop back to the beginning

227
00:09:05,985 --> 00:09:09,045
and say, how can I adjust my
coaching style by the questions

228
00:09:09,045 --> 00:09:11,885
that I asked or which format
that I'm actually using to help

229
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:12,965
that coachee along.

230
00:09:13,315 --> 00:09:14,885
There's a lot of frameworks out there.

231
00:09:14,885 --> 00:09:17,645
Like Matt is certified in
Clifton Strength Finders. Mm-Hmm.

232
00:09:17,685 --> 00:09:20,805
<affirmative>. And, uh,
there is, uh, Myers-Briggs

233
00:09:20,805 --> 00:09:22,845
and disc analysis, and there's
all these things out there

234
00:09:22,915 --> 00:09:25,325
that help you as a coach know who you are.

235
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:28,045
But this is the first framework
that we've ever heard of

236
00:09:28,045 --> 00:09:30,405
that actually helps guide
you through the course

237
00:09:30,425 --> 00:09:31,445
of the conversation.

238
00:09:31,745 --> 00:09:34,485
Gotcha. Um, and so you tailor the needs

239
00:09:34,705 --> 00:09:35,885
to what the coachee needs.

240
00:09:36,265 --> 00:09:38,725
- Gotcha. So, and this is,
so it's not necessarily,

241
00:09:39,025 --> 00:09:41,645
you know, you mentioned these
like personality assessments,

242
00:09:41,945 --> 00:09:44,685
that's a part of it, but
like, I've always struggled

243
00:09:44,685 --> 00:09:45,925
with personality assessments and,

244
00:09:46,025 --> 00:09:47,365
and there's some people, like, I think,

245
00:09:47,425 --> 00:09:48,565
and it's probably a majority of people,

246
00:09:48,565 --> 00:09:51,125
they just love a good
personality assessment.

247
00:09:51,445 --> 00:09:52,845
<laugh>, you know, they'll
talk about where they're at

248
00:09:52,845 --> 00:09:54,485
and they'll do the test
and they'll do the things.

249
00:09:54,945 --> 00:09:56,965
But I'm always like, I get it.

250
00:09:57,025 --> 00:09:59,525
But what, it's hard, like
the application of like,

251
00:09:59,525 --> 00:10:01,005
what am I supposed to do that with

252
00:10:01,005 --> 00:10:02,845
that in the context of a conversation.

253
00:10:02,865 --> 00:10:04,885
And so what you, what it sounds
like you're saying is this

254
00:10:04,885 --> 00:10:07,645
sort of moves you to that
of like, regardless of

255
00:10:07,645 --> 00:10:09,885
where they are on those
personality assessments,

256
00:10:10,145 --> 00:10:12,285
here's some things to do in conversation

257
00:10:12,285 --> 00:10:14,485
or in that coaching interaction to Yeah.

258
00:10:14,665 --> 00:10:16,925
To move things along, right? Yeah. Yeah.

259
00:10:17,185 --> 00:10:19,125
- And there is an assessment
portion, you know,

260
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:20,605
we can assess where people are at,

261
00:10:21,225 --> 00:10:23,525
but what I will typically
tell people was I'm reviewing

262
00:10:23,525 --> 00:10:25,965
their assessment is from this moment on,

263
00:10:26,115 --> 00:10:28,965
this assessment is really
not, not valid anymore

264
00:10:29,155 --> 00:10:31,565
because let's say they were
low in a particular style.

265
00:10:32,145 --> 00:10:35,085
If I then coach 'em in that
style, then they're better. Mm.

266
00:10:35,505 --> 00:10:37,805
And then their assessment the next day

267
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,525
would be completely different. Yeah. So,

268
00:10:39,785 --> 00:10:40,925
- And these coaching styles,

269
00:10:40,925 --> 00:10:43,765
and you gimme a cheat sheet
here, so there's seven of them.

270
00:10:43,905 --> 00:10:46,245
Yep. Right? And these
aren't necessarily like

271
00:10:46,245 --> 00:10:47,405
personalities, no.

272
00:10:47,405 --> 00:10:49,805
Things where it's like
you are a red personality

273
00:10:49,865 --> 00:10:51,845
and that's just who you
are and deal with it.

274
00:10:51,865 --> 00:10:53,645
And when I talk with you, I need

275
00:10:53,645 --> 00:10:55,045
to talk to you as a red person.

276
00:10:55,045 --> 00:10:59,445
Right. But this is more for
the, this is just depending on

277
00:10:59,445 --> 00:11:00,765
where they're at the circumstances.

278
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:03,085
Yeah. You may bounce around
to the different styles Yeah.

279
00:11:03,085 --> 00:11:05,685
Where personality can't suddenly
change your personality.

280
00:11:06,065 --> 00:11:07,085
- And, and you know, one of the things

281
00:11:07,085 --> 00:11:08,645
that we love about the savior is

282
00:11:08,645 --> 00:11:09,685
that he was the master coach.

283
00:11:09,715 --> 00:11:11,405
Yeah. He was the one that used all

284
00:11:11,405 --> 00:11:13,645
of these styles when the coachee needed

285
00:11:13,645 --> 00:11:14,845
it, how they needed it.

286
00:11:15,345 --> 00:11:17,805
And so I think there's a
lot to kind of unpack in

287
00:11:17,805 --> 00:11:19,605
how are we becoming better
coaches. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>,

288
00:11:20,205 --> 00:11:21,045
- Anything else as far as the

289
00:11:21,045 --> 00:11:22,405
foundation of where this came from?

290
00:11:22,795 --> 00:11:24,205
What we need to understand,

291
00:11:24,905 --> 00:11:29,285
and this is like the, so
respect is that's the, like one.

292
00:11:29,905 --> 00:11:32,365
How would you, you
frame it? Like one style

293
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:34,565
or one program or what,
how would you frame

294
00:11:34,565 --> 00:11:35,565
- It?

295
00:11:35,565 --> 00:11:36,325
I'd say it's a framework,
right? It's a framework.

296
00:11:36,435 --> 00:11:37,925
It's the framework that
will help make sure

297
00:11:37,925 --> 00:11:40,005
that you're using the
different coaching styles

298
00:11:40,005 --> 00:11:42,045
that the coaching needs
at that time. Yeah. And

299
00:11:42,105 --> 00:11:43,925
- Thi this framework isn't necessarily,

300
00:11:44,305 --> 00:11:46,525
or maybe it is like as
far as like this is,

301
00:11:46,725 --> 00:11:48,485
'cause I think of like CBT, right?

302
00:11:48,485 --> 00:11:51,365
Like cognitive behavioral
therapy, therapy coaching. Yeah.

303
00:11:51,365 --> 00:11:54,125
Yeah. Like there's sort of
this, this framework you go

304
00:11:54,125 --> 00:11:55,645
through regardless of the, the issue.

305
00:11:55,645 --> 00:11:57,765
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. And
this isn't necessarily a

306
00:11:57,765 --> 00:12:01,045
framework of go to step A,
step B, step C, right? Correct.

307
00:12:01,045 --> 00:12:03,285
- Right. So, so maybe we should
like jump into the styles.

308
00:12:03,285 --> 00:12:04,205
Let's do it and then we can tell,

309
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:05,485
and then, uh, we can give you some

310
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:06,365
- Coaching. All right.

311
00:12:06,585 --> 00:12:07,885
- All right. It
- Always happens to me.

312
00:12:08,085 --> 00:12:09,365
I guess I'm the host. Alright.

313
00:12:09,365 --> 00:12:11,445
- Yeah. You are price, you pay.

314
00:12:12,105 --> 00:12:13,525
- Uh, so where do we begin?

315
00:12:13,855 --> 00:12:15,965
- Let's start with
rally here. Let's, okay,

316
00:12:16,105 --> 00:12:18,965
so rally's the first r
there's only one R in

317
00:12:18,965 --> 00:12:20,325
respect. So I should

318
00:12:20,465 --> 00:12:22,965
- The one, and - I should have
known that already, <laugh>,

319
00:12:23,745 --> 00:12:25,565
but the rally style is the driver.

320
00:12:25,825 --> 00:12:29,005
So I like to always think about
rally is like someone's in a

321
00:12:29,005 --> 00:12:30,965
rally car, what pushes them forward.

322
00:12:31,155 --> 00:12:35,565
Okay. So rally or is setting
goals, setting measurables.

323
00:12:36,075 --> 00:12:38,645
It's what puts gas in the tank
to move the coachee forward.

324
00:12:39,185 --> 00:12:41,045
So a lot of times I'll use rally

325
00:12:41,065 --> 00:12:42,685
or kind of towards the
end of a conversation,

326
00:12:43,005 --> 00:12:44,965
somebody comes in with
a problem and we set,

327
00:12:44,985 --> 00:12:47,245
we talk about it and figure out the plan.

328
00:12:47,305 --> 00:12:50,045
And then we set these, we
set a a goal, right? Mm-Hmm.

329
00:12:50,085 --> 00:12:52,045
<affirmative>. So rally your
type questions would be,

330
00:12:52,625 --> 00:12:54,965
what's the first step you
need to do to accomplish this?

331
00:12:55,665 --> 00:12:56,925
You know, when do you wanna have this

332
00:12:56,925 --> 00:12:58,165
particular thing done by?

333
00:12:58,705 --> 00:12:59,725
What's the metric?

334
00:12:59,725 --> 00:13:01,765
What, what do you wanna
measure based on this,

335
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,165
this plan that you have?

336
00:13:03,785 --> 00:13:05,765
And the rally is, is
kind of the motivator,

337
00:13:05,765 --> 00:13:06,805
the driver, right.

338
00:13:07,625 --> 00:13:09,805
To keep people, keep the
coaching moving forward.

339
00:13:09,805 --> 00:13:12,765
- Gotcha. And so this
isn't, uh, necessarily

340
00:13:12,835 --> 00:13:15,085
that you're speaking overly
positive about things.

341
00:13:15,085 --> 00:13:17,085
Like you can do it like
don't down. It can be

342
00:13:17,085 --> 00:13:18,085
- Don't get down.

343
00:13:18,085 --> 00:13:19,045
Okay. It certainly can be. Yeah.

344
00:13:19,625 --> 00:13:22,605
And that it, those would be
rally or type statements,

345
00:13:23,425 --> 00:13:25,605
but it's really about
that driving force, right?

346
00:13:25,985 --> 00:13:29,245
So like rally is, uh, you know, I like

347
00:13:29,245 --> 00:13:31,525
to think about the race
car side of it and it's,

348
00:13:31,725 --> 00:13:32,885
'cause I like race cars.

349
00:13:32,965 --> 00:13:34,085
I think they're, you know, but,

350
00:13:34,305 --> 00:13:35,765
but it could be the cheerleader, right?

351
00:13:36,025 --> 00:13:38,285
Hey, I'm rallying you
up. Hey, it's okay. Yeah.

352
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:40,565
You got this, let's go. Yeah. Right. And

353
00:13:40,565 --> 00:13:41,525
- Would you almost say that's almost

354
00:13:41,525 --> 00:13:42,405
like a default position?

355
00:13:42,405 --> 00:13:44,245
Like when someone comes
to you and they're down

356
00:13:44,265 --> 00:13:45,525
or they're frustrated, it's like,

357
00:13:45,695 --> 00:13:46,925
cheer up there, you like, you

358
00:13:47,225 --> 00:13:48,225
- Do great.

359
00:13:48,225 --> 00:13:49,525
Totally. You know what,
that totally depends. Right?

360
00:13:49,745 --> 00:13:52,765
So I like the idea of the, the
bishop speaking to a youth.

361
00:13:52,785 --> 00:13:56,045
If the youth comes in and sit
sits down and is fine Right.

362
00:13:56,065 --> 00:13:58,165
Or appears to be fine. Right.

363
00:13:58,905 --> 00:14:02,485
You might not pick rally or,
or you know, if they come in

364
00:14:02,485 --> 00:14:05,485
and then they start talking
about transgression Mm-Hmm.

365
00:14:05,525 --> 00:14:07,285
<affirmative>, you're not
necessarily gonna say, Hey,

366
00:14:07,285 --> 00:14:09,485
you got this, you're gonna,
you can overcome this.

367
00:14:09,705 --> 00:14:12,405
It might be the understanding part, right?

368
00:14:12,475 --> 00:14:15,605
Like, Hey, you're, you're
right. You are imperfect.

369
00:14:15,605 --> 00:14:17,045
That's part of the plan.
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

370
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:20,405
But the savior's perfect and
he'll, he'll help you. Right?

371
00:14:20,585 --> 00:14:22,125
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. So yeah, it just,

372
00:14:22,225 --> 00:14:23,845
it really just depends on

373
00:14:24,315 --> 00:14:25,765
what the coaching needs in the moment.

374
00:14:26,085 --> 00:14:28,045
- I think like FSY to
kind of your point though,

375
00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:30,045
like if you were to go to
that, those are probably very

376
00:14:30,055 --> 00:14:32,045
rally presentations, right?

377
00:14:32,425 --> 00:14:34,165
You got this, you'd be a great youth.

378
00:14:34,385 --> 00:14:37,725
Go and deliver what you can.
Nephi said, I will go and do.

379
00:14:37,935 --> 00:14:41,525
Right. That's a very rally
your comment about like moving

380
00:14:41,555 --> 00:14:43,365
forward and making progress.

381
00:14:43,365 --> 00:14:44,365
- Yeah. And you, you mentioned something

382
00:14:44,365 --> 00:14:45,165
that's really interesting.

383
00:14:45,165 --> 00:14:49,085
So it's not necessarily like
a person is coaching style

384
00:14:49,085 --> 00:14:51,565
for a person, but it could
be an event like FSY Yeah.

385
00:14:51,565 --> 00:14:54,245
Or even how sacrament meetings
run or elders quo, right?

386
00:14:54,245 --> 00:14:56,405
Like even these, and obviously people

387
00:14:56,585 --> 00:14:57,605
create these events, right?

388
00:14:57,605 --> 00:14:59,765
Yeah. So they're, they
sort of pass on this,

389
00:15:00,265 --> 00:15:03,405
the certain coaching style
through these events. Well, and

390
00:15:03,405 --> 00:15:05,005
- It kind of depends on the coach, right?

391
00:15:05,005 --> 00:15:06,325
Yeah. Because if you go to FSY,

392
00:15:06,325 --> 00:15:07,565
you might have somebody who's gonna,

393
00:15:07,565 --> 00:15:09,445
you're gonna sob, right?

394
00:15:09,445 --> 00:15:10,885
Yeah. Goes, I, this is amazing.

395
00:15:11,045 --> 00:15:12,725
I feel the spirit and all of that. Right.

396
00:15:13,075 --> 00:15:15,365
That might be more of a
confidant, like hearing

397
00:15:15,625 --> 00:15:16,845
how you were feeling at that time.

398
00:15:16,995 --> 00:15:19,565
Were the rally is the one
that gets you like stoked.

399
00:15:19,565 --> 00:15:20,845
Like, oh, I can do this.

400
00:15:21,055 --> 00:15:22,765
Let's, I'm gonna go give out 10 book

401
00:15:22,765 --> 00:15:23,845
of Mormons this week at school.

402
00:15:23,855 --> 00:15:25,365
Right. Or whatever it might be. Yeah.

403
00:15:25,475 --> 00:15:27,645
- Yeah. And I'm just thinking
all the ministering interviews

404
00:15:27,785 --> 00:15:30,565
or, uh, the award mission leader, uh,

405
00:15:30,565 --> 00:15:32,645
sometimes he comes in hard
with the rally or Right.

406
00:15:32,645 --> 00:15:33,725
Like, come on, you got

407
00:15:33,725 --> 00:15:34,725
- This.

408
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:36,645
And, and the coach's like,
I don't need that right now.

409
00:15:36,965 --> 00:15:38,685
I need something else.
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

410
00:15:39,145 --> 00:15:40,885
The next one is the educator.

411
00:15:41,505 --> 00:15:43,325
So when I think about general conference,

412
00:15:43,515 --> 00:15:46,725
general conference is like
a hundred percent educator.

413
00:15:46,785 --> 00:15:49,005
Mm. Educator is kind of a lecture.

414
00:15:49,715 --> 00:15:52,645
It's, I'm gonna teach you
something or fill a skill

415
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:53,805
or knowledge gap.

416
00:15:54,065 --> 00:15:55,845
So there's some knowledge
you don't currently have.

417
00:15:56,025 --> 00:15:58,205
Let me teach that knowledge to you. Right.

418
00:15:58,825 --> 00:16:02,125
And that's what general
conferences, Hey, we went as, uh,

419
00:16:02,315 --> 00:16:04,085
general authorities, we prayed about this.

420
00:16:04,185 --> 00:16:06,285
We asked the lord, here's
the inspiration we received,

421
00:16:06,425 --> 00:16:09,205
and we want to teach you
what his will is today.

422
00:16:09,665 --> 00:16:11,005
And it's about teaching people.

423
00:16:11,665 --> 00:16:15,805
So educators, really helpful
for people who, for a coachee

424
00:16:15,905 --> 00:16:17,045
who doesn't have knowledge

425
00:16:17,065 --> 00:16:18,965
and is looking for that
knowledge from somebody else.

426
00:16:19,075 --> 00:16:23,045
Yeah. So like in parenting,
great examples of, Hey, I,

427
00:16:23,235 --> 00:16:25,605
your kid comes and says, I
was put in this situation

428
00:16:25,605 --> 00:16:27,405
or scenario, the parent then comes

429
00:16:27,405 --> 00:16:28,765
and says, well, let me teach you about

430
00:16:28,765 --> 00:16:30,285
how I have dealt with that in the past.

431
00:16:31,025 --> 00:16:33,125
Or what have you learned from your friends

432
00:16:33,235 --> 00:16:35,325
that maybe you don't wanna continue to do.

433
00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:38,245
Right. And it's allowing them
to go through self-learning.

434
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:39,725
So it's not just teaching,

435
00:16:39,785 --> 00:16:41,085
but it's ensuring that there is

436
00:16:41,445 --> 00:16:42,525
learning that's taking place.

437
00:16:42,875 --> 00:16:45,325
- Cool. And I'm thinking of
like, uh, individuals who are

438
00:16:45,885 --> 00:16:47,405
learning who wanna be baptized.

439
00:16:47,415 --> 00:16:49,365
Right. And yeah, you're,

440
00:16:49,385 --> 00:16:50,685
it wouldn't be good to just rally them.

441
00:16:50,705 --> 00:16:53,405
You gotta Yeah. They need
some substance there. Right.

442
00:16:53,405 --> 00:16:55,205
- They need to know about the
first vision. Yeah. Right.

443
00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:56,925
And they need to like, have
questions asked to them.

444
00:16:56,945 --> 00:17:00,005
So yeah. Missionary work
is very educator cool.

445
00:17:00,095 --> 00:17:02,365
We're gonna sit down and
teach you these lessons.

446
00:17:03,025 --> 00:17:05,365
- Now. It, and like you said,
as we go through these styles,

447
00:17:05,365 --> 00:17:08,125
like there's some styles that
they feel like they're the one

448
00:17:08,205 --> 00:17:11,125
I should do, but in reality, it lands flat

449
00:17:11,225 --> 00:17:12,565
or isn't helpful because

450
00:17:12,675 --> 00:17:14,965
- It's all about that aggregated
contextual considerations.

451
00:17:15,305 --> 00:17:18,365
If you're a missionary sitting
down with, uh, investigators

452
00:17:19,185 --> 00:17:20,725
and you're, you're educating,

453
00:17:20,785 --> 00:17:22,165
let me tell you about Joseph Smith.

454
00:17:22,185 --> 00:17:24,045
And you can see that
they're looking to the side,

455
00:17:24,185 --> 00:17:25,685
or they're like getting distracted

456
00:17:25,825 --> 00:17:28,525
or they're looking at their
phone, whatever it is, you know,

457
00:17:28,805 --> 00:17:30,045
educator's probably not working

458
00:17:30,465 --> 00:17:32,125
and you need to switch
to a different style

459
00:17:32,235 --> 00:17:33,965
that will then engage them at that time.

460
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:36,965
Gotcha. Right. Like, educator
is really bad if you're

461
00:17:37,125 --> 00:17:38,165
teaching youth Sunday school.

462
00:17:38,165 --> 00:17:40,205
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, let me
teach you from the scriptures

463
00:17:40,265 --> 00:17:41,725
and read to you these scriptures.

464
00:17:41,835 --> 00:17:43,885
Yeah. Youth are like, not into that.

465
00:17:43,915 --> 00:17:45,365
They wanna have healthy discussion

466
00:17:45,365 --> 00:17:46,605
and dialogue going back and forth.

467
00:17:47,045 --> 00:17:48,845
- A common dynamic I hear a lot about,

468
00:17:48,965 --> 00:17:51,845
and I was this leader too,
that, you know, you're a bishop

469
00:17:51,985 --> 00:17:53,765
and you keep seeing, you know, maybe,

470
00:17:53,905 --> 00:17:56,165
so all these people are
struggling with pornography

471
00:17:56,265 --> 00:17:57,725
and I just get one interview

472
00:17:57,745 --> 00:17:59,925
or one appointment out the
other about pornography.

473
00:18:00,345 --> 00:18:03,325
If they just understood
that the negativity

474
00:18:03,465 --> 00:18:06,565
or the, you know, why this
is so important to avoid.

475
00:18:06,745 --> 00:18:08,445
So fifth Sunday's coming up,

476
00:18:08,505 --> 00:18:10,085
I'm gonna do a fifth Sunday lesson

477
00:18:10,185 --> 00:18:12,125
and we're gonna really hit this hard.

478
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:14,925
And so you sort of shift in
that we're gonna educate them

479
00:18:15,305 --> 00:18:17,125
and like you said,
sometimes it's appropriate.

480
00:18:17,125 --> 00:18:20,085
Other times it may, may not be. So yeah.

481
00:18:20,085 --> 00:18:21,485
Something to consider. All right.

482
00:18:21,485 --> 00:18:23,125
Should we go to the next
one? Let's do it. Yeah.

483
00:18:23,665 --> 00:18:25,005
- So the next one is strategist.

484
00:18:25,005 --> 00:18:27,725
Strategist is about finding solutions

485
00:18:27,745 --> 00:18:29,685
to problems strategizing. Right?

486
00:18:29,735 --> 00:18:31,285
- Every husband loves this one

487
00:18:32,005 --> 00:18:33,005
- <laugh>.

488
00:18:33,005 --> 00:18:35,365
And now, so one single wife does. Yes.

489
00:18:35,495 --> 00:18:38,205
- Lemme I I'll
- Fix this. They want confidant. Yeah,

490
00:18:38,235 --> 00:18:39,285
- Yeah, yeah. Okay. Alright.

491
00:18:39,945 --> 00:18:43,165
- But, uh, yeah. So strategist
is addressing a problem.

492
00:18:43,235 --> 00:18:45,765
What are the op, what options
do we have to solve this?

493
00:18:46,155 --> 00:18:47,765
What are the steps we need to take?

494
00:18:48,385 --> 00:18:50,005
How are you gonna solve,

495
00:18:50,345 --> 00:18:51,965
what's the strategy you're gonna use?

496
00:18:52,025 --> 00:18:53,085
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, you know,

497
00:18:53,085 --> 00:18:55,605
strategist is the fixing motion. Gotcha.

498
00:18:55,945 --> 00:18:57,325
- And I know it's like
coaching. I get a lot

499
00:18:57,325 --> 00:18:58,685
of people approach me about podcasting.

500
00:18:58,685 --> 00:19:01,565
Obviously I've established a successful

501
00:19:01,595 --> 00:19:03,005
- Podcast. I'm a good podcast. Thank

502
00:19:03,005 --> 00:19:03,925
- You. It's

503
00:19:03,925 --> 00:19:04,965
- A very episode.

504
00:19:05,095 --> 00:19:07,165
- Great. Yeah. Great
- Guest their

505
00:19:07,165 --> 00:19:08,165
- Best.

506
00:19:08,165 --> 00:19:08,645
And, and so they'll come to me

507
00:19:08,705 --> 00:19:11,645
and usually what they're
looking for is, is the strategy.

508
00:19:11,675 --> 00:19:12,685
Like, how'd you do it? Like,

509
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:14,645
gimme three things I could do next.

510
00:19:14,645 --> 00:19:16,205
Right. So then I shift into a

511
00:19:16,205 --> 00:19:18,325
strategist coaching style. Right? Yeah.

512
00:19:18,555 --> 00:19:20,645
- Cool. Yeah.
- Anything else with strategist

513
00:19:20,645 --> 00:19:22,285
that we need to lay out?

514
00:19:22,285 --> 00:19:23,405
But it seems pretty straightforward.

515
00:19:23,405 --> 00:19:24,485
- Yeah. Strategist is pretty,

516
00:19:24,485 --> 00:19:25,845
pretty straightforward, pretty easy.

517
00:19:26,075 --> 00:19:28,125
It's identifying steps in,

518
00:19:28,465 --> 00:19:30,525
in fixing the problem or, awesome.

519
00:19:30,715 --> 00:19:33,405
- Yeah. I think one, one
clarification between strategist

520
00:19:33,405 --> 00:19:37,445
and rally, or rally is the
next step strategist is solving

521
00:19:37,705 --> 00:19:38,725
the long term issue.

522
00:19:39,025 --> 00:19:40,325
So let's say you were like trying

523
00:19:40,325 --> 00:19:42,165
to get a temple recommend back, right?

524
00:19:42,505 --> 00:19:44,125
You might meet with a state president

525
00:19:44,185 --> 00:19:46,085
and working on a series of things

526
00:19:46,085 --> 00:19:47,205
that will allow you to get there.

527
00:19:47,425 --> 00:19:49,845
The rally is what's the first
thing that you're gonna do?

528
00:19:50,145 --> 00:19:51,685
The strategist is what's this?

529
00:19:51,865 --> 00:19:54,325
How are we going to get you
long-term to where you wanna be?

530
00:19:54,635 --> 00:19:56,125
- Yeah. Someone interested in a podcast,

531
00:19:56,185 --> 00:19:59,445
you can give 'em a list of
things and then ask the question.

532
00:19:59,705 --> 00:20:01,245
So what do you wanna do a podcast about?

533
00:20:01,245 --> 00:20:04,565
And they're like, uh, okay.
That's the first thing. Yeah.

534
00:20:04,795 --> 00:20:06,485
- Awesome.
- When are you gonna decide

535
00:20:06,485 --> 00:20:07,965
what your podcast is gonna be about?

536
00:20:08,105 --> 00:20:09,285
That's a rally or question.

537
00:20:09,285 --> 00:20:10,805
- Yeah. Awesome. Jared, what's next?

538
00:20:11,185 --> 00:20:13,165
- The next one up is the provocateur.

539
00:20:13,945 --> 00:20:15,205
So the provocateur is the one

540
00:20:15,205 --> 00:20:17,085
that makes people squirm the most.

541
00:20:17,325 --> 00:20:20,565
Right. <laugh> because it's
poking a hole in somebody's

542
00:20:20,565 --> 00:20:23,685
logic and it's often speaking
the unspeakable truth.

543
00:20:23,905 --> 00:20:27,245
Mm. And so when a coachee
goes to a coach saying, Hey,

544
00:20:27,285 --> 00:20:29,005
I have this question, the coach will

545
00:20:29,005 --> 00:20:30,245
say, are you the problem?

546
00:20:30,705 --> 00:20:32,525
And often people are like, oh my gosh,

547
00:20:32,605 --> 00:20:33,645
I feel so uncomfortable with this.

548
00:20:33,825 --> 00:20:37,685
But it it's because it, it needs
to happen at certain times.

549
00:20:38,545 --> 00:20:41,285
- My mind just goes to so
many stories of Christ. Right?

550
00:20:41,665 --> 00:20:42,925
Oh man. Amen. He, he

551
00:20:42,925 --> 00:20:43,885
- Was so good, really knew how to

552
00:20:43,965 --> 00:20:45,445
provoke. He it's the best for

553
00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:46,445
- Bucket score.

554
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:48,005
Yeah. Think about like the
parable of the 10 versions.

555
00:20:48,005 --> 00:20:50,205
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.
Right. The takeaway for me,

556
00:20:50,305 --> 00:20:52,965
so on my mission, we had a
visiting general authority come

557
00:20:52,965 --> 00:20:56,445
and he talked, he spoke about
how the different, um, aspects

558
00:20:56,445 --> 00:20:59,165
of the parable and what
you don't have right.

559
00:20:59,225 --> 00:21:00,885
Is your oil and your oil kind

560
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:02,085
of represents the temple recommend.

561
00:21:02,425 --> 00:21:03,765
So you go to the temple without a temple

562
00:21:04,045 --> 00:21:05,085
recommend, you can't get in.

563
00:21:05,705 --> 00:21:07,245
So the takeaway from the parable

564
00:21:07,245 --> 00:21:09,685
of the 10 virgins is if
you don't have a recommend,

565
00:21:09,905 --> 00:21:12,765
you can't get in, which is
a very provocateur thing.

566
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:14,485
Why would you wanna take somebody else's

567
00:21:14,865 --> 00:21:16,845
if you can't get your own? Yeah. Right.

568
00:21:17,355 --> 00:21:20,285
- Yeah. So he's was telling
that parable as like,

569
00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:23,805
you may be one of the 10
virgins and that really, he

570
00:21:23,925 --> 00:21:24,925
- Can't Yeah.

571
00:21:24,925 --> 00:21:25,805
- You can't really reconcile that.

572
00:21:25,905 --> 00:21:27,725
You know, it's hard to sit with. Right.

573
00:21:28,005 --> 00:21:29,085
- I think the savior was really good

574
00:21:29,085 --> 00:21:30,245
at be in Afr with Peter.

575
00:21:30,425 --> 00:21:32,325
You know, do you love me? Do you love me?

576
00:21:32,505 --> 00:21:35,005
Do you, and Peter's, you
know, he's, he's like,

577
00:21:35,355 --> 00:21:36,645
he's really thinking about it.

578
00:21:36,755 --> 00:21:38,045
He's thinking deeply about it. Right.

579
00:21:38,045 --> 00:21:41,125
Because the savior really wanted him to

580
00:21:41,715 --> 00:21:42,965
embrace this concept.

581
00:21:43,305 --> 00:21:46,245
And I also love the story
of the, when they're at sea

582
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,245
and the, the storm is raging and,

583
00:21:48,545 --> 00:21:49,805
and they wake the savior up

584
00:21:49,805 --> 00:21:51,485
and he's, he says, where's your faith?

585
00:21:51,485 --> 00:21:52,925
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, why
have you lost your faith?

586
00:21:53,185 --> 00:21:56,965
And yeah, he is masterful
provocateur. Awesome.

587
00:21:57,205 --> 00:21:59,325
- I think there's a lot of
people in the church today,

588
00:21:59,325 --> 00:22:01,085
they're asking provocateur questions

589
00:22:01,465 --> 00:22:03,485
and that, that's where
some holdup comes for them.

590
00:22:03,575 --> 00:22:06,685
Right. Of like, what's the
answer? Why did this happen?

591
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:08,645
And they, they're asking
the tough questions

592
00:22:08,875 --> 00:22:11,605
because they need
provocateur in their lives.

593
00:22:11,735 --> 00:22:14,285
Right. And, uh, uh, example that Matt

594
00:22:14,285 --> 00:22:16,605
and I have talked about
in the past is, did Adam

595
00:22:16,625 --> 00:22:18,245
and Eve actually exist

596
00:22:19,025 --> 00:22:20,805
or were they the first people on earth?

597
00:22:21,065 --> 00:22:22,125
Or was there evolution?

598
00:22:22,145 --> 00:22:23,445
And did it actually get to a point

599
00:22:23,445 --> 00:22:24,485
where then there were people here?

600
00:22:24,485 --> 00:22:26,685
And like, that's a very
provocateur question. Mm-Hmm.

601
00:22:26,725 --> 00:22:28,125
<affirmative> of, is it just a story

602
00:22:28,125 --> 00:22:29,565
that will help us understand it?

603
00:22:29,905 --> 00:22:31,565
And if so, why? Right. Yeah.

604
00:22:31,585 --> 00:22:33,805
Poking a hole in that logic, trying

605
00:22:33,805 --> 00:22:36,005
to figure out what's really going on here.

606
00:22:36,005 --> 00:22:37,125
Yeah. It's happening a lot.

607
00:22:37,725 --> 00:22:40,645
- I truly believe that we
worship a god of, of paradox.

608
00:22:40,655 --> 00:22:43,645
Right. That he'll often put
things out there that are,

609
00:22:43,645 --> 00:22:45,245
they seem like contrary

610
00:22:45,265 --> 00:22:47,125
and you can't, you can't sit with it.

611
00:22:47,345 --> 00:22:48,645
You know, it's almost like, no, you gotta,

612
00:22:48,835 --> 00:22:49,885
it's got one or the other.

613
00:22:49,885 --> 00:22:52,165
Right. How can we have prophets on earth

614
00:22:52,165 --> 00:22:53,685
when, but they're imperfect.

615
00:22:53,685 --> 00:22:55,125
Like, are they speaking for you?

616
00:22:55,265 --> 00:22:57,405
And, and so it's hard to
sit with, right? Right.

617
00:22:57,405 --> 00:22:59,245
But it's almost like
God's like Yeah, exactly.

618
00:22:59,245 --> 00:23:02,925
Like he's in, it's an invitation
to step into it. Yes. Yes.

619
00:23:02,945 --> 00:23:04,405
And, and trust in him. Right? Yeah.

620
00:23:04,405 --> 00:23:06,365
And, and so I can see how that could be,

621
00:23:06,365 --> 00:23:08,365
the provocateur could be such a powerful

622
00:23:08,365 --> 00:23:09,605
Yeah. Coaching style. Right?

623
00:23:09,785 --> 00:23:11,005
- And it really can be, you know,

624
00:23:11,425 --> 00:23:14,925
the name provocateur has this
kind of a negative connotation

625
00:23:14,925 --> 00:23:19,125
to it, but it really comes
from a, a place of love, right?

626
00:23:19,505 --> 00:23:21,205
You're thinking this particular way

627
00:23:22,065 --> 00:23:23,845
and is that the right way?

628
00:23:24,425 --> 00:23:26,605
Is that the way you should be
thinking about this? Mm-Hmm.

629
00:23:26,605 --> 00:23:28,765
You know, a lot of times
when I'm coaching people,

630
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:31,445
I'll say they'll come up with a solution

631
00:23:31,945 --> 00:23:33,805
and my provocateur question will be, well,

632
00:23:33,965 --> 00:23:35,285
what if that doesn't work?

633
00:23:35,385 --> 00:23:37,365
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> what
if that's not the solution?

634
00:23:37,395 --> 00:23:40,085
Just to get them to open up a little bit,

635
00:23:40,155 --> 00:23:42,885
broaden their perspective
a little bit. Hmm.

636
00:23:43,325 --> 00:23:45,925
- I think for those that are
volunteering in church roles

637
00:23:46,145 --> 00:23:48,525
are saying, I can't make
someone uncomfortable

638
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:50,165
and squirm by asking this question.

639
00:23:50,585 --> 00:23:52,725
And where I would
challenge you is if you're

640
00:23:52,725 --> 00:23:54,045
parents, you do this all the time.

641
00:23:54,045 --> 00:23:55,525
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>,
why did you think it was

642
00:23:55,525 --> 00:23:56,565
okay to hit your little brother?

643
00:23:56,665 --> 00:23:57,845
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. Why aren't you

644
00:23:57,845 --> 00:23:58,925
getting ready for bed in time?

645
00:23:59,015 --> 00:24:01,165
Right. These are provocateur questions

646
00:24:01,165 --> 00:24:02,965
that are poking a hole in logic.

647
00:24:03,155 --> 00:24:05,845
Yeah. And so why do we
do that to our kids?

648
00:24:05,875 --> 00:24:08,365
Because we love them, we care about them

649
00:24:08,505 --> 00:24:09,805
and they need it at that time.

650
00:24:10,065 --> 00:24:11,525
The same is true as Matt mentioned,

651
00:24:11,585 --> 00:24:13,405
for other people that we work with. Yeah.

652
00:24:13,625 --> 00:24:16,045
- And I'm just thinking
like the typical elders quo

653
00:24:16,045 --> 00:24:17,125
where we almost wanna just,

654
00:24:17,135 --> 00:24:19,205
let's just stay in the
educator column, you know,

655
00:24:19,205 --> 00:24:20,565
let's just talk about doctrine.

656
00:24:20,665 --> 00:24:21,845
Yep. Okay.

657
00:24:21,925 --> 00:24:23,125
That guy said that comment,

658
00:24:23,225 --> 00:24:25,285
and that's sort of very
provocative comment.

659
00:24:25,485 --> 00:24:26,965
I don't know, let's de diffuse it.

660
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:28,365
- Right? We're gonna gonna
deflect that, right? Yeah.

661
00:24:28,365 --> 00:24:29,685
De instead of like leaning into it

662
00:24:29,685 --> 00:24:31,725
because what does that, what
does that Edwards quo need?

663
00:24:31,775 --> 00:24:34,725
Maybe they need to go
into it more because Matt

664
00:24:34,725 --> 00:24:35,885
and I are those type of people we love

665
00:24:35,885 --> 00:24:37,005
good provocateur in our life.

666
00:24:37,005 --> 00:24:39,205
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. Right?
Let's ask a hard question

667
00:24:39,265 --> 00:24:41,045
and have some real discussion

668
00:24:41,045 --> 00:24:43,525
and dialogue in an
elders quo instead of me,

669
00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:45,205
like almost falling asleep. Uhhuh,

670
00:24:45,245 --> 00:24:46,245
- <affirmative>, <laugh>.

671
00:24:46,475 --> 00:24:48,485
Love it. Matt. Should we
go to the next one? Yeah.

672
00:24:48,505 --> 00:24:51,565
- So the second E is explore.
There there's two letters.

673
00:24:51,755 --> 00:24:53,205
Yeah. So that's, yeah.

674
00:24:53,205 --> 00:24:57,325
Anyways, uh, <laugh>,
so the explorer is the,

675
00:24:57,325 --> 00:24:59,565
the simple way I like to look
at this is asking the question

676
00:24:59,565 --> 00:25:02,325
that you don't even know the
answer to as the coach, right?

677
00:25:02,325 --> 00:25:05,365
There's a lot of situations
when you're counseling someone

678
00:25:05,425 --> 00:25:08,045
and you kind of have a,
a rhythm to it, right?

679
00:25:08,555 --> 00:25:09,965
Well, explorers asking the questions

680
00:25:09,965 --> 00:25:11,325
that you dunno an answer to.

681
00:25:11,785 --> 00:25:13,285
And it's just to dive a little deeper.

682
00:25:14,005 --> 00:25:16,325
I think about when people will come to me,

683
00:25:16,395 --> 00:25:19,165
they'll say something
that's very, uh, cliche

684
00:25:19,305 --> 00:25:21,765
or, you know, something
that people often say,

685
00:25:22,225 --> 00:25:23,725
and I'll just ask 'em to define it.

686
00:25:24,035 --> 00:25:26,485
What does that mean to you?
Mm-Hmm. You feel overwhelmed.

687
00:25:26,485 --> 00:25:27,765
You, you feel like you're drowning.

688
00:25:27,995 --> 00:25:29,045
What does that mean to you?

689
00:25:29,235 --> 00:25:31,525
Because there could be varying degrees of

690
00:25:32,075 --> 00:25:34,285
what they're feeling to make them say

691
00:25:34,285 --> 00:25:35,805
that particular thing, right?

692
00:25:36,395 --> 00:25:39,765
This is one where I like to
focus a lot on my intuition.

693
00:25:40,035 --> 00:25:41,405
Like, what is my gut saying

694
00:25:41,955 --> 00:25:43,485
that this person needs right now?

695
00:25:44,105 --> 00:25:47,085
Hey, for some reason I'm
thinking about navy blue.

696
00:25:47,235 --> 00:25:48,405
Does that mean anything to you?

697
00:25:48,905 --> 00:25:52,645
And they'll be like, oh my
gosh, yes. Cougars got, Hey,

698
00:25:53,955 --> 00:25:55,045
- Yeah,
- Too soon.

699
00:25:55,825 --> 00:25:58,245
- God, uh, they tra I dunno. Yeah.

700
00:25:58,245 --> 00:26:01,645
Anyways, but just being
able to, you know, in, in a,

701
00:26:01,665 --> 00:26:04,645
in a bishop situation, uhhuh, it's

702
00:26:04,645 --> 00:26:06,405
what is the spirit
telling you to ask about?

703
00:26:06,595 --> 00:26:08,525
Yeah. Let's explore that.
Let's talk about that.

704
00:26:08,765 --> 00:26:12,405
I love the question of,
tell me more about this

705
00:26:12,705 --> 00:26:14,605
or define this to me.

706
00:26:14,605 --> 00:26:16,965
Those are like my favorite
go-to explorer questions.

707
00:26:16,965 --> 00:26:19,125
Just let's, let's go a little deeper. Hmm.

708
00:26:19,395 --> 00:26:21,205
- Love that. Explorer also is saying,

709
00:26:21,475 --> 00:26:22,965
what else have we not considered?

710
00:26:23,115 --> 00:26:24,525
It's a possibility, right?

711
00:26:24,585 --> 00:26:26,805
So I imagine like ward
council getting together

712
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:29,045
and discussing how to
get more out of that.

713
00:26:29,435 --> 00:26:31,445
They might come to a conclusion of here's

714
00:26:31,445 --> 00:26:32,605
how we can improve word council.

715
00:26:32,865 --> 00:26:34,325
And then the explorer would say,

716
00:26:34,545 --> 00:26:36,765
but is there another idea
we haven't explored yet?

717
00:26:36,765 --> 00:26:39,325
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> or maybe
word council's going great.

718
00:26:39,505 --> 00:26:40,805
And then an explorer comes and says,

719
00:26:40,825 --> 00:26:43,645
is there a way we can
improve our time management?

720
00:26:43,815 --> 00:26:45,365
Right? We've talked about stuff,

721
00:26:45,365 --> 00:26:47,285
but what else have we not discovered?

722
00:26:47,315 --> 00:26:49,885
It's innovation, it's
creativity, it's figuring out

723
00:26:50,195 --> 00:26:51,525
what other people haven't seen.

724
00:26:51,755 --> 00:26:54,325
- Yeah. Yeah. I'm just thinking
of that revelatory process.

725
00:26:54,455 --> 00:26:55,965
Often it requires that moment

726
00:26:56,065 --> 00:26:57,065
- Of exploration, right?

727
00:26:57,115 --> 00:26:59,605
Yeah. Joseph Smith, like,
it's a perfect example, right?

728
00:26:59,605 --> 00:27:00,885
- Yeah. Usually was a question he

729
00:27:00,905 --> 00:27:01,925
was exploring. Oh, I should,

730
00:27:02,285 --> 00:27:03,285
- I should go ask.

731
00:27:03,285 --> 00:27:04,125
Yeah, I'm gonna go have a little

732
00:27:04,125 --> 00:27:05,365
prayer in the, in the woods.

733
00:27:05,705 --> 00:27:07,565
- See what happens. Another
strategy that comes to mind

734
00:27:07,565 --> 00:27:09,725
with ex Explorer that I
think's really effective

735
00:27:09,725 --> 00:27:11,885
for church leaders, especially,
you know, the bishop

736
00:27:11,985 --> 00:27:13,645
or in that context where you're, you know,

737
00:27:13,885 --> 00:27:15,845
somebody's really wrestling
with a problem, they brought it

738
00:27:15,845 --> 00:27:20,365
to you like Rob Ferrell has
done this, where he'll take a,

739
00:27:20,765 --> 00:27:22,605
a scripture story and say, I want you

740
00:27:22,605 --> 00:27:25,085
to go study this story about the savior.

741
00:27:25,085 --> 00:27:27,365
Right? No one, he uses the man with palsy

742
00:27:27,365 --> 00:27:29,285
that's lifted down from the, the ceiling.

743
00:27:29,285 --> 00:27:32,325
Right? That, and he, he
would give that to somebody

744
00:27:32,325 --> 00:27:33,565
and be like, we're gonna meet next week,

745
00:27:33,565 --> 00:27:35,965
but I just want you to
like, just jump into this

746
00:27:35,965 --> 00:27:37,245
story and see what comes.

747
00:27:37,345 --> 00:27:39,285
And then, so he's not the man that's like,

748
00:27:39,285 --> 00:27:41,125
I've got all the answers do A, B, and C.

749
00:27:41,125 --> 00:27:42,885
But it was more of
like, what did you find?

750
00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:45,645
Like how did God show up for
you? What was he teaching you?

751
00:27:45,865 --> 00:27:48,125
And then from there it
was beautiful, the Yeah.

752
00:27:48,475 --> 00:27:51,205
What came out of that. Yeah.
So, Jared, what's next?

753
00:27:51,505 --> 00:27:53,245
- The C is confidant.

754
00:27:53,665 --> 00:27:56,325
The confidant is the
opposite of the provocateur.

755
00:27:56,625 --> 00:27:58,445
The provocateur pokes a hole in logic

756
00:27:58,695 --> 00:28:01,325
where the confidant is
asking about your feelings

757
00:28:01,985 --> 00:28:03,485
and how you interpret something.

758
00:28:03,485 --> 00:28:06,205
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. So
it's often that warm blanket,

759
00:28:06,465 --> 00:28:09,165
it makes you feel really
great about your life

760
00:28:09,185 --> 00:28:10,485
and your situation and everything else.

761
00:28:10,665 --> 00:28:12,285
It can feel like validation
a lot of the time

762
00:28:12,595 --> 00:28:16,245
because the coachee often
will like meet with the coach

763
00:28:16,425 --> 00:28:18,085
and then when they have
a confidant conversation

764
00:28:18,635 --> 00:28:21,325
walk away saying, I feel
so much better about life.

765
00:28:21,425 --> 00:28:24,405
And the coach will say, we
didn't solve a single thing.

766
00:28:24,405 --> 00:28:25,565
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, right? Yeah.

767
00:28:25,795 --> 00:28:27,725
Because all they did was express the

768
00:28:27,725 --> 00:28:28,965
emotions that they were dealing with.

769
00:28:29,415 --> 00:28:32,925
Elder Bednar was at a Silicon
Slopes tech summit recently,

770
00:28:32,925 --> 00:28:35,165
which is a big tech conference
in Utah that happened.

771
00:28:35,165 --> 00:28:39,045
And, and he said that quote,
God works from the inside out.

772
00:28:39,625 --> 00:28:41,165
Oh, I'm sorry, I read the wrong one.

773
00:28:41,465 --> 00:28:44,605
It was, if we can stop
yelling long enough to listen,

774
00:28:44,985 --> 00:28:46,325
we can work things out.

775
00:28:46,905 --> 00:28:50,445
And listening to work
things out is a confidant.

776
00:28:50,785 --> 00:28:53,085
How do you feel about this?
Where are you coming from?

777
00:28:53,645 --> 00:28:55,765
I think about, if you go
back to like missionary work,

778
00:28:55,825 --> 00:28:57,525
you might like bible bash, right?

779
00:28:57,655 --> 00:28:59,765
Let's compare this
scripture versus this one.

780
00:28:59,915 --> 00:29:02,085
What if instead of competing
against each other,

781
00:29:02,265 --> 00:29:04,405
you were just to say, what
does the scripture mean to you?

782
00:29:04,705 --> 00:29:06,445
How do you feel, you know, Jesus,

783
00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:08,645
how is Jesus represented in your life?

784
00:29:09,105 --> 00:29:11,005
And hearing those people
out without trying

785
00:29:11,125 --> 00:29:13,365
to prove anything is what
the confidant would do.

786
00:29:13,365 --> 00:29:15,285
- Yeah. And imagine
there's this sense of like,

787
00:29:15,505 --> 00:29:17,565
not just listening, but
just being okay with

788
00:29:17,565 --> 00:29:19,405
what they're saying and
just sitting with it.

789
00:29:19,435 --> 00:29:21,805
Like, you may interact with
somebody and they're just like,

790
00:29:21,985 --> 00:29:23,965
and that's why I think
Joseph Smith was a fraud.

791
00:29:24,105 --> 00:29:25,165
Now naturally you wanna be, wait,

792
00:29:25,165 --> 00:29:26,205
wait a minute, he wasn't a fraud.

793
00:29:26,205 --> 00:29:28,325
Right? You wanna jump
in there and defend him,

794
00:29:28,385 --> 00:29:29,685
but just be like, wow.

795
00:29:29,685 --> 00:29:30,925
Like I can see how

796
00:29:31,265 --> 00:29:32,285
- That's your perspective,

797
00:29:32,465 --> 00:29:34,125
- How you can be led to that, that place.

798
00:29:34,145 --> 00:29:35,365
- How does that make you feel? Yeah.

799
00:29:35,515 --> 00:29:37,325
- Tell me more about that. Yeah. Yeah.

800
00:29:37,505 --> 00:29:40,645
So, and then they're feeling
this is a safer place

801
00:29:40,665 --> 00:29:41,925
to lean in and,

802
00:29:42,265 --> 00:29:44,885
and go out, maybe go on an
exploration, right? Yeah.

803
00:29:45,545 --> 00:29:47,285
- What's that? And that really is the crux

804
00:29:47,285 --> 00:29:51,325
of the confidant is creating
trust in a safe place, right?

805
00:29:51,325 --> 00:29:54,365
Because I'm not gonna tell
you my deep dark secrets.

806
00:29:54,505 --> 00:29:57,565
If I don't think that
you'll keep that confidence

807
00:29:57,565 --> 00:30:00,965
that I trust you enough to
share that information with you.

808
00:30:01,545 --> 00:30:03,445
- And once that trust
is established, that's

809
00:30:03,445 --> 00:30:06,125
where you can get into the
meat of what could seem

810
00:30:06,125 --> 00:30:07,605
as really challenging questions.

811
00:30:08,075 --> 00:30:09,885
Like I think about a member of the church

812
00:30:09,985 --> 00:30:12,525
who is in lt LGBTQ community Mm-Hmm.

813
00:30:12,825 --> 00:30:15,445
How do you identify, how
is it for you when you come

814
00:30:15,445 --> 00:30:16,565
to church each week?

815
00:30:17,035 --> 00:30:20,125
Like those things most people
would probably step far away

816
00:30:20,125 --> 00:30:22,285
from, but when that
trust is, is established,

817
00:30:22,595 --> 00:30:25,405
confidant is a great
question to pull them in

818
00:30:25,405 --> 00:30:28,245
because they feel seen
and cared about. Yeah.

819
00:30:28,415 --> 00:30:31,085
- Where, again, sort of
contrasting that with, if you shift

820
00:30:31,085 --> 00:30:32,245
to educator and being like, let me

821
00:30:32,245 --> 00:30:33,325
tell you about the doctrine of the church.

822
00:30:33,425 --> 00:30:34,765
Yes, exactly. Let's be clear.

823
00:30:35,525 --> 00:30:37,965
Suddenly they're like, I am
never coming back here. Right.

824
00:30:37,965 --> 00:30:40,645
Like, and so I think in,
you know, there's a time

825
00:30:40,645 --> 00:30:42,765
and a place for all
these, but Yes, exactly.

826
00:30:42,875 --> 00:30:45,205
That may not be what they need
in that moment. Right? Yeah.

827
00:30:45,715 --> 00:30:47,405
- Yeah. Great point. Yeah.

828
00:30:47,925 --> 00:30:49,125
- Anything else with, uh, go ahead, Matt.

829
00:30:49,185 --> 00:30:50,685
- No, I just, I was gonna segue us

830
00:30:50,685 --> 00:30:51,845
into transformers, so let's do it.

831
00:30:51,955 --> 00:30:56,125
Yeah. So transformer is
the turning point, turning.

832
00:30:56,145 --> 00:30:59,525
So I like to use transformer
when someone's gone

833
00:30:59,525 --> 00:31:00,605
through something difficult

834
00:31:01,105 --> 00:31:03,365
and I, I have them reflect on that, right?

835
00:31:03,585 --> 00:31:06,405
So tell me how this
experience made you better.

836
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:09,645
What's the gift in you
going through this trial?

837
00:31:10,225 --> 00:31:11,965
It can also, it can be
reflective that way,

838
00:31:12,025 --> 00:31:15,165
but it also can be a forecast, right?

839
00:31:15,165 --> 00:31:18,085
Someone comes in and says,
I'm really having a hard time

840
00:31:18,085 --> 00:31:20,445
with, you know, you, you
mentioned pornography before.

841
00:31:20,705 --> 00:31:22,165
I'm really struggling with pornography.

842
00:31:22,555 --> 00:31:23,645
Well, I can help you.

843
00:31:23,745 --> 00:31:26,325
And, and let's think
about six months from now,

844
00:31:26,785 --> 00:31:28,925
six months from now, who will you be

845
00:31:29,505 --> 00:31:30,605
if you can overcome this?

846
00:31:31,145 --> 00:31:33,565
And it helps them to, to see that future

847
00:31:33,945 --> 00:31:35,165
and then to work towards it.

848
00:31:36,085 --> 00:31:39,325
Transformer typically, uh, is
used when it's post a trial.

849
00:31:39,905 --> 00:31:41,725
I'm coaching someone who lost their job,

850
00:31:41,865 --> 00:31:43,125
and it was very emotional.

851
00:31:43,265 --> 00:31:45,005
And, you know, after three

852
00:31:45,005 --> 00:31:47,285
or four sessions, I said,
think about who you were

853
00:31:47,285 --> 00:31:49,765
that first day and think
about who you are now.

854
00:31:50,435 --> 00:31:52,085
What have you gained in that?

855
00:31:52,505 --> 00:31:54,605
How have you become a better
person because of that?

856
00:31:54,745 --> 00:31:58,125
And it's really just helping
them to see that the change

857
00:31:58,125 --> 00:32:00,885
that comes about because
of the trials and the,

858
00:32:00,905 --> 00:32:04,045
and the hard times and even
through an, uh, you know,

859
00:32:04,045 --> 00:32:05,805
an education process, right?

860
00:32:05,945 --> 00:32:07,045
Uh, you just finished school,

861
00:32:07,105 --> 00:32:08,405
you just graduated from college.

862
00:32:09,345 --> 00:32:10,685
How has that made you a better person?

863
00:32:11,385 --> 00:32:13,765
You know, it's just that
you're identifying the

864
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:15,045
transformation that's taken place.

865
00:32:15,145 --> 00:32:18,085
- Gotcha. So, and maybe a
little more reflective of like,

866
00:32:18,085 --> 00:32:20,885
yeah, let's just take a
moment, pause and look back.

867
00:32:21,115 --> 00:32:22,405
- Yeah.
- Interesting.

868
00:32:22,545 --> 00:32:24,565
- So you think about like
the prodigal sun. Mm-Hmm.

869
00:32:24,605 --> 00:32:27,685
<affirmative>, right? Very
transformer style in a couple

870
00:32:27,725 --> 00:32:29,365
of ways for each person, right?

871
00:32:29,825 --> 00:32:31,125
The one son who remained

872
00:32:31,355 --> 00:32:34,405
that was choosing all the right
things had a transformation

873
00:32:34,475 --> 00:32:36,205
that they went through when
their brother came back.

874
00:32:36,205 --> 00:32:38,445
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. But
so is the brother who sinned

875
00:32:38,445 --> 00:32:40,060
and repented and came back to the father.

876
00:32:40,135 --> 00:32:42,125
Right? They transformed and became better.

877
00:32:42,705 --> 00:32:46,005
And so that transformer is acknowledging

878
00:32:46,025 --> 00:32:49,365
and transmuting the pain to then allow us

879
00:32:49,365 --> 00:32:50,965
to see our future potential.

880
00:32:51,225 --> 00:32:53,725
And so the brother who remained
in the prodigal son had

881
00:32:53,725 --> 00:32:56,125
to swallow his pride and
realized that he, you know,

882
00:32:56,625 --> 00:32:58,325
had somebody else in the picture now.

883
00:32:58,665 --> 00:33:01,125
And while he had made
better choices, he still had

884
00:33:01,125 --> 00:33:02,845
to overcome some pride
that he was dealing with.

885
00:33:02,875 --> 00:33:04,405
Yeah. And after he did that,

886
00:33:04,635 --> 00:33:06,885
then he saw a better version of himself.

887
00:33:06,885 --> 00:33:08,405
Yeah. And who he was becoming

888
00:33:09,065 --> 00:33:11,525
- My mind goes to just the
power of, of reflection.

889
00:33:11,525 --> 00:33:13,885
Even like in a, like an
activity, for instance, sort

890
00:33:13,885 --> 00:33:15,365
of like a youth activity, right?

891
00:33:15,635 --> 00:33:18,565
That those, by the time
the youth get to the end of

892
00:33:18,565 --> 00:33:19,885
that Wednesday night activity,

893
00:33:19,915 --> 00:33:22,405
they may not recognize the
transformation that happened.

894
00:33:22,405 --> 00:33:24,565
And so by you sort of pausing

895
00:33:24,565 --> 00:33:27,365
and taking a moment to reflect
on that transformation,

896
00:33:27,365 --> 00:33:29,885
they may have this epiphany
of like, oh yeah, you know,

897
00:33:29,925 --> 00:33:32,325
I got here, I was quiet,
cold, my arms were fold,

898
00:33:32,365 --> 00:33:33,405
I was leaning against the wall,

899
00:33:33,785 --> 00:33:34,885
and now I'm in this group

900
00:33:34,885 --> 00:33:36,845
of friends laughing like,
something happened there.

901
00:33:36,995 --> 00:33:38,525
Yeah. And for them to see that, like,

902
00:33:39,365 --> 00:33:41,365
actually maybe youth
activity isn't all that bad.

903
00:33:41,365 --> 00:33:42,525
Maybe I should come next week,

904
00:33:42,625 --> 00:33:44,725
or maybe I can come on
Sunday, or, you know.

905
00:33:44,795 --> 00:33:47,365
Yeah. They're suddenly realizing
something's happening here.

906
00:33:47,445 --> 00:33:50,685
I can lean in. This is
cool. Yeah. Cool. All right.

907
00:33:50,685 --> 00:33:54,525
So we got these seven transfer,
or no, that's one of 'em.

908
00:33:54,525 --> 00:33:56,765
We got these seven coaching styles. Yeah,

909
00:33:56,765 --> 00:33:57,205
- That's right. Yep.

910
00:33:57,785 --> 00:33:59,165
- So what's the next step?

911
00:33:59,205 --> 00:34:00,125
I mean, I've got some questions,

912
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:01,045
but where do you want to take it next?

913
00:34:01,105 --> 00:34:04,165
- So the next thing that you
gotta keep in mind that's hard

914
00:34:04,165 --> 00:34:07,645
to do is you have to ask
questions instead of statements.

915
00:34:08,515 --> 00:34:10,325
When you are in that coach seat

916
00:34:10,505 --> 00:34:14,005
and somebody is coming to talk
to you, if you use statements

917
00:34:14,105 --> 00:34:16,445
and you go to like more
educator, you can use a statement

918
00:34:16,445 --> 00:34:17,565
or question in any style.

919
00:34:17,785 --> 00:34:19,925
But if you think of like
that educator mindset of,

920
00:34:19,925 --> 00:34:21,725
let me teach you something, people,

921
00:34:21,905 --> 00:34:23,245
it might go in one ear out the other,

922
00:34:23,245 --> 00:34:24,405
they might not retain it.

923
00:34:24,545 --> 00:34:28,045
But when you ask a question,
it allows the coachee to have

924
00:34:28,045 --> 00:34:30,245
to formulate it a statement of their own,

925
00:34:30,655 --> 00:34:32,205
which deepens the knowledge

926
00:34:32,305 --> 00:34:33,845
and their personal conversion

927
00:34:33,845 --> 00:34:35,405
to what's being discussed as well.

928
00:34:36,225 --> 00:34:39,685
So I would recommend
everybody uses questions.

929
00:34:39,935 --> 00:34:42,325
We've also sat in those really
bad Sunday school lessons

930
00:34:42,415 --> 00:34:45,485
where it's just, what's the
correct answer in my head?

931
00:34:45,505 --> 00:34:47,285
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>,
that's not what this is.

932
00:34:47,435 --> 00:34:50,605
This is a discussion to
allow the coachee to come up

933
00:34:50,605 --> 00:34:51,925
with their own solution.

934
00:34:52,185 --> 00:34:53,805
And there is no right or wrong answer.

935
00:34:53,995 --> 00:34:56,325
It's whatever conclusion the
coachee decides to come to.

936
00:34:56,845 --> 00:34:58,285
- I really liked what you
shared about the bishop

937
00:34:58,435 --> 00:35:01,285
that sends the, the
person back with a story.

938
00:35:01,305 --> 00:35:02,525
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, right? Here's,

939
00:35:02,675 --> 00:35:05,445
read these two chapters and
then let's meet again next week.

940
00:35:05,835 --> 00:35:09,285
Because that could be the
person could come in and,

941
00:35:09,505 --> 00:35:14,005
and depending on their, what
they look like, what the sense,

942
00:35:14,065 --> 00:35:15,645
the feeling that the bishop gets.

943
00:35:16,305 --> 00:35:18,165
It could be any number
of questions, right?

944
00:35:18,665 --> 00:35:21,485
But it is a, tell me how
studying this made you feel.

945
00:35:21,715 --> 00:35:24,325
What did you gain from that?
How has it changed you?

946
00:35:25,065 --> 00:35:26,805
You know, really diving into this story,

947
00:35:26,865 --> 00:35:28,565
how have you become better because of it?

948
00:35:28,785 --> 00:35:30,565
You know, you can use all
those different styles,

949
00:35:31,065 --> 00:35:33,085
number one, based on
what the coaching needs,

950
00:35:33,185 --> 00:35:36,365
but then instead of turning
that into, okay, well

951
00:35:36,365 --> 00:35:38,325
what this is about is X, Y, z

952
00:35:38,425 --> 00:35:39,525
and you shoulda have learned this

953
00:35:39,665 --> 00:35:40,885
and you need to be more this,

954
00:35:41,155 --> 00:35:42,925
it's just how did that make you feel?

955
00:35:43,445 --> 00:35:45,485
Hmm. How did this experience of

956
00:35:46,365 --> 00:35:48,125
focusing on one story in the

957
00:35:48,205 --> 00:35:49,365
scriptures, how did that change you?

958
00:35:49,795 --> 00:35:51,325
- Yeah. It's powerful. Well,

959
00:35:51,325 --> 00:35:52,285
- Kurt, would you like to receive

960
00:35:52,285 --> 00:35:53,365
some coaching? All right. That's

961
00:35:53,365 --> 00:35:54,365
- It.

962
00:35:54,365 --> 00:35:54,685
Do you want, do you have
questions that you wanna

963
00:35:54,685 --> 00:35:56,045
ask about the styles first?

964
00:35:56,185 --> 00:35:58,245
- Um, so I guess what my main question,

965
00:35:58,245 --> 00:36:00,245
we can either do the coaching
verse or get to it later,

966
00:36:00,305 --> 00:36:01,365
but I'm always, I,

967
00:36:01,505 --> 00:36:03,565
I'm just thinking about the
leader who's like, overwhelmed.

968
00:36:03,565 --> 00:36:05,045
They're on the treadmill hearing all this,

969
00:36:05,065 --> 00:36:07,845
and they're like, okay, so like
next time, like I'm supposed

970
00:36:07,845 --> 00:36:09,405
to like suddenly shift into this one.

971
00:36:09,405 --> 00:36:10,645
Like, what if, like, what do I do?

972
00:36:10,645 --> 00:36:13,605
Or how do I even prepare
and use these things?

973
00:36:13,665 --> 00:36:15,965
Or do I have to go through
some extensive training

974
00:36:15,965 --> 00:36:17,485
program to really use these?

975
00:36:17,645 --> 00:36:18,885
I mean, what would you say to that person

976
00:36:18,905 --> 00:36:20,765
who feels a little bit
overwhelmed by it all?

977
00:36:21,285 --> 00:36:22,605
- I would say if, if it's something

978
00:36:22,605 --> 00:36:23,885
that you're really interested in doing,

979
00:36:24,095 --> 00:36:27,805
write the styles down somewhere,
have each one written down,

980
00:36:28,345 --> 00:36:30,405
and then just think about
those in, in different,

981
00:36:30,405 --> 00:36:31,685
those different situations.

982
00:36:32,345 --> 00:36:33,845
You don't have to be an expert.

983
00:36:33,945 --> 00:36:35,445
You don't have to be a professional coach

984
00:36:35,465 --> 00:36:36,805
to be able to use these styles.

985
00:36:37,185 --> 00:36:39,645
Really, it's just when you're
sitting down with somebody,

986
00:36:40,035 --> 00:36:42,125
what are the aggregated
contextual considerations?

987
00:36:42,155 --> 00:36:43,685
What are the things that you, what,

988
00:36:43,685 --> 00:36:45,845
what is everything bringing us together

989
00:36:45,905 --> 00:36:47,605
to this point at Mm-Hmm.

990
00:36:47,645 --> 00:36:48,925
<affirmative>. And what
does this person need?

991
00:36:49,625 --> 00:36:51,925
Do they need me to bring them in?

992
00:36:52,225 --> 00:36:53,405
Do they need me to drive 'em?

993
00:36:53,405 --> 00:36:54,605
Do they need me to help them

994
00:36:55,305 --> 00:36:57,045
see the transformation that's taken place?

995
00:36:57,105 --> 00:36:58,485
Do I need to explore a little bit?

996
00:36:58,785 --> 00:37:01,125
And it just based on that,
then you ask a question

997
00:37:01,705 --> 00:37:04,405
and it can be as easy as,
you know, I wanna explore

998
00:37:04,405 --> 00:37:05,525
that more, right?

999
00:37:05,755 --> 00:37:08,285
Yeah. Or what do you think I
could do to, to help you to,

1000
00:37:08,505 --> 00:37:10,405
to rally forward, right?

1001
00:37:10,465 --> 00:37:14,085
It doesn't have to be a, you
know, professional respect,

1002
00:37:14,195 --> 00:37:16,485
certified coaching style question.

1003
00:37:17,105 --> 00:37:19,725
The idea is just what
does the coaching need

1004
00:37:20,105 --> 00:37:21,845
and ask a question that's, that's in

1005
00:37:21,845 --> 00:37:23,605
that style that you think
is appropriate. Love

1006
00:37:23,605 --> 00:37:24,605
- It.

1007
00:37:24,605 --> 00:37:25,445
I, I think I would say, um, one,

1008
00:37:25,445 --> 00:37:27,285
you're doing a great job
running on that treadmill.

1009
00:37:27,355 --> 00:37:28,565
Like keep it going <laugh>,

1010
00:37:28,565 --> 00:37:30,285
maybe turn it up just a
little bit, a little faster.

1011
00:37:30,425 --> 00:37:31,845
You can do this, I believe in you very

1012
00:37:31,845 --> 00:37:32,965
rallier comment, right?

1013
00:37:33,745 --> 00:37:37,605
Um, but the, the savior
was the perfect coach.

1014
00:37:38,265 --> 00:37:40,525
And if you study the savior's life

1015
00:37:40,705 --> 00:37:43,285
and the way that he did things,
you'll see how he adjusted

1016
00:37:43,715 --> 00:37:46,645
what he was doing for the
needs of who he was talking to.

1017
00:37:47,465 --> 00:37:51,125
And for you that's listening,
you are already doing this.

1018
00:37:51,515 --> 00:37:54,445
Like, I promise that you are,
when you talk to your kids,

1019
00:37:54,445 --> 00:37:56,045
you have a different
approach than when you talk

1020
00:37:56,045 --> 00:37:57,685
to somebody else and to their friends,

1021
00:37:57,995 --> 00:37:59,365
because you already know how

1022
00:37:59,365 --> 00:38:00,885
to have emotional intelligence and adjust.

1023
00:38:01,425 --> 00:38:03,205
And I imagine as you're
listening to this podcast,

1024
00:38:03,265 --> 00:38:06,285
you're thinking, you know,
that provocateur sounds scary,

1025
00:38:06,465 --> 00:38:08,965
poking a hole in somebody's
logic, I don't wanna do that.

1026
00:38:09,425 --> 00:38:12,045
To which I would say,
um, you can totally do it

1027
00:38:12,385 --> 00:38:13,605
and do it once.

1028
00:38:14,485 --> 00:38:17,005
I was lowest in all my coaching
styles and provocateur,

1029
00:38:17,225 --> 00:38:19,565
and I psyched myself up, right.

1030
00:38:19,565 --> 00:38:21,445
Ready to have that first
provocateur question.

1031
00:38:21,945 --> 00:38:24,685
And when I asked that question,
the coach I was talking

1032
00:38:24,685 --> 00:38:26,165
to said that was a really great

1033
00:38:26,445 --> 00:38:27,645
question, and they answered it.

1034
00:38:27,645 --> 00:38:30,525
And the world did not end.
Right. It continued forward.

1035
00:38:30,945 --> 00:38:32,685
And so if there's something
you're thinking, I don't know

1036
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:34,845
how to do that, test
it out, give it a shot.

1037
00:38:35,075 --> 00:38:37,525
Yeah. You probably know that
you're really good with one.

1038
00:38:37,525 --> 00:38:38,685
You might be a great confidant

1039
00:38:38,745 --> 00:38:41,125
and everybody spills their
guts to you all the time.

1040
00:38:42,005 --> 00:38:44,605
Continue to do that.
Try one different style

1041
00:38:44,825 --> 00:38:45,885
and just adjust it a little

1042
00:38:45,885 --> 00:38:47,405
bit to see what are the outcomes. Yeah.

1043
00:38:47,745 --> 00:38:49,525
- I'm just thinking like, uh,
like you said, write 'em down

1044
00:38:49,525 --> 00:38:53,885
or, or, because many times it
was like, you know, I default

1045
00:38:53,885 --> 00:38:56,125
to that bishop experience of
like, ah, yeah, man, that,

1046
00:38:56,125 --> 00:38:57,365
that guy's coming in again.

1047
00:38:57,365 --> 00:38:59,805
Like I've shared those
four scriptures with him,

1048
00:38:59,925 --> 00:39:02,845
I always share, and I told him,
do A, B, C, and he did that.

1049
00:39:02,865 --> 00:39:04,365
And somewhat, and I don't know

1050
00:39:04,365 --> 00:39:05,605
what, I don't know what to say to him.

1051
00:39:05,605 --> 00:39:07,125
Like, what are we gonna
talk about and to sort

1052
00:39:07,125 --> 00:39:09,645
of reflect on these and
being like, you know, I've,

1053
00:39:09,685 --> 00:39:11,845
I think I've approached
this as a rally for a while.

1054
00:39:11,875 --> 00:39:14,045
Like, what are a couple questions of being

1055
00:39:14,045 --> 00:39:15,405
that provocateur Yeah.

1056
00:39:15,715 --> 00:39:17,685
That I could, that I could start with?

1057
00:39:17,705 --> 00:39:19,925
Or how can I help him explore
Yeah. A little bit more.

1058
00:39:19,935 --> 00:39:21,205
Right? So it sort

1059
00:39:21,205 --> 00:39:23,645
of helps you reset
maybe those interactions

1060
00:39:23,645 --> 00:39:25,605
that keep come back to you, right?

1061
00:39:25,605 --> 00:39:28,445
Yeah. And, and try it
differently, right? Yeah. Um,

1062
00:39:28,825 --> 00:39:31,245
- So maybe we can give some
example questions to everybody.

1063
00:39:31,245 --> 00:39:32,805
Yeah, let's do it. Let's,
let's do it through,

1064
00:39:32,805 --> 00:39:34,165
uh, let's give you some coaching. Okay.

1065
00:39:34,175 --> 00:39:37,125
- Let's do it.
- Um, so man, I'll just kind of tag to you

1066
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:38,725
and here, and this is the game, okay?

1067
00:39:38,795 --> 00:39:41,325
Okay. Uh, we're gonna
ask you a question and

1068
00:39:41,325 --> 00:39:43,805
before you respond, we're
gonna do a quick timeout.

1069
00:39:43,945 --> 00:39:46,725
And you have to guess
which coaching style is it.

1070
00:39:46,875 --> 00:39:49,005
- Okay? - Okay. And we'll
help you along the way, way.

1071
00:39:49,045 --> 00:39:50,085
- So my brain's gonna do 10 different

1072
00:39:50,085 --> 00:39:51,125
things. Okay? Got it all. Yeah.

1073
00:39:51,405 --> 00:39:54,165
- <laugh> well like it, we'll
make it clearer, clearer.

1074
00:39:54,165 --> 00:39:55,245
Like we ask the question

1075
00:39:55,245 --> 00:39:56,245
and if it wasn't clear enough,

1076
00:39:56,245 --> 00:39:57,445
we'll, we'll clarify. Love it.

1077
00:39:57,445 --> 00:39:58,805
- Yeah. Okay. So Kurt,

1078
00:39:58,915 --> 00:40:01,445
what is something you would
like some coaching on today?

1079
00:40:01,875 --> 00:40:03,925
Timeout. So what style is
that? What style is that?

1080
00:40:03,925 --> 00:40:05,245
What is something? Where are you?

1081
00:40:05,265 --> 00:40:06,325
You would like Yeah, we're in it.

1082
00:40:06,325 --> 00:40:07,925
Oh, we're doing what?
Is something you mind

1083
00:40:08,085 --> 00:40:09,165
- Coaching on explore? Yeah.

1084
00:40:09,165 --> 00:40:10,725
- Because yeah, you could say, right now

1085
00:40:10,865 --> 00:40:12,285
how do I play video games better?

1086
00:40:12,625 --> 00:40:15,005
You could say, how do
I do my calling better?

1087
00:40:15,005 --> 00:40:16,005
You could say how to be a better parent.

1088
00:40:16,025 --> 00:40:18,605
We have literally no idea.
You can direct us anyway.

1089
00:40:18,605 --> 00:40:19,965
That's an explorer question.

1090
00:40:20,315 --> 00:40:22,285
- Yeah. Or it would be
a provocate you may say.

1091
00:40:22,345 --> 00:40:24,885
So I knows you haven't been
very engaged in church, right?

1092
00:40:25,165 --> 00:40:27,085
- <laugh>. Yeah, exactly.
- May be true or not.

1093
00:40:27,085 --> 00:40:28,525
It'd be like, Hey, wait
a minute here. Yeah.

1094
00:40:28,725 --> 00:40:33,005
<laugh> engaged in church,
so, okay, cool. So where

1095
00:40:33,005 --> 00:40:33,925
- Are we at? What's something you wanna

1096
00:40:34,315 --> 00:40:35,315
- Something?

1097
00:40:35,565 --> 00:40:38,605
I would, uh, let's talk
about my relationship

1098
00:40:38,605 --> 00:40:41,085
with my 8-year-old em, who I love deeply,

1099
00:40:42,025 --> 00:40:44,405
but as much too, like 8-year-old Kurt.

1100
00:40:44,705 --> 00:40:46,645
And so we clash a little bit, you know,

1101
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:49,005
and, uh, it's, it's a tough road at times.

1102
00:40:49,065 --> 00:40:50,205
Is that a fair place to go?

1103
00:40:50,205 --> 00:40:51,405
- Perfect. Sure. Okay.

1104
00:40:51,865 --> 00:40:53,325
- You're looking at me like I'm supposed

1105
00:40:53,325 --> 00:40:54,365
to pass the next question,

1106
00:40:54,645 --> 00:40:55,645
- <laugh>.

1107
00:40:55,645 --> 00:40:57,765
So what have you learned
about TAs teem? Tsum?

1108
00:40:57,765 --> 00:40:59,765
What have you learned
about Tasso recently, uh,

1109
00:40:59,795 --> 00:41:01,005
that has taught you a

1110
00:41:01,005 --> 00:41:01,965
few things about what he's going

1111
00:41:01,965 --> 00:41:03,485
through? Timeout. What's the,

1112
00:41:03,645 --> 00:41:04,765
- What's the style? Oh, sorry.

1113
00:41:05,005 --> 00:41:08,005
- <laugh>. - What have you
learned about Tasso recently?

1114
00:41:08,225 --> 00:41:10,205
- Is it explore because
you're, I guess any,

1115
00:41:10,415 --> 00:41:11,725
- We're gonna do different style time.

1116
00:41:11,725 --> 00:41:13,325
- Okay. So this's educational
- Educator. Okay.

1117
00:41:13,395 --> 00:41:14,605
This is the educator. Yeah.

1118
00:41:14,905 --> 00:41:16,885
- And so now you've,
- What have you learned about Tasso?

1119
00:41:16,885 --> 00:41:19,525
- Um, so I've learned that,
I've noticed he's been very

1120
00:41:20,475 --> 00:41:23,285
engaged in like, drawing,
which I loved as a kid, right?

1121
00:41:23,425 --> 00:41:26,085
And so I love seeing him,
like walking in his room

1122
00:41:26,085 --> 00:41:28,845
and catching him like
deep in different drawings

1123
00:41:28,845 --> 00:41:31,485
and just getting at it,
you know? So That's cool.

1124
00:41:31,945 --> 00:41:34,285
- How do you think learning more about

1125
00:41:35,105 --> 00:41:37,125
art together would help deepen your

1126
00:41:37,125 --> 00:41:38,525
relationship with sem? Oh man.

1127
00:41:38,885 --> 00:41:40,845
- I - Mean, time out. Okay.
What type of question is that?

1128
00:41:41,385 --> 00:41:43,725
How would your relation,
how would art help

1129
00:41:43,725 --> 00:41:44,885
improve your relationship?

1130
00:41:45,395 --> 00:41:47,725
- That is that rower,
- Not a rally. Not close.

1131
00:41:47,945 --> 00:41:49,805
- You're close. It's the sister to rower.

1132
00:41:50,105 --> 00:41:54,485
- Uh, the educator? Nope.
The, um, strategist.

1133
00:41:55,185 --> 00:41:56,685
I'm almost through the list now. <laugh>.

1134
00:41:56,685 --> 00:41:59,245
- I, I was going for
transformer. Okay. Transformer.

1135
00:41:59,505 --> 00:42:00,645
And maybe I'd say it a
little different way.

1136
00:42:00,945 --> 00:42:02,005
How would art you

1137
00:42:02,025 --> 00:42:04,605
and art together with Teim
improve your relationship?

1138
00:42:05,035 --> 00:42:06,565
Okay. Right? Like, how would it become

1139
00:42:06,565 --> 00:42:08,285
better through that medium? Like

1140
00:42:08,385 --> 00:42:10,285
- How would a transformation through art?

1141
00:42:10,355 --> 00:42:12,525
Yeah. That's where you're,
you're going. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

1142
00:42:12,785 --> 00:42:15,245
So I would say that
obviously we would, you know,

1143
00:42:15,285 --> 00:42:18,485
I have a love for art and I
have a skill set in art, so,

1144
00:42:19,105 --> 00:42:21,285
you know, I can definitely
be a mentor role and,

1145
00:42:21,345 --> 00:42:23,445
and really draw with him, you know? Yeah.

1146
00:42:23,705 --> 00:42:25,405
- So if you're his mentor father figure,

1147
00:42:25,585 --> 00:42:28,165
why have you not used art
thus far? Provocateur.

1148
00:42:28,525 --> 00:42:30,725
- <laugh>. Oh, you feel
that Carry <laugh>.

1149
00:42:30,945 --> 00:42:32,045
How about flip this table,

1150
00:42:32,685 --> 00:42:33,685
- <laugh>.

1151
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:35,925
- Um, what was the question again? The,

1152
00:42:36,225 --> 00:42:38,605
- Um, if you know art

1153
00:42:38,905 --> 00:42:40,885
and you're the mentor figure,
why haven't you used art

1154
00:42:40,955 --> 00:42:42,605
with him up to this point? You

1155
00:42:42,605 --> 00:42:45,045
- Know, I just get busy
with just long af end

1156
00:42:45,045 --> 00:42:46,965
of the long day, and I probably should,

1157
00:42:47,225 --> 00:42:48,925
but I don't, you know, that's

1158
00:42:49,045 --> 00:42:49,325
- Frustrating. So

1159
00:42:49,325 --> 00:42:50,805
- When you crawl into bed
at the end of the night

1160
00:42:51,145 --> 00:42:53,125
and you realize that you
didn't do anything to make

1161
00:42:53,125 --> 00:42:54,325
that connection, how
does that make you feel?

1162
00:42:54,905 --> 00:42:56,685
- Uh, timeout. What was that? That is, uh,

1163
00:42:57,155 --> 00:42:58,155
- That was the question.

1164
00:42:58,155 --> 00:42:59,325
When you crawl in bed, I wanna

1165
00:42:59,325 --> 00:43:01,085
- See transformer, but now
you're bouncing around.

1166
00:43:01,085 --> 00:43:02,085
- How, how does it make you feel? Oh,

1167
00:43:02,085 --> 00:43:04,045
- The feeling rally here.

1168
00:43:04,355 --> 00:43:06,285
- Confidant
- Horrible at this

1169
00:43:06,285 --> 00:43:07,285
- Case.

1170
00:43:07,285 --> 00:43:08,765
Con <laugh>. This is
doing great. No, you're

1171
00:43:08,765 --> 00:43:09,645
- Doing great. That's a little bit

1172
00:43:09,645 --> 00:43:10,645
- Vague.

1173
00:43:10,645 --> 00:43:12,485
It's two on one. So confidant, confidant

1174
00:43:12,485 --> 00:43:13,325
- Is about
- Feeling. Yeah.

1175
00:43:13,325 --> 00:43:15,525
- You just want, like, you're
checking in on my feelings.

1176
00:43:15,875 --> 00:43:17,005
- Yeah, exactly.
- So

1177
00:43:17,005 --> 00:43:18,565
how does it feel when I
crawl into bed at night

1178
00:43:18,665 --> 00:43:21,805
and I like, ah, I feel
like some ambivalence.

1179
00:43:21,805 --> 00:43:22,845
So man, he's grown up

1180
00:43:22,905 --> 00:43:25,205
and I'm gonna miss it
if I don't engage there

1181
00:43:25,225 --> 00:43:26,525
and Right. So,

1182
00:43:26,585 --> 00:43:28,165
- So
- What can you do to fix it? What

1183
00:43:28,165 --> 00:43:29,165
- Type of question is that?

1184
00:43:29,165 --> 00:43:31,085
Oh, I fix it. What, what
kind of strategy would

1185
00:43:31,085 --> 00:43:32,085
- You employ?

1186
00:43:32,085 --> 00:43:33,765
That's the, uh, the
strategist. Strategist, right?

1187
00:43:34,385 --> 00:43:36,565
And, uh, so what can I do to fix it?

1188
00:43:36,725 --> 00:43:38,405
I mean, obviously let's like,

1189
00:43:38,915 --> 00:43:40,765
just make it like part
of our bedtime routine.

1190
00:43:40,795 --> 00:43:42,445
Like every night we're
gonna That's a great idea.

1191
00:43:42,695 --> 00:43:45,445
Spend 10 minutes, 15
minutes, let's draw right?

1192
00:43:45,445 --> 00:43:46,525
Yeah. Wind down that way.

1193
00:43:46,955 --> 00:43:49,005
- What if you did it too, and I'm stepping

1194
00:43:49,005 --> 00:43:51,725
outside just a little bit,
but why you did it, do it

1195
00:43:51,725 --> 00:43:53,445
as like, you know, you draw a square

1196
00:43:53,705 --> 00:43:55,165
and he fills in another part,

1197
00:43:55,225 --> 00:43:56,325
and then you fill in another part,

1198
00:43:56,385 --> 00:43:58,645
and then it's the two of you creating oh,

1199
00:43:58,645 --> 00:43:59,725
one one piece of art

1200
00:44:00,205 --> 00:44:01,205
- Together.

1201
00:44:01,205 --> 00:44:03,045
So Kurt, when will you do
your first art with him?

1202
00:44:03,225 --> 00:44:06,165
- The rower. Rower?
- Yeah, buddy. Next step. I'll

1203
00:44:06,165 --> 00:44:07,525
- Do tonight. Jar. Yeah,

1204
00:44:07,895 --> 00:44:08,895
- Let's go.

1205
00:44:09,555 --> 00:44:10,565
Okay. Awesome. So right there,

1206
00:44:10,665 --> 00:44:13,405
you received a question
in each coaching style.

1207
00:44:13,755 --> 00:44:16,045
From your experience as
a coachee, what were kind

1208
00:44:16,045 --> 00:44:17,205
of the emotions that you went through

1209
00:44:17,265 --> 00:44:18,765
as you experienced different styles?

1210
00:44:18,945 --> 00:44:21,485
- You know, it really,
it really helps me kind

1211
00:44:21,485 --> 00:44:22,885
of get a well-rounded look.

1212
00:44:23,085 --> 00:44:26,565
I felt like I, you know, I was
looking at all angles of the,

1213
00:44:26,565 --> 00:44:27,645
of the situation, right?

1214
00:44:27,705 --> 00:44:29,725
And where it's like, 'cause I think the,

1215
00:44:29,865 --> 00:44:32,245
and correct me if I'm wrong,
but the temptation is,

1216
00:44:32,825 --> 00:44:35,045
you know, you you wanna just, just go

1217
00:44:35,925 --> 00:44:37,765
straight down the wormhole of strategist.

1218
00:44:37,765 --> 00:44:39,605
Yep. And we're just gonna, Hey, you know

1219
00:44:39,605 --> 00:44:40,605
- What?

1220
00:44:40,605 --> 00:44:40,765
You should do strateg tonight

1221
00:44:40,765 --> 00:44:42,245
before you, he taste him goes to bed,

1222
00:44:42,705 --> 00:44:43,805
you should draw with him

1223
00:44:44,305 --> 00:44:45,305
- And yeah.

1224
00:44:45,305 --> 00:44:46,165
So go do that. Go do that.

1225
00:44:46,165 --> 00:44:47,685
And then it's sort of like,
we're done here, I guess. Yeah.

1226
00:44:47,785 --> 00:44:49,285
Uh, all right, <laugh>, thanks.

1227
00:44:49,325 --> 00:44:51,165
- That'll be, that'll be $200. Yeah,

1228
00:44:51,305 --> 00:44:54,165
- But that's because you are
in a strategist mode, right?

1229
00:44:54,165 --> 00:44:56,125
Right. And so if you're always in the

1230
00:44:56,125 --> 00:44:57,565
strategist and always trying to fix it.

1231
00:44:57,585 --> 00:44:58,845
You mentioned earlier that

1232
00:44:58,845 --> 00:45:00,285
like, have, have you seen the video?

1233
00:45:00,285 --> 00:45:01,685
It's not about the nail. Yeah. Oh, yes.

1234
00:45:01,795 --> 00:45:02,795
- Okay.
- Right

1235
00:45:02,875 --> 00:45:04,085
- Into it. It's
phenomenal. You gotta watch

1236
00:45:04,085 --> 00:45:05,085
- It.

1237
00:45:05,085 --> 00:45:07,605
But like in there, the husband
is being a strategist, trying

1238
00:45:07,605 --> 00:45:08,725
to solve the nail in the head,

1239
00:45:09,105 --> 00:45:11,525
and the wife wants a confidant,
she wants somebody to listen

1240
00:45:11,665 --> 00:45:12,725
and not solve anything.

1241
00:45:12,745 --> 00:45:15,885
Mm-Hmm. And that's why you have
to tailor it to the coachee.

1242
00:45:15,885 --> 00:45:17,605
Mm-Hmm. Because the ee may not wanna

1243
00:45:17,605 --> 00:45:18,645
remove the nail from the head.

1244
00:45:18,835 --> 00:45:22,125
They may wanna just let you
hear what's going on. So tell

1245
00:45:22,125 --> 00:45:23,845
- Me about that dynamic of like, in those,

1246
00:45:24,235 --> 00:45:27,365
when you're interacting with
that coachee, like, like

1247
00:45:27,505 --> 00:45:29,645
how can you tell like, oh, I'm,

1248
00:45:29,705 --> 00:45:31,965
I'm going down the wrong
path here, let's regroup

1249
00:45:32,065 --> 00:45:33,365
and go down a different path.

1250
00:45:33,465 --> 00:45:36,365
Or is that okay? You just
sort of regroup anyways.

1251
00:45:37,025 --> 00:45:38,725
- So I'll give maybe an extreme

1252
00:45:38,725 --> 00:45:39,805
example that comes to my mind.

1253
00:45:39,805 --> 00:45:41,085
Bishop is talking to a youth,

1254
00:45:41,345 --> 00:45:44,925
and the youth comes in for
an unscheduled appointment

1255
00:45:44,945 --> 00:45:46,165
and the bishop leads with,

1256
00:45:46,265 --> 00:45:47,885
so you're looking at
pornography, aren't you?

1257
00:45:48,355 --> 00:45:50,165
- Provocateur,
- Provocateur, <laugh>.

1258
00:45:50,305 --> 00:45:52,365
And the youth says, no, I'm not.

1259
00:45:52,545 --> 00:45:54,365
I'm actually having a hard
time with my relationship

1260
00:45:54,365 --> 00:45:57,685
with my parents that Bishop
would not follow up with.

1261
00:45:57,945 --> 00:45:59,645
Why are you having
problems with your parents?

1262
00:45:59,745 --> 00:46:00,645
Is it 'cause you're not looking

1263
00:46:00,825 --> 00:46:01,965
or you, I don't know what it is.

1264
00:46:01,965 --> 00:46:03,845
Right? I don't know. I don't what I'm

1265
00:46:03,885 --> 00:46:04,885
- Supposed to say.

1266
00:46:04,885 --> 00:46:06,205
- I was trying to go
provocate. What's a good follow

1267
00:46:06,205 --> 00:46:07,205
- Up to that?

1268
00:46:07,205 --> 00:46:08,245
Yeah, no, it's good. We're
not bishops, so Yeah,

1269
00:46:08,245 --> 00:46:09,445
- We're
- Not obviously <laugh>.

1270
00:46:09,985 --> 00:46:14,245
- Um, but like, if you continue
in that provocateur thing

1271
00:46:14,465 --> 00:46:16,405
of Yeah, well, why aren't you improving

1272
00:46:16,405 --> 00:46:17,485
your relationship with your parents?

1273
00:46:18,245 --> 00:46:19,245
- Probably 'cause you're
secretly looking at

1274
00:46:19,245 --> 00:46:20,205
pornography. Yeah. Boom.

1275
00:46:20,345 --> 00:46:21,965
- See, that was so much
better. You nailed it.

1276
00:46:22,225 --> 00:46:23,325
- That's why you're the host. Yeah.

1277
00:46:23,325 --> 00:46:25,365
- Yeah. So, um, that's not good, right?

1278
00:46:25,435 --> 00:46:28,365
When that youth says No,
I'm actually here to talk

1279
00:46:28,365 --> 00:46:30,685
to you about how my parents
and my relationship with them.

1280
00:46:31,155 --> 00:46:32,965
What do you think that
Bishop would switch to

1281
00:46:33,665 --> 00:46:35,205
- The, uh, confidant,
right? The confidant,

1282
00:46:35,205 --> 00:46:36,205
- Yeah.

1283
00:46:36,205 --> 00:46:37,565
Oh, how are you feeling?
What's going hard? Right.

1284
00:46:37,565 --> 00:46:39,765
That sounds really hard.
Yeah. And then it really

1285
00:46:39,765 --> 00:46:42,285
- Could be a transition
to, into almost any style.

1286
00:46:42,315 --> 00:46:43,325
Yeah. Right? Mm-Hmm.

1287
00:46:43,365 --> 00:46:44,485
<affirmative> because it could be, oh,

1288
00:46:44,515 --> 00:46:45,965
tell me, tell me how that feels.

1289
00:46:46,035 --> 00:46:47,805
Tell me what you're feeling or

1290
00:46:48,355 --> 00:46:49,725
what have you learned about your parents?

1291
00:46:50,215 --> 00:46:53,045
Right. Help me understand what that means.

1292
00:46:53,045 --> 00:46:54,725
That you're having a hard
time with your parent. Right.

1293
00:46:54,725 --> 00:46:56,605
That's three different
styles off top of my head

1294
00:46:56,605 --> 00:46:59,005
that just are different than provocateur.

1295
00:47:00,035 --> 00:47:01,245
It's really, you're, you're kind

1296
00:47:01,245 --> 00:47:02,365
of asking the same question,

1297
00:47:02,585 --> 00:47:03,725
but it's with this different,

1298
00:47:04,035 --> 00:47:05,525
with a different style, different tone.

1299
00:47:05,705 --> 00:47:07,365
- And there are times where you need

1300
00:47:07,365 --> 00:47:08,525
to stick in the same style

1301
00:47:08,865 --> 00:47:09,805
and you should just have an

1302
00:47:09,805 --> 00:47:11,165
entire coaching session that way.

1303
00:47:11,225 --> 00:47:13,405
And you should never pivot.
Right? And that's okay.

1304
00:47:13,475 --> 00:47:15,845
It's all about knowing
the needs of the coachee.

1305
00:47:15,845 --> 00:47:17,485
So that's why the framework is

1306
00:47:17,675 --> 00:47:19,685
what do I know about the person right

1307
00:47:19,685 --> 00:47:20,765
now in the circumstance?

1308
00:47:20,825 --> 00:47:23,485
And ev all my aggregated
contextual considerations.

1309
00:47:23,955 --> 00:47:27,165
Pick a coaching style. I'm
gonna start with provocateur.

1310
00:47:27,785 --> 00:47:28,885
I'm gonna ask a question

1311
00:47:29,545 --> 00:47:30,925
and then I'm gonna see the response.

1312
00:47:31,145 --> 00:47:33,165
The response was not what I expected.

1313
00:47:33,665 --> 00:47:35,805
I'm now gonna go back to the
beginning of the framework

1314
00:47:35,945 --> 00:47:38,085
and say, okay, now that
I know that didn't work,

1315
00:47:38,095 --> 00:47:39,685
which coaching style now?

1316
00:47:39,785 --> 00:47:41,805
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. Try
it out. See how it goes.

1317
00:47:41,945 --> 00:47:44,485
You may stay in it, you may
pivot Two different style. Yeah.

1318
00:47:44,875 --> 00:47:47,645
- Yeah. It's two questions come to mind,

1319
00:47:47,645 --> 00:47:49,645
which aren't necessarily later,
but let's go with this one.

1320
00:47:49,645 --> 00:47:52,045
Like, like if you had
like a, like when someone

1321
00:47:52,515 --> 00:47:54,565
that you've never coached
with, I'm just thinking of

1322
00:47:54,565 --> 00:47:55,765
that appointment that walks in

1323
00:47:55,765 --> 00:47:57,485
or you're having that
ministering interview with a,

1324
00:47:57,545 --> 00:47:58,845
the brother you don't necessarily know.

1325
00:47:58,865 --> 00:48:02,285
Is there a, a good question or
two to like, just start with

1326
00:48:03,205 --> 00:48:04,885
- I default to explore? Yeah.

1327
00:48:04,885 --> 00:48:06,325
- That's where
- I usually start.

1328
00:48:07,045 --> 00:48:08,725
- I usually, if someone reaches out to me

1329
00:48:08,725 --> 00:48:10,765
and says, Hey, I wanna come in
and I wanna, I wanna sit down

1330
00:48:10,765 --> 00:48:13,205
with you and talk to you,
I'll usually just sit there

1331
00:48:13,625 --> 00:48:15,125
and like, wait for them. Right.

1332
00:48:15,765 --> 00:48:17,005
- A good grin on your face.
- Yeah.

1333
00:48:17,005 --> 00:48:20,125
Just like you schedule this
meeting, so Yeah. Yeah.

1334
00:48:20,125 --> 00:48:22,205
But yeah, I think explores a great,

1335
00:48:22,515 --> 00:48:24,325
- What would you like to talk
about about today? Mm-Hmm.

1336
00:48:24,365 --> 00:48:25,365
- <affirmative> to start with. Yeah.

1337
00:48:25,365 --> 00:48:26,805
- Yeah. And then from there you may pivot

1338
00:48:26,825 --> 00:48:28,165
to a different one and For
sure, because you'll see

1339
00:48:28,165 --> 00:48:29,165
- What they say.

1340
00:48:29,165 --> 00:48:30,845
Yeah. Yeah. It could lead you
a lot of different directions.

1341
00:48:30,845 --> 00:48:33,085
You may continue and explore
for a long time. Yeah.

1342
00:48:33,625 --> 00:48:34,965
- And then the other question is, uh,

1343
00:48:35,105 --> 00:48:37,805
around the provocateur one
that seems, I mean, again,

1344
00:48:37,805 --> 00:48:39,965
it's the uncomfortable place
even for the coach, right?

1345
00:48:39,965 --> 00:48:41,565
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. And
for the leaders, like, yeah,

1346
00:48:41,695 --> 00:48:43,805
let's just, let's start
with every other one.

1347
00:48:44,025 --> 00:48:45,725
And if we have to go there, we will.

1348
00:48:45,725 --> 00:48:48,005
- But if we have time,
- Because like there's such, this,

1349
00:48:48,205 --> 00:48:52,045
I think naturally this may be
the case for all leadership

1350
00:48:52,045 --> 00:48:53,605
or whatnot, but as a church leader,

1351
00:48:53,665 --> 00:48:54,805
you wanna be like the rally,

1352
00:48:54,805 --> 00:48:57,725
or you wanna be the guy that
promotes faith, you know,

1353
00:48:58,305 --> 00:49:00,405
you just gotta reinvest in the church.

1354
00:49:00,535 --> 00:49:02,005
It'll be great. But,

1355
00:49:02,005 --> 00:49:04,925
and so going to the
provocateurs, sometimes there's

1356
00:49:04,925 --> 00:49:06,965
that resistance where I
kind of think, you know,

1357
00:49:07,145 --> 00:49:09,445
the person maybe is coming in

1358
00:49:09,445 --> 00:49:11,605
and struggling with, with
doubt, you know, in the gospel.

1359
00:49:11,905 --> 00:49:14,765
And they're expecting you to
sort of shift in that rally,

1360
00:49:14,785 --> 00:49:17,085
or well just read your scriptures, pray.

1361
00:49:17,705 --> 00:49:20,845
And so what, what would the,
I guess I wanna make it more

1362
00:49:21,355 --> 00:49:23,085
realistic for leaders.

1363
00:49:23,085 --> 00:49:24,165
Like what were the provocateur?

1364
00:49:24,285 --> 00:49:26,365
- I think a good provocateur
question in that situation,

1365
00:49:26,365 --> 00:49:27,965
at least the one that came to my mind was,

1366
00:49:28,275 --> 00:49:30,965
when was the last time
that you had a sincere,

1367
00:49:31,105 --> 00:49:33,365
honest conversation with
your father in heaven?

1368
00:49:34,065 --> 00:49:36,325
When's the last time you
really prayed? Mm-Hmm.

1369
00:49:36,785 --> 00:49:39,885
- And when they say, I haven't
for a while, why not? Mm-Hmm.

1370
00:49:39,925 --> 00:49:41,605
<affirmative>. What's
holding you back from

1371
00:49:41,605 --> 00:49:43,605
conversing with your own
father. Gotcha. Yeah.

1372
00:49:43,605 --> 00:49:46,245
- Yeah. And this is a, I took a,

1373
00:49:46,285 --> 00:49:48,765
a sales training years ago
when I was working in sales

1374
00:49:48,765 --> 00:49:50,685
and there was this, uh,
strategy that you talked about,

1375
00:49:50,685 --> 00:49:52,565
and it was a little bit in
this column of provocateur

1376
00:49:52,565 --> 00:49:55,925
where if a person says, well,
I'm thinking about going

1377
00:49:55,925 --> 00:49:57,845
with this, the competitor,
you know, he is like,

1378
00:49:57,845 --> 00:49:59,045
great, they're fantastic.

1379
00:49:59,425 --> 00:50:00,645
Why don't you do that? You know?

1380
00:50:00,645 --> 00:50:01,885
And then sort of they're like, well,

1381
00:50:01,965 --> 00:50:03,005
I thought you were gonna Yeah.

1382
00:50:03,365 --> 00:50:04,365
Convince me not to. Right?

1383
00:50:04,505 --> 00:50:06,445
And so, almost being like, in the end,

1384
00:50:06,445 --> 00:50:08,245
there's this resistance,
I wanna be the bishops.

1385
00:50:08,245 --> 00:50:10,125
Like, maybe you should go inactive. Yeah.

1386
00:50:10,145 --> 00:50:11,525
Why don't you, you know, but then

1387
00:50:11,525 --> 00:50:14,485
nonetheless, you're not, you're
not saying going provocateur

1388
00:50:14,545 --> 00:50:15,805
to push them a certain direction.

1389
00:50:15,945 --> 00:50:18,045
You're just saying, let's just
see where this goes. Right.

1390
00:50:18,475 --> 00:50:21,085
- Have you, Kurt, received
hard feedback in your life?

1391
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,285
- Yes. - How has that shaped
you into who you're today?

1392
00:50:24,305 --> 00:50:25,605
- Oh, it's crucial.

1393
00:50:25,795 --> 00:50:27,485
- It's transform, by the
way. Yeah. It's crucial.

1394
00:50:27,545 --> 00:50:28,845
Why is it crucial? Because,

1395
00:50:29,105 --> 00:50:31,245
- Uh, it helps me gain self-awareness,

1396
00:50:31,495 --> 00:50:34,125
which I only can look this
way outta my eyeballs.

1397
00:50:34,125 --> 00:50:36,485
You know, I can't <laugh>,
I rarely see myself for

1398
00:50:37,025 --> 00:50:38,205
how other people perceive

1399
00:50:38,205 --> 00:50:39,205
- Me.

1400
00:50:39,205 --> 00:50:41,085
So if you were the bishop in
your ward, wouldn't you want

1401
00:50:41,085 --> 00:50:42,645
that same thing for the
people in your ward?

1402
00:50:42,645 --> 00:50:44,605
Yeah, absolutely. That's why you have

1403
00:50:44,605 --> 00:50:46,165
to embrace provocateur.

1404
00:50:46,225 --> 00:50:48,765
That's why you have to lean
into it and ask those questions.

1405
00:50:49,045 --> 00:50:50,205
'cause it creates that self-awareness

1406
00:50:50,305 --> 00:50:53,525
and it lets you see things that
you were unaware of before.

1407
00:50:53,715 --> 00:50:55,725
Yeah. It's identifying the

1408
00:50:55,725 --> 00:50:56,845
blind spot. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

1409
00:50:57,185 --> 00:51:01,205
- And it doesn't have to
be a nasty, it doesn't have

1410
00:51:01,205 --> 00:51:02,245
to be uncomfortable

1411
00:51:02,385 --> 00:51:05,325
and finger in somebody's
chest provocateur.

1412
00:51:05,555 --> 00:51:08,405
Yeah. In my mind, provocateur
is just about getting someone

1413
00:51:08,505 --> 00:51:10,565
to think of something from
a different perspective.

1414
00:51:10,785 --> 00:51:13,045
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. Right.
Seeing a different path,

1415
00:51:13,425 --> 00:51:14,565
seeing a pothole.

1416
00:51:14,975 --> 00:51:18,285
Right. It's not, oh, why are
you such a jerk all the time?

1417
00:51:18,675 --> 00:51:22,085
It's just, Hey, when you,
it doesn't have to be that.

1418
00:51:22,265 --> 00:51:24,565
- So if we go back to that
example of the youth going

1419
00:51:24,565 --> 00:51:26,565
to the bishop saying, I wanna
talk to you about my parents.

1420
00:51:26,925 --> 00:51:30,045
A provocateur question that's
not harmful is talk to them.

1421
00:51:30,265 --> 00:51:32,885
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, how
are they doing? Right? Yeah.

1422
00:51:32,885 --> 00:51:35,125
Like, what have you learned
from their experience?

1423
00:51:35,285 --> 00:51:36,525
I mean, that's not rude or harmful,

1424
00:51:36,625 --> 00:51:38,805
but it's just saying, have
you even had the conversation?

1425
00:51:38,835 --> 00:51:41,245
Yeah. Because if you haven't,
it's a great place to start.

1426
00:51:41,245 --> 00:51:42,765
- Right, strategist. Yeah.

1427
00:51:42,765 --> 00:51:44,765
Because I think there's
this, maybe this feeling of

1428
00:51:44,765 --> 00:51:46,005
with Proctor, you almost have

1429
00:51:46,005 --> 00:51:47,365
to like punch him in
the gut while you do it.

1430
00:51:47,365 --> 00:51:49,125
Yeah. Like almost an
insult. Like not at all.

1431
00:51:49,125 --> 00:51:50,005
Well, maybe it's 'cause you're stupid.

1432
00:51:50,005 --> 00:51:51,125
Have you considered <laugh>?

1433
00:51:51,125 --> 00:51:52,525
Exactly. Exactly. Like,

1434
00:51:52,705 --> 00:51:54,925
that's very provocative,
a provocative question.

1435
00:51:54,985 --> 00:51:57,565
But again, you're not like
trying to attack him or,

1436
00:51:58,145 --> 00:52:00,765
but to really, you want him
just really look at it like,

1437
00:52:00,765 --> 00:52:02,485
well, haven't you talked to your parents?

1438
00:52:02,485 --> 00:52:05,045
Like, why not? Like, that
seems like something you should

1439
00:52:05,205 --> 00:52:06,205
- Consider.

1440
00:52:06,205 --> 00:52:07,245
Yeah. And the other thing
to kinda keep in mind,

1441
00:52:07,365 --> 00:52:10,005
I think why provocateur
is important is coaching,

1442
00:52:10,005 --> 00:52:12,125
once again, is not top down.

1443
00:52:12,395 --> 00:52:14,765
It's side to side, it's bottom
up. It's every direction.

1444
00:52:15,305 --> 00:52:18,125
And I think that leaders in
the church today are getting a

1445
00:52:18,285 --> 00:52:21,325
lot of questions that are
bottom up provocateur questions.

1446
00:52:21,945 --> 00:52:23,445
Why can't we do this?

1447
00:52:23,775 --> 00:52:26,805
Where in the doctrine does it
say that this is not allowed?

1448
00:52:27,585 --> 00:52:32,085
And that's where Jesus was
so good at using provocateur

1449
00:52:32,105 --> 00:52:34,405
and teaching us that you
can coach any direction

1450
00:52:34,405 --> 00:52:37,645
that you need to and
create that safe place.

1451
00:52:37,645 --> 00:52:40,445
Because provocateur comes
from a place of love.

1452
00:52:40,745 --> 00:52:42,045
I'm asking this hard question

1453
00:52:42,505 --> 00:52:45,325
and instead of saying, how
dare you ask if we can drink

1454
00:52:45,385 --> 00:52:47,965
coffee, why not say, I'm

1455
00:52:47,965 --> 00:52:50,685
so glad you're here
feeling safe enough to ask.

1456
00:52:50,785 --> 00:52:52,525
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, let's
have a discussion about it.

1457
00:52:52,535 --> 00:52:56,005
Right? Like, look for the
good, the provocateur is,

1458
00:52:56,005 --> 00:52:57,885
this isn't a hard question,
I should run the other way.

1459
00:52:58,475 --> 00:53:00,725
It's what's the gift in
this moment to be able

1460
00:53:00,725 --> 00:53:02,325
to have that dialogue? Yeah.

1461
00:53:02,625 --> 00:53:03,805
- And I appreciate this, you know,

1462
00:53:03,805 --> 00:53:05,245
you say coaching side to side.

1463
00:53:05,245 --> 00:53:07,165
Yeah. I mean that alone,
regardless of the different

1464
00:53:07,685 --> 00:53:09,605
coaching styles, like just starting from

1465
00:53:09,605 --> 00:53:10,965
that cadence is Yeah.

1466
00:53:11,065 --> 00:53:12,445
Is crucial. Because it sometimes,

1467
00:53:12,505 --> 00:53:15,725
and I even, I struggle with even the setup

1468
00:53:15,905 --> 00:53:17,245
of like a bishop's office.

1469
00:53:17,275 --> 00:53:20,445
Like I'm behind this
Cadillac desk <laugh>. Yeah.

1470
00:53:20,745 --> 00:53:22,085
And here's my, you know, I'm like,

1471
00:53:22,185 --> 00:53:23,925
I'm in the Oval Office, welcome.

1472
00:53:24,115 --> 00:53:26,205
Like suddenly you're, it's up down.

1473
00:53:26,205 --> 00:53:27,765
Like I am the authority in the room.

1474
00:53:27,825 --> 00:53:29,805
And we obviously believe
in authority and whatnot,

1475
00:53:29,825 --> 00:53:33,085
but for them to really go on this journey

1476
00:53:33,225 --> 00:53:35,965
of understanding their
situation, finding solutions

1477
00:53:35,985 --> 00:53:38,565
or whatever it is, it has
to be that side to side.

1478
00:53:38,565 --> 00:53:40,405
So really for a leader to think,

1479
00:53:40,425 --> 00:53:41,725
how can I make this more side

1480
00:53:41,725 --> 00:53:43,925
to side rather than, you know, top down.

1481
00:53:43,975 --> 00:53:46,405
- Which also makes you think
if you are in a leadership

1482
00:53:46,605 --> 00:53:48,765
position in the church, how
can you empower those that,

1483
00:53:48,835 --> 00:53:50,805
that are also called in your presidency

1484
00:53:50,905 --> 00:53:52,005
or in other positions

1485
00:53:52,005 --> 00:53:53,605
to help carry out some of that workload.

1486
00:53:53,605 --> 00:53:55,845
Yeah. And go have some of
these conversations. Mm-Hmm.

1487
00:53:55,885 --> 00:53:57,045
<affirmative>, we shouldn't keep

1488
00:53:57,045 --> 00:53:58,405
everything so close to the chest.

1489
00:53:58,545 --> 00:54:00,845
We should be delegating
that amongst others

1490
00:54:00,845 --> 00:54:03,765
because we're all capable
of being great coaches.

1491
00:54:03,985 --> 00:54:06,045
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. We just
need to empower the people

1492
00:54:06,045 --> 00:54:07,605
around us to have the discussion.

1493
00:54:07,635 --> 00:54:11,965
- Yeah. Love it. Anything else
we're missing? Concept, idea.

1494
00:54:12,645 --> 00:54:16,405
- I think the only other thing
to address is just, uh, one

1495
00:54:16,405 --> 00:54:17,965
of the things that you can
do with a question is you can

1496
00:54:17,965 --> 00:54:19,605
make it either direct or indirect.

1497
00:54:20,065 --> 00:54:22,965
So a direct question
is, why did you do that?

1498
00:54:23,505 --> 00:54:26,525
An indirect is why could
you have done that? Mm-Hmm.

1499
00:54:26,525 --> 00:54:27,885
Or why might you have done that?

1500
00:54:28,465 --> 00:54:32,485
And I think about these as
where the focus is, right?

1501
00:54:32,995 --> 00:54:34,165
When we, the first question

1502
00:54:34,165 --> 00:54:35,725
that we asked in the
coaching conversation,

1503
00:54:35,725 --> 00:54:37,245
what's something you'd like to talk about

1504
00:54:37,625 --> 00:54:39,285
that's very indirect.

1505
00:54:39,595 --> 00:54:42,005
Something, anything, whatever.

1506
00:54:42,495 --> 00:54:43,885
Where we could have gone direct

1507
00:54:43,945 --> 00:54:46,365
and said, what's something
about the podcast

1508
00:54:46,635 --> 00:54:48,325
that we could give you some coaching on?

1509
00:54:48,325 --> 00:54:49,965
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. That's
a little bit more narrow.

1510
00:54:50,295 --> 00:54:52,405
Right? What coaching do you need

1511
00:54:52,405 --> 00:54:53,765
to help your son taste some Hill?

1512
00:54:53,985 --> 00:54:55,365
Is his middle name Hill <laugh>? It's

1513
00:54:55,365 --> 00:54:58,085
- Not, it's actually, it's
been name as Kurt, actually. Oh

1514
00:54:58,085 --> 00:54:59,085
- Wow.

1515
00:54:59,085 --> 00:54:59,165
That's not great. His named

1516
00:54:59,165 --> 00:55:01,325
- After Te a Mills. I'm that guy. Okay.

1517
00:55:01,525 --> 00:55:03,485
- <laugh>.
- And there's no reason not to be

1518
00:55:03,485 --> 00:55:04,885
that guy. Yeah. Because he's

1519
00:55:04,935 --> 00:55:06,525
- Right. Yes. Just amazing.

1520
00:55:06,595 --> 00:55:07,925
- Very, uh, that that was a

1521
00:55:08,075 --> 00:55:09,845
confidant. Yes. You just said there. That

1522
00:55:09,845 --> 00:55:10,845
- Was great.

1523
00:55:10,845 --> 00:55:11,075
Boom.

1524
00:55:12,275 --> 00:55:13,965
- Love it. Is there any, you know,

1525
00:55:13,965 --> 00:55:15,085
we talk about provocateur.

1526
00:55:15,185 --> 00:55:18,085
Is there any other style
that you find people resist

1527
00:55:18,145 --> 00:55:20,365
or that's like the last
place they want to go or?

1528
00:55:20,925 --> 00:55:23,005
- I think that transformer's
hard for a lot of people

1529
00:55:23,075 --> 00:55:25,605
because transformer is two parted.

1530
00:55:25,865 --> 00:55:27,765
The first part is you see the potential

1531
00:55:27,875 --> 00:55:29,325
that light at the end of the tunnel.

1532
00:55:29,665 --> 00:55:31,485
How much better will your
relationship with taste

1533
00:55:31,485 --> 00:55:32,965
and be as you infuse art?

1534
00:55:33,275 --> 00:55:35,525
Fast forward six months,
you're doing art every night.

1535
00:55:35,525 --> 00:55:36,685
What's your relationship look like?

1536
00:55:36,795 --> 00:55:38,525
Your potential's high,
right? Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

1537
00:55:38,525 --> 00:55:40,845
Oh, I can see that. But the other part

1538
00:55:40,845 --> 00:55:42,885
of the transformer is transmuting it.

1539
00:55:43,195 --> 00:55:45,765
It's pushing through the
discomfort and the pain

1540
00:55:45,985 --> 00:55:47,925
and acknowledging that it exists.

1541
00:55:48,885 --> 00:55:51,845
A great coach will help you
when you are transmuting pain

1542
00:55:51,905 --> 00:55:54,845
and transformer realize that it is,

1543
00:55:55,245 --> 00:55:56,325
I think about it like the force.

1544
00:55:56,995 --> 00:55:58,765
It's just part of the
force. It's over there.

1545
00:55:58,765 --> 00:56:01,085
It's over here. It doesn't control you,

1546
00:56:01,265 --> 00:56:02,285
you don't control it.

1547
00:56:02,315 --> 00:56:04,485
It's just part of what God created for us.

1548
00:56:04,945 --> 00:56:06,005
And you kinda mentioned earlier,

1549
00:56:06,025 --> 00:56:07,325
we have those conversations with someone.

1550
00:56:07,345 --> 00:56:08,685
We can go provocateur and they say,

1551
00:56:08,685 --> 00:56:09,725
I don't believe in Joseph Smith.

1552
00:56:10,305 --> 00:56:15,045
Or the transmuting of that is,
there are people, this plan

1553
00:56:15,045 --> 00:56:17,445
that God created gave us choice.

1554
00:56:18,025 --> 00:56:20,565
And there are people who
choose to see things different.

1555
00:56:21,105 --> 00:56:23,660
And that's beautiful. Isn't
that beautiful? Right.

1556
00:56:23,705 --> 00:56:25,525
And you kind of like live in that moment.

1557
00:56:25,715 --> 00:56:28,525
Instead of going to like the
knee jerk, oh, I'm gonna fight

1558
00:56:28,525 --> 00:56:30,365
or flight go provocateur on you.

1559
00:56:30,385 --> 00:56:32,565
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. You
just say, I'm gonna see

1560
00:56:32,565 --> 00:56:34,205
that I've got some things
I'm working through.

1561
00:56:34,465 --> 00:56:35,685
I'm gonna live with those things

1562
00:56:35,985 --> 00:56:38,645
and I'm gonna work it out
as part of the force, know

1563
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:40,045
that it's there and then I'm gonna be able

1564
00:56:40,045 --> 00:56:41,885
to see the future potential that I have.

1565
00:56:42,625 --> 00:56:45,205
And so often in transformer as coaches,

1566
00:56:45,825 --> 00:56:47,965
we go really hard on the, the potential.

1567
00:56:48,065 --> 00:56:51,005
And we go really fast on the
transmuting of that pain,

1568
00:56:51,145 --> 00:56:52,645
and we need to go deep into that.

1569
00:56:52,645 --> 00:56:54,445
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> like,
why do you feel this way?

1570
00:56:54,475 --> 00:56:55,965
It's a lot of confidant questions Yeah.

1571
00:56:55,965 --> 00:56:58,045
About helping you see what's going on

1572
00:56:58,225 --> 00:57:00,005
and creating that doubt in your mind

1573
00:57:00,585 --> 00:57:03,805
to then help you unlock
your future potential. Yeah.

1574
00:57:04,225 --> 00:57:05,605
- Wow. That's powerful. Really helpful.

1575
00:57:05,755 --> 00:57:07,765
- I'll give you an example
of that if I can. Mm-Hmm.

1576
00:57:08,065 --> 00:57:10,005
So my oldest son has cerebral palsy.

1577
00:57:10,385 --> 00:57:11,605
And when he was first born

1578
00:57:11,625 --> 00:57:14,445
and got that diagnosis,
it was really hard, right.

1579
00:57:14,465 --> 00:57:16,725
We thought about all the
negative things to it,

1580
00:57:17,225 --> 00:57:19,445
but then there came this
point where we had this

1581
00:57:19,965 --> 00:57:21,805
transformer moment, my wife and I,

1582
00:57:22,305 --> 00:57:23,685
and we gotta, this, you know,

1583
00:57:24,075 --> 00:57:25,485
when I present on the Gallup Strength

1584
00:57:25,485 --> 00:57:26,765
Finders, I talk about weakness.

1585
00:57:26,785 --> 00:57:28,925
And I show a picture of of my son Max,

1586
00:57:29,705 --> 00:57:31,045
who loves podcasts by the way.

1587
00:57:31,045 --> 00:57:32,805
He wants to, he wants to be a podcaster.

1588
00:57:32,805 --> 00:57:34,885
So maybe I'll have to connect
you too. That's right. Yeah.

1589
00:57:35,305 --> 00:57:38,325
But I talk about, you
know, I ask the question,

1590
00:57:38,325 --> 00:57:39,685
is cerebral palsy a weakness?

1591
00:57:40,225 --> 00:57:41,525
And funny enough,

1592
00:57:41,525 --> 00:57:43,485
nobody really ever says,
oh yeah, it's terrible.

1593
00:57:43,825 --> 00:57:45,325
But you know, I, I go through

1594
00:57:45,345 --> 00:57:48,125
and I show some of the things
that he's done in his life,

1595
00:57:48,625 --> 00:57:50,085
and I'm like, that's not a weakness.

1596
00:57:50,085 --> 00:57:51,765
That's his superpower. You know?

1597
00:57:51,765 --> 00:57:54,605
And I remember one of
the, a coaching I had

1598
00:57:54,605 --> 00:57:57,485
with Jared when I talked to
him about a difficult situation

1599
00:57:58,025 --> 00:58:00,525
and something that I felt like,
you know, like a diagnosis.

1600
00:58:00,545 --> 00:58:02,245
And he said, gosh, what
a great superpower.

1601
00:58:02,585 --> 00:58:03,685
And now you know what it's,

1602
00:58:04,185 --> 00:58:06,365
and at first I was like,
what whatcha talking about?

1603
00:58:06,865 --> 00:58:09,125
And then as I embrace
that, I was like, yeah,

1604
00:58:09,125 --> 00:58:10,165
it is a superpower.

1605
00:58:10,735 --> 00:58:13,365
Right? And it's, that's what
I love about the transformer,

1606
00:58:13,365 --> 00:58:15,805
is it's taking those things
that are hard in our life

1607
00:58:16,425 --> 00:58:18,285
and turning them into, into a blessing.

1608
00:58:18,965 --> 00:58:21,245
I like to think about, uh, stoicism and,

1609
00:58:21,305 --> 00:58:24,365
and the obstacle is the way,
and, and nothing is good

1610
00:58:24,365 --> 00:58:27,045
or bad until thinking makes it
so is what Shakespeare said.

1611
00:58:27,065 --> 00:58:29,365
And I love being able
for people, you know,

1612
00:58:29,365 --> 00:58:32,605
this person I'm coaching who
lost their job now being able

1613
00:58:32,605 --> 00:58:34,045
to say, would you be

1614
00:58:34,045 --> 00:58:36,125
where you are today if
you hadn't got fired?

1615
00:58:36,585 --> 00:58:39,965
And they're like, no. And this
place is amazing. Awesome.

1616
00:58:40,425 --> 00:58:43,325
- So I wanna ask you in terms
of, we talked early about this

1617
00:58:43,875 --> 00:58:45,045
even, you know, there it is.

1618
00:58:45,045 --> 00:58:46,405
Not just these one-to-one interactions.

1619
00:58:46,405 --> 00:58:47,885
It's really, it's a cultural thing. Yes.

1620
00:58:47,885 --> 00:58:49,805
You're building a culture of
these different styles, right?

1621
00:58:50,305 --> 00:58:51,885
I'm just thinking like different meetings,

1622
00:58:51,885 --> 00:58:54,445
like even in ward council,
if you're the bishop

1623
00:58:54,585 --> 00:58:57,565
or bishop member, you're
leading ward council, you can go

1624
00:58:57,565 --> 00:58:59,485
to these different styles
at different points

1625
00:59:00,185 --> 00:59:01,965
to stimulate revelation really.

1626
00:59:01,965 --> 00:59:04,365
Right. And really get the thoughts out

1627
00:59:04,365 --> 00:59:05,925
of their head into the
meeting to consider.

1628
00:59:05,935 --> 00:59:08,405
Right. Anything you would add to that or

1629
00:59:08,895 --> 00:59:10,565
- Every single conversation is an

1630
00:59:10,565 --> 00:59:11,605
opportunity to provide coaching.

1631
00:59:11,605 --> 00:59:13,445
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. And to
be thoughtful about it. Right.

1632
00:59:13,505 --> 00:59:15,645
And how you can help those
people, those coaches,

1633
00:59:15,755 --> 00:59:17,685
whoever they are, advance
where they need to be.

1634
00:59:17,685 --> 00:59:19,725
Yeah. This podcast today
is a great example of that.

1635
00:59:19,735 --> 00:59:22,085
We've used every style
multiple times. Yeah.

1636
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:23,765
And we've had a lot of different emotions

1637
00:59:23,865 --> 00:59:26,205
and a lot of, like, it's
led the dialogue a lot

1638
00:59:26,205 --> 00:59:27,685
of interesting ways that like Matt

1639
00:59:27,685 --> 00:59:28,885
and I weren't prepared for Mm-Hmm.

1640
00:59:28,905 --> 00:59:30,045
Nor were you, but it's

1641
00:59:30,045 --> 00:59:31,605
because we followed the needs of

1642
00:59:31,605 --> 00:59:32,925
where we needed to go together.

1643
00:59:33,075 --> 00:59:35,645
Yeah. So yeah, definitely
embrace those things.

1644
00:59:36,225 --> 00:59:40,285
And I think a common
pitfall that leaders make is

1645
00:59:40,285 --> 00:59:41,845
that they feel they have to educate.

1646
00:59:42,425 --> 00:59:44,325
And the opposite of the educator is,

1647
00:59:44,345 --> 00:59:45,525
is kind of that explorer.

1648
00:59:45,625 --> 00:59:47,325
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. It's what could be.

1649
00:59:47,785 --> 00:59:49,005
And you don't have to have answers.

1650
00:59:49,305 --> 00:59:51,965
As leaders, we so often think
we have to have the answer.

1651
00:59:52,165 --> 00:59:53,605
I have to be the smartest
person, the root,

1652
00:59:53,665 --> 00:59:54,765
I'm the presiding authority.

1653
00:59:54,965 --> 00:59:56,805
I better as well know the answer to this

1654
00:59:57,395 --> 00:59:59,125
when the truth is that's not right.

1655
00:59:59,335 --> 01:00:01,925
Right? Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>
like, we can say, I don't know

1656
01:00:02,035 --> 01:00:03,325
what, what else could we do?

1657
01:00:03,345 --> 01:00:06,165
And empower those people
around us, especially

1658
01:00:06,185 --> 01:00:08,725
as volunteer ministers, right.

1659
01:00:09,305 --> 01:00:11,725
We are not paid
professionals in the church,

1660
01:00:12,225 --> 01:00:13,365
and we don't have to have answers.

1661
01:00:13,585 --> 01:00:15,685
We can just be authentic
and real to who we are

1662
01:00:15,865 --> 01:00:17,365
and who we're talking with. Yeah.

1663
01:00:17,725 --> 01:00:20,725
- I also just think like, uh,
even like is a Bishop Rick or

1664
01:00:21,265 --> 01:00:23,085
or council's preparing sacrament meeting

1665
01:00:23,145 --> 01:00:24,485
for the next few weeks, right.

1666
01:00:24,545 --> 01:00:27,485
Of being like, how can we,
what does the word need?

1667
01:00:27,585 --> 01:00:29,645
You know? Yeah. As, as
a, do they need more,

1668
01:00:29,725 --> 01:00:32,125
a more provocative, you
know, experience there?

1669
01:00:32,145 --> 01:00:34,325
Do they need more
educational, like do we need

1670
01:00:34,325 --> 01:00:35,925
to bring the stake patriarch in

1671
01:00:35,925 --> 01:00:37,605
to talk about patriarchal blessings?

1672
01:00:37,605 --> 01:00:39,925
Yeah. Or do we need to maybe have a,

1673
01:00:40,155 --> 01:00:41,965
some diverse views talked about?

1674
01:00:41,965 --> 01:00:45,245
Yeah. You know, to, so we're
sort of in a wrestle, or,

1675
01:00:45,665 --> 01:00:48,085
or we just need the, the confidant, right?

1676
01:00:48,185 --> 01:00:51,325
We just, I just want to like
put my arms around the ward

1677
01:00:51,325 --> 01:00:54,325
and sacrament means say
everything's gonna be okay.

1678
01:00:54,325 --> 01:00:56,285
Right? Yeah. Yeah. And, and
to really be intentional

1679
01:00:56,285 --> 01:00:57,725
about even meetings. Yeah. Because

1680
01:00:57,725 --> 01:00:58,725
- Those questions are helpful.

1681
01:00:58,895 --> 01:01:01,005
Right. And if you were
in that situation saying,

1682
01:01:01,025 --> 01:01:04,445
we need more diverse opinions,
then you, you may have to go

1683
01:01:04,445 --> 01:01:06,125
to your state president or whoever it is

1684
01:01:06,125 --> 01:01:08,765
and say, Hey, I wanna put
the Relief Society president

1685
01:01:08,765 --> 01:01:09,885
on the stand for this meeting.

1686
01:01:10,355 --> 01:01:12,685
What are the regulations
around that? Right.

1687
01:01:12,865 --> 01:01:15,685
And like, why not like
great explorer question,

1688
01:01:16,425 --> 01:01:18,405
how do we get more female presence

1689
01:01:18,405 --> 01:01:20,605
and voice heard when over 50%

1690
01:01:20,605 --> 01:01:23,085
of our demographic in our
church are, are women?

1691
01:01:23,745 --> 01:01:27,245
And asking those questions are
not a bad thing they've hit

1692
01:01:27,245 --> 01:01:29,765
in every single coaching
category. Awesome.

1693
01:01:30,225 --> 01:01:32,605
- If there's like, if people
wanna wade deeper into these

1694
01:01:32,605 --> 01:01:34,845
waters of this, of the
respect coaching styles,

1695
01:01:34,915 --> 01:01:37,805
what resources or where would
you point them to learn more?

1696
01:01:38,065 --> 01:01:42,605
- Uh, Dr. David Morelli, um,
is the creator of this, uh,

1697
01:01:42,665 --> 01:01:44,245
his company is called Owl Hub.

1698
01:01:44,385 --> 01:01:46,725
And so I'd recommend you
go take a look@owlhub.com

1699
01:01:46,725 --> 01:01:50,085
or you can connect with Matt
Ryan, LinkedIn, LinkedIn,

1700
01:01:50,495 --> 01:01:53,085

nerds that are out there.

1701
01:01:53,185 --> 01:01:54,365

- We'll link to your profile.

1703
01:01:55,825 --> 01:01:59,485
So Matt, as you been on
this journey of coaching

1704
01:01:59,745 --> 01:02:01,645
and learning especially about Christ

1705
01:02:01,665 --> 01:02:03,845
and this coaching, how has
this journey helped you become

1706
01:02:04,405 --> 01:02:06,445
a better follower of Jesus Christ? That's

1707
01:02:06,445 --> 01:02:07,445
- A great question.

1708
01:02:07,705 --> 01:02:10,925
And I think, you know, for
me it's after learning this

1709
01:02:10,925 --> 01:02:13,365
and then being able to go
through this savior's life

1710
01:02:13,425 --> 01:02:16,005
and study the questions that he asks,

1711
01:02:16,585 --> 01:02:20,605
and understanding that when
he asks a provocateur question

1712
01:02:21,035 --> 01:02:22,845
that he is doing it out of love

1713
01:02:23,665 --> 01:02:25,485
and he's doing it so we can

1714
01:02:26,035 --> 01:02:27,765
explore our own feelings about it.

1715
01:02:28,055 --> 01:02:31,165
Right? He doesn't ask a
question, you know, with the,

1716
01:02:31,485 --> 01:02:33,605
a simple answer, it's
almost always something

1717
01:02:33,605 --> 01:02:35,205
that you really have to go deep on.

1718
01:02:35,465 --> 01:02:37,925
And to me, it just makes me realize

1719
01:02:37,945 --> 01:02:41,005
how much the savior cared
about, cares about us and,

1720
01:02:41,345 --> 01:02:42,765
and how much he wanted us

1721
01:02:42,825 --> 01:02:45,205
to learn from the example that he showed.

1722
01:02:45,345 --> 01:02:48,365
And he's just super cool. Great coach.

1723
01:02:48,855 --> 01:02:50,885
- Jared, how about you? How's
this journey brought you

1724
01:02:50,885 --> 01:02:52,685
closer as a helped you become a better

1725
01:02:52,685 --> 01:02:53,725
follower of Jesus Christ?

1726
01:02:54,535 --> 01:02:56,205
- Jesus was perfect.

1727
01:02:56,865 --> 01:02:58,725
And Jesus, when we look at leadership

1728
01:02:58,865 --> 01:03:00,365
and how we can become better leaders

1729
01:03:00,625 --> 01:03:04,365
and individuals right in
our own path, we look to him

1730
01:03:04,825 --> 01:03:09,365
and he used these styles
and he did 'em flawlessly,

1731
01:03:10,105 --> 01:03:11,605
and he did 'em for the one.

1732
01:03:11,945 --> 01:03:13,165
And so I feel like the way

1733
01:03:13,165 --> 01:03:16,645
that we can be better is
reaching out to the one is

1734
01:03:16,645 --> 01:03:19,925
by coaching them for what
they need, just like he would.

1735
01:03:20,265 --> 01:03:22,325
And that will make us not perfect,

1736
01:03:22,625 --> 01:03:25,645
but it'll make us really good
leaders that people will want

1737
01:03:25,645 --> 01:03:27,245
to not only follow, but be around.

1738
01:03:27,545 --> 01:03:29,485
And it's because when they're around us,

1739
01:03:29,505 --> 01:03:31,405
we will lead them back to the Savior

1740
01:03:31,825 --> 01:03:33,125
as we do what he would do.

1741
01:03:40,625 --> 01:03:42,485
- Hey, you made it to
the end of the episode.

1742
01:03:42,865 --> 01:03:45,405
Wasn't that so good? You
know, I tend to pinch myself

1743
01:03:45,405 --> 01:03:46,525
that this is what I get to do.

1744
01:03:46,565 --> 01:03:49,845
I get to sit down with some
remarkable people across the

1745
01:03:49,845 --> 01:03:53,725
world, experts, everyday
leaders, PhDs, therapists,

1746
01:03:53,925 --> 01:03:56,965
whatever it be, and have such
an impactful conversation.

1747
01:03:57,045 --> 01:03:59,845
I hope you'll share it, drop
it into text, message an email,

1748
01:04:00,105 --> 01:04:02,085
and share it to someone
who maybe came to mind

1749
01:04:02,265 --> 01:04:03,365
during this episode.

1750
01:04:03,665 --> 01:04:04,845
And if you go to the show notes

1751
01:04:04,845 --> 01:04:06,845
and scroll to the bottom,
there's actually a list of some

1752
01:04:06,845 --> 01:04:08,845
of our most popular episodes.

1753
01:04:08,845 --> 01:04:10,285
So don't stop with this episode.

1754
01:04:10,565 --> 01:04:11,685
I mean, you're not done with the dishes

1755
01:04:11,705 --> 01:04:13,365
or mowing the lawn or working out.

1756
01:04:13,385 --> 01:04:15,365
So you might as well keep it going at

1757
01:04:15,365 --> 01:04:16,405
the bottom of those show notes.

1758
01:04:16,665 --> 01:04:18,765
And, uh, make sure you,
you listen to each one,

1759
01:04:18,765 --> 01:04:20,525
maybe a couple times on a few of 'em.

1760
01:04:21,245 --> 01:04:23,445
Remember, go to leading
saints.org/fourteen

1761
01:04:23,505 --> 01:04:25,165
to access the remarkable presentation

1762
01:04:25,165 --> 01:04:28,285
by Anthony Sweat about
ambiguity and doctrine.

1763
01:04:37,865 --> 01:04:41,125
- It came as a result of
the position of leadership,

1764
01:04:41,135 --> 01:04:44,685
which was imposed upon
us by the God of heaven,

1765
01:04:44,785 --> 01:04:48,405
who brought forth a
restoration of the gospel

1766
01:04:48,625 --> 01:04:49,925
of Jesus Christ.

1767
01:04:50,625 --> 01:04:54,205
And when the declaration was
made concerning, the only,

1768
01:04:54,675 --> 01:04:57,965
only true and living church
upon the face of the earth,

1769
01:04:58,745 --> 01:05:02,005
we were immediately put in
a position of loneliness.

1770
01:05:02,185 --> 01:05:05,885
The loneliness of leadership
from which we cannot

1771
01:05:06,065 --> 01:05:07,485
shrink nor run away.

1772
01:05:08,425 --> 01:05:12,285
And to which we must face
up with boldness and courage

1773
01:05:12,985 --> 01:05:13,605
and ability.
