LindseyThese kids Gen Z Gen Alpha they know no other than the smartphone and then the way they've been raised Okay, so the five different ways that people play games if you can layer that into your coaching You are gonna have the buy-in you're gonna have them eating out of your your palms Hi guys and welcome back to the my Tech Coach Academy podcast. You guys this one is a really good one I'm probably say that about most of our guests, but This is a guest that I was literally scribbling down tips for coaching for parenting She just had so many actionable things that I know that you're gonna love One of them was really getting buy-in and I'm gonna use this for my kids Values that lead to behaviors and really have that conversation my kids are young So we'll see how it goes, but I'm really excited to implement these she had five reasons people play games Which I think from a coaching standpoint the psychology of that is just fascinating So I know it's a conversation that you're really really gonna find not only entertaining and interesting But super valuable like there's very actionable things. You know, I love my actionable things There's actionable things that you can take and you can implement in your life today as a coach as a parent as a leader All right guys coach M Hi everybody and welcome back to the mindset coach Academy podcast today. I have a very special treat We have coach M. Emma Doyle in the house.
She is originally from Melbourne, Australia But now she's in Colorado. We're gonna have a really fun conversation. I just listened to her Ted talk that I highly recommend She's also a speaker and a high-performance tennis player turned corporate coach And I know she really does some fun things with corporate Speaking and workshops and all the things which I love talking about but also we're gonna be talking about Women in sports, which I'm really really excited about.
I know that was the topic of her Ted X talk So we're gonna get right into it. Hi coach M G'day. Thank you so much for having me Lindsey Wilson love that surname love the Wilson surname Yes, we just did a really fun thing where I was just on Emma's podcast and now she's on ours So this worked out nice.
We get to spend the whole morning together. Yeah, we would say switcheroo That's a good one. All right, um, so first of all, let's get into again, I was just watching your Ted X talk and I highly recommend we'll put that in the show notes. I just love the topic but tell me sort of the impetus for that and Sort of the you know, how would you describe that Ted X and you know, 30 seconds I would describe it as a Talk which really helps to empower the inner voice of those who listen to it through Two keywords and that is next time so future-based language The power of next time allows you to focus on the future Return to the present execute and deliver. So that's one of the key messages and the reason I know you asked only 30 seconds but the reason why I did it in the first place is was I was so appalled by the number of teenage girls dropping out of sport at a rate of Three to one compared to boys in Australia in tennis at the time That then I started running girl power camps all over the world as well So that was that was really one of the passion reasons behind the talk Yeah, I mean absolutely. I mean obviously I've been very involved in women's sports all these years But certainly with four young daughters. I just think that message is really really important Tell me why people that don't have daughters should care They should care because The way that we talk to our Teenagers and the way we talk to kids in general will become their inner voice So if you want to empower people you want to help this next generation Step into their greatness the way that you speak to them Matters the way that you interact with them and I know even on our our podcast and in the work that I do today We have five generations sitting side by side in the workplace today So if if somebody from a baby boomer can't relate or it even have a conversation and find Common ground from which to work from It's it's it's not going to serve them well yet. I love diversity as well And I love the fact that the latest research is when you have at least a 30-year age difference You're 75% more productive in the workplace as well, which I think is such a cool stat So I think that we all need to care We all need to you know You and I both believe in continuous growth and continuous improvement in the day that we think that we've got this coaching game Sorted or the day that we think that you know, I know how to raise girls or raise boys Is the day that we're dead in the water? So when you're going into work with you do a lot of corporate speaking but like me you you have this sports sort of Lens if you will and we have a lot of coaches that listen to our podcast Many of them do have day jobs when you're going in and working with a Team or an organization or your corporate speaking Like what are some of the things that you want people to get out of those those workshops?
And what are some things you leave them with like some actual things? Yeah, so one of my favorite workshops is leader as coach and I passionately believe That leadership today whether you are a coach or whether you're a manager or whether you're the CEO of the business If you can take a coaching lens cap To bring out the best in your people that that is the only way for your company to survive in in today's world And and what I mean by that let's let's go back to coaching for a minute The actual definition of coaching is being able to unlock Somebody's performance to maximize their own potential So don't forget I was a I was a technical junkie as a tennis coach, right? I could talk about angles of separation all day and then when I went and learned how to be a business coach I learned how to be curious.
I learned how to ask open-ended questions I learned how to listen more effectively So this is the way of the future. This is the way that modern leadership has to evolve Because it's no longer people don't People are redefining how they even work right how they show up and same with athletes So one of the things that I love to do is learn through play. I think we've lost our ability to play So how do we teach a concept like empathy? Which is one of the top 10 practices from my book what makes a great coach? Empathy I've interviewed over 500 of the world's leading coaches asked in one to a maximum of three words What makes a great coach an empathy featured in the top 10, right?
So how do we teach such an important concept like that because it can be learned empathy can be learned some people have it more naturally Sure, but one of the ways to do that is we do a water balloon relay So we're absorbing the other person's map of the world because of course everybody has a different map of the world So how do I understand not only different generations? But different behavioral styles different ways that people learn to to form a blueprint for me to better be able to Adapt my communication because I think that's one of the most interesting things Lindsey about my backstory Is that again? I talk about that chapter one of my life Where I would take high performance teams away I've represented my country 20 times as a national coach and I would bring out the best in half the girls But not the other half and I was like why can I relate to these players and me and not those plays them?
And how come I don't understand I don't have the tools to speak to the parents efficiently and confidently Yeah, it was because I do I didn't realize until I studied business coaching that I had to adapt and Change who I was my language my tone my the way that I would Relay the information to bring out the best in those players So if you weren't kinesetic or extrovert then I didn't bring out the best in you and then once I learned that and Still kept my authentic energy and my passion for coaching and my joy and my love for sport and empowering people It wasn't until I had that aha penny dropping moment within myself that I really stepped into the start of my coaching Journey hmm. I love that. Okay. I'm gonna be a little bit I agree with everything you're saying but I also want to be a little bit at devil's advocate because I know that some of the coaches listening are thinking how do I how do I Keep the standards of my team and how do I still have high expectations And do all that or is it me constantly changing because of the new generation? You know what I mean like for example, I was talking to a coach last week and someone broke a team rule And you know like those sorts of things of like how do I Talk to them in a way that they're gonna listen And have you know repercussions or consequences Yeah, and help them understand the why this is important Like what would you say to a coach that here's everything you're saying and like saying yeah, but how do I not change my standards?
thank you for asking this question such an important question and I'm very much uh was brought up with very strict boundaries and And certainly it was do as I say okay back in the day when I was being brought up So one of the ways to do this Which I love love love talking about this topic Is setting the standards has to be done at the start of the season and every season you have a new opportunity to set the standards now most people I see a lot of coaches they set the standards right what I advocate for and I'll give you this in a classic story is um the 2018 Federation cup team that I took away. Okay, we did a values audit Now I had a vote but so did the team manager and so did all of the athletes We put all the values cards on the table Anyway, and we had we had a proper voting system and everyone had to be silent So my voice was equal to everybody else in the room. Okay, and we were it came out We were the incredible raging elephants which stood for improvement respect and enjoyment Now what I then did as the facilitator of that of that meeting Was then say all right if we value enjoyment What are the behaviors that are attached to those values and I asked strategic questions for example How do we feel about our mobile phones when we're having dinner? Are we going to leave them on the table or we're going to leave so I have I was able to Not manipulate the behaviors, but ask strategic questions for them to be able to come up with behaviors that then I rather than me saying hey, you know, you you didn't execute on that behavior I could simply say hey remember our value of enjoyment. How do you think you went with your mobile phone today?
And bringing it out onto the practice court and checking it while we were training, you know, what do you? Yeah, that's not good enough. Yeah, we said that that was we're not going to do that. Okay, so what do you want to do about it? so There's a way to do it Where but the values drive the behaviors which drive the results and that's such a cool story with that team because I had three completely different personalities and we ended up You know one of under respect for example We had to ask the Malaysian uber drivers one question about their culture each each each morning Okay, so there was all these little subtleties and you would love this we visualized on the top floor of the hotel Every single morning before we we did that and we ended up winning Asia Oceana and we went to the worlds and finished fifth in in Budapest so The the way to do it is these days is get the buy-in you got to get the buy-in so you can't just One of my favorite formulas, Lindsey.
I think you'll let you'll enjoy this one conflict equals expectation divided by reality so if From the get-go The expectations or shall I say the values or shall I say the behaviors if that's not clear then And then reality kicks in that it's going to be very difficult for the coach to say well I'm going to now discipline you on that when the values the expectations and the behaviors weren't set in the first place And if you're a coach listening to this right now and you haven't done that guess what just start like Run a runner values run a culture session immediately and live by those values. I do it now. I'm I still compete in golf though these days, you know, and so our golf team we I play pennant golf and you know, we are Our tagline is every turtle matters which again stands for enthusiasm Teamwork and mental toughness. They're our three core values So when we're still playing instead of putting your clubs back in your car If somebody's still out on the course the behavior expectation is that you go out and you support that person Even if you have to take your clubs with you, right and everybody does it and I've seen shifts and we've got age brackets or all the whole gamut in that team and One 23 year old girl who hadn't hardly said boo.
She said hey coach every turtle matters, you know, hashtag every Like you can you can create a momentum around Not and not letting go of your own as a coach your own boundaries because I'm extremely tough on On my players on my leaders on the people who I coach today I bring the sports mentality Into it. I'm firm. I'm firm but fair but fun You know the triple F's And that is what I live by and so I so I Advocate for adapting your communication style to bring out the best in your place But I don't advocate for just letting people walk all over your You know letting them do whatever they want to do. You have to put your boundaries in place Yeah, oh my god, I love this so much. I think coaches that listen to this are Gonna just want to take this and run with it So let me just ask you a couple like detail questions because honestly coach M I'm thinking of like doing this with my daughters because I think they're a little young to get all the concepts But I was just thinking the other day like I'm really frustrated with bedtime Like I feel like it's me asking them 20 times to brush their teeth And then I have to go like breathe on the front porch because I'm so pissed off, right? And so I'm like pushing pushing pushing and I'm like I haven't gotten buy-in Like I know that I haven't right. I have uncertain times in certain areas And so I'm like kind of backtracking and I'm thinking okay.
How do I get them in in other words? I'm gonna need to get them invested in the process, right? Give them some agency Let them make some of the decisions, right?
And so I love this But let's take a team or me doing it with my daughters, which again might be a little bit different because they're younger But like so what do you do? You actually like put a bunch of values out on the table and people get to vote Correct. Okay. So it's it's a process of Perhaps even we could add it in the show notes a link to the exact actual steps of it. I've got it for you Yeah, uh, but just very briefly awesome The most important thing in the process once you you have the cards and you do it in a fun way You know, I've done it with pizzas and you know, you make it a fun. Yeah, but when you vote you do it in a code of silence Oh And you vote three two one So everybody has a weighted three two one voting system And it's important that you as the coach you vote last So your vote counts But if you you're voting first Then people know oh the coach the coach thinks this is really important Right, you want to vote last. Yeah, so that and the reason we do it in silence is because there's always some Jock who goes oh, I knew you'd give three votes to You know fairness or something there's always like a judgment like yeah, something always comes up people can hardly stop themselves It's it happens even subconsciously So that is a really important process Then once you as the facilitator get the votes once you Calculate the votes you'll have three values words then the super fun part which now is not done in a code of silence You come up with a crazy quote We see in Australia we support the number plate game So the crazy quote is how people remember the values.
I mean I've done this with leadership teams I still remember it one of my first teams. It's a travel agency. They were rhesi's peanut butter Which stood for and I remember this still today.
Um respect um balance life um rhesi's peanut personal growth Right, they're the three values from a that's a leadership team that I did over 10 years ago So the crazy quote is what how people remember it and then that team of course I had always had rhesi's peanut butter chocolate cups all over the right So you've got reminders of the values. You should see our our got back to our golf team We've got turtle ball markers. We've got you know, so this woman went and crocheted turtles with everybody's different colored affirmation I know you're laughing. It's it sounds silly, right?
It's so cute. It's cute It really does work and the other thing that I wanted to say around even your your kids or even other coaches out there Gamification, I mean, I'm a huge fan of it I I run at the moment for the national tooling and machining association The emerging leaders program. It's a nine month module program, right? And every month even though none of them are tennis players they score 15 points 30 points 40 points, right? And it's a competitive that on nine modules. My expectation ready is for them to win a minimum of six games Okay, so layering in gamification and understanding the five reasons why people play games Coaches need to tap into this because you mentioned it on my podcast These kids gen z gen alpha. They know no other than the smartphone and then the way they've been raised Okay, so the five different ways that people play games if you can layer that into your coaching You are going to have the buy-in you are going to have them eating out of your your palms So do you want to know what the five are or shall I just leave that out?
I was gonna say I feel like I've heard him before but couldn't recite it all I'm sure you probably haven't and I'll probably forget one but anyway, I'll have a go. That's okay. All right, so PvP is player versus player which is competitive. So for example on my national emerging leaders program I had a bunch of emerging very competitive people. So I just went with that simple one there PvP another one is puzzle solvers or in in tennis for example problem solving in basketball problem solving so Solving a puzzle or a problem is a motivating tool to play games And you can layer this into your toothbrushing if if there's a way there as well or the third one Narrative you turn it into a story Okay, maybe it's a journey the toothbrush is going on a journey Okay, and it's got to get to the end of the quest and maybe you know to do that It goes through a story. So narrative fourth one is Collectors. So this is huge for coaches collectors Collecting things collecting levels moving just moving up constantly moving up in in levels that that one is huge and the fifth one is social. I got it.
Right. That they basically do it because their siblings are doing it. They're brushing their teeth. I don't want to be left out because the other three are doing it at the same time. So, you know, and people and of course, sport that is very evident, you know, people play sport because their friends play sport and they want to be part of that social pack.
It's the fourth human need is belonging. So I think it's some, but I think the more coaches need to be aware of these subtleties. It's not just how do we learn? It's how do we tap into these kids of today, their motivation that they are that they are that's literally research based on why people play games online games.
So if you can take offline, which is of course into the physical world, you watch how that what you watch the buy in for yourself, check it out, give it a go. Oh, God, I see it as a I'm going to use all these for teeth brushing. I do this for different aspects of my parenting. And as you're saying this, it this is one of the things that I love about coaching is like the things that I think are the most relevant either as a coach or getting coach are the things that you've already done before and it coaches like, Oh, or as a student, you're like, Oh, yeah, I've done that before, right?
And it makes total sense. I didn't either know I was doing it, or I wasn't paying attention. And so I've done this with my kids. I can't think of a great example, but I see it in their face when we make something more fun. And it's like, everything shifts. It's like their brain is working in a different way.
And the way that I would describe it is there's no resistance. There's not a dynamic where it's me telling them something, it's we're doing it together. And way more fun as a parent, that's for sure.
But of course, it's way more fun for them. So I'm going to take this, and I'm going to start thinking more. So I really appreciate this. And can I again, I've experienced it.
So I know that it works. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, let me jump in with one comment that just came to mine that I have to share.
It's the difference between pushing your map of the world onto somebody and versus falling out that which lives within them. Now, I'm an auntie to seven beautiful humans. Okay, so I am not a parent. But all my kids over the years that I've coached, felt like, you know, I care about them a lot.
I follow their life, etc. But practice one in my book, and I don't call them chapters, by the way, they're practices, because you don't say, Oh, listening, yeah, I do that tick the box, right? Listening is a, there's a daily practice. But chat, practice one in my book is decision making. And far too often, I think one of the biggest areas for development in coaching is moving from a direct and tell, this is how you do it into creating an in learning environment that enhances decision making, so that the child or the player or the athlete can then perform with pressure, perform with pressure, not under pressure.
It's a subtle thing. But if they don't have decision making skills, especially, you know, in the heat of the moment for basketball, if that's not trained, rather than you've got to run this play telling, telling, pushing, coaching on to people, if you can pull out that which lives within, that's the secret source that I think will help coaches be less burnt out, because they're so sick of just like, Oh, no one's listening to me. This is the way of the future. This is, this is, this is coaching to the next generation. This is the next level of coaching. And, and every time I see a coach, I'll just listen to the coach, and it's still too much verbal diarrhea. And I mean that with love and kindness in my heart. It's not me having a go at coaches.
It's me saying they just don't have the tools that don't have enough tools in their toolkit to be able to, to know how to ask questions. So even for tennis, for example, you know, back in the day when I used to coach coaches, Red Bull, which is beginners, I would just give two decisions, you know, five to eight year olds, just two decisions. Do you know, do you want to hit it cross court or down the line? Orange ball three decisions. Do you want to rally, attack or defend orange ball is sort of that age group of nine to 11.
And then green ball, open decisions. Right now, I'm curious, what do you think you need to do better in that point next time? There's my 10x language coming into it again, rather than why did you lose that point or what'd you do wrong? Because they'll, the kids know, they'll give you a list of all the reasons why things went poorly. Whereas if you can train them to strengthen that inner voice of what do I need to do differently next time, you watch how they'll problem solve when they're on their own, when that when they're in the heat of a battle and you as the coach aren't there or as a parent, being able to to impart what you think they need. Did that make sense?
I love every single thing you're saying. And I do want to touch on the coaches burnout because I feel like, you know, we're coming at it from kind of two different angles. I'm coming up like very much the mental performance, you're coming from like the culture and leadership and sort of coaching philosophy and values and that sort of thing. And I mean, both are so massively important. And I but I do think that the one thing that we both sounds like you're talking about, and I definitely talk about is, I think coaches have a resistance to change because change is hard in the beginning.
Right. It is hard to learn a new way. It is hard to learn these new skill sets.
There's a lot of upfront costs. But in my opinion, a lot of the way that people are doing it now is causing a lot of burnout. It's massively hard to constantly and in my case, I feel like a lot of coaches are almost like the emotional regulators and they bear the emotional and mental weight of their team. But it's very similar to what you're talking about in the trying to get people to do things.
And I'm wondering what your experience is with that burnout. And then, you know, on the other side is this new way of doing things. Am I understanding that right? Yeah, definitely. I think one of the key distinctions that I'm hearing more and more is resilience fatigue.
Right. It's like the coach takes all the weight of the results on their shoulders and they're having to get back up and they're having to get back up and rock up a training. And maybe everybody else who's, you know, the results aren't there. So there's not that motivation to want to rock up at the training, give 100%.
And so the coaches is becoming resilient fatigue. It's a real thing. It's happening in the workplace. It's happening in the lives of coaches. And it comes back to, I know what you passionately believe in is tools, toolkits, right? Helping coaches with tools.
And one of the tools that coaches need is to compartmentalize. Right. You need to be able to switch off. You need to be able to, again, we spoke about boundaries earlier, put your own boundaries in place in terms of when you're responding to your athletes, you know, past nine o'clock at night.
No, it's, it's, you're not going to respond or whatever it might be. But I do believe that there's not enough tools, self-regulation tools to help coaches be able to understand and see the signs before they're getting hitting rock bottom or before they're like, I don't ever want to coach again in my life. Because let's be honest, coaching, it's a passion. It's a joy. It is tough. It's hard work. I've been a coach since I was 14 years of age.
It was better return than work at McDonald's. Right. So, I mean, like, like, I know no other.
But if I continue down the path that I was going down with regards to the type of coach that I was, probably I would have already had an operation on my voice. Okay. That's being honest. Okay. Because I just, I just, I spoke way too much and the parents thought I was great. Oh, I didn't, you know, I want to be coached by her, but I feel like giving a refund to half the people I coached in those early days because it wasn't a value.
It wasn't a substance. And one of my greatest mentors, he talks about the power of the pause and allowing space for the learning to, to take place. And I see it in the workplace as well. You know, why managers are getting burnt out? Because they're solving everybody's problems. They're doing the work for them. You know, I've recently come across this really cool company who are not doing that and their leaders are thriving. And now they want, you know, now they're hiring me to make their leaders even better.
Like, how cool is that? I'm already walking into a culture where that's not happening because they're empowered to empower their people to make decisions. And that's, I think, modern coaching is the coach's ability to empower their athletes to make better choices sometimes when they're faced with everything that we did as teenagers. You know, nothing's changed.
You're still faced with, do I have this beer or do I not before, before training? You know, I, I went to Middle Tennessee State University. It was the biggest culture shock of my life and had to make some interesting choices back then. Yeah. Sorry.
Did that even keep the question? I love everything you're talking about. Absolutely. I actually heard that term, the resilience fatigue, but I'm going to look up what's going on with that. So tell me just what is, so again, we have a lot of coaches listening and a lot of mental performance coaches as well.
A lot of people that are in the sports world. What is one tool or like simple thing that you teach that someone could take away? I am a massive fan of anchoring. So anchoring and, you know, just something's a simple tool.
Okay. It's one of my little coaching toolkits here. But to be able to be in the moment, be present, whether it be just touching your ear or, you know, I've got this, this, um, my bracelet here says ease, okay, on it, right? So just touching it, whatever I need in the moment, where is it, my thumb, my index finger, my middle finger. But if you have a moment where you've coached well, if you can anchor that into something physical, such as a bracelet and earring, if you always wear a cap, something very specific, if you can anchor those feelings of when you're at your best, then you can prepare for training, you can prepare for a match within less than eight seconds, despite the fact you've just had an argument with your daughter, or you've, you know, something's happened at home where your dog's just vomited all over the carpet and you're about to walk out the door and coach and it's really inconvenient.
Right. You're firing yourself off and yet you're anchoring your best version of who you can be for those people in that moment. And I'm a huge believer of then connecting that with an affirmation that keeps you present, not an affirmation that says I'm the world's greatest coach, you know, because every training session is an opportunity where sometimes I go, gee, that was terrible, right?
Because we're masters of self reflection where you just go, oh my God, that, you know, that person didn't respond to what I had to say. So anchoring myself to be the best version of, of who I can be for that person in that moment to create a learning environment that is sticky, sticky learning, sticky opportunities. And anchoring and being present, I am ready. I belong here. I'm in the moment. I'm, I'm open to my senses. I am looking for what's beyond the spoken word. You know, I'm asking curious questions.
I'm curious to hear and see and feel what's going on for somebody beyond what they're telling me. I mean, that's, that's masterful coaching right there. And it's one thing AI can't teach.
I mean, maybe one day it will be able to, but hopefully I'm longer on. I mean, curiosity is a superpower of every single coach. And it's also one of the practices within my book. It's so, so important. And some of the other practical tools around that in helping coaches ask better questions, stop asking why questions when something's gone wrong.
There's a practical tool right there, because they'll blame, deny, justify, make excuses and they'll quit on you. Instead, what other choices could you have done better next time? Talk me through the options. If you're in that same position again, what else could you have done differently? Okay, I could have passed the ball off instead of being a ball hog. Oh, that's your sport. I got confused with the sports then.
Anyway, there are two practical tools around, I think we need to help coaches ask better questions. So tell me is a great thing. What specifically is a great thing and stop asking why questions when something's gone wrong.
The truth about why questions is they're fantastic when something's gone well. The term, Emma, this is all just amazing. I feel like I need to listen back to this myself. I'm gonna be like emptying my dishwasher listening to me interview you, because I'm scribbling notes.
I don't know if I'm getting it all. But I've noticed for myself with my kids back to parenting, I say, tell me more, probably more than any other phrase. Like they'll just say one little thing about school or soccer or whatever. And I just say, tell me more. And it's amazing what comes out with that. I have another great one for you. And what else? I call it the or AWE.
And what else? So a lot of parents say, how was your day? And the kid goes, good. There's a very funny Australian folk singer, you know, where it's a video about closed questions.
Maybe we'll throw that in the show notes as well. I'll send you that video. It's hilarious. But basically, tell me about your day. Tell me which of your professors knocked it out of the park today. Tell me something you learned today that you didn't know yesterday is exactly. And then you say, and what else? And what else? I love that.
Yeah. Because sometimes even when something's gone well, this happens a lot in the workplace. Somebody will achieve something great or the company's just been given this amazing award.
And then you say, congratulations. Tell me about that. Like, what did you learn from that experience? And what else did you learn?
And how did it come about? And so many times we sometimes brush over the things that have gone well. You know, as coaches, we're so focused on what's gone wrong or what play we didn't execute or how we need to do a better job. And sometimes it's really a great idea to explore the other way as well, which is, you know, that taps into the strengths based coaching approach.
And I, yeah, I'm a big fan of that. We call that in coaching the ears model, the ears model. So, at least the great things that the A stands for audit, all the, you know, and what else are is reflect on what went well, sorry, reflect on the learning.
And then the S is start over, then you move into coaching. So it's a great little tool that you and I always say we have two ears and one mouth for a reason, Lindsey. Yes, we do. I love this. Okay, the ears model. Oh, my goodness.
I, there, I'm like at this whole page of just scribbled notes. And I just really appreciate, I really liked the values and the buy-in. I was just talking about that in a previous podcast about that co-creation. I think that is really crucial. And I think that that is something that, from an actionable standpoint, really any coach can do, like you said, it doesn't have to be perfect. You said you'll give us some of the, for the show notes, a breakdown of that. But I think that that's a really valuable, you know, little workshop for people to do. And like you said, it could be fun.
It doesn't have to be something big and serious. And I love how you, you have it turned into a crazy code. I think that's really genius because it's just so much easier to remember. I really like the five reasons people play games. And I love talking about this resilience fatigue and coaches burnout.
I think that's a really, I think after COVID kind of, I think it blew up how much was on coaches, you know, I mean, parents, teachers, coaches, I think coaches really take on a lot and they don't necessarily have the skills to manage all of it. And I think the work that you're doing is really giving them those skills. So I appreciate you taking the time.
I just, again, I loved every little piece of this, and I love meeting you and all the things. So shout out to Sayler for making that happen. And who was on your side? I forgot her name. Yep, Sarah. Yeah, I love that.
We had some good help, all the women coming together to put this out to the world. So yeah, anyway, Coach M, how could people learn more about you? So yeah, literally coachm.cc. So that's my website.
And it'll take you through to the main things that I do. But I absolutely love creating coaching cultures in the workplace. That's what I'm passionate about working with leaders, working with managers, helping them go from a direct and tell culture into a curious coaching ask, asking great questions culture.
And it's possible and it is the way that we can have these five generations sit side by side in the workplace. I love what I do. And yeah, thank you so much for everything that you do, Lindsey. I've been enjoying listening and learning more about your background in your world. And thank you so much for having me on your show.
Yeah, I love it. So those of you who are listening, get Coach M to come into your workplace. I know she'll make a huge difference. So I'm so happy to connect with you. And I hope this is the first of many times that we can sort of I can learn from you. So thanks, Coach M. And we'll talk to you soon. Thanks, everyone.
