I wanted to explore the defensiveness trap as it’s I’ve been working on recently. When I get defensive, it’s often a sudden heat, a need to justify, or a rush to prove I’m right. When I can catch that, I pause, take a breath, and get curious. What’s really behind this reaction? Where is this coming from? My strategies now are to ground myself, lean on a trusted connection, and return to self-awareness. Growth really starts with noticing these moments. So how do you know when you are reacting from that place & what are you management strategies?

It's been a couple weeks since deploying Skool. What are you finding? Using? Enjoying? Not enjoying? And more importantly- what do you want to see? What are you struggling with? Already got a fun piece of feedback from Lachie M- "I've been playing with my coffee machine at home and pulling better shots of coffee thanks to the coffee classroom". Sometimes the wins aren't always what we expect 😅

For a while now, the Small Goods coaches have wanted to find a way to share more in depth conversations about their philosophies as coaches, life lessons & experiences, and in general, help you get to know them a bit better. In Small Good’s first ever podcast episode, Joel & Holly dive into the interconnected worlds of learning, coaching, and personal growth. From Holly finishing her physiotherapy degree and competing in the Night of Champions to Joel’s evolution as a strength coach, they explore the psychology behind starting something new, overcoming the fear of failure, and the transition from being a student to a teacher.

Getting Dharmesh back to the gym in return I have to wake up at 4am (not so much a win)

Hi team, I'm doing some reading, listening and research on how we cope, process and learn when we make mistakes - this is really from a medical/clinical place to provide support and education to mine site medics, but I wanted to open it up and ask others about this from different perspectives - what do you do when you make a mistake? How do you recover and what is your process and your next steps?
