STANDOUT QUOTES

  • \u201cHere\u2019s the challenge that a lot of leaders and coaches face is that often inadvertently our communication styles shut people down. Because we\u2019re wired a certain way, so we don\u2019t process information the same way that our people or our players or our student athletes might, and so we shut them down.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [04:12]
  • \u201cHow can we as leaders and coaches actually adjust our communication style in ways that we know are meaningful to the men and women that we lead or that we serve as their coach, as their teacher, as their parent in ways again that can elicit that greatness inside of them?\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [12:23]
  • \u201cIf we are aware of the fact that we are words of affirmation, it can help us not take things so personally sometimes.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [16:03]
