Some of the highlights include;

• 2.20: Worst coaching moment: Evidence, relevance, and the consequence of 'inaction'. How can you find a way to get into that individual?

  • Chuck's definition: Stoicism is learning how to walk the continuum between being passionate and dispassionate and knowing the difference. Accept the situation, clear the mind, be objective, remove our biases, and take action in order to be in service to the solution.
• 41.45: What's the rule of three? (Remember this is all of your presentations)
