Episode Notes

What’s more dangerous than not knowing enough? Thinking you already know it all. Sometimes the experience that makes you confident as a presenter can also be the very thing keeping you from getting better.

In this quick Whisper Shot, Rob shares a lesson he learned from a basketball coaching workshop, and from legendary coach Don Nelson, that changed the way he coached both basketball and business. Because sometimes the most valuable lessons arrive when we’re least interested in learning them.

In this Whisper Shot, you’ll learn:

• Why experience can sometimes become an obstacle to continued growth.
• The surprising lesson Rob learned from former Washington Bullets player Kevin Grevey about what great coaches focus on.
• Why telling people to “win” may be less effective than teaching them to focus on what they can actually control.
• What John Wooden meant when he said, “It’s what you learn after you know it all, that counts.”
