Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My feed is full of people swearing this fixed everything that was wrong with them and made them practically invincible, and I honestly can’t tell what’s real and what’s wishful
• When I coach people, almost everything out of my mouth is about their body
• When I replay my coaching conversations I’m talking way more than the other person
• The people I’m training just go through the reps I dictate, checked-out and joyless, and I dictate every detail because I assume that’s my job
• I’ve got this clean little “here’s what it taught me” story that I tell so smoothly now, and lately it nags at me

10. Mental Rehearsal and Imagery, Made Practical
