In this week’s episode of Ongoing Mastery: Presenting & Speaking, Kirsten talks with Anastasiya Rutus about her work as a rest coach and offers her some advice for staying focused while working with clients. Find out why our brains are like a browser with too many tabs open and why our best ideas happen in the shower.

Our favorite moments::

• We get guilted and shamed into not thinking about rest
• The experience of being coached is one of going on an emotional journey
• People need to stop and process when learning new concepts
• Everyone wants to be heard
• We are not trees; we can move
• Depending on their experience, some people need additional context to understand why they should take in new information
• Why good ideas come in the shower
• Our brains are like browsers with too many open tabs
• Only our children will remember how busy we were
• The less you know about your audience, the less material you can cover
