In this personal TEDx talk, Colby B. Jubenville, PhD shares why we are in a “Coaching Revolution” that insists you either are a coach, you have a coach, or you don’t want to be coached. Great coaches make us have conversations we don’t want to have, do things we don’t want to do, to become something we didn’t think we could become. Great coaches communicate in short, powerful, emotionally compelling ways. They use phrases like, “be the hammer, not the nail,” or “be the best at what matters most” – and that stays with you for the rest of your life. Great coaches help you “go first” to “what you want to become,” and because of the unique relationship formed, your life (and theirs) is better.

So, let’s pause for a moment, reflect on your journey, and remember the force of a coaching relationship. It’s a place where connections run deeper and where ripples of change turn into waves of impact.

This interactive session can be delivered in either keynote or workshop format.

Your career is your journey, and whether you’re just starting or have been at it for years, there’s always a way to level up. The Talent Development Framework (TDF) is designed to help you discover, develop, and deliver the unique value you bring to the marketplace. In this session, we’re going to cut through the noise and get real about what it takes to move the needle in your life, business and relationships.

Here’s what the TDF will do for you:

• Narrative-Based Coaching: In order to change your story, you first have to know it. Let’s start there.
• Emotional Intelligence: Self-awareness is the gateway to understanding others and leading with empathy.
• Growth Mindset: The key to success is learning how to do hard things. The grit to keep pushing forward is what sets you apart.
• Pattern Matching and Stacking: The patterns in your life and career show you where you create value. Recognize them and build on them.
• Market-Specific Knowledge: You need to know your industry like the back of your hand. That’s how you stay competitive.
• Personal Branding: Your brand is your promise to the world. Make sure it reflects who you are and the value you bring.
• Personal Relationships: Relationships are the foundation of success. Build meaningful connections that make an impact.

This session isn’t about theory—it’s about action. If you want to grow, you have to know. Whether you’re moving into a new role, looking for a breakthrough, or simply trying to level up, the Talent Development Framework will give you the tools you need to get paid for the value you deliver. Let’s make it happen.

In this dynamic session we explore the path to becoming a trusted advisor starting with the lessons found in the iconic film Jerry Maguire. While many remember the famous “Show me the money!” line, the true value of the film lies in its insights on personal relationships, leadership, and self-discovery. Colby takes the audience on Jerry’s journey, from a stressed sports agent to a leader who reconnects with his core values through his mission statement, The Things We Think and Do Not Say: The Future of Our Business. This pivotal moment serves as a blueprint for creating a personal brand, building trust, and developing deeper, more meaningful relationships in business.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Establish yourself as a trusted advisor by learning how to build meaningful relationships.
• Learn how to use the Trusted Advisor Questions as part of the consultative selling process.
• Understand personal brand in order to develop your brand image and brand identity.

Discover how to become the leader your clients and team turn to for guidance and support by cultivating trust, building strong relationships, and embracing your role as a trusted advisor.
