E113 | Alena Luciani: Adversity, Loss, & Leadership in Coaching

August 13, 2020

Does experiencing loss or adversity make you a more effective leader? On today’s show, Alena Luciani and I discuss how trial and tribulation help us forge stronger relationships and facilitate better communication practices.


Also on today’s episode:




  • Exposure > vulnerability




  • What to do when you see your biggest strength as a weakness




  • How many training and nutrition certifications do we need?




  • “Motivation is glamorized”




A former athlete and collegiate strength coach, Alena is the founder and owner of Training 2XL, a business that offers mentorship masterminds, custom fitness/nutrition programming, small group training and “Cueing & Programming” clinics. She is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, USA Weightlifting Sport Performance Coach, and Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach.
