In the podcast, Rory shares a wealth of information that every business owner can benefit from applying, regardless of size or industry.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Rory Underwood is probably best known for his international rugby career. Not only for scoring a record 49 tries for England (95 caps, 1984-1996) but also for winning 7 caps for the British Lions touring Australia (1989) and New  Zealand (1993). Rory played first class rugby at Leicester Tigers for an unbelievable 14 years and was awarded the MBE in  1992 for his services for rugby. Rory joined the Board of Leicester Tigers as a non-executive Director in Nov 2007.

Throughout this record-breaking rugby career Rory amassed 3000 hours flying as a pilot in his 18 years in the Royal Air Force. During his RAF career he flew the Jet Provost TMk5A, Hawk TMk1A, Tornado GR1, Canberra T17 and the Dominie. He was responsible for introducing Crew Resources Management (CRM) training into the RAF, thereby developing a culture where personnel look at how teamwork and decision making is effected in time limited stressful situations.

Rory has a specific interest and expertise in the areas of effective communication and high performance leadership within teams. His experience and insight gained through his stellar rugby and RAF career has allowed him to bring a different perspective into the performance of business teams. He is an experienced facilitator, psychometric profiler and performance coach.

Rory incorporates his inspirational experiences with practical performance activities creating an environment for delegates to explore and challenge their view of teams and how they can make an impact within the business. He will explore and challenge the delegates about their understanding of teams, high performance and how to measure it.

Rory uses his experiences from his time within high performance organisations and teams that are able to bring a different perspective than the normal ‘team building’ workshop. He explores the relationship between values and motivation that is bound together by trust to enable you to create and sustain a high performance team ethos within the organisation.

Rory combines the wealth of experience from international sport, the military, extreme human achievement and the tried and tested formula of personal and team development to create processes for individuals, teams and organisations to inspire performance.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about two extremely powerful words – I am. She explains why they are so powerful and shares several ways you can use them to achieve what you want in life. The techniques she shares helps you to tap into the power of being clear about your goals, visualization, taking action, and gaining momentum. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Achieving what you want in life starts with having the right mindset.
• Be clear on what you want to do in life and why.
• Once you are clear about what you want to be, instead of saying “I want to be XYZ”, start saying “I am XYZ”.
• Using I am phrasing influences you on a subconscious level. Your mind automatically starts to make decisions as if you are already the person you want to become.
• Visualising what it is you are trying to achieve or become and taking action is essential.
• Initially, the differences in the way you act will be small. But as you take each step, momentum will build, and soon the positive changes will come fast.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Anything you want to achieve in life starts really with your mindset.’

‘Who wants to settle for average, or mediocre, or to feel that you´ve not fulfilled your dreams? ´

‘Visualise what it is that you´re trying to achieve and become. Then take action. Action equals results.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Nick Ruddock who turned his passion for gymnastics into a full-time career. He has been coaching for 17 years, has coached for Team GB and Olympians, and today is a gymnastics consultant who runs his own successful business.

Nick and Jeannette talk about how the approach athletes employ to excel can be used to take any business to the top. They discuss effective goal setting, mindset, managing failure, creating winning teams and bouncing back from adversity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Always lead with passion.
• If you get the chance to merge your passion with your work, do so.
• There are many commonalities between running a business and being a successful world-class athlete.
• Athletes and business owners need to set firm goals, measure their performance, then adjust their approach.
• You have to target your efforts. It's not enough to be busy. What you are doing has to move things forwards.
• Often, it is the small things that lead to the biggest gains. An athlete improving by just 1% can be enough for them to win.
• There are always opportunities, but you must prioritise wisely.
• Mindset is critical.
• Everyone is going to fail at some point. Failure is feedback, it is a normal part of the learning process.
• Over-confidence leads to complacency.
• Invest in educating yourself at all stages of your life and business journey.
• Being able to take sticky topics and simplify them enough so people can understand is a valuable skill.

• Being self-aware will help you to perform better whatever you want to do.
• Hold up a mirror to yourself. Be uncomfortable, then address your issues, and leverage those lessons.

In this episode, Jeannette reflects on the events of 2020 and how things worked out for her and Chris. She talks about which trends she expects to continue and about some of the new ones that she sees emerging. Jeannette shares where she and Chris are going to be focusing their business efforts and why. Including details of some big opportunities, anyone can potentially take advantage of.

Jeannette provides you with 6 key questions that will help you to reflect honestly on the past year. As well as a set you can use to work out what path you should be following for 2021.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is important to pause periodically and think about how things have gone and where you are going.
• Identify what went well, what could have gone better, and what went wrong, and what you would do differently.
• Ask yourself what you have learned and achieved.
• Learn and use the stop, start, continue method.
• Determine what your options are. Then pick the ones that will take you forward and help you to achieve your goals.
• Make a list of what you need to do to get you there.
• 2020 has been a difficult year, it is important to reflect on and recognize how you felt.
• Think about the positives as well as the negatives, for example, the way the CoVid crisis made us appreciate each other more.
• Many of us have learned new skills to adapt to the CoVid situation.
• Businesses have been forced to innovate and pivot.
• The CoVid crisis led Jeannette to create a new mentoring business, take on new advisory clients, and start this podcast.
• 2021 is going to be all around resettling and regrouping.
• There is likely to be a recession and Brexit is sure to have an impact too.
• Home and flexible working are both set to continue.
• The businesses that have survived are leaner and meaner. When the time is right, they will be able to grow fast.
• There is a lot of pent-up demand for leisure, travel, better properties, and more leisure pursuits, all of which creates opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When we have busy lives, we rarely stop to take stock of where we are.’

‘We are so busy focusing on the next thing that we don´t actually give ourselves a bit of credit for what went well. ´

‘When everything is plodding along quite nicely it is hard to pivot.’
