- Making Marginal Gains
When we think of achievements, we often think of the biggest goals gained, a gold medal, running a marathon, or securing a deal, but how do we get there?
Progress is usually thought of when we achieve big things, but it often comes from the small improvements through the habits which are applied consistently. Sir David Brailsford is a prime example of making 1% improvements in the UK Cycling Team every day.When we focus on the small improvements and everyday habits to get us there, we will eventually get to the end goal.
31 min - Networking Again

32 min - Networking Not Working
Networking has been with us forever but now there is so much of it and much little more than dating with a group of people simply trying to sell to each other. But a strong network is about much more, strong relationships built upon trust
31 min - Imperfect perfection

31 min - How to scale?
When businesses scale, they need to become less dependent upon individuals and learn to use technology, processes, and system. Having ‘A’ players is great but it’s not enough if the business is to move to the next level because people unlike systems cannot be cloned.

33 min - Pause to reflectA chance to revisit some of the key themes such as the importance of people, effective leadership, recruiting the right people and getting the best from them and for them. And finally, why mindset is so important and why it really does ‘all start with you.’28 min
