Helping People Perform

How can we not only embrace change, but use it as a lever for how we lead? 

This week's guest, Allison Ness, is an experienced Transformational Change Leader known for leading organisational transformations in complex and fast paced organisations.

We chat about what it means to help organisations use Change (and Transformational Change in particular) as a differentiator for competitive advantage.

Change is a constant, and it's only going to get bigger, faster and more impactful as we move forwards. Building and flexing your Change muscle is a game changer.

Even if you have the right tools and frameworks to help you solve your problems, and technically you know how to apply them, without stories you will inevitably lack the engagement of your team, meaning you won't achieve the High Performance you're after

Stories play a huge part in driving and maintaining performance, and I explore that in this week's episode

The call that every parent dreads - your child has been hit by a boulder. Literally.

In this week's episode I speak with Meridith Alexander about the story of her daughter's horrific accident, and how she found the strength to do everything she could to be there for her daughter and help her not only survive, but thrive.

So many lessons to be taken from this amazing story

In this week's episode I delve deeper into ingredient 1 in the High Performance recipe - the right Tools & Frameworks 

It's all well and good having great stories to engage your team, and great facilitation skills to implement tools, but if you don't know what the right tools are to help you solve the problem at hand then you will always struggle

3 time USA Memory Champion John Graham has a lot to teach the world in terms of building up your memory muscle through techniques that are available to all of us. But his passion lies in helping people perform by conquering anxiety and releasing panic, for good.

We talk about how John got into the world of competitive memory after he was inspired by the book Moonwalking With Einstein, the art & science of remembering everything, by Joshua Foer (link to book on Amazon)

However, John had always suffered with panic and anxiety, even when performing at his peak, so he wanted to not only manage those feelings, but find a way to get rid of them permanently. After proving the method for himself he now teaches others how they can release panic attacks and daily anxiety, for good.

My experience has taught me that there are 3 ingredients to the High Performance recipe:

Any 2 of these ingredients without the 3rd, and/or an imbalance between the 3 areas, will lead to performance being 'left on the table'

High Performance is Exciting, Easy and Glamorous. Right?

Just look at those F1 drivers, or your favourite pop star. What a life they're leading!

But what goes on behind the scenes to get to that high performance is:

Which is why it's so important to enjoy the journey to High Performance, and see the results as the icing on the cake

High Performance is great. But we can't always be there all of the time.

When we find ourselves under-performing (be that in work or in your personal life), what can we do to get back on track?

In this week's episode I share a story from F1, as well as tying in with some personal aspects that I'm looking to get back on track for my own performance.
