In this insightful episode of Project Peak Performance, hosts James and Dave sit down with Kelly Hobbs, a Special Educational Needs teacher, trainee counselor, and mother of twins, to explore how parents and educators can raise emotionally resilient children in an ever-changing world. With her unique blend of professional expertise and personal parenting experience, Kelly provides heartfelt advice and practical strategies for fostering emotional growth, connection, and resilience.

Kelly opens up about the power of gentle parenting, where understanding and validating children’s emotions take center stage. She explains how behavior is often a child’s way of communicating when words fall short and shares how parents can respond in ways that promote trust and emotional development. From using play to connect with children’s inner worlds to decoding the subtle signals that may indicate deeper issues, Kelly emphasizes the importance of empathy and curiosity in parenting.

The conversation also delves into the cornerstone of emotional resilience—co-regulation. Kelly explains how staying calm and present helps children regulate their emotions while teaching self-regulation for the future. She also highlights the critical differences between tantrums and meltdowns, equipping parents with tools to handle each situation with confidence and compassion.

The discussion takes a deeper look at how traditional education systems often miss the mark on emotional well-being. Kelly and the hosts explore the need for child-centered approaches that prioritize emotional safety, critical thinking, and self-expression over rigid academic benchmarks.

Practical tools like the SAD model make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to guide children through emotional challenges while nurturing their independence and resilience. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode is packed with actionable advice, relatable stories, and a powerful reminder of the role we play in shaping the emotional lives of the next generation.

In this episode of Project Peak Performance, Rob and Dave dive straight into the heart of Ben Coomber’s message: success without sacrificing well-being. They dig into Ben's approach to shifting away from the outdated "alpha mentality," choosing instead to integrate balance, self-awareness, and smart nutrition into leadership. The concept of a “CEO day” stands out—a dedicated day purely for strategic thinking, essential for recalibrating direction and avoiding burnout.

The pair discuss the real challenge of letting go of control, exploring how retaining too tight a grip can stifle growth. Instead, Ben’s approach is about creating space for team autonomy, fostering creativity, and building a culture that thrives on trust rather than fear. It’s a move from scarcity to abundance, emphasising how true leadership lies in empowering others rather than micromanaging.

Rob and Dave also address the reality of stress in high-performance environments, not as a detriment but as an opportunity for growth. Ben’s own journey of embracing therapy and coaching breaks down the walls around seeking help, presenting it as a powerful tool for both personal and professional clarity.

This isn’t just another business talk; it’s a direct look at leading with balance. It’s about aiming high without burning out, empowering teams, and creating success from a place of self-awareness and strength.

Is your cash losing value faster than you can save it? Robert Rolih’s philosophy of ‘cash is trash’ challenges the conventional wisdom of holding onto your savings while inflation quietly erodes its worth. In this episode, we explore how to protect your wealth from this hidden threat, drawing inspiration from our own financial journey. From the turbulent stock markets of the COVID-19 era to our cautious steps into cryptocurrency, we’ve had our fair share of highs and lows. But now, influenced by Robert, we’re shifting focus towards ETFs and index funds—diversified investment vehicles that offer stability and steady growth over time. Our conversation delves into the complexities of financial markets, revealing how we’ve embraced strategic opportunities and, more importantly, learned from our missteps to pave a more secure path forward.

On Project Peak Performance, we also take a hard look at the age-old debate between property and stock market investments. We weigh up how each asset class aligns with different risk appetites and long-term goals, whether it’s leveraging property for significant returns on small investments or spreading risk through index funds like the S&P 500. We share intriguing investment wins, such as a surprising gold stock triumph, and discuss why starting with a mock trading account could be the smartest way to test your strategy without real-world consequences. Community feedback and learning from past mistakes play a vital role in refining our approach, as we aim to expand our knowledge with insights from Robert Rolih and other financial experts, ensuring that every decision is built on experience and growth.

What if your old habits and thought patterns are holding you back, just like outdated software slowing down a laptop? On this episode of Project Peak Performance, Dave Gibbons shares his top 12 transformative insights from a year of deep exploration and podcasting, uncovering the hidden blocks to personal growth.

Dave brilliantly compares our mental processes to a laptop’s operating system—over time, our habits and thoughts become outdated, limiting us from reaching our full potential. By recognising these patterns and ‘updating’ our mental software, we open the door to incredible personal growth and breakthroughs. One of the most powerful insights from this year has been the importance of emotional intelligence. As we explore with guests like Stephen, self-awareness is the key to unlocking unresolved thoughts that weigh us down. Being conscious of your inner dialogue can help you clear the path to a healthier, more focused mindset.

Ever felt like you’re juggling too many things at once? Think of it like having a hundred "tabs" open on your computer. It’s mentally exhausting. We discuss how focusing on the right things at the right time prevents mental burnout and helps you achieve peak performance. Through real-life stories and practical advice, Dave highlights the role of small, everyday decisions that make a big difference—like getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, eating well, and moving your body. These aren’t just ‘wellness trends’; they’re pillars for optimizing how you think, feel, and perform.

The episode also underscores the power of setting crystal-clear goals and maintaining a mission-critical mindset. Dave reflects on the profound psychological impact of making—and keeping—personal and professional commitments. Building self-trust is like building credibility with yourself, and it’s essential for long-term success. Alongside this, we dive into the art of balance: how nurturing different areas of your life while creating a structured daily routine is essential for holistic growth.

We wrap up this enriching discussion with Dave’s 12 key takeaways from a year spent pushing boundaries and unlocking potential, inviting you to connect with our growing community. If you’re serious about levelling up both personally and professionally, this episode is packed with actionable insights designed to help you shift gears, reboot your mental software, and thrive.
