ScaleX™ Insider Podcast

Owen Eastwood is one of the most sought-after performance coaches in the world.

He currently works with the British Olympic Team and the English Football Team in their World Cup year and is serving on the board of Harlequins Rugby. He has previously worked with diverse teams such as the Command Group of NATO, the South African Cricket Team, corporate leadership teams and in elite ballet.

Owen has a unique approach based on an evolutionary understanding of what makes a team of humans strong and weak. There are some incredible insights and some wonderful ancient wisdoms that we have stopped listening to and Owen's mission is to re-introduce people to those ideas.

His international bestbook 'Belonging' looks at teaming through the lens of homo sapiens evolutionary story, our ancestor's wisdom and provides a glimpse into some elite contemporary environments.

In today's episode we talk about:

• The importance of communicating your values through stories, specifically the story of us celebrating diversity but also anchoring it to a shared sense of identity
• How we should measure our lives by the impact we have on others
• The importance of painting a picture of shared vision and the research which underpins this
• Practical and profound ideas for embedding behaviours you want to see within your organisation
• The importance of living above the line to support high performance and high environment is critical to success.

In today's episode I'm delighted to re-introduce my business partner Claire Colvin. Claire and I discuss developing a scaling mindset, networking, becoming irrelevant as a business leader, managing fear and the importance of being vulnerable, telling stories to communicate your vision and purpose and much more.

Claire has worked as a partner to business leaders and entrepreneurs of high growth businesses helping them to scale through their people. As the former Talent Director on the Board of a rapidly growing global organisation, Claire built the optimum people centred structures and systems to enable the company to significantly scale across six continents.

In 2019, Claire became my business partner and we set out on a journey of discovery to extensively research exemplars of scaling to identify the key attributes that made them successful.

In 2011 Alice co-founded Scotland's leading social enterprise, Social Bite, a cafe chain famous for feeding and employing the homeless community, and bringing the likes of George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harry & Meghan and many more to Scotland. In 2020, with Social Bite fully established as a respected organisation employing over 100 people, Alice decided to leave. She found herself burnt out, and ironically, unfulfilled from a decade of high-pressure business expansion and professional growth. She flew the nest to begin a new chapter, curious to understand professional well-being, integrity and what having a purpose really means. Alice retrained as a Coach. She discovered that purpose and motivation are inextricably linked (neurobiologically) and that understanding ourselves on a deeper level and approaching life with authenticity can liberate us and the way we work. She prides herself on a science-based approach combining neurochemistry, cognitive behavioural coaching, the enneagram of personality and breath work. She offers 'Find Your Why' workshops for people and organisations on a purpose journey of their own and a 9-Month Purpose Coaching Programme for people looking for more meaning from their work. She uses her expertise to listen, guide, and challenge her client's limiting beliefs, facilitating a structured process that unlocks their true potential. She holds 3 Honorary Degrees for her contribution to social impact and social enterprise in Scotland, a Higher Diploma in Coaching, a Higher Diploma in People Management & a certificate in Neurochemistry and The Enneagram of Personality. Alice continues to give back by supporting 3 selected social enterprises pro bono.

In today's conversation we will explore:

• A personal account of how to cultivate a great partnership and some of the pitfalls to avoid for co-founders.
• Being aware of Founder's Syndrome and knowing when to step off the bus
• How do you scale your brand by leveraging celebrity and how this is much easier when you're leading a business for good.
• Alice also shares a very personal story of her mental health challenges whilst scaling social bite.

Ron Lovett is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker and author of Outrageous Empowerment and Scaling Culture. He also has a podcast called Scaling Culture.

Ron builds brands that challenge and disrupt their industries and loves nothing more than going back to the drawing board by creating companies with a purpose. Always in pursuit of a smarter, better way, he relentlessly researches best and simple processes and is quick to execute. Using his new-found best practices, he leverages them to provide consulting services to other businesses. His private security company, Source Security & Investigations, which was sold in 2017 changed the security industry. Passionate in his mission to develop the culture in his organization, Ron's hands-on approach was key, and the rock star culture is what set Source Security apart in an otherwise tired, boring industry. Not only did this help the company attract the best talent, but they have also accomplished three times the industry average profits and grew from a local Halifax-based company to over 3,000 employees across Canada.

Today, Ron is the Founder & Chief Community Officer of Vida which does workforce housing providing affordable living for Canadians.

In today's conversation we will explore:

• Building performance into your values
• The power of deep coaching
• The two critical elements missing in almost every coaching conversation
• Some of the challenges of coaching internally
• Community contests within your business and among your customers to cultivate passionate stakeholders
• Building systems to manage your team effectively rather than people managing people

James Kerr is a best-selling author and an expert in leadership, teamwork, and high performance. He is the author of 'Legacy', the international bestseller, which analyses the unique culture of the world's most successful sporting team, the All Blacks. The book has been described as 'unputdownable' by Bloomberg and The Daily Telegraph called it the 'modern version of Vince Lombardi's guides to coaching' and says, 'for those searching for genuine keys to team culture, it is manna from heaven.'

In his work, James addresses the transferable principles that drive exceptional outperformance. Using examples from his work with sport, the military and business, he argues that winning teams employ the same basic ideas; a relentless focus on excellence, a commitment to a collective cause, individual autonomy, trust initiative and accountability, candid communication, underpinned by a culture in which 'leaders create leaders'.

As an advisory, he helps organisations 'lift their game': galvanising and inspiring their teams through standards and expectations, identity, belief and belonging, mindset and mental skills. As well as small, elite teams, Kerr addresses the specific challenges faced by larger, more diverse organisations. He has advised US and UK Special Forces, Formula 1 teams, America's Cup crews, Premier League football managers, Olympic Performance Directors – as well as corporations ranging from Google to PayPal, McKinsey to Dyson, HSBC to Roche, Red Bull to Unilever, Shell to Boeing. His next book, Spearhead, explores 'the principles of war for the business of leadership', providing a fresh framework for leaders looking to turn culture into a 'force multiplier' for competitive advantage.

He is the co-founder of Fable Partners, the Leadership and Change Consultancy.

In today's conversation we will explore:

• The importance of story to inspire engagement
• Three aspects of culture
• The importance of celebrating failure
• Knowing what you stand for
• The importance of leading from within
• Listen out for the WIN acronym and the Blue Head concept for performing effectively under pressure.

Jodie Cook – The four-phase framework to scaling and exiting your business and the importance of systemisation.

Jodie is an entrepreneur, athlete, and writer.

In 2011, Jodie founded a digital agency called JC Social Media which was acquired in 2021. It was this foray into the business world which ignited Jodie's fascination with the influences that create entrepreneurs. Alongside running a business, she authors books and articles about entrepreneurship and competes in powerlifting.

Jodie contributes articles to Forbes and Thought Catalog and authored a book called Stop Acting Like You're Going To Live Forever, on the topics of happiness, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle design. She co-wrote a series of children's storybooks, Clever Tykes, which develop positive, resourceful, and creative behaviour in 6–9-year-olds which are now read in every primary school in the United Kingdom.

Jodie was included in Forbes' 30 under 30 social entrepreneurs in Europe 2017 and gave a TEDx talk with the title 'creating useful people'. She loves travel, lifestyle design and helping people access the freedom that modern entrepreneurship should bring.

Her latest book 'Ten Year Career' Reimagine Business, Design Your Life, Fast Track Your Freedom focuses on how to define success your way, how to achieve far more in a shorter space of time and how to run your business without it running you.

In today's conversation we will explore:

• The pitfalls of the comfort zone
• The four-phase framework to scaling and exiting your business
• The importance of systemising your business
• How we should think of our business as a game and how businesses can move levels within that game beyond where 96% of business owners never pass
• Practices which support a scaling mindset
• Listen out for the one thing for you to develop that becomes a multiplier to everything else you do.

Quote

"I think if selling is on your agenda in anyway, or if exiting your business in some way is something that you want to do in the future, you have to systemise otherwise you won't be able to sell it or if you do sell it, you have to do an earn out where you have to go with the company and you have to babysit it while the new buyer makes sure that you're doing your job. No entrepreneur wants that. So, the systemising phase has to have the endgame in mind. And it's always the vision you have to have in mind while you're doing it, because it will get hard, it will feel like a lot of effort, but it is worth it, I promise.
