Success iD

David Pilbeam and Glenn P Wallis review all the episodes aired in May, including Adversity as Success; Community as Success and Physical Wellbeing as Success. We look at lessons and insights that struck as at the time of recording and with the benefit of some more time to reflect. We also draw Season 1 of the Success iD Podcast to a close and set up Season 2 with some hints about the guest we are interviewing.

On this week's episode, we are joined by personal fitness trainer to the stars and to mere mortals like you and me, Steve Coleman. Steve has used his passion and energy about physical health to develop fitter and healthier clients for over 12 years. He helps clients appreciate the importance of looking after yourself physically and Steve makes clear in this episode the advantages of taking care of the vessel of your leadership, what you can do and what you should avoid. He spends time caring for his own physical wellbeing and role models that in a way that makes him very well placed to help us with the topic of Physical Wellness as Success.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by someone you may not know that you already know. My guest is Liam Wildish, who shot to fame for being a decent bloke. At 21 years of age Liam had set up his own cleaning business and decided that as his customers were largely based in his community and as he was being supported by them he wanted to return the favour. So, armed with little more than some soapy water and a high powered brush, he began cleaning road signs that were too dirty to see, as he was going from one cleaning job to another. He picked up litter around the sign once he had cleaned it and was heading back to his van, which he later popped in the recycling. Small acts that had a massive impact on his community and on himself, leading to over 3m views of a short film made about his work and a spot on BBC's One Show. This young man is a shining example to leaders of the importance of community as success.

Allan Huntly's story is one of adversity, piled on top of adversity with some more adversity mixed in but which ultimately ends in successfully rowing across the Atlantic in a World Record time. In this episode Allan shares the story of that race; the build up and his and the team's ultimate success, despite, or perhaps because of the adversity he had had to overcome.

In this episode, David Pilbeam and Glenn Wallis review the podcasts for April 2019. We explore the work of Judith Germain on Forging your own path as Success and Chris Nel's work on Adaptation as Success. We link themes across these where we can and identify key learnings from both episodes. Enjoy and share your thoughts with us on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn

In this week's episode Chris Nel, leadership coach and senior team facilitator, shares his insights on the topic of Adaptation as Success. Chris explains why being adaptable is the only sustainable competitive advantage for individuals, teams and organisations. He shares a simple three-legged stool model of building Adaptive Capability so you can focus easily on the areas that are going to make the biggest difference to your skills of leading yourself and/or others even more successfully. The three areas are:

•Awareness - The ability to candidly identify and acknowledge both the opportunities and threats we face.

•Leadership - The ability to inspire others to want to make the adaptation.

•Learning - The ability to benefit from the experience of trying to adapt.

On this week's podcast episode Judith Germain, leadership mentor, author, and leading authority on a concept she calls Maverick Leaders, discusses the idea of "forging your own path as success." Jude's work of nearly 15 years has been centred on 'wilfully independent people:' how to maximise the benefits from such a mindset; how to lead and manage such individuals effectively and how we can all develop some of that independent spirit in order to lead yourself and others successfully.

On this week's podcast I am chuffed to bits to be introducing you to someone who shaped much of my sporting career by being a role model for me (even though he didn't know it at the time!) Neil Adams MBE is a former 5 times European Judo champion. He won the World Championships in 1981 and was twice the Olympic Silver medallist. Neil has recently been awarded his 9th Dan for services to judo. Neil now runs his own technical judo business with his Olympian wife Niki, is a key note speaker and is known professionally and affectionately as "the voice of judo" for his outstanding judo commentary. He is incredible well placed to share his thoughts with us on Winning as Success.

Neil's latest book, which is highly readable and very honest can be found on Amazon here:

Here he led a team of expert divers in search and recovery duties. In this episode he reflects on his work and how a sense of duty influenced his leadership of this highly effective team.
