  • Martin Buccheit & George Perry - Learning What Not To Do, Is As Important As Knowing What To Do
    It's two for the price of one on this week's podcast as I'm joined by two world-class operators. The first, Martin Buchheit, I have known and worked alongside in a Nike research and innovation group for the past five years. Until recently, he was head of performance at PSG FC, from the outside at least, one of the best jobs in football. Martin’s now working for Kitman labs, a company using analytics research to help sports teams find out what works and what doesn’t and also in a part time capacity at Lille Football Club and he’s also just released a book called EGOals, which talks about all things ego and really is an ego playbook for high performance workplaces.
    His co-writer, George Perry, is my other guest. George has worked for the US Navy as an officer and now coaches in track and field in the United States and you’ll hear in this conversation how ego was integral to the ultimate path that George took with regard to his line of work.
    Through their collective experiences they are authorities to talk about ego and we also discuss the stories and thoughts of many of the world-class practitioners that have also contributed to the book and that come from some of the most well know sports teams and organisations on the planet. I too was delighted to be able to contribute some of my experiences around ego, including my own, but we started the conversation with me asking them both of them how they would firstly describe what ego is.

  • Chris Skelley - Keep Moving Forward, Keep Staying Positive
    For today's show it's the irrepresible Chris Skelley. Only a couple of months ago he won Judo gold in the visually impared under 100kg category at the Paralympics in Tokyo. He's also a European and World Champion.
    Chris grew up playing rugby and competing in Judo from the age of five, but in his teenage years his sight began to suffer due to Ocular Albinism and that led to a huge change in his life, in every area. We talk about that and how it's fuelled his positivity and fashioned the path he's on now. Styles of learning, understanding the individual, trust between coach and athlete all crop up in what both turned out to be a heart-warming, inspiring and light-hearted conversation and we started by talking about the aftermath of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Chris missing out on a podium finish and how that threw even more coals on his fire of further development.

  • Aidan McCullen Part 3 - Leaders Need To Be More Like Coaches
    Today’s show its the last in a three-part series with former rugby player Aidan McCullen who these days is an executive coach, host of the weekly podcast, the ‘Innovation Show’ and author of new book ‘Undisruptable’.
    Last week we talked about discipline versus talent, manifestation and positive thinking as well as his own very successful professional playing career and how that has helped shape a lot of his current thinking. This week we get into subjects like feedback, both giving and receiving it, communication, mentoring and teaching yourself to be open to a reinvention mindset and what that actually means, but we start today’s show talking about failure and using the Japanese idea of Kintsugi thinking.

  • Aidan McCullen Part 2 - There’s Nothing In A Caterpillar, That Tells You It’s Going To Be A Butterfly
    Today’s show is the second of a three-part series with former rugby player, turned exec coach, podcaster and writer, Aidan McCullen.
    Last week we talked about nutrition and breathing and how he is ever-evolving as a father and husband by learning new things each week and this week we discuss Aidan’s playing career, from being capped with Ireland, Leinster, his arrival in France with first Dax and then his dream club, Toulouse before finishing his career in England with London Irish.
    He’s so good to chat too and in this episode we cover topics such as discipline vs talent, manifestation, which I’m a big believer in and the role of mentors which is also something we delve even deeper into next week in the third and final part, but we started by Aidan talking about one of the great minds of the 20th century.

  • Aidan McCullen Part 1 - If It Takes Slower To Get There, It’ll Last Longer
    Aidan McCullen played professional rugby for over a decade, including huge clubs like Leinster and Toulouse and was capped by Ireland too, but since his playing days he has transformed himself into one of life’s great learners and communicators. From hosting his own amazing podcast 'The Innovation Show', which is listened to by none other than Bill Gates, to lecturing, coaching executives and writing his first book, Undisruptable, we dip into lessons learnt from all of those facets of his life as well as his role as father to his two young sons, which you’ll hear has been informative in more ways than one, but we start with a question that Aidan has recently started to ask himself.

  • Alice Dearing - You Thrive When Surrounded By Good People
    For today’s show, I chat to an athlete who's just returned from her first Olympic Games , open water swimmer, Alice Dearing. When we met in a small park in Camberley in the south of England, she was still unpacking all of what she’s been through from being part of the hugely successful team GB to her first Olympic final and how she would approach it again. It was fascinating to listen to her talk about all of that, how she deals with the ridiculously early morning training and volume as well as the sheer danger involved in swimming in open water. Alice is also Great Britain’s first female black swimmer and we talk about that as we close our chat but we start with me asking her how she’s dealing with her time off and not being in a strict regime.

  • Tom Mitchell Part 2 - How Putting Your Plate Away Can Lead To The Team Scoring More Goals
    It’s the second part of the chat I had, walking through Richmond Park in South London, with Olympic Silver Medallist and England and Team GB Rugby Sevens Captain at both the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games, Tom Mitchell. We discuss building values from day one, putting time into relationships, confidence and lack of it and life after professional sport, but we started by speaking about how do you convince an athlete that filling in a questionnaire or turning up on time for a meeting is eventually going to help you win the game or win the tournament.
