The Shift Control Sales Podcast

I really enjoyed recording this podcast with Hugh Gilmore, a sports psychologist working with the British Weightlifting and athletic teams.

I first crossed paths with Hugh 7-8 years ago whilst we were both offering different levels of support to the Queens University Sigerson team.

On a recent podcast I heard Hugh talk about the comparisons with sport and business in terms of creating culture and a high performance environment. In this episode we cover a lot of territory - the difference in culture and traditions to the theory of motivational interviewing.

Hugh talks about how he helped to create a thriving culture in British weightlifting and gives some first class insights into his area of expertise.

He has his own podcast 'Eight % Mental' and runs workshops occasionally on these very subjects.

He was incredibly generous with his time - we spent 4 hours chatting, most of which could have made it onto the podcast and definitely hope to get him back on before the year is out.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.

In episode 17 of the Shift Control Podcast I speak with Paul Creighton, CEO of AES Global - a company specialising in home security systems, operating across 28 countries globally.

It was an enjoyable podcast on a number of levels - Paul gives great insight into his business and how he has been able to manifest a clear goal - a from "bedroom to boardroom" journey - emotional intelligence, resilience and how he has been able to help support local businesses survive the recent pandemic.

Changing culture in an organisation doesn’t happen over-night.

Attitudes and behaviours within an organisation are deep rooted and change takes time.

Being adaptive, flexible and innovative are ‘ticket to entry’ behaviours for most organisations these days – brand values need to be reflected in individual and collective behaviours. Sounds straight forward yet there is often a clash between the desire for innovation and change and the prevailing culture.

Capacity for change varies from individual to individual yet everyone wants to feel that their work is at the very least valued.

In this episode of the Shift Control Podcast, I talk to Kevin Young from Inmynd an organisation dedicated to personal and corporate transformational change.

I have known Kevin for a few years and I am delighted to get him onto the podcast and this episode should make interesting listening for those business leaders who are considering or are on the cusp of cultural change within their organisation.

It will also make great listening for those people who are going through a period of transition and feel impeded by fear and anxiety.

Kevin is very experienced in the world of high performance sales, working for a global telecoms business, has been self-employed and is currently a counsellor and therapist of the psychotherapeutic method of Compassionate Inquiry developed by Dr Gabor Maté.

There are some incredibly powerful messages across a wide range of subjects from the conscious and unconscious within the individual to the change of culture within organisations.

Enjoy.

This podcast is a reflection on why some people engage in sales training successfully and why others don't. It's as easy to be the accused as it is the victim but my question is what really motivates business and business owners to engage with sales coaches if they expect a short term result.

Would be interested in thoughts on this - everyone should be looking from a sweet spot customer - coaches as well.

Leaving the decision making process down to a search engine can also be a disappointment.

Thanks for reading

Can anything that's processed be all that good for us?

I'm thinking food to start with - what makes food accessible and gives it greater shelflife also as the potential in the long term to kill us.

What about processed media?

Can it have the same long term impact?
