    Ep. 42 "Making your best day better" (Guest: Dr. Chris Shambrook)
    Sep 24 2021
    Another massive episode this week that has Sean and Mark talking to Sports Psychologist Dr. Chris Shambrook of Planet K2. Chris has worked with Team GB's rowing team, as well as British cricket teams and the Cambridge Boat Race crew. It's an episode chock full of ideas and takeaways on how to get a team working at peak performance consistently. In the episode they cover visualising successful performance not just successful outcomes, what acceptable failure and unacceptable success looks like. They also talk about shorting the gap between your best day and your worst, how positive attitude is only useful if it leads to positive actions and why party food (and Coco the Clown) have no place in the meeting room. Dr. Chris references a few books in the episode:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C3ZT28C/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8andbtkr=1 (9 Lies About Work - Marcus Buckingham / Ashley Goodall) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_to_Great (Good To Great - Jim Collins) As well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman%27s_stages_of_group_development (Tuckman's Model of Team Development ) Sean also recommends Dr. Chris' appearance on Dan Abrahams' https://thesportpsychshow.libsyn.com/126-frances-houghton-mbe-dr-chris-shambrook-learnings-from-five-olympic-games (The Sports Psych Show) You can https://www.theperformanceroom.co.uk/ (access the Performance Room resources here) and find out more about https://www.planetk2.com/ (Planet K2 here).

    Ep. 41: "Creative people... they're unbelievable" (Guest: Hywel Evans)
    Sep 4 2021
    A refreshed and invigorated Sean and Mark return form their Summer break and dive straight in with creativity consultant, enterprise and innovation adviser and audio producer Hywel Evans. In the episode they cover the myth of the uncreative person, how organisations kill ideas and where they go today and, in a sideways move, why it can be valuable to pretend you are a penguin. They also discuss making creativity a collaborative process, why you are better off paying for a bar tab than that expensive team-building away day and what to do when your ideas are met with a big fat no. Plus lots more. In the episode they Hywel references https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity (Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talk), the documentary https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13302848/ (Inside Pixar) and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2MaADRnh8_k (the opening sequence of La La Land).

    Ep. 40 "Ask the right questions" (Guest: Ben Wharfe from FIIT)
    Jun 18 2021
    Sean and Mark are able to grab a chat Ben Wharfe, Chief People Officer for exercise brand https://fiit.tv/ (FIIT) about his own journey from a giant corporation into a startup, finding himself in the people business along the way. Ben talks about the FIIT Culture Book that he put together to articulate and illustrate the values, vision and behaviours of the company - you can read a copy of Volume 1 https://issuu.com/fiit/docs/fiit-culture-book-vol-1 (here) and how you might go about recruiting for diversity but also diversity of thought. He also surprises the guys by telling them that there have been people who have shown up to interview without even looking at the app! Sean also shamelessly angles himself as the next FIIT coach. His USP? A 'Dad-bod'. In the episode Sean mentions Brene Brown's https://brenebrown.com/dtl-podcast/ (Dare to Lead Podcast) and http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast (Marc Maron's).
