Show Notes
If you have listened to last weeks episode then you would have heard leading psychologist, Dr Austin Swain, talk about coping with pressure, confidence, psychological safety and a whole lot more. We continue that conversation in this week’s show as we jump into the world of business and work-life, from a leadership point of view, but also the different styles of leadership and new ways of working, communicating and avoiding burnout.
From stories of the battle between Coco-cola and Pepsi, to bringing values to life, adapting to a new role and the idea from one of the greatest-ever TED talks that “every contact leaves a trace', we’re going deep!
I also bring some of this back to sport with recollections from my own career, but also remember - the vehicles we use to tell these stories might be relevant to Austin or me but like so much of our learning , we can use these ideas to morph into our own world’s and thoughts. Whether we realise it or not, we all use a form of performance psychology in our everyday lives to varying degrees. It might be a simple moment of appreciation to someone you work with that lifts their esteem and reinforces positive behaviours or it could be in performing the role of mentor, but we start today’s chat around the subject of feedback - giving it, receiving it and it’s importance in any high-performing structure.
