Allistair McCaw - You Can't Give Energy, If You Don't Have Energy

The Ben Ryan Podcast

Show Notes

So, It’s series three and for my first guest of the re-branded 'Culture & Performance Podcast' I thought it would great to kick off with a best-selling author and speaker and someone who’s recognised as one of the world's foremost figures in leadership, team culture and performance, Allistair McCaw.

For over 25 years Allistair has worked with some of the most successful people, teams, colleges and organisations in the world. We first met when we were both presenting at a conference for Paris St Germain FC , we struck up a conversation and have continued to swap notes ever since.

We used his most recent book ‘Lead with Purpose, Make An Impact’ as the framework for this discussion. He’s given us 44 different stop off points to consider what impacts on our leadership and performance environment. It was a good way to prop up our conversation and covered subjecta like, how you deal with the tough conversations, managing your energy and burn out, routines and the idea of “countback” as well many other stories and tools.

I was late getting on the call to Alistair in California as my wi-fi was playing up so it seemed apt to start the chat around what he thought about timings.
