What messaging should you be putting out there as a leader when things aren't going to plan? And what about when they are?
When your team isn't getting the performance results that you're after, how you position your messaging (both internally and externally) can have a profound effect on trust, morale and ultimately future performance.
In this episode I reflect on some of the messaging style that I've seen from Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren, and what you, as leaders, can learn and emulate from it.
What would it mean to you to be able to generate a year's worth of Marketing material in just 5 days?

Burnout is something that can happen to any of us, particularly at the end of a "season"

Are you spending all of your time in back-to-back meetings? Need inspiration from elsewhere to free up your time? Then this week's episode is for you!

When was the last time you had a conversation about money? How about a private conversation about money, with yourself?
In this week's episode I speak with former broker, trader and financial software developer, turned founder of the Mind Muscle Academy, Richard Friesen.
Richard helps turn the psychology of money on it head, and in the process helps people to overcome the limiting beliefs they didn't even know existed when it comes to earning potential.
As an EXCLUSIVE OFFER to this podcast, get access to his Conversations with Money course for FREE by visiting https://conversations.money/perform/
Or feel free to contact Richard directly at rich@mindmuscles.com
Whether it's sausages changing banking, or ballerinas helping the pit stop perform, sometimes you need a new perspective in order to improve your performance
The REFRAME model gives you something to follow to help identify the new perspectives to up your game:
- RESULT - what is the performance you're trying to find?
- ELEMENTS - what are the elements of success that impact the results?
- FOCUS - which of these elements give you the most leverage?
- REPUTATION - who has a reputation for excellence in your focus areas?
- ANALOGY - what is the story of connection that you can make to help 'sell' the story in your organisation?
- MASTERY - how has that organisation developed mastery?
- EXECUTION - how can you adapt the learnings and then adopt the approaches so that they become standard practice in your organisation?
Sometimes it takes going to hell and back (and then some) to really drive change.
What would you do if you were sent to prison for something you didn't do, with no defined release date? Blame others? Seek revenge? Or focus on the core beliefs and values that put you in a position where that outcome happened?
Marc's story is one of injustice, loss, but most of all of inner focus and the power of change that you have at your disposal.

Lights. Camera. Action!
It's a phrase we've all heard at some point in our lives, and something that invokes thoughts of movie sets, director's chairs and clapper boards. Which is why it's such a great model for helping people perform!

The physical environment that you work in can have a big impact on helping you (or hindering you) perform. Whilst you don't need to go to the lengths of taking your workplace standards to the level of the McLaren Technology Centre (see video link below for a view), be aware of if and how your environment is contradictory to what you're trying to achieve and the messages that you're looking to give to your customers and your team

What does it take to cause a Ripple Effect?

What did I learn about resilience from the world of F1? In particular, how did joining McLaren whilst they were 'riding the crest of a slump' teach me about remaining resilient when things aren't going as you'd hope?
Having an independent viewpoint when investing in technology for your performance can be hugely valuable. Not only in terms of giving you the confidence in moving forward with the right solutions, but the financial and time savings can be huge.
In this week's episode I speak with Rob Broadhead about how he helps people perform through the RIGHT solutions for your challenges and opportunities

Being able to test out real-world scenarios without the time, cost and effort to make changes in the real world can give you a huge competitive advantage.
So what can we learn from how the world of F1 has approached simulation, and apply that for ourselves to accelerate performance? In this episode I share some of my key insights from working in that world and helping others to apply the thinking. And if it can be applied to supermarket shelf stacking, it can be applied anywhere!
