T2 Hubcast: Recent Episodes
Martin Johnson
Welcome to the T2 Hubcast, where thought provoking and inspiring business, management and personal development topics are discussed.
This episode of the People Performance Podcast features host Martin Johnson and guest Sean Royce, a long-serving business leader.
The conversation covers Sean's career journey, his transition from where he started as a graduate trainee and rose to become the Managing Director and essentially CEO. He also discusses his more recent work with the high-growth company Quick Line.
Key Takeaways:
- Leadership Style: Sean describes his style as a "collegiate type leader" who believes that "leadership is shared, it's not imposed. So you've got to earn that respect."
- Hiring Philosophy: He emphasises looking for potential hiring for "tomorrow as well as today" prioritising drive and attitude over immediate competence.
- Business Vision: He advocates for building businesses that are sustainable for "decades," which requires establishing the right culture, environment, and leadership from the outset.
- Leading Through Crisis: He stresses the importance of a leader maintaining confidence during difficult times, as "confidence breeds confidence" in the wider team.
In this episode Tracy Roberts is joined by Introverted Finance Leader Jane Playle. They deep dive into two transformative areas of professional development: Introverted leadership and Self-development.
They challenge the traditional view of leadership, highlighting how an individual's "quieter style" can actually be their most profound strength and tool for influence.
They explore practical strategies for success, tackling common challenges like networking and public speaking, and offering advice for both introverts and the managers who lead them to make space for all personality types.
More broadly, the discussion centers on a powerful mindset shift: learning how to view limitations not as roadblocks, but as opportunities for innovation. The core message is one of reframing personal obstacles by saying, "I won't do it like that, but what I can do is do it like this."
Tune in to learn how to capitalise on your unique way of thinking, leverage your natural strengths, and capture every opportunity for self-development in your career.

In this Leader Lounge episode, Martin talks about what it means to have a growth mindset.
A growth mindset is defined as the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication, effort, and learning, as opposed to being fixed or innate.
The episode delves into five key elements of a growth mindset, including:
- Thinking Big: The process of visualising an ambitious, optimistic future outcome the "flag on the hill" that requires challenge and sacrifice but offers a significant reward.
- Resourcefulness: The ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome obstacles and challenges, using only what you currently have rather than what you'd like to have.
- Bouncing Back from Setbacks (Resilience): The ability to return to one's baseline emotional and mental state after a triumphant or traumatic event, an attribute people with a growth mindset display in abundance.
- Focusing on the Controllables: Managing and influencing the factors within a situation to achieve a desired outcome, which helps the individual feel back in control.
- Critical Thinking: The process of analysing facts, evidence, and arguments to make informed choices, which critically involves recognising and challenging one's own underlying biases, assumptions, and worldviews.

In this episode Martin and Bernice, describe the strategic stack as a pyramid with different layers that, when properly implemented, give an organisation the greatest chance of success.
Lack of clarity is the number one reason for an organisation's failure and that the strategic stack is the key to providing that clarity and direction.
They break down the three main elements of the strategic stack:
- Mission: The mission is the organisation's "message to the world" and its external statement of purpose. It should be simple, punchy, impactful, and describe what the organisation is trying to achieve in 12 words or less.
- Vision: The vision is the internal goal for the organisation, describing how the mission will be achieved.
- Goals: Goals are the measurable, tangible milestones and outcomes that an organisation wants to achieve each year to advance its mission and vision.

In this episode, Martin is joined by Gareth Webb, Managing Director from Fair Ways, a charity that provides a range of services for children, including fostering and education.
The conversation is centred around Leadership within the charity sector, fostering and the development of children, and people in general, flourish in environments that provide a crucial balance.
Martin and Gareth emphasises that while children need unconditional love and care to feel safe and secure, this must be paired with discipline, boundaries, and clear expectations.
A key highlight of the episode is Fairways' "Fostering Initiative", which aims to bridge the gap between businesses and the fostering community. The goal is to encourage companies to adopt "Fostering Friendly Employer" policies. This initiative is designed to support employees who are also foster carers by providing them with practical benefits.
These include flexible working arrangements and paid time off for things like training and helping a new child settle into their home.
Gareth presents this initiative not only as a socially responsible act for businesses but also as a way to significantly improve the lives of vulnerable children.

In this episode, T2 consultants Scott Morrison and James Cooper discuss the topic of meetings. The conversation focuses on effective meetings, when they are necessary, and what to do within them to make them productive.
Scott and James break down and describe six different types of meetings:
- Information Exchange Meeting: The purpose is to share critical information, like a press conference, with a clear agenda.
- Status Update Meeting: This meeting is a quick "pit stop" to keep a project on track with a structured format, focusing on what has been done, what will be done, and any potential blockers. The focus is on quick updates, not a person's life story.
- Team Build Meeting: This type of meeting is for strengthening relationships, building trust, and fostering human connection and collaboration within a team. These sessions can include icebreakers and informal discussions to create a safe space for communication.
- Blue Sky Session: These are creative, mind-mapping sessions where there are no judgments or constraints, and no ideas are considered "bad". The goal is to think differently and challenge the norm.
- Big Decision Meeting: The purpose of this meeting is to make significant, high-impact choices. It involves reviewing options and analysing data that has been provided beforehand. The speakers use a jury deliberation as an analogy for this type of meeting.
- Problem Solver Meeting: This meeting is for a team to collectively identify the root cause of an issue and develop solutions. The focus is on getting to the root cause, analysing the issue, and collaboratively designing a solution.
This episode also provides tips for effective meetings, including:
- Creating and sharing a clear agenda and expectations.
- Inviting only the necessary people.
- Designating a facilitator to keep the conversation on track.
- Establishing ground rules, such as no phones or distractions.
- Practicing good time management.
- Concluding the meeting with clear next steps, assigning ownership, actions, and timeframes (OAT).

In this episode Tracy is joined by special guest Carly Killen, Menopause strength & Breath-work Coach.
She shares her personal journey from being a dietitian in the NHS to becoming a personal trainer and later discovering breath-work after experiencing burnout.
This episode focuses on the importance of self-care, particularly breath-work, for improving both personal and professional life.
Carly highlights how burnout and stress can be a result of constantly being on a "hamster wheel" of work. Tracy and Carly discuss how integrating practices like breath-work can help regulate the nervous system, improve productivity, and even enhance self-confidence and assertiveness.
Carly also debunks the myth that slowing down is a waste of time, stating that a short break can lead to a significant increase in productivity.
Carly also emphasises that while breathing techniques can be used for calming, they can also be used to energise and activate the body. Carly provides a practical example of a "coherence breath" that can be used to stay calm in stressful work situations and a "breath of fire" technique to increase energy and focus.

In this episode of the Leader Lounge, Martin discusses optimal performance and its relevance for teams and organisations.
The three distinct performance models:
- Peak Performance ⛰️: This model involves meticulous planning to achieve a desired outcome at a specific point in time.
Optimal Performance 📈: This is the model most relevant for everyday life and work. It's about responding to daily situations and doing the best you can with the time and resources you have.
High Performance 🚀: This is presented as a byproduct of continuous optimal performance. A team or individual achieves high performance by maintaining an optimal performance state over a period of time while staying aligned with their goal.
Martin also highlights four key attributes that enable people and leaders to perform in times of drudgery:
Courage: The ability to manage fear and step into difficulty despite that fear.
- Discipline: The ability to remain focused to achieve an outcome despite delays. This includes both self-discipline (resisting temptation) and external discipline (accomplishing the task).
- Resilience: The ability to return to a baseline emotional and mental state after a stressful event.
- Persistence: The determined continuance in a course of action despite opposition or delay.

In this episode, Tracy and Bernice delve into the concept of the adaptability quotient (AQ), highlighting its crucial role in navigating and thriving in our ever-changing world.
It posits that AQ, which measures an individual's capacity to adjust to new conditions and learn from experiences, is just as vital for success as the more traditionally recognised IQ (logic and knowledge) and EQ (empathy and communication).
The podcast breaks down AQ into five key components:
- Cognitive flexibility: The ability to think creatively and consider different viewpoints, shifting your thinking when needed.
- Emotional resilience: The capacity to maintain emotional stability when facing change and setbacks, with the goal of bouncing back to a baseline state.
- Unlearning and relearning: The willingness to let go of outdated knowledge and acquire new skills.
- Situational awareness: The ability to effectively read and respond to your surrounding environment, including the emotional journeys of others.
- Growth mindset: This is viewed as a spectrum rather than a fixed state, and involves consciously developing areas where you may be less growth-oriented.

In this Leader Lounge episode, Martin discusses three psychological states: the neutral state, the challenge state, and the threat state.
The episode breaks down each of the three psychological states:
- Neutral State: This is an "even-keel" state where you are busy doing nothing, avoiding pain, and seeking comfort. It's a restorative state for the brain, allowing it to enter the default mode network (DMN) for inward focus on things like reflection and future planning.
- Challenge State: In this state, you seek pleasure and reward and are willing to endure some pain, challenge, and discomfort to build confidence and competence. This state involves a healthy release of adrenaline and cortisol, keeping you focused on what you control and want to achieve.
- Threat State: This is a survival mechanism where extreme levels of adrenaline and cortisol flood the body and brain, creating a "fight or flight" response to a perceived threat. The speaker notes that while this was an evolutionary response to predators, in the modern world, it can be triggered by a constant stream of information and perceived dangers.

This episode hosted by Tracy Roberts and Martin Johnson, focuses on the concept of "executive presence".
Executive presence is defined as the qualities, characteristics, and behaviours that make a leader appear confident, capable, and influential, thereby inspiring trust and respect from others.
Tracy and Martin delve into six key areas that contribute to how individuals subconsciously evaluate a leader's executive presence. The initial discussion centers on the "contribution score," which assesses the impact and quality of a leader's contributions in various settings. This score encompasses two main components:
- Delivery: This includes elements such as vocabulary, volume, pace, pitch, tone, clarity, body language, and non-verbal cues.
Impact: This refers to the ability to connect with others emotionally, and to deliver novel and memorable messages. * Contact us/Follow on SocialsEmail:Help@trans2performance.com Subscribe to the People Performance Podcast - Spotify, Apple, Youtube. Visit our website and social media channels:

They've reached the top of the corporate ladder. They've got the corner office, the fancy title, and the seemingly endless stream of accolades. But for many CEOs and other C-suite executives, there's a hidden challenge: the coachability paradox. The higher you climb, the less open you may be to feedback and guidance. This paradox can be a major obstacle to growth, both for individual leaders and for the organisations they lead.

But the episode doesn't just focus on the negative aspects of complacency. James and Spencer offer practical strategies for overcoming complacency and transforming it into a driving force for success. They emphasise the importance of continuous learning, embracing challenges, and cultivating a growth mindset.
Throughout the conversation, James and Spencer share real-world examples of how individuals and organisations have successfully turned complacency into a catalyst for positive change. They showcase the transformative power of self-awareness, adaptability, and a willingness to step outside one's comfort zone.
Whether you're an individual seeking to elevate your career or an organisational leader looking to foster a more dynamic and innovative workplace culture, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable strategies for overcoming complacency and achieving remarkable success.00:00 Opening Chat

James Cooper and Scott Morrison discuss the concept of social styles. They explain the four different social styles: driver, expressive, analytical, and amiable. They also discuss the benefits of understanding your own social style and the social styles of others. Finally, they share some tips for working better with people of different social styles.
The concept of social styles was first developed by David Merrill and Roger Reid in the 1960s. They identified two dimensions of social behavior: assertiveness and responsiveness. Assertiveness is the extent to which someone is comfortable taking charge and making decisions, while responsiveness is the extent to which someone is comfortable interacting with others and sharing their feelings.
Merrill and Reid identified four social styles based on these two dimensions:
- Driver: Drivers are assertive and low in responsiveness. They are task-oriented and results-driven.
- Expressive: Expressives are high in assertiveness and high in responsiveness. They are enthusiastic and creative.
- Analytical: Analyticals are low in assertiveness and low in responsiveness. They are detail-oriented and logical.
- Amiable: Amiables are high in responsiveness and low in assertiveness. They are people-oriented and supportive.
The different ways that social styles are measured
There are a number of different ways to measure social styles. One common way is to take a social styles assessment. These assessments typically ask questions about your communication style, your decision-making style, and your work style.
Another way to measure social styles is to observe someone's behavior. Pay attention to how they interact with others, how they make decisions, and how they approach tasks.
The challenges of working with people of different social styles
When people have different social styles, it can sometimes be challenging to work together. For example, a driver might clash with an amiable because the driver is more task-oriented and the amiable is more people-oriented.
Here are some of the challenges of working with people of different social styles:
- Communication problems: People with different social styles may have different communication styles. For example, a driver might be direct and to the point, while an amiable might be more indirect and subtle.
- Decision-making problems: People with different social styles may have different decision-making styles. For example, a driver might make decisions quickly and decisively, while an analytical might take more time to gather information and weigh all the options.
- Conflict resolution problems: People with different social styles may have different conflict resolution styles. For example, a driver might try to resolve conflict head-on, while an amiable might try to smooth things over.
Understanding your own social style can help you to:
- Communicate more effectively with others
- Make better decisions
- Resolve conflict more effectively
- Build stronger relationships
- Maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses
Here are some tips for working better with people of different social styles:
- Be aware of your own social style and the social styles of others.
- Be flexible and willing to adapt your style to the situation.
- Communicate openly and honestly.
- Be respectful of others' opinions and feelings.
- Be willing to compromise.
