Pete is adamant that there are no shortcuts to sustained success. His powerful insights prove that ‘tales from the touchline’ translate to other arenas, with compelling results. He maintains that ‘excellence’ is a nebulous destination and continuous improvement is the Holy Grail of sustained high performance. A man who speaks from the heart using real life insights, Pete believes that culture must support strategy and leaders create leaders, not followers.During the conversation, Pete shares his insights into all things high performance and EQ, specifically with regards to how he worked with players to develop their mental and emotional qualities, while guiding them to a number of competition successes and ultimately, first-team football. He shares some principles of high performance that can be applied across both elite sport and business domains, as well as practical strategies that leaders can use today to get the best out of themselves and their followers.
