Podcast appearances and mentions of adam fraser

In this riveting episode of my chat with Dr. Adam Fraser, we delve into the intricacies of performance, resilience, and the human condition. Adam is a researcher and fellow corporate speaker (and one of the best) and a bloody good, down-to-earth bloke. Through humour and profound insights, we cover a multitude of topics, including the coping mechanisms for stress, the intersection of physiology and psychology, and the challenges faced by modern-day educators. What You'll Learn: The Power of Reflection and Reset Dr. Fraser introduces the concept of the "third space," a transitional gap that is crucial for shifting mindsets between different aspects of life. This framework—reflect, rest, reset—helps individuals leave behind previous stressors and prepare mentally for what's next. Understanding Mental Challenges Explore the metaphor of "Kevin," a character that encapsulates negative inner dialogue. This concept, derived from ACT therapy principles, helps in recognising and rationalising self-doubts and unhelpful thought patterns. The Importance of Consistency Discover the consistent habits of elite performers, such as those in special forces and top athletes, and how these disciplines can be translated into everyday life for sustained success. Navigating Work and Home Life The conversation touches upon the impact of increased remote work on personal boundaries, emphasising practical strategies to create clear separations between professional and personal spaces. Key Takeaways: Reflection, Rest, Reset: Implementing a structured approach to transitioning between activities can enhance emotional well-being and productivity. Managing Inner Dialogue: Understanding and accepting negative thoughts without allowing them to dictate actions can lead to more constructive behaviours. Consistency Is Key: Continuous small efforts in the right direction are more impactful than sporadic grand gestures. Creating Boundaries in Remote Work: Being intentional about starting and stopping work can help maintain a work-life balance, crucial in current times. Resources: Book on "Kevin": Dr. Fraser is working on a book detailing the "Kevin" concept, which promises to offer practical insights into managing inner dialogue. Secondary Trauma in Educators: New research by Dr. Fraser highlights the growing phenomenon of secondary trauma experienced by educators, offering solutions to mitigate its effects. Dr. Adam Fraser's resources and books are an enriching source of knowledge for anyone looking to enhance their personal and professional life.

Some people can cook, some people can create amazing works of art, others can hug with the appropriate amount of pressure for the right length of time. My super power is the ability to make the complex, simple and engaging. I take the latest science and translate it so that people can immediately apply it to their own situation.”  ~ Dr. Adam Fraser.

[15:26] - As decision makers in our clinical world or in our business world, how do we find peace with the possibility of something occurring … versus the probability of something occurring?

We often think happiness will be found in the completion of a goal. We often think happiness will be found in ease and comfort. My guest says real joy is found in the journey rather than the destination, and that if difficulty and discomfort are part of that journey, that's all the better.Dr. Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher and the author of Strive: Embracing the Gift of Struggle. Today on the show, we talk about what Adam calls the "strive state," where we have to grow and be courageous to tackle a meaningful challenge, and why this state is the source of the greatest fulfillment in life. We discuss why we often resist embracing the strive state and what happens when we don't have to struggle in life. We also talk about what successful strivers do differently.Resources Related to the PodcastAdam's previous appearance on the AoM Podcast: Episode #909 — Master Microtransitions to Improve the Happiness, Success, and Flow of Your LifeSunday Firesides: Pursuit as HappinessSunday Firesides: No Bad FeelingsAoM Podcast #708: Overcome the Comfort CrisisAoM Podcast #108: The Upside of Your Dark SideAoM Podcast #868: Escape the Happiness Trap"Pass the Parcel" episode of BlueyConnect With Adam FraserAdam's websiteAdam on LinkedInAdam on IGAdam on FB

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we look after the wellbeing and mental health of our school leaders. The Flourish Movement provides a space where leaders can take off their professional armour, sit with their colleagues, be supported and have real conversations to share their experiences and learn from each other. Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher with a PhD in Biomedical Science. Along with Principal Bob Willetts, he will be introducing you to some of the amazing school principals that are teaching our kids and leading our schools all over Australia. In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the remarkable story of Melissa Proctor, an incredible school leader who revolutionised the culture of her school by instilling clarity of purpose in every aspect of its operation.  We know no one has ever gotten into education for the money and fame, they got into education for the passion of teaching, working with children and playing a crucial role in preparing our future generations for the years ahead. But all too often, and this is normal across all professions, we get caught up in the stress that comes with the job, and we start moving away from what drove us in the first place.   Join us as we take an in-depth look at the 5 step strategy Melissa employed to ensure everyone in the school understood and embraced their roles in achieving a shared vision and how she keeps it at the very centre of everything the school does, and every decision made.  A special thank you to the NSW Primary Principals' Association for sponsoring this project.

In this episode, we sit down with David O'Connor, a highly experienced school principal with a remarkable ability to keep a balance between his demanding job and his family life, while empowering his staff to do the same. Join us as David shares his insights, strategies, and personal experiences on how he managed to achieve a successful work-family balance while leading a school community.

Throughout each day, all of us make little shifts in our roles and responsibilities; we take off one hat and put on another. Sometimes these shifts are physical, as when we commute from home to the office. Other times, the shifts are mental, as when we finish working on an administrative task and start working on a creative one.My guest calls these little shifts “microtransitions” and says that mastering them is a significant key in living a happy, fulfilled, and successful life. His name is Dr. Adam Fraser and he's a peak performance researcher and the author of The Third Space. As Adam explains, in each microtransition, there are three spaces: the first space which is the task, role, or place you're leaving behind, the second space, which is the task, role, or place you're transitioning to, and the third space which is the in-between transition itself. To make an ideal microtransition, you break that third space into three phases, and Adam walks us through how to execute each one so you can show up as your best self in the second space. We talk about how to make microtransitions between different work roles, and spend a lot of our conversation on how to improve the microtransiton between work and home — even if you work from home — so you can arrive ready to engage with your partner or family.Resources Related to the PodcastSunday Firesides: Your Routine Needs Rites of PassageAoM article on how to use a “Homeric bath” as a transitional “homecoming” ritualAoM article on how Alexander Graham Bell used “locational prompts” to be more productiveAoM article on doing different kinds of work in different placesSunday Firesides: Give Them the CreamConnect With Adam FraserAdam's Website

Today I have the great pleasure of sharing a recent conversation that I had with the brilliant Dr Adam Fraser. This is the second time that I have spoken with Adam for the podcast and it was a huge privilege to speak with him again. Here is our first discussion.  For those that are not aware, he is a peak performance researcher who helps people strive to achieve better performance in everything they do. He has worked with elite athletes and sporting teams, special forces soldiers and business leaders.

This week I wanted to share another one of my favourite episodes with you from the archives.  It's a chat I had with Dr Adam Fraser, back in 2020, where we discussed different approaches for calming the voice in your head and performing at your best. Dr Adam is the author of the books Strive and The Third Place which if you haven't got onto yet are well worth a read.I love the way Adam describes how some of his peak performance clients have begun calling their negative inner voice ‘Kevin' (apologies if that's your name BTW) in order to acknowledge their fears and doubts but then set them to one side so that the clients don't kill themselves—literally.He also blows apart the linear model of how we've been taught to think when things are going pear-shaped: Of having a positive mindset first, then experiencing a positive emotion, and only then you'll do better. Dr Adam's research suggests it's much more about a focus on action that's aligned to your values. Rather than trying to fix what's happening inside your head first, essentially find ways of switching to planning mode and determining what the next action should be, which is way more effective.He describes his process for transitioning from work mode to home mode as well so that you don't experience negative spill. Like if we have a stressful day, we tend to take it home, which creates conflict, which creates more stress, which we then take to work the next day. The steps are find a space to be on your own between work and home then:* Reflect (how did I do today? What did I get done? How did I evolve?)* Rest (get calm, go for a walk, read, sit and watch the surf)* Reset (decide how you want to show up when you walk through the door, define your intent).Give it a go, it can can even turn crazy business types into superdads.I hope you take as much from this conversation with Adam as I did.Big hugRichPS. If you could share this with your best friend right now, that would be ace ;-) This is a public episode.

You mother likely told you to drink a lot of fluids when you have a cold or the flu. So, what is the theory there? How does drinking water or juice or anything else fight off an illness? A lot of people think it flushes out your system but that's not the reason. This episode begins with the actual reason why it is a good idea to keep drinking when you are sick – but not too much. https://www.realsimple.com/health/first-aid-health-basics/too-much-water-while-sick-can-be-dangerous Have you ever had a bad day or a difficult encounter with someone and you just can't shake it off? The result can be that you keep thinking about it and that negatively impacts your performance the rest of the day. It happens to all of us I suspect and there is a technique that can really help. Dr. Adam Fraser author of the book The Third Space (https://amzn.to/35BAPub) explains how elite athletes, salespeople and peak performers everywhere don't let a bad experience keep them down and you can do it too.  Here's a little test: Can you sit on the floor and then get up without using your hands? There is good news for those who can and bad news for those who cannot. Listen as I explain why. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2247402/Can-floor-using-hands-If-heading-early-grave.html How do you spot a trend? Where do trends come from? Rohit Bhargava has been trying to predict trends for a decade and has published a book about it each year for the last several years. He uses something called “Non-Obvious Thinking” which he says we should all do to help us spot new opportunities. Rohit joins me to explain how you do it and what the latest trends are.

Adam Fraser reflects on his professional journey from journalist to CEO of a global charitable foundation. This is Leaders and How They Lead, the podcast series that looks at what it means to be a leader in the sports industry. We've been exploring a range of perspectives over the course of this series; going deep with leaders of teams, agencies, governing bodies, venues, and charities – very different types of organisation and very different types of leader. We've been pressing them on what makes them tick; how they think they manage (upwards and downwards); how they handle failure and conflict; how they communicate strategic vision; how they communicate full stop; how they develop people; how they lead to win – whatever ‘win' means where they are. Our guest this week is Adam Fraser who, after 5 years with the company as their Global Development Director, was made CEO of Laureus Sport for Good in 2019. Laureus Sport for Good raises money for and supports more than 275 programmes to change lives across 50 different countries. Created under the patronage of Nelson Mandela with the founding belief that "sport has the power to change the world," the organisation uses the power of sport to end violence, discrimination, and disadvantage.

In his time he has worked with elite athletes and sporting teams, special forces soldiers and business leaders. What is unique about his research is that it focuses on how do people go beyond their potential without the collateral damage that normally comes with elite performance. Often success comes at a price in the following areas: Broken personal relationships Poor physical and mental wellbeing. Strained relationships with colleagues. Lack of fulfilment and connection to meaning and purpose. Adam gives us the tools and the research to avoid this damage, why'll being our best selves.

Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher, professional speaker, author and consultant In this wide-ranging and incredibly personal discussion we talked about:  His response to COVID as a dad, as a leader and as a business owner and why it very nearly broke him.  His favourite bands; The Stones, Earth Wind and Fire and why one of his greatest memories was at an Iron Maiden Concern.   The importance of asking great questions, being driven by data and challenging assumptions.  Why he has fallen in love with working with school principals And, The importance of transitioning well between “spaces” (whether personal or professional).  This conversation with Adam was very special and had a huge impact on me.

The mindset and mental state that we approach each task, activity, conversation or moment with ultimately defines how that situation turns out.

So your boss or HR has emailed you, and in no uncertain terms it’s time to head back into the office.  How do you feel? Elated at the prospect of being near your colleagues or deflated at the prospect of putting on pants with an actual waistband and an hour each way on the train.  Or both? According to Professor Tsedal Neeley from Harvard Business School employers may have a battle on their hands to turn the ship on remote work. And peak performance researcher Dr Adam Fraser explains how rituals around a “third space” can help us make the transition back to the office a little easier. Tsedal’s book, Remote Work Revolution.

This episode of the "EACCNY Brexit Musings" series focuses on a practical guide to preparing for Brexit. With political noise increasing, businesses cannot afford to wait for final certainty on the outcome of the UK/EU negotiations. Their focus must now turn to practical, commercial, no-regret solutions that mitigate negative impacts of change.The COVID-19 pandemic, together with the removal of previously published easements, means that preparing for Brexit is now significantly different than previous Brexit deadlines. Any previous planning assumptions need to be reassessed.Relevant actions must be taken urgently, but what can companies still do in the days that remain? The lead time for implementing many mitigating strategies has passed. Here, Sally Jones, EY's Brexit and Trade Strategy Lead in the UK, will take you through the ten key Brexit domains (goods and customs; supply chain; trade in services; talent; IT systems; legal; regulatory; commercial; Ireland; and tax and finance) and set out some of the operational actions every business that trades in or with the UK needs to take. She is joined by her colleague, Adam Fraser, the Business Development leader for EY's Brexit team in the UK. He works closely with Sally in helping clients to understand and mitigate against the potential impacts across the 10 key Brexit domains.Sally Jones leads EY's Trade Strategy and Brexit team. She is a leading specialist in trade policy from both a global and Brexit (UK/EU) perspective.Prior to joining EY, Sally was Director for International Trade Policy and Global Brexit Insights at a professional services firm. She advised organisations across multiple industries including FTSE 100, Fortune 500, privately owned companies and trade associations.  She also has frequent contact with the UK Government and the EU Commission. Sally holds a BSc in Astronomy and Astrophysics from University College London.

In this episode of Better World Leaders we talk with renown Human Performance Researcher Dr Adam Fraser. This is a vital conversation for leaders at all levels to tune into, covering the true drivers of leadership performance during times of heightened struggle and stress.Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher who helps organisations and individuals push beyond their potential. What is unique about his research is that it focuses on how do people go beyond their potential without the collateral damage that normally comes with elite performance.Dr Adam is sought out by organisational leaders across the world in corporations, governments and education bodies for the combination of his devotion to research originated methodologies and his passionate and highly evocative delivery of practical and actionable approaches to improve behaviour and leadership outcomes.Dr Adam is a successful author of 4 books, in-demand speaker typically delivering over 100 keynotes a year, leader of his own consulting business and collaborator with numerous universities across the world on novel research programs.In this conversation we delve deep into leadership performance in our very current time – how leaders are performing during CoVid, how leaders have evolved and continue to show high levels of resilience and adaptability as we all learn how to work and lead in the pandemic. However, there is much work to do several key areas of leadership performance. Firstly self-care and recovery to avoid burnout. And most importantly, in the area of engaging with our teams on topics many of us find troubling – to ‘sit with discomfort', and what Dr Adam's current research shows it that many leads suck in this domain.He presents two specific approaches to help us both engage meaningfully in these challenging and confronting exchanges with our teams, our partners, children and even ourselves.If you don't listen to anything else related to becoming a great leader through the CoVid crisis, listen to this.Key messages from this episode;- Dr Adam's research shows that levels of resilience and adaptability have improved, but that self-care, recovery and sitting with discomfort need rapid improvement.- That high performers gain and maintain this capability by the way they manage struggle- That in many ways both parenting styles and education approaches have eroded our ability to sit with discomfort.- Many of us have been incorrectly taught that good emotion is good and good for us, and that bad emotion is bad and bad for usGet in touch with Dr Adam via any of these points of contact;https://www.linkedin.com/in/dradamfraser/https://twitter.com/DrAdamFraserhttps://www.facebook.com/DrAdamFraserSpeaker/https://www.instagram.com/dradamfraser/?hl=enAdditional resources mentioned in our conversation.- Dr Adam's August Webinar talks for Educators and Parents click here- Dr Adam's programs click hereYou can also check out Dr Adam's TEDx talk on the 3rd Space hereAs always, great thanks and appreciation to the team who contributed to bringing Better World Leaders to you;To Brendan Ward for production of all audio recordings and composition and performance of original music throughout each episode.To Cooper and the team at RadioHub studios for technical support and creative guidance during the episodes that are recorded face-to-face.

Dr. Adam Fraserhttps://www.dradamfraser.com/Strive: embracing the gift of strugglehttps://www.dradamfraser.com/shop-content/striveThe Third Spacehttps://www.dradamfraser.com/shop-content/the-third-space

We've all heard the phrase ‘it's not about the destination, it's the journey'. What you might not know is that this claim has some real scientific backing! Often we spend so much time focusing on the end goal, that once we finally get there, we realise that true fulfilment lies in the pursuit. We see it all the time in our businesses with retirees, who spend years waiting for retirement, only to realise the challenge of getting there was the most important part. In this episode, we speak to Dr Adam Fraser, who has spent his career studying this very phenomenon. A peak performance researcher, Dr Fraser spends his time researching the psychology of success, using that research to help businesses transform their mindsets and create a growth-centric team environment. We discuss the importance of constant reflection, being present in your work day, how to mentally ‘reset' in challenging situations, and why the ‘happiness movement' may be doing us more harm than good. This episode is all about learning to ‘love the struggle' that comes with pursuing goals, while developing our minds and the minds of our teams. Dr Adam encourages us to be more courageous, introspective and always be pushing ourselves to evolve both personally and within our business.  Resources: To reach out to Dr Adam Fraser, please head to his website. What You'll Learn From This Episode: How to transition through different responsibilities in your day with a clear mind How to calm your mind by being present in the moment How to mentally ‘reset' after a challenging situation Why the pursuit of a goal is more fulfilling than achieving the goal How striving for a goal allows us to be courageous and evolve How to set goals with your team and identify milestones Why regularly reflecting on progress makes us more resilient How to build a more resilient and and cohesive team How the ‘happiness movement' could actually be holding us back Why we should learn to ‘love the struggle' About Our Guest: Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher who helps organisations and individuals push beyond their potential. Adam started out with a bachelor of biomedical science, then moving on to a PhD focusing on the impact of lifestyle on wellbeing and happiness. Adam now spends his time in research, presenting keynotes, and running intervention programs with professionals, focusing on issues such as professional burnout and mental health. Adam has presented at many financial planning conferences and provides great insight into how advice businesses can improve culture and performance.  For more conversations with the thinkers and movers in the world of financial advice, go to Goals-Based Advice Podcast.

On the surface, struggle can seem detrimental to one's wellbeing. However, evidence suggests experiencing and overcoming struggle is critical for human beings to display courage, evolve and feel a sense of purpose. Biomedical scientist and published author Dr Adam Fraser joins host Jerome Doraisamy on this episode of The Wellness Daily Show to unpack the key findings presented in his book Strive, detail how the research that informed the book was executed, and outline why the completion myth is untrue. Adam breaks down the four types of struggle, provides tips for how leaders can best support their team in difficult times, and shares some practical strategies for developing a healthy relationship with struggle.

Ever considered working for a purpose-driven organization? Adam Fraser, Chief Executive of Laureus Sport for Good joins host Brian Clapp on the Work In Sports podcast.Hey everybody, I'm Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInSports.com and this is the Work In Sports podcast…If I say the New York Yankees - you know who that is right? Of course you do…Big Ten Network -- you know them, familiar with their work recognizable brand…Adidas, Under Armour, Puma - sureUS Soccer Federation -- of course.  Have you heard of Laureus? Likely not. And yet, Laureus has made a larger impact on the world through sport, than any of the aforementioned brands we are all so familiar with.Sports is a simple industry. Athletes and events - everything in sports branches off these two pillars. Ticket sales, trainers, coaches, scouts, operations, travel, equipment, apparel -- it all branches off of athletes and/or events.   Laureus is a little different. They use sports as a means to change the world. You hear that phrase “change the world” and it sounds like an ad campaign from a brand trying to make you think, they are more altruistic than they are. They are trying to sell you a message rather than an action.Laureus lives that action. Change the World isn't a banner ad for them, it's a repeatable mission statement, put into action by their everyday. Founded under the Patronage of Nelson Mandela, Laureus Sport for Good uses sport as a powerful and cost-effective tool to help children and young people overcome violence, discrimination, and disadvantage in their lives. Over the past two decades, they have developed a worldwide charitable infrastructure to use the power of sports to end violence, discrimination and disadvantage. It was Nelson Mandela who said, “Sports has the power to change the world.”And while most of us hear those words and agree, but do nothing about it. Laureus is actively working to make it happen. It is my honor to introduce you to this purpose-driven sports organization, who is changing the world through sport. Here is Laureus Sport for Good Chief Executive, Adam Fraser.Questions for Adam Fraser, Laureus Sport for Good Chief Executive1: There is so much I want to talk about in regard to Laureus and all the organization does to improve the lives of people through sports – but I want to dig a little into your background and personal story first.You've gone on quite the journey in your career – the first 5 years of your career after graduating from the University of Leeds, was in journalism. What led you to sports and why was working as a journalist your first career choice?2: It's quite the transition going from reporting on the World Cup and Formula One to the foundation/advocacy/fundraising side of the industry. Where were you and what was happening that led you to this dramatic shift not only in career but overall purpose?3: You became the executive director for Sports Industry Group and Communication Director for Benchmark – their tagline is “creating and investing in purpose-driven businesses” so this was your transition move in a way, starting you down this path of sport for good.What was that initial feeling like being involved with a company with a different set of goals than others you had worked for prior?4: Going from journalism to the Public Relations/Communication Director side seems like a pretty natural transition, what were the biggest challenges transitioning to this role?5: After Benchmark you transitioned to your current organization – Laureus Sport for Good. I want to dig into your roles within the organization, but first, let's look through a broader lens.Nelson Mandela, famously said “sport has the power to change the world” – I've read this quote a thousand times. I had never listened to him actually say it until yesterday, and it gave me a whole different feeling.What does it mean for someone in your position, as Chief Executive of this organization,
