Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew may

Most leaders try to restore a struggling performer's confidence with a pep talk. It almost never works. When Jason McCartney had written himself off, a coach did something far more deliberate, and it pulled him back from the edge of walking away. The approach is simple, repeatable, and the opposite of what most people reach for. You can find Jason at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-mccartney-oam-b10a39217/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Host: Nadia Cameron, Publisher | Editor – Marketing This year’s CMO Awards again set out to recognise marketing teams driving strategic growth for their organisations with our Best Growth Initiative of the Year Award, presented by Publicis Groupe. Our 2026 winner? A driving test from the Suncorp team that set out to change behaviour and instill safer driving practices across Australian consumers, thereby combatting a 42 per cent rise in motor claim costs and 22 per cent lift in national fatalities. The AAMI Driving test not only achieved this ambition – so far, it’s reduced annual insurance claims by $4.2 million, 9 per cent above target – it also lifted brand consideration and engagement for the iconic red brand across customers and non-customers alike. And while it wasn’t the objective, it’s now expected to bring in $1.9m in premium revenue generated. “Too often, growth is approached as a marketing or sales problem, focused on immediate volume, reach or conversion. The AAMI Driving Test reinforced that real growth really came from solving a meaningful business problem,” says AAMI head of brand and content, Rapthi Thanapalasingam. “By focusing on prevention first, we unlocked growth outcomes as a byproduct, including stronger engagement, brand consideration, and that premium revenue. “Campaigns end, but capabilities compound. The biggest value came from us building an asset using our telematics and data capability that can continue creating value long after the campaign is over.” In a similar vein, this year’s Highly Commended growth initiative, Wesfarmers Health’s ‘Anything Menopause’ program, developed in response to a clear and urgent consumer, commercial and societal gap. Over 3 million Australian women experience menopause, with 85 per cent reporting symptoms. Despite this prevalence, stigma and confusion persist. Market analysis identified a $667 million menopause category, with at least one-third of that effectively unserved. Priceline’s response has been an end-to-end menopause care platform. Grounded in education and empowerment, the key was firstly knowledge uplift across pharmacists, says GM of marketing, Corrina Brazel. Across 3500 frontline staff, Wesfarmers has already seen a 35 per cent jump in confidence in staff discussing menopause with customers as a result. The commercial gains also ensued, including a 63 per cent increase in dispensary sales, 6 per cent increase in penetration with the core target demographic of women between 45 to 65 years of age, and 13-point increase with standard Priceline shoppers. “Given the topic at hand around menopause, if we’d just been chasing purely a transactional play, that could have gone very badly for us from a brand and reputation point of view. Because the real opportunity would have been completely missed,” comments Brazel. For Brazel, it’s also creating new confidence inside the marketing team. “What ‘Anything Menopause’ has done for the marketing team is built a real level of capability and awareness and strength of conviction that I don't know they previously necessarily thought they had,” she says. “It's built a bit of a muscle we're now going to continue to use as we see what other platforms we may be able to get out there to drive more growth.” For Growth Initiative judge and former V2 Foods chief growth officer, Andrew May, the two examples stand out because they don’t talk to standard campaign metrics and come from a position of behaviour change. “It was really about where do they show broader business alignment, better capability, stronger customer experience, margins or reduced costs,” he says. “The growth isn't just coming from marketing alone. Marketing is, and always has been, a growth engine for strong businesses. Seeing where we can impact other areas is critical.” Tune into this latest CMO Awards podcast as we unpack the nature of unlocking and pursuing these AAMI and Wesfarmers Health growth opportunities, and importantly, how it’s paying off.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I know this." Andrew May hears it from some of the smartest people in the country, right before they admit they are doing none of it. The gap between what we know and what we do is not a willpower problem or a time problem, and treating it like one is exactly why nothing changes. He breaks down the difference between self-awareness and self-regulation, and the small, almost embarrassing first step that actually closes it.

Women achieve the same cardiovascular health benefits as men at roughly half the exercise volume. Yet the standard exercise guidelines prescribe identical amounts for both. Dr Paul Batman argues this is one example of a deeper problem: a fitness model built on incomplete data, applied to populations it was never designed to reach. Only 16 percent of people follow the conventional guidelines. The question is not how to motivate the other 84 percent to do more. It is whether we are asking them to do the right thing at all.You can find Dr Paul at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-paul-batman-9092a052/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Nic White played 77 test matches for the Wallabies. For most of that career, he felt like he was one bad game away from being dropped, one coach away from being told he was not in the plans. He was told exactly that in 2015. So he left. What he did next, and why he came back, says a great deal about what actually drives elite performance over the long haul. This is a conversation about the difference between proving people wrong and knowing your own worth, and why both matter more than most leaders admit.

Jim Carrey wrote a cheque to himself for ten million dollars when he was a broke, unknown actor. Sara Blakely visualised a billion-dollar business and an Oprah appearance before either was remotely plausible. Easy to dismiss as coincidence. Harder to dismiss once you understand what an fMRI shows when a person runs a scenario in their mind. Andrew May breaks down the neuroscience behind why mental rehearsal works, and why leaders who ignore it are leaving a genuine performance edge on the table.

Since the 1700s we have described this condition in the language of character. Lazy. Undisciplined. Careless. As recently as 2023, an Australian parliamentary inquiry heard the same words still follow people through their lives. Lindy Hadges explains why a condition that sits in the brain attracts shame that an identical shortfall in the pancreas never would, and what happens the moment someone stops believing the story they were told about themselves.

The first thing Jason McCartney asked for wasn't a doctor. It was a whiteboard. Badly injured and facing months in hospital, he didn't ask "why me?!". He set a goal, picked a deadline, and started working backwards, the same way he had for every season of his AFL career. What he learned about handling the moments that flatten everyone else is something most leaders never have to discover until it's forced on them.You can find Jason at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-mccartney-oam-b10a39217/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

I was recently on the Performance Intelligence podcast with the fabulous Andrew May, so this episode is not so much on original TYP, but rather a co-share - a conversation I had with Andrew a week or two back. To be honest, there may be some repetition from previous podcasts you’ve heard from me (can’t really remember), but it’s always interesting being the interviewee not the interviewer.

Most teams spend their lives trying to reach the top. Very few have to answer the question of what happens when they get there.The Penrith Panthers have won 4 consecutive NRL premierships. In an era designed for parity, they've achieved something almost unheard of in modern sport. Which raises a fascinating challenge.How do you keep people motivated when they've already achieved the goal?How do you maintain standards when success becomes normal? How do you avoid complacency when everyone around you is telling you how good you are?Dan Haesler, Mental Skills Coach for the Penrith Panthers, shares what it takes to sustain excellence after success.But this isn't really about rugby league. It's about leadership, culture, psychology, and human behaviour. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, building a career or pursuing your own goals, eventually you'll face the same challenge: how do you keep growing when you've already won?You can find Dan at his Website:https://danhaesler.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danhaesler/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danhaesler/?originalSubdomain=auBuy a copy of Dan's book: https://www.actofleadership.com/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

You know what you should be doing. More sleep. Better recovery. Less time running on empty. You have known it for years. So has every burned-out doctor, executive, and elite athlete Andrew May has ever worked with. The problem is not knowledge. It is the gap between knowing and doing. And most people are misdiagnosing the reason for that gap entirely.Andrew May is a Mental Skills and Leadership Coach who has worked with ASX executives, elite sporting teams (Wallabies), and the Australian Defence Force. Andrew gets honest about his own near-burnout at 40, what it took to turn it around, and why even the most informed, high-functioning people are still getting recovery wrong.From there, it gets practical. What strategic recovery actually looks like inside a high-demand schedule. Why most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. The exercise prescription that builds real performance capacity without flogging yourself. And how to finally close the gap between what you know and what you do.This one is for doctors. It is also for anyone who has been running hard for too long and suspects the wheels are starting to wobble.00:00 Burnout rates in medicine are above 80%, yet doctors know more about the body than almost anyone. Why the gap?05:14 Andrew's own near-burnout at 40: marriage breakdown, external validation, and the mate from Dubbo who cracked it open.10:44 Most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. Andrew explains the difference.13:04 What strategic recovery looks like in practice, including how Andrew applies it with the Australian Defence Force.20:25 Why physical activity is not recovery, and the exercise prescription that actually builds performance capacity.26:02 Sleep deprivation degrades judgment, memory and decision-making. Andrew challenges the eight-hour myth.28:47 A simple plate-based nutrition framework, intermittent fasting for men over 40, and why women need a different approach.34:14 How to close the gap between knowing and doing: self-reflection, barrier mapping, and building real accountability.40:10 Key messages, close, and why how you show up changes how everyone around you performs.This episode was originally published on the Healthed podcast with Dr David Lim.

This is a question I've been asking myself almost daily since I had a significant lightbulb moment (of self-awareness, possibility, potential) when I was a hefty teenager, who got un-hefty with almost no help, support, resources or knowledge. I was recently on the Andrew May podcast (Performance Intelligence) sitting in the guest chair and we chatted about this and many correlated topics. I loved it and here it is on TYP as a co-share (as the kids call it). Enjoy.Performance Intelligence PodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people start the week reacting. Meetings fill the calendar. Emails dictate the day. And before long, the most important things get squeezed out. But what if your week was designed differently?Mental Skills and Leadership Coach Andrew May and PQ Operations Lead, Angela Poon, share a simple concept they call the 5 Big Rocks: identifying the five priorities that truly matter and placing them into the week first.Once those are locked in, everything else fits around them.It's a simple shift, but a powerful one. Instead of reacting to the week, you design it. This Bite Size explores why starting with your most important commitments can transform productivity, reduce overwhelm, and create a week that actually reflects what matters most.www.performanceintelligence.com  Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Being a head coach can be one of the most exposed leadership roles in sport. Every decision is scrutinised. Every result is judged. And the pressure rarely switches off.That's why the relationship between a head coach and the people supporting performance is so critical. Mental performance coach Aaron Walsh and performance strategist Andrew May explain why their first step with any team is aligning with the head coach.Clear expectations. Honest conversations. A shared understanding of what the mental skills program can actually deliver.Without that alignment, even the best program can struggle to land.This Bite Size reveals what those early conversations look like and why respecting the pressure head coaches carry is essential to building trust, influence, and lasting performance change.You can find Aaron at his LinkedIn: https://rb.gy/xoz5e Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Most people don't have a time problem. They have an energy problem.You wake up tired, grab coffee, check your phone, push through meetings, and crash by the end of the day wondering where your focus went. Sound familiar?Mental Skills and Leadership Coach Andrew May has spent decades working with elite athletes, CEOs and world-class teams. His biggest insight: the people who perform best aren't the ones who push harder: they're the ones who manage energy better.From the simple morning reset that recalibrates your body clock, to the overlooked recovery rhythms that athletes use to stay sharp under pressure, Andrew explains how small daily decisions compound into long-term performance, health and longevity.If you want more clarity, sustained energy, and the ability to perform at your best for decades - not just today - this will challenge the way you structure your day.In this episode Andrew talks about:1:15 His experience and background working with high performing teams and the life shakeup that put him on his current path.6:00 Why your brain is defaulting to bad far outweighing good and why traditional education doesn't always prepare you for life.9:30 Rolling through the decades and staying healthy into your later years.16:30 Blue zones around the world where lifespan is higher than average and why managing your energy is the key to high performance.20:45 Starting your day with the circadian reset for a natural energy boost and getting cold and hot temperature exposure.28:15 How Andrew is helping the Wallabies rugby team manage their energy.35:15 Pulsing energy throughout the day and the physiology of stress.44:00 The 3x3x3 downregulation format and ending on a quote from the great Dr. Seuss.

Most leaders know how to ramp up for performance. Far fewer know how to switch off. Operating at full speed all day without deliberately down-regulating keeps the brain and body in a prolonged stress state - impairing decision-making, recovery and next-day performance.Andrew May (Mental Skills Coach to the Wallabies) explains why the ability to shift gears is a critical leadership skill, particularly for those operating under constant cognitive load.He also shares a simple breathing technique that can lower your heart rate and begin calming the nervous system in under 30 seconds.Want to hear to the full episode?

You don't drift into longevity. You build it...or you erode it. Most people think living longer is about genetics or luck. The data says otherwise. Where you live matters. But what you do daily matters more.Mental Skills Coach, Andrew May, and Longevity Rsearcher Dr Tom Buckley break down what actually determines how long and how well you live.From blue zones to biological age, from the pivotal impact of your 40s to the supplements Dr Tom genuinely backs, this is a sharp look at the habits that add years or quietly take them away. If you care about staying sharp, capable and competitive for decades to come — this one matters.1:30 What is longevity and premature mortality?6:15 The idea of blue zones around the world and how genetics can impact your lifespan.17:00 Why what you do in your 40s can have such a massive impact on the rest of your life and how you're still able to turn it around even if you were unhealthy beforehand.22:30 Some of the long term effects drugs can have on your brain and methods to add years back on to your life.29:00 How the 6 MatchFit levers fit into longevity and which supplements will help your long term health.35:30 The main supplements Dr Tom gets his clients to take.40:00 What is biological age vs chronological age, and why is having a low biological age so important?45:00 How what you eat and drink can add or take years off your life.51:00 Why doing moderate exercise more often is better than always doing high intensity and getting better sleep is a balance between quality and quantity of sleep.55:30 Where Dr Tom sees the science of longevity going in the future.Read the study here: https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)66280-X/fulltextListen to the podcast about saunas: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/25-the-science-of-sauna-and-deliberate-heat-exposure-and-associated-benefits-dr-tom-buckleyYou can find Dr Tom at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-buckley-06a76b98/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Most people believe peak performance comes from pushing harder, longer, and faster. The science says the opposite.Your brain was never designed for nonstop focus. The highest performers don't grind, they reset.Mental Skills Coach, Andrew May (Wallabies, Sea Eagles, Tim Tszyu), breaks down why productivity works in waves, not willpower, and why mental resets are fundamentally different from mindfulness. It explores how short, strategic pauses protect performance rather than interrupt it, and how even 30 seconds can change the state of your nervous system.From controlling an amygdala hijack to using breath, music, and vision to reset your brain under pressure, this is a reframe of rest as a performance skill,  not a weakness.This isn't about doing it perfectly. It's about learning how to reset before everything unravels.1:30 The science of mental resets, how they differ from mindfulness, and why we work best in waves4:15 Why resets protect performance (and the power of micro-recovery)7:45 The 30-second reset: breath, music, and state change11:20 Visual resets: covering the eyes and panoramic vision15:30 Amygdala hijack — and how to regain control18:30 Common reset mistakes and why progress beats perfection Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Some days you're sharp, calm, and decisive. Other days you're flat, reactive, and forcing it.The difference isn't discipline or motivation. It's energy, recovery, and awareness.This is about noticing the early warning signs, resetting fast, and learning how high performers stay composed under pressure — even on full days.4:00 A-side vs B-side performance — what no one sees, and the hidden strain high performers carry 9:10 Why opening up matters, what high performance really means, and how to reset when you drift 11:55 Energy as a competitive advantage — sales, stress, and recovery 15:30 What the Olympic creed gets wrong, and why athletes recover better than professionals 18:45 Reading your body in real time, circadian resets, and what a “good day” actually looks like 25:50 Micro-recovery in minutes — 3x3x3 down-regulation and simple breathing tools 39:45 Focus, mindset, and why most people are mentally overloaded 44:00 The science of mindfulness and how to use it without slowing your day down 50:10 How world champion Matt Formston stays composed under pressure (and a Dr Seuss truth) Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

What are the challenges when it comes to objectively measuring high sensitivity in people? In this week's episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast , I speak with researcher and lecturer Andrew May from Queen Mary University of London. Andrew has worked closely with Michael Pluess on studies exploring sensory processing sensitivity, genetics, and the measurement of sensitivity across different populations. His work explores the question, What does it mean to be highly sensitive in the modern world? https://youtu.be/rf1U1wxck_w The Challenge of Measuring Sensitivity The Highly Sensitive Person Scale, originally developed by Elaine and Arthur Aron in 1997, has shaped the study of sensitivity for nearly three decades. It opened an important new field of research. Yet, like all self-report tools, it relies on honest reporting of how people see themselves. And as Andrew points out, psychological measurement is never fully objective. It reflects cultural ideas about what counts as “normal,” “ideal,” or “acceptable.” Someone raised to view sensitivity as weakness might understate their responses. Meanwhile, another who finds identity or comfort in the HSP label might amplify them. In both cases, results are shaped as much by social context as by biology. This is why researchers continue refining how sensitivity is assessed. Gender expectations add another layer. Men often report lower sensitivity due to norms surrounding masculinity. Likewise, cultural attitudes influence which traits, such as empathy, gentleness, and conscientiousness, are valued and how safe people feel to acknowledge them. This reveals how psychology and culture continually shape one another. What we measure as “inner traits” also carries the imprint of the social stories we live. Sensitivity and the Limits of Objectivity As new scales and tools emerge, supported by neuroimaging, physiological studies, and genetics, it's worth asking what kind of knowledge we're actually seeking. If sensitivity arises through both biology and relationship, how much can we truly understand it outside the contexts that shape and reflect it? Sensitivity is reflected not only in biological patterns such as brain activity and cortisol levels, but also in how we interpret and respond to life. The Social Context of Self-Reporting As research on sensitivity evolves, one essential question remains: how do we speak about it without creating a hierarchy? The aim is not to prove that highly sensitive people are deeper, kinder, or more moral than others. Instead, we aim to understand how different nervous systems and psychological dispositions engage with the world. Sensitivity is not a fixed identity. It's a way of perceiving and participating in life. It reminds us that human variation is not a flaw to be corrected. Instead, it’s a source of creativity, empathy, and adaptability for individuals and communities. Related Considerations When I share about high sensitivity, people sometimes respond that I'm describing traits linked to autism or ADHD. Andrew helped clarify why this confusion arises and how Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) differs. High Sensitivity and Autism High sensitivity and autism can coexist, and some traits overlap, especially under stress. Both may involve strong reactions to sensory input. However, they differ in specific areas such as theory of mind (the ability to intuit others' perspectives). This tends to remain intact in highly sensitive individuals and may present differently for those on the autism spectrum. High Sensitivity and ADHD ADHD and sensitivity can also overlap. People with ADHD may act impulsively or struggle to sustain focus. In contrast, highly sensitive individuals are more likely to pause before responding. Recognising this distinction helps shape appropriate support for each profile, as well as those with both traits. High Sensitivity and Giftedness “Giftedness” is a loosely defined concept that is sometimes mistaken for sensitivity. While highly sensitive people may thrive creatively or intellectually in supportive environments, giftedness refers to broader capacities. Sensitivity alone cannot account for these capacities. Keeping these distinctions clear prevents unnecessary pressure and misunderstanding. Ultimately, exploring sensitivity invites us to hold complexity rather than resolve it. It asks us to look beyond labels and measurements, to see how biology, experience, and culture weave together in the fabric of being human. When we approach sensitivity not as a category to define but as a way of relating to ourselves, to others, and to the world, we make space for a richer, more honest understanding. This understanding of what it means to feel deeply and live attentively is invaluable. More About Andrew Andrew is a lecturer in medical genetics at Kingston University London, and a former UK Research and Innovation-funded postdoctoral researcher based at the University of Surrey, under the mentorship of Professor Michael Pluess. He is also affiliated with the Sydney Brenner Institute for Molecular Bioscience and the Neuropsychology Research Laboratory at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Andrew has a Master of Science (Medicine) in human genetics and a PhD in research psychology. His research interests include individual differences in environmental sensitivity, personality, mental health, minority stress, and early childhood development, examined from both psychological and genetic perspectives. In true highly sensitive person style, Andrew enjoys reading, board games, meditation, yoga, piano, spending time with animals (cats!), and other quiet pursuits.

It's the week of the co-share, here at TYP. First it was the Andrew May experience, and now we open the Tiff Cook door, as Roll With The Punches and TYP collide in a symphony of information, education, philosophy, psychology, and story-telling, mixed with a liberal smattering of conversational bulls**t. Of course. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The other day I sat down (virtually) with the brilliant Andrew May on his ‘Performance Intelligence’ podcast and because it was interesting, insightful and fun, we decided to do a ‘co-share’ - on Channel Craig and Channel Andrew - so the world wouldn’t miss the gold.

Andrew May breaks down one of the most overlooked yet critical factors of modern leadership: Leadership Capacity.Forget the outdated grind culture - today's best leaders know it's not just about pushing harder, it's about expanding your internal capacity so you can lead with energy, clarity, and resilience — even under pressure.Andrew shares where the concept of leadership capacity comes from, how he's seen it transform high performers, and why building a bigger “capacity vessel” is the antidote to burnout and fatigue. Plus, real-world examples from coaching leaders who've learned how to stretch their limits sustainably.Taken from full episode #133.View the Inverted U model here: https://performanceintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Dynamic-Energy-Model-02-scaled.jpg Listen to the episode with Matt Comyn: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/94-matt-comyn Listen to the episode with Seibs: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/128-anthony-seibold Listen to the episode with Ken Robertson: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/106-ken-robertson Listen to the episode with Shelley Roberts: https://tinyurl.com/ydahb4zc Listen to the episode with Sam Monaghan: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/111-sam-monaghan Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

4 keynotes in a 24-hour period that included over 2,000 attendees, four client industries, across three states. That kind of sprint could leave most people feeling flat, fractured, and f'ing broken. At Performance Intelligence we up-skill elite athletes, sporting teams and people employed in high-stakes environments to perform in key moments, when it matters most – and last week was Andrew's turn to put these science-based tools (and a few decades of experience) into practice. "We don't rise to the occasion. We fall to our level of preparation."Shannon Frost (Podcast Producer) locked Andrew in the studio to try and understand how the process he followed could apply to her, and to our wider audience. In this episode Shannon and Andrew discuss:00:55 Building up to doing 4 presentations in 24 hours, an in-depth look at the 4 different keynotes and locations, and the 5 performance levers Andrew pulled to deliver at a high standard.7:05 This isn't a normal occurrence for Andrew and "there's periods during the year where you need to rise to the challenge" and the metrics (wearable tech) he uses to measure stress and recovery, especially during hectic periods.11:35 Does Andrew exercise because he enjoys it, or is he addicted to it? And does walking help increase physiological capacity?12:30 This 24 hour window was part of a bigger 4-week intensive block of presentations.16:55 Tapping into purpose to push through challenging/testing times, Andrew catching up with himself in the exhaustion aftermath, and a simple way to tap into your personal purpose.21:25 Andrew didn't find his purpose and clear identity until his 40s, the conversation Andrew and Shannon had that led to her studying counselling, and how she feels about the big shift in her life.27:40 How Andrew's support team helped him in the 4 presentations, and how the wizard set up for a virtual studio in a new space.31:05 The most important part of Andrew's support team: his partner Toni, the fighter pilot analogy of working as part of a team and how people without a support team can still use some digital tools to help them be more productive.34:00 How Andrew down regulated after the highs of each presentation, being strategic and recovering in waves, simple ways to micro dose recovery.40:15 The muscle memory that builds up after years of presenting, and still getting nervous after all of these years.46:40 Winging it can lead to being hit or miss, transitioning straight in to a 5th birthday party after the 24 hour block, and what Shannon can took away from the discussion.Listen to the podcast on HRV: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/65-the-science-of-heart-rate-variability-hrv-and-teaching-the-german-police-force-breathwork-and-how-to-regulate-stress-dr-marc-jarczok-with-dr-tom-buckley Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/Learn more about Andrew and Performance Intelligence: https://performanceintelligence.com/Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://performanceintelligence.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.

In this Bite Size from episode #118 Andrew delivers a live keynote and shares one of the main revelations and missing links he has had from his 20 years working with people's bodies and minds: energy. Andrew also talks about how many of us are missing the recovery our bodies and minds need to be able to perform at our peak when we need to and how important quality recovery is to creating that energy.   Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/Learn more about Andrew and Performance Intelligence: https://performanceintelligence.com/Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://performanceintelligence.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.

In this Bite Size from episode #117 Andrew and Angela walk us through the way they create authentic connections by being on purpose and how that has helped them win clients and create long term positive relationships.  Andrew and Ange also explain the idea of narrowing focus in their business using an example of a GP vs a specialist, with the GP being open to all comers and having many patients and a specialist having a shorter patient list but people are willing to pay them a lot more money for their services.  Looking to streamline your financial goals?

In this discussion Angela Poon and Andrew May give people a clear understanding of what leadership capacity is, and more importantly – how to train it!Leadership capability is the skills, knowledge and attributes to effectively lead others.

Andrew May is a world-class Speaker, High-Performance Coach, Podcaster and Educator, having worked with elite sporting teams, corporations and individuals all over the world. Other than that, he's a compete dud. As is often the way with Andrew, this episode was a combination of Psychology, Motivation, Story-Telling and Edutainment (it's a thing). Oh, and he also did his best to Psycho-analyse me mid-show, and I may or may not have gotten mildly uncomfortable.performanceintelligence.comRear View Mirror DownloadSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I live in the land of teenagers and it is incredible. Somehow they get a bad rap, but they are creative, deep thinkers fighting for their lives in this strange world. Today I'm joined by Andrew May, deep thinker, organizational whizz, writer and former high school teacher. This inspiring conversation will remind you of how we need to show up for the young adults in our lives–with humility and honesty. Stay tuned to the end for Andrew's beautiful poem called The Gloaming. https://substack.com/@andrewmayComing Up: How To Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner is described as a handbook for peace. Why? Because to create peace we need to establish it within ourselves. Over the next year, I'll offer a monthly gathering to dive deep into its chapters and practice the exercises in a small community of learners. The meetings will happen one Saturday a month for 1.5 hours. I'll send preparatory work your way, and then we will come together to explore. If interested, please email or DM me and pass it along to your friends. I can't wait for you to join me!
