Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the 3rd of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today.  In this episode we speak to the power and impact of intentional communication and influence.   In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in leading with influence. To be a stand out, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.  Intentional communication creates influence. Fergus tells us, “the most interesting people are the ones who are the most interested.” Listening is the very first communication skill. This has you fully planted in the moment, so you are able to understand what is really needed and where you can be of greatest value. Practice self awareness. Understanding your presence and how your demeanor influences is a key part of  what allows you to have greater success and lasting impact.  Find ways to assist your team to excel. This creates an environment of higher performance, and greater success that is sustainable.  RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: Intentional Communication Leadership Brief Episode #1 of the Next Level Leader podcast series  Episode #2 of the Next Level Leader podcast series www.fergusconnolly.com https://www.ted.com/talks/fergus_connolly_leadership_vulnerability_and_sheep_dogs BOOKS -  '59 Lessons: Working with the World's Greatest Coaches, Athletes, & Special Forces' by Fergus Connolly - 'Game Changer - The Art of Sports Science' by Fergus Connolly Guest Bio: Dr. Fergus Connolly is one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance.  He has coached CEO's, professional athletes, head coaches, elite special forces units, integrating holistic best-practice in organizations such as Google, Verizon, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Liverpool Football club, Welsh Rugby Union, University of Michigan Football and many other NBA, MLB, NHL teams and elite military units.  His 2019 Tedx Talk "Leadership, Vulnerability, and Sheepdogs" explored the value of Authenticity in High Performance.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach. We return to our series today with the intent of helping you to realize your leadership potential. We highlight the very real correlation between self-reflection and success, and the impact that addressing your limiting beliefs has on reaching your full potential. In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in creating space for self-reflection. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's behavior. Intentionally setting roadblocks is imperative in leadership. Rather than relying on external factors for success, it forces one to be more mindful and self accountable. The transformation that takes place when you practice self-awareness. Creating space for self-awareness and reflection will help one to better understand how we react and respond in every interaction. Any and all success begins within. Fergus tells us that this is one of the most critical pieces in reaching your full potential. What's the role you played as a child? If you don't make peace with your natural inclinations when tensions arise, you miss the opportunity to learn, adjust, and grow.  RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: First episode of the Leadership Series: https://belindapruyne.com/episode70 www.fergusconnolly.com https://www.ted.com/talks/fergus_connolly_leadership_vulnerability_and_sheep_dogs BOOKS -  '59 Lessons: Working with the World's Greatest Coaches, Athletes, & Special Forces'  https://amzn.to/3WwcIZi - 'Game Changer - The Art of Sports Science' https://amzn.to/3q9E5My  Guest Bio: Dr. Fergus Connolly is one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance.  He has coached CEO's, professional athletes, head coaches, elite special forces units, integrating holistic best-practice in organizations such as Google, Verizon, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Liverpool Football club, Welsh Rugby Union, University of Michigan Football and many other NBA, MLB, NHL teams and elite military units.  His 2019 TEDx Talk "Leadership, Vulnerability, and Sheepdogs" explored the value of Authenticity in High Performance.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, (one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance) and I launch a new series titled “Next Level Leader,”  where we focus on, elevating your leadership in a meaningful, impactful, and sustainable way. All to assist you in advancing to the next level on your leadership journey. Highlighting the very real correlation between self awareness and success, and the impact that your personal leadership style offers. In today's episode, we discuss: The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. (mic drop) Making increased self-awareness the foundation that all future success stands on. The transformation takes place when you dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, curiosity opens doors to your brilliance and expands opportunities! There's not just one way to lead. Fergus tells us, “So many different leaders lead wonderfully in so many different ways.” What you do naturally is of great value. Rather than discounting what comes easiest to you, understand the importance and impact it offers. There is more value in what you do naturally than you think! Ongoing development is imperative in leadership. When you further develop areas and improve, you become a more resilient leader over time.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with with one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance, Fergus Connolly, Elite Performance Coach. He shares his story, how he helps top CEO's, Elite athletes, and Coaches (think, NBA, MLB, NFL…) around leadership, authenticity, and high performance. In today's episode, we discuss: To achieve elite levels of success you have to drop kick the advice of “Stay in Your Lane” to the curb. There is great power in asking questions and encouraging curiosity in regard to feeding your drive and finding solutions outside of your comfort zone..  Ask why, why, why in an attempt to understand the deeper meaning in every interaction. What we can do to be an elite performer in our own rite, and to refine what we do exceptionally well as we grow.  The transformation that takes place when you have the courage to ask yourself who you want to be and where you want to go.

Fergus Connolly has led an extraordinary career coaching some of the world's elite - in business, in sport and in special forces. His clients have been his best teachers. His excellent book, 58 Lessons, is crammed with insights from the real world of top performers exploring their rarified view of the world.  "I don't fear the man who has learned 10,000 kicks; I fear the man who has practiced the same kick 10,000 times" - Bruce Lee A key lesson is these people never forget the need to keep practicing their foundational skills whilst also extending their range. Slow is smooth; smooth is fast - a lesson from special forces, martial arts, music schools like Suzuki. They do the ordinary, extraordinarily well. We discuss mindset, psychopathy and genius, talent and graft, determination and motivation, conditioning and intuition.

What does "reverse-engineering sport" mean? The term seems to have infiltrated the world of sport performance, but how do we come to a consensus on what it means to truly prepare athletes for sport? In this episode, UMass Assistant Director of Sport Performance, Joel Reinhardt walks us through a variety of topics consisting of his definitions of reverse-engineering sport, areas where we fall short in our pursuit, time distributed to specific motor-skills for certain sports, how their performance staff manipulates stress using Fergus Connolly's Four Co-Actives (Physical, Psychological, Technical, Tactical), and most importantly using quantitative and qualitative means to transition athletes through return-to-play scenarios. This one is packed with information for anyone who is looking to gain a better understanding of what a holistic approach to sport performance looks and feels like.

In Episode 012, I had the pleasure of meeting up once again with Fergus Connolly to discuss his thoughts on education and learning in the field of sport performance and, quite honestly, any field in modern times. We discuss the traits of great leaders and mentors, and the importance of communication and critical thinking. But having good teachers is not enough. A reduction in opportunities for social interaction in educational settings has also been a problem for young people in the last few years, with students having less one-on-one opportunities with teachers and mentors. When teachers have an opportunity to spend quality time with students and apprentices, more than just information will be passed on and consumed. Within organizations, there is also a need to improve social interactions amongst practitioners to enhance their overall synergy as a performance and medical team. Sometimes these organizations need a professional consultant external to their team to come in and facilitate better communication and improved efficiency internally, taking advantage of the expertise already present within an organization. And, finally, organizing your own teaching materials into a presentation or a course forces you to really rethink your approach and examine your philosophy in a critical manner. In a way, it is an internal knowledge audit that all of us should do on a regular basis.Dr. Fergus Connolly is one of the world's leading experts in team sport and human performance. His highly acclaimed book Game Changer is the first blueprint for coaches to present a holistic philosophy for winning in all team sports. Fergus is the only coach to have worked full time in every major league around the world. He helps teams win at the highest level with the integrated application of best practices in all areas of performance. Fergus has served as Director of Elite Performance for the San Francisco 49ers, Sports Science Director with the Welsh Rugby Union, and Performance Director for University of Michigan Football. He has guided coaches, support staff and players in the NBA, Australian Rules Football and international cricket. Fergus has also trained world boxing champions and advises elite military units and companies across the globe.You can find out more information on Fergus Connolly via the following links:Website:https://fergusconnolly.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Fergus_ConnollyFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/fergus.connolly.50Hansen PREP Talks podcast is currently available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/hansen-prep-talksApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hansen-prep-talks/id1546480493?uo=4Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4O8UUEFBL8gZhRADzQLdELGoogle Podcasts - https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDcyMDcxNC9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkYou can reach and follow Derek M.

On this episode I interview with Phil White, co-author of several brilliant books including Unplugged with Andy Galpin & Brian McKenzie, Game Changer with Fergus Connolly, 17 hour fast with Dr Frank Merritt - challenging some of our assumptions. Background Phil was a guest on the show in Series 1 (episode 5) and we pick up where we left off last time; talking about technology and social media and the impact that it's having on our mental health. Having taken a 30 day sabbatical from all social media as an experiment whilst working alongside Kenny Kane, Phil has found it hard to pick up social media again and re-adjust to having that back as part of his life. During the 30 day period he found himself challenging some assumptions and questioning the value and purpose of posting stuff on social media at all. Discovery One of the things that Phil has been able to rediscover is the art of what he calls; long form conversation. Conversation whereby you are looking the other person in the eye, gauging response and observing body language as well. Ask yourself; what is it taking you away from? This is beautifully highlighted and illustrated by the 'Device free dinner' Campaign in which Will Ferrell is the star. What Phil keeps seeing and coming back to is 'long form'. Magazines that he writes for have shifted their focus from short articles or hacks to now wanting more journal type articles. He says; One of the reasons that podcasts like this are so popular and some of those in the US are massively popular like Tim Ferris and Joe Rogan is that people love them. They love them because they take the place of conversation. Final take-away Take a daily walk. 20-30 minutes ideally in nature.

Today we sit down with Dr. Fergus Connolly - who is one of the leading figures in the human optimization and human performance field. He is the only coach to have full-time roles in every major professional sport around the world as well as spreading his knowledge to other fields having worked with the military and multiple businesses. In today's episode, we look at the trait similarities between successful sporting and corporate athletes. We look at the importance of effective communication and mistakes commonly made. We look at the importance of controlling stress, how to reframe the way we think of failure, and much much more! See you on the other side.

On this episode I interview Fergus Connolly, author of Game Changer. In his own words; Fergus owes everything to failure and making mistakes. Where it began: He moved back from the US and took up playing Gaelic football in his teens (which is quite late to take up the sport). Because he wasn't as good, he studied what other successful people were doing. He was always striving to get better and working with the best that he had available to him. During our conversation, Fergus refers to what he does for a living as an interest, a hobby, a passion. A passion that he admits to being fortunate enough to get paid for doing. You only have to hear him talk about using all of his free time and holiday time to go and visit coaches to understand how obsessively driven and dedicated he has been in his life to date. Sharing ideas: Learning from others, Fergus has taken every opportunity to learn and found other coaches to be very welcoming along the way. This includes working with a number of different teams in a number of different sports. These include; Wales Rugby Union, Munster Rugby Football Club, The New York Knicks, Cleveland Browns, Warrington Wolves Rugby League, San Francisco 49ers and Cricket Australia. In Game Changer: The Art of Sports Science, Fergus Connolly shows how to improve performance with evidence-based analysis and athlete-focused training. Through his unprecedented experiences with teams in professional football, basketball, rugby, soccer, Aussie Rules, and Gaelic football, as well as with elite military units, Connolly has discovered how to break down the common elements in all sports to their basic components so that each moment of any game can be better analysed, whether you're a player or a coach. ​ Some wise words of wisdom from a humble Fergus; "I refuse to believe I've done anything extraordinary; I don't believe I'm any better than anybody else."

Phil White is the co-author of Waterman 2.0 (with past guest Dr. Kelly Starrett), The 17 Hour Fast (with Dr. Frank Merritt), Unplugged (with Dr. Andy Galpin and Brian Mackenzie) and Game Changer (with Fergus Connolly). He also writes for many of the leading brands in the human performance space and tells stories for http://www.intrinsicway.com/ (Intrinsic), which helps military veterans, firefighters, police officers, and athletes overcome PTSD, TBIs, and concussions.   But before Phil started telling stories, he wanted to be an athlete. He moved across the pond from the UK, and then a ways further into the Midwest, to join a college soccer team in Kansas City and pursue this childhood dream.   Phil was an English major, though, and the more he wrote, the more his talent started to shine. After graduating, he had his first opportunity to co-write a book. This was a pivotal point in his writing career. He continued to write more and more and more – and before he knew it, he was a writer.   In this process, Phil learned an important lesson, and it's one he shares with all of us in this episode: “Honor your god-given talent, in whatever you got.”   But Phil isn't just a talented wordsmith, he's also a talented collaborator; really, a master communicator by any measure. He's exceptionally good at helping to draw ideas out of others, which he says is driven by an insatiable curiosity, and then translating those ideas into the written word.   Phil turns these ideas into art through his talent, but at the foundation of it all is a willingness to build relationships – which I think is probably the least taught, but most important, skill that anyone and everyone should have.   And here's the thing: you don't even need to rely on your God-given talents to form relationships! You'll be able to create something incredible if you combine the two, but anyone and everyone CAN build healthy and strong relationships, in any area of their life, if they're willing to put in the time and effort.   --     Resources: Learn more at www.philwhitebooks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philwhitebooks/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PhilWhiteBooks   --   We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full-service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.

The book, The 17hr Fast: Rest Your Eating to Revitalize Your Life (US) and (UK) which he co-authored with Dr Frank Merritt has an inspiring story even though it has a tragic end with Frank's friend dying of cancer but getting him to promise that he would share the benefits of fasting that Jason (Frank's friend) put into practice to stave off cancer for 6 years. No worse on performance, even though Phil thought it would be worse and significantly worse at that. "A 16,17,18hr fast can actually boost Growth hormone and testosterone in men."

Dr Fergus Connolly is one of the world's foremost human performance thought leaders and influencers, and has applied performance science with leading sports, military, and business teams. He is the only coach to have full times roles in every major sport, including soccer (Liverpool, Bolton Wanderers), professional and college football (San Francisco 49s and University of Michigan) and rugby (Welsh national team). Fergus' experience can make your team Game Changers. In the episode we talk about why he got into sports performance, who were his role models growing up, why it is important to use critical thinking when using social media, the initial ideas behind his book Game Changer: The Art of Sports Science (US), (UK), (Canada) and finally the practical application of performance science. In Game Changer: The Art of Sports Science, he shows how to improve performance with evidence-based analysis and athlete-focused training. Through his unprecedented experiences with teams in professional football, basketball, rugby, soccer, Aussie Rules, and Gaelic football, as well as with elite military units, he has discovered how to break down the common elements in all sports to their basic components so that each moment of any game can be better analyzed, whether you're a player or a coach. “He despises the term Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) but instead it should be called Long Term Personal Development" (LTPD) 4 things an athlete need: Know who they are? (An identity), have a purpose, someone to love or love them and something to believe in.
