How to Overcome Setbacks and Win in Life with Greg Searle Can you imagine what it takes to win the Olympics, and how it feels to accomplish such a feat? For one gold medalist, it wasn't that different from how he felt when he won other small races. However, it taught him life-long lessons that have shaped who he is today. Joining us for this episode is Greg Searle, who won a gold medal in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Greg talks about his career and family life and shows how he stays humble and down-to-earth despite having achieved massive success. He also shares the secrets behind how we can overcome our setbacks to win in life. To know how you too can feel happy and satisfied with your own life and accomplishments, tune in to this episode! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: How to get motivated from knowing where you started. How changing your mindset can lead you to be satisfied with what you have. Find out Greg's top secret to success. Resources Book Greg and hear his story in person through his website. Episode Highlights [2:41] Greg's Rowing Career and His Life's Proudest Moments Greg's proudest moment in his life is his rowing career. The highlight of his career is winning an Olympic gold medal in 1992. His school history teacher, who won a gold medal in 1984, inspired him to get into rowing. We often set goals, make sacrifices and put ourselves through pain to achieve them. But for Greg, it wasn't sacrificing; it was a choice, and he enjoyed the work involved in training. Winning the Olympics didn't feel different from crossing the line at other rowing competitions — it was just the next big challenge. [8:01] Never Forget Why You Started You need to understand your motivation. A lot of leaders in organizations forget why they started and what gives them personal validation. As leaders get more seniority, they go further and further away from doing the thing that they are good at. You must remind yourself why you've gotten where you are in the first place. To remember that, you could connect to people who are still out there doing the jobs they used to do. [9:51] If Not Now, When? Garry Herbert asked Greg and his brother ‘If not now, when?' when they were two lengths behind at the Olympics.  Hearing those words was enough to take them forward, from being behind, to leading the race by a few feet. Listen to the full episode to learn about Greg's life after winning a gold medal in the Olympics! He was aware of the difference it makes to be successful and to fail. It's about coming to terms with living with that and realize that winning doesn't dictate who you are. He looks up to people who have not won gold medals but are still incredible team players. [19:04] Watching His Family  Greg and his wife put importance on creating codes of conduct and recognizing the significant things. His second highlight is having the opportunity to be around his family and seeing them mature into the people they are. He's aware of the pressure on his children given what he's achieved, but he doesn't want to put that on them. What he wants is for them to celebrate the small successes they have. Being happy with the effort you put in is what's important — not whether you win or lose. He doesn't place much weight on what they learn in university. It's about how they're around other people, making friends in organizations, working hard, and being helpful. [25:52] Having a Good Mindset  The third thing Greg is most proud of is his mindset in life, which allows him to choose how to see situations. He's proud of his ability to be happy with what he has and not be disappointed in what he doesn't. He attributes his mindset to how his hardworking parents brought him up. Growing up, he remembers being grateful for the material things they gave him. Set tiny goals — you'll hit them because they're so small — to have something you can feel good about. Then, challenge yourself to do the same thing again. Occasionally, you'd want to stop and admire the view, which is the time you're focused on what's in front of you. And sometimes, you have to make giant leaps and climb steeper steps. Having confidence allows you to have a better chance of accomplishing things and getting back up. Listen to the full podcast to know how Greg applied his mindset in teaching his children how to drive! [35:48] How Greg Deals with the Virtual Word  Currently, Greg coaches people and shares his story with larger audiences. Working in this virtual world, you should engage with a lot of people in a manageable way. Be adaptable to change to be able to do your best in this new situation. Choose to find the best way to work in the environment we've got. [38:14] Greg's Three Favourite Olympic Moments  First is Daley Thompson winning and whistling to the national anthem. Second is his friend being there to celebrate despite not having been on the boat. The third is meeting Kate Middleton. [40:10] Greg's Secret to Success It's choosing what to think or choosing to measure what you think success is. The only thing in your power is the view you take of yourself and the things that have happened to you. It's in our gift to choose how we see the situations we're in. 5 Powerful Quotes [6:42] ‘I think as a sportsperson, you have to just keep looking for the next challenge, and you just keep stepping up and stepping up'. [9:55] ‘If not now, when? If not you, who'? [22:13] ‘I want to help my kids to understand that whether they win or don't win, whether they pass or fail, shouldn't dictate whether they're going to be happy or not. They should be happy with the effort they put in; they should be happy with challenging themselves and dealing with setbacks'. [30:43] ‘Small successes give you more confidence and build on each other'. [34:41] ‘Actually, the best coaches aren't necessarily experts — they create a safe environment, they ask the questions, they find other resources when they need them'. About Greg Greg Searle is an Olympic gold medalist and leadership coach. He won gold in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and bronze in the 2012 London games. On top of that, Greg received the MBE at only 20 years old. Currently, he uses his experience to help people understand how to deal with change and adversity, be resilient, and change their behaviour for the better.

On this episode I share my interview with Greg Searle, Bronze medal winner in London 2012 twenty years after winning a Gold medal in Barcelona 1992 and we talk about the lessons learned through enthusiasm and wisdom. On work-life balance Greg says; I've managed to get myself at the age of 46 where I've been passionate about sporting goals, passionate about business goals and through experience I've got perspective. I've got a reasonable balance in my life. Background At 20 he won an Olympic Gold medal and 4 years later he won an Olympic Bronze medal. By the time the next Olympics came round Greg was newly married, with his wife expecting their first child. A home owner with work responsibilities as well; Greg's focus and energy towards rowing had shifted as result. Because of these competing things got in the way and he finished in fourth position at his 3rd Olympics. Similarly at 28 he believed he was capable of better and probably at the peak of his physical powers. Peak performance Greg is the founder of the company 2040 inspiring peak performance in teams and individuals. This is achieved through sharing the behaviours required to bring the 'enthusiasm' he had at 20 coupled to the 'wisdom' he had at 40. He's also the Chief Innovation Officer for Keys Business a concierge company. London 2012; I wanted to comeback and wanted to put Sydney 2000 right. This was an opportunity to do something I was really proud of. We agreed (my wife and I) that this would be an adventure that we'd share for the next 3 years. Greg had a lot of interest from others at the first trials. He overcame the first hurdles and then got closer and closer to being invited into the team. His reception was largely warm. Over the course of time it didn't become much of a factor. He was 'old Greg' and the others were a bit younger! Winning the bronze in 2012 Far easier to be comfortable with a bronze medal at 40 than to win a bronze aged 24 or indeed a 4th place at 28. Still initial disappointment. They (the 8) went out to win. It was in Greg's words; something to be proud of. Over the course of the next week, they celebrated and commiserated in different ways. Final take-away Keeping life in perspective and enjoying the present. Enjoy the moment as best as you can.

In a coxes special, Tim speak to Henry Fieldman, Matilda Horn and Erin Kennedy about how lockdown is affecting the training of those who don't physically row. Meanwhile, triple Olympic medalist Greg Searle joins for a chat.

Greg Searle MBE is a national treasure. Its mindblowing to think of the training and dedication it takes to win and olympic gold. At the age of twenty I was in nightclubs until the early hours and in no state to focus like that. Now imagine fighting off twenty year olds at the age of forty to gain a place in a boat representing your country at the olympics. It beggars belief. I'm pleased to tell you that Greg is a genuinely lovely guy. One you get past his good looks and rock hard 6' 4" physique his charm really wins you over. He's a natural athlete but training and hard work created the olympian not just genetics. I hope I get to run with him again.Check out his book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/If-Not-Now-W...

“I'm totally okay with what I've done. I wonder if being that okay about it, my thirst had been quenched…maybe because of that, I was never to win again, because I was okay with winning once.”In this episode, I speak with Olympic gold medalist Greg Searle MBE. We chat about his extraordinary journey in winning a gold medal at the Barcelona 1992 Olympics and then coming back to win a bronze medal in London 2012, twenty years later. His time of set-backs and self-discovery throughout this 20-year period allowed him to grow and to learn valuable lessons in being part of a team and valuing other people’s strengths. Greg’s dreams of being an Olympic champion came from being a young lad, determined to be the best at what he did and willing to throw everything into getting himself there. His story shows that if we want to achieve something, we have to work hard at it and that nothing will ever be given to us without putting the time in.I could write a list as long as my arm of quotes from this conversation that really made me stop and think, but my favourite was: “If not now, when? If not you, who?” It’s a stark reminder that we can make all the excuses under the sun about why we can’t or shouldn’t do something, but in many circumstances, the only thing holding us back is ourselves.With his unique experience, Greg now works as an inspirational speaker (I’ve seen him talk and can highly recommend him!) and works with businesses and individuals to help get the best out of each other.

On this episode I share my interview with Garry Turner, Founder of the Listening Organisation  and the newly created 'Wellbeingchat' community, focused on courage and vulnerability. On work-life balance Garry says; Until about 18 months ago I would have believed that it was statement. I'm finding progressively that we try and keep them separate, when they're not. I see the term being out of date now. I prefer the term life-work quality. Background Garry talks very passionately and openly about mental health and his own challenges with this. His personal view is we've learned to be the man. Marketing plays a big part in this and even our partners at times encourage us to 'man up'. He's an international sales manager on the one hand and on the other hand he has this deep rooted passionate to humanise things. As Garry puts it; his formal job, versus the passion with the Learning Organisation. However, he was looking to leave his work organisation about 4-5 years ago. He had the realisation that he wasn't growing. As a result of this he became really curious about what was going on around him. In Garry's words; These conversations allow you to reflect. He believed he could make a deep seated belief that he could make a change in his own organisation. He believes more of these conversations can happen if people are prepared to have courage and show vulnerability. The Listening Organisation has evolved organically. It's centred around key pillars; purpose and values, trust, curiosity, listening and inclusion. The goal is to create 'safe spaces' where organisations can come together and get present.   People are also victims It's easy to blame someone else. If we can just get present enough and understand where we are choosing to spend our time, it will allow us all to create so much more. We are dealing transaction-ally with one another. By just being a little bit vulnerable to say we don't know, could be the difference between having transacting and transforming conversations. In terms of work, as a minimum we should be able to enjoy what we do. To love what you do is a golden chalice; the aspiration. Final take-away You're already a 10/10; feel that and internalise that. Self care is not selfish; you can only be best for others if you're first for yourself.
