WE ARE BACK!In this episode Martin Johnson interviews Professor Damian Hughes live at the T2 Leadership RetreatDamian is a bestselling author, expert in sport, organisational development, and change psychology. As a visiting professor at Manchester Metropolitan University and co-host of the 'High Performance Podcast', he shares his insights from working with elite sports teams like England Rugby League and Scotland Rugby Union, and discusses the themes from his books, including 'High Performance' and 'How to Change Your Life'. This episode covers topics such as the process of achieving high performance, the common mistakes people make when trying to improve their lives, and the psychological principles that drive success and change.
Essential Habits is a new weekly series from High Performance. Hosted by Damian Hughes, each episode breaks down powerful habits from world-class performers and thinkers - so you can apply them in your own life.Here's Damian's take on the first episode, featuring Jo Malone: "Sometimes life moves so fast we forget we even can stop. That's something Jo reminded me of in this episode, the quiet power of pausing and taking stock before charging ahead.Jo's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. With around 6,000 thoughts flying through our minds each day, many of them negative, it's not just about thinking less, but choosing what's worth holding on to. Together, we explore how stopping to organise our thoughts and truly understand our story can turn moments of crisis into turning points.I also unpack a fascinating piece of neuroscience, a study with a less-than-glamorous title, but a powerful message, showing how our brains naturally prioritise rewarding memories. If you've ever wanted to hold on to what matters and let the rest slip away… this one's for you."Here is a list of studies referenced in the episode:The Persistence and Transience of Memory.

CAUTION: This episode contains swearing.What's the collective noun for a group of wellbeing podcasters? It's got to be a community, hasn't it! I usually release a Bitesize episode every Friday, but today I have something a little different to share with you.

You are going to be hearing from Fearne Cotton from Happy Place, Damiam Hughes and Jake Humphrey from High Performance, Elizabeth Day from How To Fail and, of course, myself.

In this episode, we answer a series of questions that were put to us in closed envelopes. We cover topics such as why we began podcasting, what we hope our shows achieve, memorable guests, why we love the experience so much, what we are grateful for and so much more. One of the things I truly love about the world of podcasting is its supportive community and I have certainly made some awesome connections and friendships through podcasting over the years. A huge thank you to the High Performance team for putting this episode together and, of course, a huge thank you to my podcasting peers: Fearne, Elizabeth, Damian and Jake for all making time in their schedule to make this happen.We thoroughly enjoyed getting together and recording this episode - in some ways, it felt a bit like an office Christmas party.

This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.In this episode, I discuss the power of journaling in our work and personal lives.Chapter Summary:Ensuring that your 'stress bucket' doesn't overflow can help prevent physical and mental health challenges.Journaling is a powerful reflection tool, helping you manage and organise the vast amounts of information going through your mind every day.Innovation requires constant iteration and inevitable failure before you ultimately achieve breakthroughs.Design thinking takes a 'human-centric' view of problems to create realistic, actionable solutions.Reflection is a vital part of the creative and learning process.High-performance requires the energy to push yourself mentally and physically, so it's critical to counterbalance the exertion with downtime.Passion can lead to burnout, so lean on your community's support and incorporate downtime in your schedule.Book Ollie to speak with your teamOllie's LinkedInFuture Work/Life NewsletterWork/Life Flywheel: Harness the work revolution and reimagine your career without fear, is out now.

In this episode, which is part 14 of David´s CALM leadership series he dives deeper into how to create a culture of accountability in your business. He walks you through using Damian Hughes BARCA process so that your team understands what success looks like and their role in achieving that success. As well as helping them to behave in a way that creates the right culture. David also covers keystone habits, culture architecture and turning herd mentality to your advantage. KEY TAKEAWAYS Provide your team with a clear sense of why, of what they are there to achieve. The problem they are solving for the client and how their role fits into doing that. People need to be shown what success looks like. Team members need to understand that it is their behavior that creates the culture they are working in. Choose 3 behaviors that you want your team to cultivate and don't tolerate anyone not behaving in those ways. Preparing for change includes anticipating what the road locks will be and identifying how you will get past them. David explains the right way to set up a 360-feedback system. If your leaders are exhibiting the behaviors and demonstrating success, others will follow. 80% of what people achieve is down to how other team members perform. BEST MOMENTS‘Change is always hardest in the middle.' ‘You need to be able to measure the habits that are going to get you through some of these challenging times.' ‘Great leaders are always learning.'

As human beings – what do we set out to achieve every day? From a human psychology perspective we know that all humans want to have a productive day in a relative sense, need to have a feeling of achievement, attainment or a feeling of being appreciated. As we have said on a regular basis on the podcast – what needs to happen for a person to go home at the end of the day and say “I had a good day”. Throughout our series – we have touched on this topic many times, but there is still much to learn. Many of us operate within a team structure. We discussed team dynamics with the wonderful Paul Gustard and how he aligns, connects and drives the performance of his teams. Damian Hughes very kindly shared his views on how a performance culture is created. But we want to dig deeper into something we believe to be absolutely fundamental and a question that persists – how is the overall climate created and sustained by leaders, but also by the team itself to ensure goals are met, standards are maintained and all parties feel they are operating in a equitable and inclusive environment? The word culture has been front and centre over the last 3 years especially in a business context and culture is integral to achieving on a day to day basis. Climate however is different – climate describes what it “feels like” to be in that team, in that group/situation and how is that climate conducive to people achieving their goals? Its our view that building and sustaining standards requires a considerable effort, building a culture of continuous growth requires a commitment from everyone – so the question persists – how is that done, how is that achieved? We will be exploring all this today with Maggie and tapping into her extensive experiences.

In this episode, David is joined by Professor Damian Hughes, who is an international speaker, a bestselling author, and co-host of the High-Performance podcast, which he does with Jake Humphrey. Damien explains what living with purpose means to him and why it is an important part of the process of becoming your best. He and David also discuss the benefits of humility, being your true self, playing to your strengths, and being prepared to stretch yourself. Providing examples to help you to grow into someone who performs to a high level in all areas of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is good to stretch yourself by spending time outside of your comfort zone. But to avoid burnout most people need to take the occasional break. Having a sense of purpose is at the heart of longevity. Everyone has different strengths, talents, and skills. Identify yours, play to them, and nurture them. Always do the best that you can with the resources that you have available to you, at that moment. Stop competing against others. Instead, compete with yourself to become better than you were yesterday. Integrity matters, be genuine and consistent. Be humble enough to listen to and learn from others. Ask for feedback. Taking that first small step creates massive momentum. BEST MOMENTS ‘That sense of purpose gives you its own energy supply, it gives you a sense of direction,' ‘Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes footage to somebody else's highlight reels.' ‘Integrity matters, as a species we do not follow hypocrites.' ‘Everybody's clever in different ways. Some people are physically gifted, some are verbally gifted, some are socially gifted' EPISODE RESOURCESWebsite - https://liquidthinker.com/High-Performance book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Performance-Lessons-Best-Becoming/dp/B091FY8LDMThe Blue Zones by Dan Buettner - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Blue-Zones-Lessons-Healthiest/dp/1426223471Ikigai by Hector Garcia - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ikigai-Japanese-secret-long-happy/dp/178633089XLet it Go by Dame Stephanie Shirley CH - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Let-Go-Extraordinary-Entrepreneur-Philanthropist/dp/0241395496/Very Much Alive by Paul Jameson - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Very-Much-Alive-terminal-adventure/dp/B0BCSB1KBM´ ABOUT THE SHOWPeople with purpose make a difference.

At the start there was list. Damian Hughes was on the list, I thought it was a long shot, but definitely worth a shot. I have read his books, followed him on social media, listened to his podcasts & observed him from afar and absolutely love his work.After a false start (because I can't read a timetable), I managed to find a very small window of time in his incredibly busy calendar to record a pod. I absolutely loved it. Damian Hughes functions on a level I will continue aspire to. I hope you enjoy listening.

Professor Damian Hughes specialises in creating high performing cultures within sports teams, businesses and organisations, is a best selling author and is the cohost of the very successful High Performing Podcast with Jake Humphrey. Damian is now also the first returning guest to the infinite pie thinking podcast. In our original conversation we explored a number of fascinating topics that relate to the mindset and mental side of performance improvement, so I was excited to get Damian back on, to dive deeper into areas like 'commitment culture', what it means to 'do the work in the shadows', how to develop 'feedback loops' and why they are important, and to actually understand how he defines 'high performance'. However, I was also keen to explore what he has learned about himself since we last spoke. There really is a lot to take from this one so I hope you enjoy listening to Damian Hughes share lessons from high performance.If you would like to reach out and let Damian know what you have taken from this conversation you can find him on instagram @liquidthinker or via his website liquidthinker.com.If you are working on your own goals and performance improvement and want to explore how our coaching support, workshops and seminars could help, then you can always reach out to us at infinitepie.co.uk, find us on LinkedIn, or instagram @infinitepiethinking (and if you share this episode use #infinitepiethinking as I would love to join the conversation).

Being able to empower others, achieve great results and inspire high performance is the goal - and our guest has some truly invaluable insights to show us how to achieve that.

Kim Morgan has a mantra for everything she does. It's about the learning space, and its power as a vehicle for change.That space is one she grew up in, with parents she describes as very psychologically aware, and Kim went on to train as a humanistic person-centred therapist before finding herself in need of "something grittier".Via Freudian psychotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming, she discovered her gift for developing training and experienced a revelation when she realised that not everyone grew up, like her, constantly absorbing new perspectives and reframing situations.Barefoot Coaching is now world renowned, but Kim established it – with its name inspired by a cherished poem – at a time when there was very little training for coaches available in the UK.Nearly 15 years later, a tragedy struck that altered Kim's perspective on her life and her work. But remarkably, she returned to deepen her practice and grow even further the many joyous success stories of more than 4,000 Barefoot alumni.In this episode, we talk about:The story of how Kim built Barefoot into one of the most successful coaching organisations in the UKHow training as a coach mirrors the process of coachingThe way adults learn, and how it differs from childrenThe conditions in which transformational moments occurWhat happens when training is both fierce and compassionateHow to honour endings in our coaching engagements, and how to make them matterKim also speaks movingly about the devastation of loss, the perspective shift that came with her grief, and the support she found in the least expected places.For more information about Kim, visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdkimmorgan/For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/communityThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~5: Barry Ennis on the Coach's Journey https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-9-barry-ennis-follow-the-fire ~16: “The learning space is the optimal development atmosphere and vehicle for change in which meanings can be played with and understood. An area of psychological experience located between wishes and reality, between one's inner and outer worlds. It allows for certainties about self and others to loosen in order to allow for playful reflection and creativity to enable shifts in self-identity.” - DW Winnicott, Playing and reality. https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?hl=en&publication_year=1971&author=+Winnicott%2C+D.W.&title=Playing+and+Reality~12: Wheel of Anything https://elisabethgoodman.wordpress.com/tag/wheel-of-anything/~19: Jack Mezirow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Mezirow ~22: Humanistic person-centred therapy https://www.simplypsychology.org/client-centred-therapy.html ~25: Neuro-Linguistic Programming https://www.goodtherapy.org/learn-about-therapy/types/neuro-linguistic-programming ~25: Solution-focused brief therapy https://solutionfocused.net/what-is-solution-focused-therapy/ ~25: Robert Holden's Happiness Project https://www.robertholden.com/the-happiness-project/ ~25: Positive psychology coaching https://positivepsychology.com/positive-psychology-life-coaching/ ~30: I'd Pick More Daisies http://www.devpsy.org/nonscience/daisies.html ~31: Coach U https://www.coachu.com/home/ ~35: Sir John Whitmore https://www.performanceconsultants.com/sir-john-whitmore ~35: Joseph O'Connor https://internationalcoachingcommunity.com/joseph-oconnor/ ~40: Nancy Kline https://www.timetothink.com/nancy-kline/ ~40: Jamie Smart https://www.jamiesmart.com/ ~40: Damian Hughes http://liquidthinker.com/ ~40: Julie Starr https://starrcoaching.co.uk/ ~40: John Perry https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-perry-71490867/?originalSubdomain=uk ~45: Kim Morgan Coaching Cards for Every Day https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coaching-Cards-Every-Day-Barefoot/dp/0992898943 ~1.05: The Coach's Casebook https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25017473-the-coach-s-casebook ~1.14: Cruse bereavement services https://www.cruse.org.uk/ ~1.14: The grief recovery method https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/ ~1.14: The Good Grief Project https://thegoodgriefproject.co.uk/ ~1.15: Rio Ferdinand, Being Mum and Dad https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08kzclp ~1.17: West Midlands Coaching Pool https://www.wmemployers.org.uk/what-we-do/coaching/west-midlands-coaching-and-mentoring-pool/ ~1.28: Joel Monk https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coaching ~1.43: Coaching Skills for Family Life https://www.barefootcoaching.co.uk/news-blog/coaching-skills-family-life ~1.45: PG Cert in Coaching Supervision https://www.barefootcoaching.co.uk/courses/pg-cert-coaching-supervision
A real treat of an episode this week as I interview someone whose books I've devoured and whose podcast I can't get enough of. He is somone who is exceptionally well placed to talk about mojo in sport. Professor Damian Hughes is a sports psychologist and visiting professor at Manchester Metropolitan University. An expert on high-performance sporting cultures, Damian's research has been praised by the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Muhammad Ali, Sir Roger Bannister, Tiger Woods, Jonny Wilkinson and Sir Alex Ferguson. He is an incredible observer of human performance through his rare ability to get very close to both sports people and sports organisations. He is able to do this by creating incredible levels of trust, based on both is values and trade-mark behaviours. Both of which we talk about extensively. Hence his ability to see success up close and the clues that success leaves behind. I highly recommend you check out The High Performance Podcast where Damian is the ying to Jake Humphrey's yang. It's a great example of how collaboration and team work can create amazing things. @highperformance I also recommend Damian's book The Barcelona Way and we talk about where the current FC Barcelona team is, mojo-wise. Damian has written many other books and is a high-demanded speaker and workshop leader - you can find out more on his website or his Instagram @liquidthinker I really enjoyed this chat - hope you enjoy it too.
