BITESIZE #33 | Kevin Sinfield: Finding your path just takes getting started

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 00:01:00 GMT 7:11

This week’s bitesize brilliance is from rugby league legend Kevin Sinfield.

 

We chatted about the importance of soft stuff: the ability to show our emotions, let people know we care and the power of friendship. This is the intangible stuff that produces the hard currency of silverware.

 

"When it is all over, you don't remember games as well as the friendships and relationships you share."


In 2020 Kevin set the challenge to run 7 marathons in 7 days hoping to raise £77,777 in honour of his best Rob Burrow, who wore the No 7 shirt. He raised more than £2.5 million to help his friend’s family and the fight against MND.

BITESIZE #32 | James Timpson: Never do a deal with someone you don’t like

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT 7:40

Our bitesize dose of motivation today comes from James Timpson, the CEO of Timpson, a business that has been in his family for over 150 years.


The reaction to this episode was huge! It was a real pleasure to spend time with James and hear his lessons and values to building the business - something that resonated with so many.


James’ episode had a clear message - culture, when harnessed correctly, can be a competitive advantage.

BITESIZE #31 | Cath Bishop: Winning when it’s impossible

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT 6:15

This week we have an extract from our exclusive members club The High Performance Circle, with former Olympian and business coach, Cath Bishop. 

Cath believes that we have come to define winning too narrowly - as a moment in time crossing the line, winning a medal, and at a level set by others rather than ourselves. That 'win at all costs' mentality has seen 'the costs' rise to unacceptable levels. 

Cath talks about the need to redefine winning in a way that helps us to explore our potential better and thrive over the long-term, to ensure that crossing the line first or last is connected to something of lasting value. Jake and Damian respond to Cath's excellent keynote speech.

E80 - Jenson Button: Going through the gears to succeed

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT 56:20

Jenson Button is a former F1 world champion and one of the greatest racing drivers of his generation. Jenson grew up as part of a motor-racing-mad family under the guidance of his father, John, arriving at Williams as a 20 year-old, to being written off by some as a playboy and his fight back to the very pinnacle of his sport winning the world championship with Brawn GP in 2009


Since retiring Jenson owns a team in the electric off-road series, Extreme E will help revive Radford, the famed British coachbuilding outfit.
