The Richards Report Ted Richards

For this episode Ted speaks with Ray McLean who is the founder of Leading Teams, a group of experienced facilitators that assist sporting and corporate teams to lift their performance. You may be familiar with Leading Teams as they have been very successful with some high profile sporting teams over the last few decades.

Ted first crossed paths with Ray back at the end of 2005 when he joined the Sydney Swans from his previous AFL club, the Essendon Bombers.

In this podcast episode they discuss;

• The importance of core values in determining accepted behaviour
• Embracing "genuine" conversations
• The Test (Amazon Prime) and The Last Dance (Netflix) documentaries and the accepted behaviour these sporting teams allowed.

A lot of the conversation is centred on sport, but there are many similarities between the sporting and corporate worlds. In particular, they're both highly competitive where gaining just a small edge can make a big difference to the outcome.

Ted speaks with Psychologist Ellen Jackson from Potential Psychology about stress and anxiety and how it can impact our decision making.

Our brains like predictability to make meaning in life, but often there's a lot of uncertainty which can create stress in our lives. Stress and anxiety can manifest in so many forms, be it for health, financial or other reasons.

When uncertainty increases like what we're seeing with COVID-19 we can become more focused on ourselves and may shorten our time horizon in how we view things. In times of heightened stress people may search for control so they look to control whatever they can. A lot of the time this may not be rational and in our long term best interests, be it hoarding large amounts of toilet paper, or selling investments at the worst possible time.

In the discussion Ellen also outlines some tips and advice we can implement every day to help reduce stress in our lives.
