Owen Eastwood - Belonging

Owen Eastwood is a performance consultant who’s book ‘Belonging’ I devoured recently. Topping the charts in his native New Zealand, it’s crammed full of story-telling and take-home messages. I would read a few pages, then reflect on my own work and career and drift off into thought and feelings. It’s such a good read. Owen has worked with some of the very best teams and organisations both in the UK and abroad. Of Maori descent, that’s also a driver that’s fuelled his thinking around purpose, leadership, role models, success and much more. For the last five years he’s been a consultant to Gareth Southgate’s England team as well as recently consulting with the new Premiership Rugby Champions, Harlequins and thee are stories about those teams as well as many more examples along the way. I drove across to his offices in the Cotswolds really excited for the conversation I was going to have. The book gave me plenty of starting points, but also through conversations we've had previously, I knew this would be a really rich and thought provoking chat. As the title of his book, we started our chat around belonging, something that he wraps a lot of his work around.
