    Jim Steele - Tapping into your potential

    Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson   I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.   I went to the National Sales Conference in June and one of the highlights for me was seeing Jim Steele delivering his keynote.   Jim is described as a ‘holistic performance strategist’ and as soon as the conference ended I was straight over to invite him on the show!   This conversation was a real treat for me as bounced around ideas for high performance, motivation and wellbeing, many of which are described in more detail in Jim’s book ‘Unashamedly Superhuman’.   We talk about a wide range of topics including:   The simple formula for performance - event plus response - outcome.   The importance of active recovery and mental fitness.   The link between our mindset and the conditions we find ourselves in, and the 4 quadrants of performance.   Jim also explains what he means by ‘unashamedly superhuman, and shares some of his favourite tools that he uses personally as he strives towards this.   There is a ton of great ideas and insights in this episode but if you’ve not had enough by the end of it make sure you check out Jim’s website hplab.co.uk, the book itself and some of the other resources and courses he offers.   Follow Jim's work on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jswsteele   Get the book here:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119828511   Website: https://hplab.co.uk

    You can only run the road that you're on

    Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson   I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.   10 years ago I was mid-way through running 10 marathons in 10 days and it felt fitting that I record an episode on the topic this week as I reflect on this challenge.   There were 10 big lessons that I took away from this challenge that I recorded soon afterwards, and reading back over them recently made me realise how many of them I have ingrained into my life.   This episode delves into each of these lessons and how they apply to a variety of different aspects of life beyond running or sports, and then as I went to upload the episode I realised that I did actually record a similar episode about 2.5 years ago!   The one that seems to resonate in particular is 'you can only run the road that you're on', hence the name of this particular episode.   So here we have it, my updated version, possibly with a few new reflections in case you're feeling short changed by having a repeat topic to listen to!

    Give yourself a Mindset Boost

    You know how important mindset is to you approach to challenges and other situations, but how do you go about improving it?   It's about more than 'being more positive', and the more awareness and understanding you have about your mindset the easier it becomes to start making changes that will benefit you.   In this episode I describe the 4 Peak Performance Mindsets, how to spot them and what you can do to start developing them.   I have developed a free self-diagnostic tool you can use to determine your Performance Mindset Score, and see how you are doing for each of them 4 Mindsets individually.   bygeorganderson.scoreapp.com   This will give you a starting point to start developing them in day to day situations, so that they become your defauly mode of operation.   There is also a brand new Mindset Boost program available on the Boost Wellbeing & Performance app, that guides you through the process of strengthening each of the 4 Mindsets:   bygeorgeanderson.com/mindset-boost

    The Laws Of Connection - with David Robson

    Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson   I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.   I’m delighted to welcome back to the show one of my favourite guests, David Robson who previously joined me back in February last year after I had read his book The Expectation Effect.   I’ve just finished reading his latest book and I think you’ll find our conversation about it today both interesting and informative.   The book is called The Laws Of Connection and is really a play book for how we can build deeper and more meaningful relationships with the people around us, and also some of the more unexpected benefits from doing so.   David also unpacks some of the research that shows how we may be better at socialising than we may think, talking about phenomena such as the Liking Gap.   Of course, I highly recommend you have a read of the book itself which is out this week, but in this podcast we get into several of the 13 strategies and learn many new things:   how asking for help benefits you and the person you’re asking how to express gratitude and pay compliments effectively and why a strong social network even improves our ability to fight off illness.   I think you’re going to enjoy this one, so get ready for a bit of a boost!   The book is available on Amazon and all good book stores.   Read more about David on his website here: https://davidrobson.me

    Measuring performance

    Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson   I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.   After a short break from the podcast I'm back, with a look at INNER performance... what it is,  how to measure it, and how and why to improve it.   Usually when we think about performance our thoughts run to the external markers; the KPIs at work, the times we run or the weight we lift in our training, or generally the results we're getting in life.   But all of these are outcomes that are influenced by our inner performance.   Your focus, clarity, empathy, mindset, optimism, energy... all of these (and many more) elements will have an impact on your behaviours which in turn largely dictates your results.   If you're enjoying A Bit Of A Boost and would like to leave a review or rating, I would very much appreciate the support. Equally if you give the show a follow or subscribe and share your favourite episodes with your friends, all of this helps me to spread the word and reach more people.

    Colby Sharma: grit, adversity and winning the game of life

    Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson   I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.   My guest on today’s podcast is author of the book The Curveball, Colby Sharma.     Colby shares his own personal story of growing up and having to overcome adversity, and how this experience lead him on the path not only succeed in his education and a career in law, but ultimately to become a real motivator and expert in resilience.   During the course of our conversation we get into the 4 central messages in his book, and what I love about the way Colby describes them is the way he makes them so practical.   It’s very easy to think of resilience as quite an abstract quality, that we maybe know we should have more of or be better at, but how exactly do we do that?   We talk about breaking big challenges down into manageable steps, how to get better at controlling our response to difficult situations, prioritising the rituals that lead to our best performance and building a team around us that can support us through anything.   We both end up sharing personal experiences through the course of our conversation, and some interesting insights came through for me right here within the interview which was a reminder in case I needed it that we are all always learning.   Colby's book 'The Curveball' is available from Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/2xPW83L   Connect with Colby on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colbysharma
