    Jesse Turner: From Rejection to WA State Player

    Jesse Turner is the captain of Swan Districts Football Club, a five-time consecutive WA State representative and a secondary school teacher. Jesse reflects on his football journey from Bassendean Junior Football Club through the Swan Districts development pathway, sharing the setbacks that shaped his career. He opens up about being overlooked, cut from Colts, missing a Colts Grand Final after playing 18 consecutive games and the challenges of competing while unknowingly dealing with anaemia. Rather than walking away, Jesse committed to becoming the hardest worker on the track. That mindset earned him selection in the reserves, a league debut in his first senior year and ultimately established him as one of the WAFL's most consistent midfielders and leaders. Jesse also discusses the influence of coaches throughout his career, including the impact Andrew "Pruey" Pruyn had by believing in him when others didn't. He shares what it takes to balance the demands of semi-professional football with teaching, the sacrifices required to perform at an elite level, his teaching focus on relationships and positive reinforcement and the motivation he draws from his single mum and younger brother. 🎧Spotify – YouTube – Apple High Performance Leaders Whether you're developing leaders, recognising your people or building a stronger team, we’ve got you covered. - 1:1 Leadership Coaching - Team Workshops & Custom Training - Operational Leadership Support - Leadership Recognition Stories 👉 Contact Daniel: https://www.highpl.com.au/

    James Jensen: Leadership Lessons from the SASR

    James is a 20 year Australian Army veteran and former SASR Patrol Commander who now helps organisations develop stronger leaders through K6 Consultancy. We talk about James' leadership journey from training to be an officer, leading soldiers early on in East Timor and Afghanistan through to commanding within the SASR, where he learnt that trust and strong relationships will always outperform command and control leadership. James also explains how leadership is developed within the Army, how the SASR approaches leadership differently and what businesses can learn when selecting, developing and supporting their own leaders. We also look at the impact leaders have through feedback and emotional control, declining standards and accountability within leadership, managing public perception, cultural changes within the SASR and why James founded K6 Consultancy to help organisations build better leaders through long term development.

    Travis Haney: Why Kids Need Team Sports

    Daniel welcomes back Travis from SPARQ Fitness to break down the benefits of kids playing team sports and why they matter far beyond physical fitness. The episode explores how sport helps build confidence, resilience and life skills that flow into work, relationships and everyday life. They contrast today’s screen heavy, sedentary lifestyle with the value of being outdoors, staying active and learning through competition, setbacks and challenges. Daniel and Travis discuss the key lessons sport teaches in a controlled environment including discipline, consistency, accountability, emotional regulation, teamwork, leadership, handling pressure and working with people you may not always get along with. They also touch on the importance of community, belonging and cross cultural friendships, while challenging the growing focus on winning and participation trophies over development, effort, attitude and long term growth. 🎧Spotify – YouTube – Apple https://www.highpl.com.au/podcast⁠ SPARQ Fitness https://sparqfitness.com.au/ High Performance Leaders Whether you're building a stronger team, developing leaders, or navigating a critical period — we’ve got you covered. - 1:1 Leadership Coaching - Team Workshops & Custom Training - Operational Leadership Support - Development for Leaders at All Levels If you're ready to lift performance, culture, and accountability. 👉 Contact Daniel: https://www.highpl.com.au/

    Lina Ticheli: Parenting Neurodivergent Children

    Lina through her practice Show Up Psychology supports children, teens and adults navigating neurodivergence. We explore neurodivergence across all life stages including late diagnosis particularly in females and why labels can be helpful despite stigma. She breaks down the shift toward neurodiversity affirming practice focusing on identity, accommodations and adapting environments rather than forcing neurotypical behaviour. The conversation dives into parenting and family dynamics including unlearning discipline styles, emotional regulation, repair and more collaborative relationships. Lina also explains PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) as an anxiety driven autism profile often misunderstood as defiance and shares practical approaches built on rapport, safety and co regulation. We talk about diagnosis waitlists, NDIS challenges, workplace flexibility and the importance of parent self-care. 🎧Spotify – YouTube – Apple https://www.highpl.com.au/podcast⁠ Show Up Phycology https://showuppsychology.com.au/ Ross Greene Pathological Demand Avoidance Spoon Theory High Performance Leaders Whether you're building a stronger team, developing leaders, or navigating a critical period — we’ve got you covered. - 1:1 Leadership Coaching - Team Workshops & Custom Training - Operational Leadership Support - Development for Leaders at All Levels If you're ready to lift performance, culture, and accountability. 👉 Contact Daniel: https://www.highpl.com.au/
