Can average people from average circumstances achieve Elite-level Performance ? Today to complete my series on mental resilience I am talking to Corey Sigvaldason of the HOP Performance Institute who set out to find the answer to that very question which led him to explore why everybody doesn’t achieve those levels of performance. He explains how the HOP Performance Institute was formed to help people achieve their true potential. Together we explore high performance, how mindset plays a role in...

A special podcast episode to commemorate Remembrance Sunday , the 11th of November at the 11th hour on the 11th day to remember. If you think about all of the people that have gone before you. About people who forged the way for you in their own way: What would they want? What would they say? As we take two minutes to reflect . And I really encourage you to think about what mark or marks do you want to leave on this earth. What do you want people to be saying about you? But maybe it's time to re...

Current wisdom says that a Black Hole is the most powerful force in the universe. Anything that gets too close to a black hole is drawn into it and transformed. This desire to transform is within all of us but it will only come to pass if we have the focus of a black hole – to do one thing and to do it to the exclusion of all else. This idea – the ability to transform and being ‘in the zone’ shows up in all sorts of places. From Bagpuss – who with his friends uses imagination and creativity to d...

Good, Better, Best Never Let it Rest, Until your Good is Better And your Better, Best My Mum learned this little ditty when she was a child, and she is still saying it to this day and it has rubbed off on me. I believe that the most amazing thing anyone can do is work to get better in their life. It isn’t easy – everything around us has made our lives easy and we encouraged to settle rather than pay the price for improving. And yet, as a species, settling is killing us. Your life is a story and ...

Are you where you want to be in life? Are your health, your relationship and your career exciting you? Or is there still something you need to do in your life? The vast majority of us are caught in a life of mediocrity, settling for where they are because that is what everyone around them is doing. It is only when they find themselves in crisis that they discover just who they are capable of being. So, what will it take for you to go beyond the ordinary and become extra-ordinary? What will excit...

In 2002 I recorded a podcast with (then) two-times World Snooker Champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan, recording a second one the following year. Now, eighteen years on, Ronnie and I recorded a third podcast together reflecting on what has changed and what has stayed the same. Comparing the three interviews has allowed me to see what it takes to be at the top of your game for two decades and how one develops mastery through practice. Everything Ronnie has done has been about the journey – making every da...

In this fascinating interview, Ronnie will explain how he has changed from being the young and hungry young player to one of the sport’s senior players – more interested in his own improvement and development of the game over winni...

Asking questions is an essential part of being human: Who am I? What is important in my life? How can I be a better parent? How do I help others? How can I save the world? Right now, the focus on saving our planet is stronger than ever. We are in the midst of a global pandemic and the impact this has had and will continue to have for years to come, has woken may people up to how fragile our world is. In this podcast we explore how, while no one person can save the world single-handed, everyone c...

Do you ever wish you were unbreakable? That when life’s challenges came along – both physical and mental – you could carry on without pain or suffering. Sounds good, yes? The problem is, that without struggle, there is no challenge and, without challenge, there is no achievement. In this podcast, I explain what it means to be anti-fragile – to be able to face every adversity in life and to learn and grow stronger without breaking. From doing a tough workout at the gym, to practicing silent medit...

We live in an ever-changing world. The pace at which everything moves on and moves forward is both exciting and frightening. Standing still is no longer an option because – as you stand still, everything around you is racing forward, leaving you falling behind. Your life is an everlasting process of reinvention. Change is challenging our concept of normal. We live in a world which is focussed on telling us that we can feel better by external stimulation and the ‘next new thing.’ If mental resili...

Why is it important to be mentally resilient? So many people today are ‘going with the flow.’ They align themselves to the latest trends and fashions and work hard to be like everyone around them. Yet, they never feel truly satisfied. Humans really want to grow and make a contribution to the world and that can’t be done by doing the same as everyone else. To make that shift, however – to move away from the certainty of fitting in and getting your sense of significance and connection by doing wha...

The idea of ‘winning’ conjures up many different thoughts and reactions in people. What does it really mean to win in your life? The modern world is one that seems to thrive on the idea that we can’t be happy unless we look outside ourselves. It drives us on a path of not having enough or being enough unless… Unless we ‘buy this’ or ‘do that’ or ‘act like those people’… and it leaves us feeling unfulfilled. It creates an idea that ‘winning’ is about getting to some point in your life when you ha...

I do love a good story and every now and then I get a chance to interview people who are so inspiring and have so much that they want to give to the world. A few weeks ago I appeared on national television talking about the obesity crisis and the need for a rethink of how we tackle this chronic disease. I was contacted by Lucy Wyndham Reed who was watching the show and was inspired by what I said. She sent me a message on Instagram commending me for what I said. I was intrigued to find out who t...

In the special podcast I interview former world champion boxer Billy Schwer. Billy explains that “Every world champion has a coach. Now you may not have any Desire to be a world champion but most people have a Desire to achieve more and Be more in their lives. The problem that we have is that ‘life’ kinda gets in the way and we often settle for second best because we don’t have the time, knowledge, or the energy to get round or through our problems. In other words we get stuck or, in many cases,...

What is your reason for doing what you do? Why are you in your current job? Why do you live where you live? Why do you work on the things you work on for your own enjoyment? What’s your motivation? The recent events around the world have encouraged many people to rethink their lives and consider different options for work, health and relationships. It has been a huge wake-up call. But it takes courage to step out of the comfort of everyday life and start to think and act differently. This podcas...

What odds would you put on yourself to create the life you want? If you want to be happy or financially free or healthy what are your chances of success based on your past performance? Possibly not great odds – because we are caught in a system where we don’t want to stand out and do your own thing. That’s where motivation comes in. If you are inspired to achieve something or have ideas you want to share with the world, being motivated means you don’t care about fitting in. Being motivated means...

How do you motivate anybody? What gives them the motive to do, or not do, something? Few would disagree that we usually do the things we do because we want something. We want to be stimulated, to enjoy things and to feel good. For many people that sense of ‘feeling good’ comes from getting away from ‘feeling bad’ – they want to escape boredom or hide from depressing or mask pain. They seek pleasure in things that, ultimately make matters worse – junk food, alcohol, drugs, social media… In this p...

Human beings are remarkable – we are adaptable and flexible and there seems to be no limit to what we can do or invent. All we need is the right motivation. Motivation – to ‘move through’- is what drives us to take action on anything that we do. For example, what motivated you to get out of bed this morning. Perhaps there was something you were looking forward to doing. Perhaps the cat was demanding to be fed. Perhaps you had to get up in order to get to work on time. These are all forms of moti...

Do you want to have a great day? Every great day starts the night before – by getting a good night’s sleep. If we look back 250 years – before the introduction of the electric light bulb – people typically slept for 10 hours a night. Now, millions of people are getting by on between 5 and 6 hours a night. Sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep apnoea and narcolepsy are on the rise and, for plenty of others the quality of their sleep is poor. If you want to: live longer; enhance your memory be more...

There is a saying that “it takes ten years to be an overnight success.” Success takes hard work and dedication and to continue to consistently take action towards that end goal. Right now, many people are consistently taking action which will lead to chronic conditions such as obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. They believe that feeling tired and bloated is normal and we self-medicate with food, alcohol, nicotine or digital entertainment. And we are out of sync with our bodies natural ...

I am delighted to share a powerful meditation and visualisation to help you relax and boost your willpower. Do not listen to this whilst operating machinery or driving. Only listen when you can relax and not be disturbed from the outside world. I have always been fascinated with the subject of willpower. It is such a vital part of a person’s armoury when changing ingrained patterns of behaviour such as adopting a healthy lifestyle or meeting a goal in life. If you look it up in a dictionary, the...

What is the most valuable thing that you own? We like to think it is our health and energy but if it is so valuable why do so many of us take so little care of it? We all have goals dreams and ambitions - but without your health and the energy to work towards them, nothing will ever be achieved. In the Western World today we have become adjusted to a sick society, where we have settled into a life where we sit for most of the day, then go home, eat processed food, sit watching television and sle...
