Episode description
This week, my guest is Damian Hughes, organisational psychologist and author. He's written several books about leadership and high-performance culture within some of the world's most successful businesses and sports organisations, including Barcelona Football Club, and Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson.
You'll probably know him as the host of one of the UK's top podcasts, which he presents with Jake Humphrey. The High Performance Podcast has been listened to millions of times and has featured incredible guests like Dame Kelly Holmes, Jo Malone, Sir Chris Hoy, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Voss, and Tim Peake.
We discussed how establishing your non-negotiables can help remove ambiguity from setting goals, managing your time, and ensuring you're aligned with the people you're working with. We also covered how to get over the sense that when you're in the middle of a project, everything can look like it's not working, as well as the why being crystal clear on the outcome you're aiming for will help with establishing the small steps you need to take every day to help you get there.
Damian was a fantastic guest who was very generous with his time and insights. He's also got a real talent for breaking down potentially complex challenges into easily understood and practical advice, so please enjoy listening, and if you've not already heard his show, check the podcast and his upcoming book out (links below).
