THE GREAT COACHES
We use videos of the Great Coaches we have interviewed, together with our experience as corporate and sporting leaders, to bring insight, energy, and ideas to your teams.
Check out the video below for an introduction to what we can offer.
We share the lessons that we have learnt from interviewing >200 of the world’s Great Coaches.
From understanding the value of care, to the debilitating effects of self-talk and the power of mental fitness, these lessons can help you improve your own leadership.
We explain what the Great Coaches do to create thriving teams. Teams that thrive deliver long-term success and we offer ideas on what people can start doing immediately to get more from the teams that they are a part of, today.
We take you behind the scenes to explain what the Great Coaches do to create winning team cultures. Discover how a great culture creates a sense of belonging, attracting people and making them feel like they are a part of something bigger than just themselves.
Reframing adversity as the pre-cursor to growth. We give examples of how Great Coaches achieve this with their athletes and teams, and leave you with the tools to think differently about the challenges you are facing.
One of the key parts of a thriving team is the behavioural standards they hold themselves to. We bring to life the way Great Coaches achieve this with their teams, and will challenge you to think deeply about the behaviors in your team.
The 26th American President, Theodore Roosevelt is credited with the saying: Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. The Great Coaches know this and find a way to couple deep, authentic care with the heightened accountability that leads to improved performance. We bring their top tips on how to do this to life in this interactive presentation.
Your leadership identity is the touchstone you use to guide your everyday actions as a leader. It stays behind you when you leave the room. We explain how Great Coaches build their leadership identity and leave you with a template to form your own.
Commitment connects your energy to the fulfilment of your goals. Great coaches fuel your commitment by helping you maintain focus and self belief. We bring the voices of great coaches into the room to help you find ways to build commitment in your teams.
Communication is central to the way you lead people. Great Coaches communicate in a way that motivates, builds trust and provides direction. We give examples on how they do this, and leave you with ideas on how you can improve your communication style.
The act of giving and receiving feedback is a precarious one that needs to be treated with care and preparation if it is to lead to performance or behavioural change. We use insight from the Great Coaches to discuss how they approach this critical aspect of leadership and leave with you with ideas to try with your team.
Listening is a skill that is fundamental to your success as a leader. If you do it well it can lead to increased motivation, engagement and development from your team. We provide examples on how Great Coaches approach listening, and challenge you with ideas on how you can improve.
Motivation nudges you forward when the daily grind of practice or work weighs you down. The Great Coaches find ways to motivate people to strive for something bigger. We provide insight and examples of how they do this and leave you with new ideas to bring back to your team.
Values are the rally force that guide the behaviours of successful teams. Great coaches ground their athletes in these values and use them as the touchstone to drive culture. We provide examples of the how they do this and the values they most often fall back on. This session will challenge you to think differently about the foundations of the team you lead.
“They have the ability to think differently, challenge teams and leaders in the way they think about and lean into challenges. Engaged presenters get to the heart of the issues and the Leadership lessons gained from The Great Coaches podcast is unique and invaluable. Highly recommend.”
“We recently participated in a transformative “Thriving Teams” workshop facilitated by Paul Barnett…What sets Paul apart is his use of real-life examples from the world’s most successful sports coaches. These stories effectively translate his concepts into tangible strategies, making them relatable and applicable to our team.”
