Episode notes

Welcome back to the show. In this season of the Human Revolutionaries Show, I'm specifically diving into the importance of health and wellbeing as an integral part of leadership. Today's guest is Mark Francis, from Uspire Group. New Grandad Mark dedicates his spare time to working with leaders to help them step-change their businesses. He's a mental coach in individual and team sports and splits his time between Switzerland, California and the English South Coast. I particularly wanted to talk to him because of the links between sport and leadership...and also to understand which lessons don't translate to the corporate world. We discuss - How we can see leadership in you even if you don’t! The split between dictatorial, personality based leadership versus collaborative enabling leadership What leaders work on in order to grow Fixed mindset Lessons from working with sportspeople (and what we shouldn’t take from professional sportspeople) The difference between sports teams and many commercial teams Our own recent journey to better health The post-lunch lull How our physical wellbeing impacts our performance Finding meaning in asking questions versus having answers And much more.
