The best podcasts for Stepping out of your comfort zone to maximise your potential

Who am I?
In 1996, I became an Arctic explorer, and the first British woman to ski to the Magnetic North Pole. Prior to that I had never been further north than Scotland – never done any cross-country skiing – and never come face to face with a polar bear before. It made me realise that we are all capable of so much, yet we often don’t maximise the potential we have. So rather than those expedition memories remaining as photographs in an album, I wanted to use that life-changing experience to inspire others to explore their potential too. Since 1997, I’ve worked with over 400 organisations and 15,000 leaders worldwide and have thousands of hours of coaching experience. Many people find it uncomfortable to step out their comfort zone, but realise they need to do it, and by learning from others, they get inspiration try things out for themselves.

019: Steve Ingham, Jamie Pringle, Rosie Mayes on lessons from working with elite performers
Supporting Champions
09/26/18 • 35 min
Steve discusses lessons from the frontline of working with elite performers with Jamie Pringle, Rosie Mayes. We discuss the essentials of that initial engagement with elite athletes, what to do and what not to do. Getting clarity around your role and what you're working to so that you can prioritise. What clues you might be drawing from the environment, the culture that can help you connect with others and be more effective. Importantly we discuss how some of our behaviours, actions and the bonds between us change under the pressure of competition.
What is it like to work with an elite athlete?
Understanding the culture and environment of sport
Applying your skill and experience to the high performance training environment
Step into the shoes of your athlete, see and experience what they do.
Working with high level performers, winning Olympic medals, but the hard work is completed day in day out on the track or pool
What if they are not interested in the science?
The world doesn't revolve around you
Team sports have their own culture and identity
Cultural intelligence, what do you learn and how do you apply it?
Using humility and credibility in a high performance environment...it's not about you!
Losing naivety, understanding your role, the athlete role and clarity of knowledge
Expecting less from a performance based relationship
Don't fall into the trap of wanting to be valued!
Team identity and the pressure that increases the close to high performance moments
Recognising the pressure for others increasing when you might also be feeling an increase in pressure
Wanting a sense of team belonging and an amplification when under pressure
Searching for certainty in pressure situations
Consistency in training and consistency in performance is a good marker as how you will perform on the day
Get involved in the culture, atmosphere and connect with the individual. The relationships you build on a one to one basis and the development of trust is invaluable.

8: How To Fight Fear With Carey Lohrenz
The Leadercast Podcast
08/21/18 • 41 min
“I always knew right from the beginning, since I was a little girl, that I would be an aviator.
Flying was in my blood.”
Carey Lohrenz is a CEO, keynote speaker, executive leadership Coach, aviator, and author of the book Fearless Leadership. She also happens to be the first female F14 Tomcat Fighter Pilot.
Growing up, Carey’s father was in the Air Force, and her mother was a flight attendant. She used to play with her brother, imagining they were flying high in the skies accomplishing all sorts of daring and incredible feats.
Carey always knew she was going to become a fighter pilot, but she had no idea how challenging that career path would be, particularly as a woman. In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we talk with Carey about the courage, fearlessness, and resilience she has learned about from her time in the cockpit.
