Episode #9 of High performance with Joe Sprange. I had the pleasure to chat to Ben Darwin. Ben is a former a Wallaby Professional Rugby coach and now founder of Gain line Analytics.

Bens high-performance keys are;

• Extrinsic motivation doesn’t last long, you have to WANT to be better, all the time.
• Remove the distractions and ‘Burn the ships’ a great metaphor to remember
• Choose an environment that will make you perform at your highest

Ben has a unique perspective on high-performance that’s backed up by data.

If you love rugby, then you’ll love my chat with Ben.

If you do, I’d be grateful if you left me a podcast review and then shared it with your mates.

I had the pleasure of chatting to Steve Solomon. Steve is a six- time Australian 400m champion, two- time Olympian, and co-captain of the Australian Track and Field Team. He works as an executive at Uber and he is passionate about performing at his highest, solving difficult problems, and helping people grow.

Steve’s high-performance keys are:

Curiosity in how things work - so he can focus his energy on the key areas that will help him improve;

Focusing on where his passions are and immersing himself; and

Developing longevity so that you can stand the test of time.

Steve it is a great example of a brilliant young man with a successful academic, sporting and professional career. As he put it so well, "you don't need to be exceptional to achieve high performance, you just need to be better”.

Welcome to Episode #7 of season two of @highperformancewithjoesprange. Today I chat to Allison Rossiter who has spent 22 successful years at Roche diagnostics as the Managing Director of Australia. Allison lead her team through the pandemic, they provided Australia with 200,000 covid tests each week and they wrote the white paper that got rapid antigen test approved in Australia.

When she's not trying to make the world better a better place, she is learning ballet or teaching herself to run 5 km's.

Allison believes high performance is all about your culture and believes great culture need three things;

Purpose - you need to find your purpose in what you do

Passion - when you're passionate, work isn't work, it becomes part of your purpose

Courage - high performance doesn't come easy, it comes when you're out of your comfort zone.

My favourite quote from the day is, "You don't have to be the best, but you have to do your best" and I loved how she used Dr Seuss' "Oh the places you will go!" to articulate the company's cultural transformation. I'd love to know your favourite bits from our chat in the comments below.

If you are interested in what high performance keys you need to lead culture change, then you must listen to this podcast. If you do and like it, I'd be grateful if you left me a podcast review, it absolutely makes my day getting feedback!
