In this bonus episode of The Mindflick Podcast, we bring together six powerful lessons from our first six guests — spanning elite sport, global business, engineering, and ballet.
You’ll hear insights from:
Dr Mark Bawden on why focusing on strengths — not obsessing over weaknesses — creates the biggest performance gains, and how leaders often overlook what’s already working.
Joe Root on learning to live with failure, separating confidence from results, and why team success matters more than individual scores.
Penny Hughes on shifting between attack and defence, valuing different ways of thinking, and leading with courage in high-stakes environments.
Gilad Tiefenbrun on market leadership, humility, and how complacency at the top can quietly derail even the most dominant organisations.
Phil Jansen on managing ambition, building healthy internal competition, and why perspective — including knowing when to “smell the flowers” — is a performance advantage.
Iain Mackay on super strengths, standing out within a team, and how elite performers build careers by knowing what makes them different.
