Fit To Perform: Chris Dixon - Unipart
A Bit Of A Boost
Welcome to the A Bit Of A Boost: Fit to Perform Series. We all know that looking after ourselves is important, but when you’re busy, under pressure and juggling competing priorities, it’s not always easy to stay consistent. Exercise and wellbeing can quickly become things we know we should do, rather than things we make time for. But what if looking after yourself isn’t a distraction from your professional performance, but one of the things that helps you perform at your best? In this series, I’m talking to busy professionals who make exercise and looking...

Consistency
A Bit Of A Boost
Consistency is the holy grail of habits. Instead of frustrating cycles of all-or-nothing, actually doing what you say you're going to do without interruption or deviation. I wanted to return to recording the podcast with this topic because it feels very relevant, given how it's now May and this is the first episode I have published since the start of the year. I share my own challenges but also the ways I try to overcome them, how I apply these strategies to everything from pubslishing a podcast, exercise and business development. If any of your habits have drifted...

A Bit Of A Boost
Welcome to the A Bit Of A Boost Burnout Series! This is a topic I’ve explored on the podcast before, and one that comes up regularly in coaching sessions, workshops and conversations with high performing professionals. What’s become clear is that it doesn’t just suddenly hit you. It creeps up, gets normalised and isn’t always easy to spot until it’s too late. In this series I’m sharing real conversations with people who’ve experienced burnout firsthand. Not the theories or frameworks, but the personal stories of what happened. How it felt, what...

info_outlineJim Rohn tells us that 'we are the average of the 5 people we spend most of our time with', so are you actively seeking out the 'right' kind of person to be around?
If you have goals that require you to develop different habits, skills, beliefs or even sense of identity, then getting around other people who normalise these behaviours and beliefs is going to make it easier.
People, communities, physical spaces and even your inner environment can be curated to help you stay on track with your goals.
This episode looks at a few examples and I share some personal stories including how the episode topic was inspired by a conversation with Penny Mallory, a previous guest on this podcast from September 2022!
I also mention LinkedIn in this episode and invite you to connect with me over there, which you can do so by visiting:
