This episode, we're exploring the world of coaching. Rhett McLennan is a professional sports coach in a feeder league to the AFL (major league of Australian rules football)

Rhett's career started in health, first as a health practitioner, and then in leadership and management roles. With a move to being a full-time professional coach in a sporting environment, Rhett is obsessed by learning, growing and helping others to achieve.

Some of the impressive learnings from Rhett include:

• The importance of coaching trends, not events.
• Connection before correction.

I'm back!

#111 is a short episode to introduce the new Think Big, Act Small podcast.

After being in business for more than 20 years, I've discovered that many of us who work in small service-based businesses are all too often stuck in our own heads.

Every day we're thinking about our businesses and have recurring, often self-limiting thoughts. We're an ambitious crew, but our thinking sometimes gets in our own way.

So from now on, this podcast will bring you a short and inspiring break from those thinking patterns that can limit your growth.

You'll find ideas, encouragement, and inspiration to fill your heart, challenge your mind, and inspire bigger thinking.

Enjoy!

I'm back!

After encouraging you to have a time-out in the last episode, I've been true to my word... and then some! I'm back from an extended break from the podcast – but there's been lots going on behind the scenes, and I'm excited to give you an update on what I've been up to, some BIG changes at The Physio Co and the evolution of my thinking.

I've enlisted the help of content strategist and fellow podcaster Trevor Young to grill me on the reasons for the extended break, and to tease out exactly what I've been up to since we last spoke (spoiler alert: a new book!). I think you'll enjoy the tweaks I've made to the Culture Is Everything approach that help owners of growing, service-based businesses to thrive.

Enjoy!

#109 is a short solo episode to wrap up this season and update you on my areas of focus for the months ahead.

In particular, we explore the power of committing to a rhythm of breaks or TIME OUTs. I've found this to be a critical part of a sustainable leadership lifestyle. Since 2016 I’ve had a regular week or so off work to reset and recharge every quarter.

If you’re a leader, I encourage you to schedule and commit to some rest, recovery and reflection this month. Your body, your mind, your family and your team will thank you later for taking the time to recharge. #leadershiplifestyle

"Don't practise until you can get it right, practise until you can't get it wrong." - Michael Jordan

As a mentor and coach, I see far too many over-empathetic leaders (like I used to be) who are working for their business instead of the other way around.

The empathy-accountability continuum helps over-empathetic leaders recognise and resolve this trait.

This episode revisits the empathy-accountability continuum model introduced in episode 82 and referred to in episodes 106 and 107.

I’m repeating a section of episode 87 because it’s probably the most important content I’ve ever produced.

Mastering this skill will transform your leadership lifestyle and guide you to better control your business.

In this episode, I'm going in hard.

Too much empathy is killing businesses and sucking the life out of service-based entrepreneurs.

Empathy has its place, but I argue it's being overdone by far too many leaders. It's time for some real talk on this topic and today's the day we're going to have that conversation.

Enjoy!
