Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#112: David Galbraith: The Ghost Mind Coach Behind NZ's Greatest Athletes on What Separates Phenomenal From Everyone Else
Q: Who is the most psychologically cultured athlete or coach you've worked with, and what distinguishes them?
I don't name individuals, but the best balance courage and maturity, and coaches who see the person first coach the mind and the body, creating harmony between 'Jedi' and 'Darth Vader' in performance.
#112: David Galbraith: The Ghost Mind Coach Behind NZ's Greatest Athletes on What Separates Phenomenal From Everyone Else
Q: You've worked with New Zealand Olympic teams and top athletes. Why do some people never change even when they know they need to?
People resist change due to fear, but the deeper driver is maturity. When individuals develop a concrete identity, clear desires, and a plan, they move from fantasy to achievable goals, enabling lasting change.
#109: Meridith Powell: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Competitive Advantage
Q: What is the core of your confidence-building approach for new leaders?
Develop confidence through a balance of health, relationships, finances, career, and spirituality; progress in all five areas builds sustainable leadership confidence, and separating personal from professional boundaries helps maintain accountability.
#103: Selling in the Age of AI: Trust, Value & Modern Sales w/ Tony Hughes
Q: What advice would you give your younger self starting in sales?
Remember it's not about you or your success; it's about the customer achieving better outcomes and you staying intelligent and curious about the person in front of you.
#103: Selling in the Age of AI: Trust, Value & Modern Sales w/ Tony Hughes
Q: What is the role of trust in moving deals forward and how do you earn it?
Trust is earned by showing genuine understanding of the buyer's circumstances, sharing values, and delivering credible insights that help the buyer see a improved result; it also requires humility and avoiding the 'show up and throw up' approach.
