What do high performers - athletes, CEOs, and entertainers - really want? From my work with the 0.01%, here’s what I’ve learned: 1️⃣ They want the credentials and services of your team, as advertised 2️⃣ They want to trust a process that will lead them to a desired outcome 3️⃣ They want your team to understand their unique context But remember - the real high performers do more due diligence on you than you might expect, before committing: 📚 They’ll read your articles. 🎥 Watch your interviews. 📖 Even read your book. The performers and their team will want to qualify the scope and depth of your expertise in a world full of social media gurus (which is great!). But taking on a high performer is a two-way street. The biggest lesson I’ve learned? 🛑 Never ignore red flags in a discovery meeting 🚩 Reps refusing to introduce the performer for a discovery call 🚩 Fixated on programme cost or requesting a break clause in the contract. 🚩 Turning up late to meetings 🚩 Indications they aren't ready to prioritise a lifestyle change Link to the full article in the comments. Any additional thoughts? Let me know in the comments!

I’m excited to share an update! 🥁 I’ve spent 20 years working with high-performance organisations and individuals - World Cup winners, Olympians, Oscar winners, and CEOs - as a specialist in nutrition and human performance. Now, I’m leading INTRA Performance Group and working as a VC, investing in health and human performance innovation. I’m passionate about finding people and projects that will make a meaningful difference to our society. Here, I’ll be sharing blogs, insights, news, occasional humour, and my webinar series on ‘the future of health and performance.’ 🛳️ Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 08:00, I’ll ship my first blog: ‘What High Performers Want’. (If you’re a fan of 00’s rom-coms, this one’s for you! 😅)
