Our event in New York is two weeks today; reading a poem can help your stress go away; key takeaways from our event on performance pathways.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

\n

By Matthew Stone<\/h6>\n
Hello. marHab\u0101. X\u03b1\u03af\u03c1\u03b5! The green and purple of the Championships is still strong here in Wimbledon and there\u2019s an exciting final few days of tennis left. If any of you are in SW19, give us a shout as we\u2019d love to catch up!<\/span><\/h6>\n

We\u2019re off to New York in a couple of weeks for our Leaders Meet: Creativity & Collaboration event on 20-21 July. We still have a few spaces left for both the Performance in Practice workshop on Wednesday afternoon and the main event on the Thursday, so take a look at the agenda and sign up if you want to join us in the Big Apple<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s another collection of news, insights and stories from across high performance. Grab your brew, take a pew and enjoy the view!<\/p>\n

5 questions, answered\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Matt \u2013 can I become a member of the Leaders Performance Institute on my own, rather than as part of a team?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can now. We\u2019re excited to say we\u2019ve just launched our new Individual Membership. Here\u2019s a little video<\/a> to whet the appetite, and you can become a member right here, right now, by clicking this link<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Are you feeling stressed?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Read a poem<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. How do you implement change in the workplace?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to make change at work happen. However, there are steps you can take to overcome resistance and motivate people to embrace new ideas. Adam Grant speaks to an education change agent, a business turnaround specialist, and a bestselling author to identify what you can do to improve the status quo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What makes great leaders?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Small actions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. How did Leaders Meet: Performance Pathways at St George\u2019s Park go? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks. We had 50 of our members discussing and exploring all things performance pathways. Here are the key takeaways<\/a> from sessions with Welsh Rugby, the LTA and the FA last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy 4th of July<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sending our best wishes to our American friends this week for Independence Day. To celebrate, we\u2019ve gathered a few of our favourite sessions from our US events down the years, which you can find in this thread.<\/a><\/p>\n

Setting your strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Putting a new strategy in place is not an easy or fast process. So what do you need to consider before doing so? Here are two questions to ask<\/a> before you do so.<\/p>\n

Plus, in an age of uncertainty such as now, we need new frameworks<\/a> to guide companies through ambiguity.<\/p>\n

But strategies sometimes fail. Here are four reasons<\/a> why they do.<\/p>\n

Diversity Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Leaders Meet: Diversity Series is a platform for executives from underrepresented communities in the sports industry and, importantly, for allies of those executives to connect and share best practice with the objective of creating a more diverse and inclusive sports industry. Together with Meta, we’re excited to get back together in-person today, Friday 8 July, at Arsenal FC. We still have a few spaces in case any of you want to join us. More info here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Free time<\/strong><\/p>\n

We still have some free consultancy sessions up for grabs with our partners Elite Performance Partners. If you are a senior leader, or leadership group, looking to challenge your thinking and understand best practice from across the globe, or would like a sounding board on issues including team dynamics, organisational design, key hires or leadership development, click here to book in time<\/a> with Dave or Anna from EPP to discuss your most pressing topic.<\/p>\n
