Starting with themselves. So a converation that started to overheat and become a competitive turf battle was slowed down. After a little exploration the team members were able to express the anxiety that was ]]> http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/204 William Winstone Fri, 25 Jun 2010 10:32:32 -0700 http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/204 http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/187 William Winstone Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:26:14 -0700 http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/187 Here’s a question for the coaches out

line manage? 
I’ve noticed that at times I can be swept
into a detailed exploration of the behaviour and motives of my client’s team - people
who aren’t in the r ]]> http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/184 Jonathan Males Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:27:42 -0700 http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/184 In an  ideal world everyone would have the benefit of a ‘good boss’ who’s firm
but fair, gives enough freedom let you get on with the job – and is close enough
to provide guidance when it’s needed. In order to provide guidance, a good boss

I've just been invited to contribute to a blog on www.Istadia.com for my greatest sporting memory of the decade. It has to be Usain Bolt before during and after his 100 meters performances in Beijing and this year too.

We watch a lot of films about music, and this was set in a small Swedish village where a world famous maestro conductor (Daniel) had retreated to recuperate. All of human life is here, and as Daniel reluctantly is ]]> http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/179 William Winstone Thu, 17 Dec 2009 08:34:51 -0700 http://www.performance-1.co.uk/blog/179
