In the spirit of speaking to different types of experts I have been wanting to a) speak to people in the world of consulting that help companies improve team effectiveness and develop leaders, and b) speak to people that have worked in teams in the furnace of the military environment. With this episode's guest Richard Waddell, I am fortunate to get 2 for the price of 1 … !

After passing through officer training at Sandhurst, Richard was in the UK one moment, and 48 hours later on the ground in Basrah commanding a troop of soldiers, some of whom were far older and more experienced in the military. After navigating this and many other challenges, Richard eventually came out of the military and entered the world of consulting - working for large firms and starting his own businesses in talent identification, recruitment and leadership development amongst other things.

In this episode we talk about leadership styles in different contexts, military insights applied to sport and business, recruitment, talent identification and consultancy, psychometric profiling tools…

In episode 4 of season 2, we speak to Jenna Woolven.

Jenna has got a very impressive list of experiences across many environments, both as an athlete and a sport psychology consultant. She played national level and junior international level hockey before transitioning into sports marketing, and then into her sport and exercise psychology. Jenna then went on to work for sports and management consultancy Lane4, where she worked with various businesses and sports organisations, including a year where she was embedded into the Football Association and based at St George’s Park.

She’s now an independent consultant and passionate about helping people to realise their potential, achieve their goals and live more fulfilled lives. In this conversation we talk about consulting with sporting or business teams, being embedded in organisations, and how to help bring about meaningful engagement with sport or work.

In the third episode of Season 2 I get to talk to Pathway Scientist at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) - Elliott Newell. Elliott's conversation with Dan Abrahams on The Sport Psych Show was the first time I had heard of the 'PIE' so you can largely credit Elliott with the title of the podcast.

Elliott is a sport and performance scientist (BASES Accredited/Science Council Chartered) with specialism in psychological support. He works in high performance sport with a focus on talent development, and using talent development knowledge and strategies to maximise the effectiveness and efficiency of performance pathways. He's a huge advocate of personal growth and development, and this is evident in our conversation. Elliott racks up a lot of miles collaborating with athletes, coaches and talent pathway coaches, traveling far and wide to connect the dots within his sphere of the high performance system - hence the title, 'sport psychology on the road'.

This is part one of a two part conversation with Elliott, so look out for part two when it is out.

Season TWO of the Slice of PIE podcast kicks off with former chair of the British Psychological Society's (BPS) Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology (DSEP) and 'Pracademic' with over 20 years of experience. That's experience in consultancy, lecturing, research, presenting and working in all manner of domains from premier league football and academy cricket to supporting the British Paralympics team in Rio, and from working in sport to business to the military and many other performance environments. Jamie is also the author of multiple books including The Psychology of Soccer: More Than Just a Game which came out this year (2020) in partnership with Joe Dixon, Richard Thelwell and Ian Mitchell (see link below).

Jamie is also one of the nicest blokes around, and kindly gave enough time to fill two episodes’ worth of insight and experience. This is 'part one' of our conversation.

Ahead of Season 2 of Slice of PIE, I thought it would be first worth looking back and reflecting on the recurring themes in Season 1.

In this last episode of Season 1 we put the Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE) under the microscope with Dr Jonathan Katz. He's a former fencer turned fencing coach, a former counselling psychologist turned sport psychologist, and a veteran of 4 Paralympic games, Team England Head Coach for the 2010, 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Fencing Championships, BPS accredited supervisor and Business & Executive Coach as well. 

That’s some CV.

It was great to hear a first-hand perspective from someone who has worked through the first wave of interest and adoption of psychology in sport, and has an insightful and panoramic view on how the profession and industry has evolved over the last decade or so.
 
We discussed the impact of Tokyo Olympics moving to 2021 in forensic detail - examining the implications for younger and older athletes, those closer to retirement, the access to training and preparation facilities, and the communication web between NGBs, the BOA and IOC. We also chatted about depth and breadth of consultant experience, the importance of integrating psychology within multi-disciplinary teams and how to prepare for situations with a host of unknowns.

Dr. Matt Slater from Staffordshire University and Chris Hartley from the University of Stirling spend a lot of time thinking about groups, identity and leadership.

Dr. Matt Slater is Associate Professor of Sport & Exercise Psychology at Staffordshire University, a chartered Psychologist and an active researcher with interests in the psychology of leadership and team functioning in performance contexts. He is also the Author of the book ‘Togetherness: How to Build a Winning Team’, published in 2019.

Chris Hartley is also a chartered and HCPC registered practitioner in sport and exercise psychology, and a Lecturer in sport psychology at the University of Stirling (Scotland, UK).

Chris has also previously worked in performance academies, University Scholarship programmes, and consulted with several sport NGBs and a range of individual clients. He’s helped organise the 2nd International Conference on Social Identity in Sport (ICSIS) which took place in June of last year in Stirling, and you can find a link to information on the next conference below.

Matt and Chris join me for the FIRST ever Slice of PIE group discussion - and we talk about identity, leadership, the transience of groups and the powerful wellness impacts of social groups amongst many other topics.

This is Part 1 of the discussion so make sure to look out for Part 2 when it is released in Season 2.

Based in sunny Canberra, Richard is a sport psychology practitioner, researcher, speaker and author. In 2015 he wrote 'Being a Sport Psychologist' - a book found on the shelves of every sport psychology trainee. This episode is about building careers. We dig deeper into a keynote I saw him deliver last year entitled 'The Heartless Mercenary Career Path: Authenticity, Resilience and Strength-in-Diversity'. Whilst focused on sport psychology, Richard's insights can be applied across many industries - highlighting the ever present challenge of change and uncertainty, and how to future proof ourselves in a dynamic world.

Mustafa is one of sport psychology's foremost researchers and speakers on resilience. He somehow managed to find time in between lecturing, consulting and presenting at international conferences - to speak to me about some of his experiences. We talk about resilience at the individual versus the organisational level, whether insights can be applied across performance contexts, and why we need to move away from the notion that resilience is an ability to endure on your own.

How do we introduce people to Jesus while together continuing to fully follow him in the process? When we immerse ourselves in environments that will lead us to fully follow while building disciples, we are working towards the goal of the Church—to be a body that is becoming everything God desires us to become.
