In this Bite Size from episode #80 Dr Amantha Imber talks about how she runs her business from a mindset of always approaching the next task or the next challenge as opposed to running away from a problem. Andrew also chimes in and explains how he has shifted his mindset to something similar after starting his career with an avoidant mindset and all the benefits that has brought him.
Andrew and Amantha also discuss what it is that drives them and how they are guilty of not always practising what they preach, but are able to fall back on that when they find themselves getting too out of control.

This week's podcast is a special one to me âit's about a group of Aussie underdogs, achieving the seemingly impossible. Picture this: my phone rings and it's one of my best mates from school, Deano, who is president of Moonee Valley Bowls Club (MVBC). Deano explains for the last 7 years his top team has struggled to break through to the Premier Division. Despite their efforts, they just couldn't perform under pressure and continually choked in the finals. Deano asked if I could come to talk to the boys about my "mental skills stuff".
Enter the players who are committed to their bowling careers, refining their skills, and nurturing a culture of belonging and excellence. Then there's meâa mental skills and leadership coach eager to see if my strategies, effective with professional teams, could help a bowling team in the suburbs of Melbourne. With a resounding "YES" to Deano's invite, I flew to meet the boys...
â...We've got this edge over every other team now from what [Andrew] taught us and that just empowered a lot of players and just made us a lot stronger as a team. It was something when things weren't going right we could fall back on and...it's worked so far!"
In this episode find:
3:40 What had been happening to MVBC the past 7 years, having a problem with the mental side of your game and gaining the chokers tag.
7:35 President Dean brings Andrew in to talk to the boys, being skeptical of Andrewâs methods and how it all went down in the Division 1 finals.
13:15 How it feels to finally be in the premier league, expecting to lose and the skills Andrew taught the team.
25:45 Andrewâs coaching session, how the culture of the team was built and an example of the teamâs pre game strategy session.
34:20 Why MVBC is able to attract so many young players and the secret to the team keeping close to each other.

In the past 6 months, one sector we have enjoyed working with is teachers and education. Educators do an amazing job of looking after our kids by providing them with care, attention, guidance, support, and education. If I ask you who was that teacher who made a difference in your life, that teacher who went the extra mile, made an investment in you - who comes to mind? Teachers are dedicated to their craft and despite research showing educators face an array of challenges in staff shortages, high stress, poor sleep, and more. Our programs are designed to support educators equipped with practical strategies to address the physical and mental demands of their roles. We want to give educators an oxygen mask and teach them to put it on first, before others.
Today's episode is a recording of a keynote presentation Andrew recently did for NSW Primary Principals Association (NSW PPA). It is a blend of science, and strategies, addressing the challenges educators and principals face, and a bit of fun in the process.
In this episode, Andrew talks about:
