HeyJaredThe question is
We believe that people and teams underperform. Not because they want to, not because they mean to but because they can't get out of their own way. This may not be down to them; it could be the culture or the environment.

172 - What keeps us going when things get tough? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What keeps us moving forward when work gets tough? In this episode, Graham and Paul explore psychological capital and the HERO framework—Hope, Efficacy, Resilience and Optimism.

171 - What is the value of a growth mindset to business (Revisited) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Richard heads back into our Revisited Series to one of our earliest podcasts (number 11 from October 2017), looking at Growth Mindset and what it brings to business situations.

In this episode, Ricky and Paul challenge a common assumption in sales: that stakeholder mapping is only about the external buying group. In reality, misalignment often starts internally .
