Latest Podcast
In late 2022, two of the Great Coaches we have previously interviewed issued us a challenge. They wanted us to see if there was model for high-performing teams that best represented the ideas of the >200 people we have interviewed. We took on the challenge, and after a long search we decided on the Thrive model covered in the book The Social Brain.
The Thrive model has been created based on the idea that teams thrive when people do.
This week’s Podcast uses audio snippets from the Great Coaches to introduce the model; through the combination of lived experience and research from the book, we think that this model will appeal to many of you who are involved with sporting, work, or community teams.
To learn more and get a preview of some of the Great Coach interview snippets we have used, take a look at the video below.
Free Diagnostic Tool
To help you really connect and benefit from the Thrive model, we have created a free, simple diagnostic which uses 18 questions to identify how close your team is to thriving, and (importantly) what can be done to improve.
Thriving Workshops
In addition to the podcast episodes and diagnostic tool, we’re taking things even deeper with our Thriving Teams workshops, offered both virtually and live. Some workshops can even include the participation of the Great Coaches that we have interviewed.
For leaders who really want to move their teams closer to Thriving, we’re also offering individual coaching sessions.

Leadership Insights
A few weeks back we released our interview with the great Coach Anson Dorrance. Anson coached the American Women’s team to the 1991 World Cup and has since gone on to win the NCAA Championship 22 times with the University of North Carolina.
During our interview he shared the simplest and most straight-forward definition of self-leadership that I have ever heard. I remember first hearing this term at a work training and being intrigued by the idea. After all, aren’t we all leading ourselves by just existing?
The answer according to Anson is a resounding No - there’s a lot more to it than that.
