The Shaun McCambridge Podcast

Presidents, entrepreneurs, athletes, actors and many others have used (Neuro Linguistics Programming) to propel themselves towards their goals and also stop the process of self-sabotage and in doing so unlocking their potential. In the show Shaun defines with Gina Mollicone-Long(NLP guru, motivational speaker and world renowned author) and explores how NLP helps people change their thoughts, behaviours and habits in their quest to achieve their desired outcomes and to get out of their own way.  During the show we cover · The impact of the language you use · Dealing with anxiety · The “process” of change · Brain hacks to get your mind working for you · Habits and patterns of behaviour · The deference between the goal getter (conscious mind) and goal getter (unconscious mind)

This is a passion project of Shaun’s and a journey he has been on since the age of 20 when he became conscious that his mind wasn’t working for him. Since this time he’s been both passionate and inquisitive in how to shift his mindset to be a positive contributor.

This podcast features Henry Nicholls, international cricketer for the New Zealand Black Caps and captain of the reserve A side. Henry has played cricket at a professional level from the age of 22 having begun his career playing first-class domestic cricket for his home province of Canterbury. In the years that followed he would be named to the New Zealand ODI team, and in 2016 debuted against Australia for the International Test Squad. Henry credits a structured’ ‘do the work’ approach to his cricketing success which has seen him go from a ‘player worth investing in’ (coach Mike Hesson) into a fully-fledged playmaker and regular for the Black Caps.  From a professional standpoint, how did you get your mind working for you? “There was a moment for me before I scored my first test 100. I remember I had played 12 or 13 tests before that and hadn’t reached the century, and there was a lot of media noise and opinion about that which makes things difficult. I remember one game against South Africa, I went out and batted for 45 minutes, and scored 14 runs. I spoke to the head coach after and he asked me how I thought I went. I said to him honestly, I was really happy. There was a bit of bad luck in the last innings, getting caught out by a one hander but I felt happy with the way I was playing, and I felt if I kept playing that way, for every ball that came my way it would result in something down the line that would help the team get towards the goal we wanted. It was in the match after that, against a very aggressive South African attack that I got my first 100 and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.” “At this level everyone’s talent is similar. The mental side of things, especially the mindset is the crucial factor. I look at it as though yes success is great but how can I have more consistent success? For me it’s the processes that link my mental game and being committed to them, not just when you play or when you bat, but living them.” Henry has experience in mindset and performance at the highest levels of professional sport and is a keen advocate for living his values and his processes. If you’re interested in understanding high performance in a sporting context and how those same concepts can apply to all aspects of life, then listen to Henry’s podcast.

  This podcast features Jonah Oliver, performance psychologist to The Essendon Football Club, Brisbane Roar A-League, Tennis Australia, The Queensland Institute of Sport and Golf Australia. Jonah currently consults in mentorship of leaders within the business world as well as many athletes and has acted as a high-performance specialist in several sporting organisations around the world. Jonah combines his deep understanding of neuroscience and sports psychology to deliver a unique, simple and effective approach to facilitating peak performance.     Using an Executive as an example; someone with a lot of pressure, both internal and external how do you help them build that capacity to perform despite adversity?  “Those that thrive in life often find ways of connecting to a greater purpose, and this comes from understanding your values. If I asked all of your listeners to take their shoes off and walk across some broken glass, you aren’t going to see a lot of interest. But what if I told you at the end of it I guarantee everyone you love will have a rich, fulfilling life and all your hopes and dreams will come true – people start lining up.”“This shows that if we connect to something of great meaning, we’ll endure great hardship. If I’ve got a leader who really struggles having those crucial conversations, say they get stuck with anxiety or a bit of fear or whatever it is, it’s not about making them more confident or having more self-belief – that just doesn’t work. It’s about increasing their connection to the purpose of ‘why?’ Is it in the service of something with meaning? And if it is you are much more willing for this discomfort to show up.” Jonah has a wealth of experience in inspiring the best performance from people across the highest levels. If you’re interested in understanding peak-performance mindset and how to apply adaptable concepts in your own life, then listen to Jonah’s podcast.   Shaun McCambridge – Inspirational Leaders Podcast Shaun McCambridge is the Managing Director of Stellar Recruitment, a devoted husband and father to four spritely children.

He has worked for Rio Tinto as a business analyst, moved into the manufacturing industry focussing on restructuring businesses and one day got a call from Essendon Football Club asking if he’d be interested in the CEO role available. Since that call he has spent 22 years changing organisational leadership and culture in football.   How do you move a culture in a direction where you can make meaningful progress? “You have to keep telling the story about what’s possible. And it’s true that a lot of people don’t believe you. Because they go back to the past… It’s a long process to actually make people believe that things can work.”“Going to work is the most significant use of your time as a human being. You’re going to work from 20-70years old… [As leaders] You’ve got to make a connection as to why people want to go to work? And people work for a whole lot of different reasons. If you’re going into an environment that you really feel good about, you’ll work better. And because you want to be there you get better output as a company. To me there is a direct correlation between profit and how people feel working for you.” Peter not only has the experience and accolades in turning a football club around and making it desirable for future footballers and fans. If you’re interested in understanding culture and how to attract and bring people to a brand then listen to Peter’s experience and his story.

His momentous boxing accolades are as a retired 3 x  consecutive Australian Pro Boxing Champion and coached a World Boxing champion Brett W Smith “Handful”. It all started when Tyrone was 9 years old and a friend introduced him to boxing as a means of fitness.How do you use fear as a catalyst to perform as opposed to it being debilitating emotion? “Just take action. In a boxing sense you can’t stop and think about it, you just have to react and create action. But there are other areas in your life where you do stop and think your way through it just that little bit more. Just identifying it and then what do you do… I think the fear at the start is much more different than towards the end of it.”“Boxing is just the vehicle, the real end goal there is about self-development and being a better version of yourself.” Tyrone not only highlights and discusses his boxing philosophy but also how he created and built a business that’s primary focus is to develop and grow people.
