What do high performers - athletes, CEOs, and entertainers - really want?

From my work with the 0.01%, here’s what I’ve learned:

1️⃣ They want the credentials and services of your team, as advertised
2️⃣ They want to trust a process that will lead them to a desired outcome
3️⃣ They want your team to understand their unique context

But remember - the real high performers do more due diligence on you than you might expect, before committing:

📚 They’ll read your articles.
🎥 Watch your interviews.
📖 Even read your book.

The performers and their team will want to qualify the scope and depth of your expertise in a world full of social media gurus (which is great!).

But taking on a high performer is a two-way street. The biggest lesson I’ve learned?
🛑 Never ignore red flags in a discovery meeting

🚩 Reps refusing to introduce the performer for a discovery call
🚩 Fixated on programme cost or requesting a break clause in the contract.
🚩 Turning up late to meetings
🚩 Indications they aren't ready to prioritise a lifestyle change

I’m excited to share an update! 🥁

I’ve spent 20 years working with high-performance organisations and individuals - World Cup winners, Olympians, Oscar winners, and CEOs - as a specialist in nutrition and human performance.

Now, I’m leading INTRA Performance Group and working as a VC, investing in health and human performance innovation.

I’m passionate about finding people and projects that will make a meaningful difference to our society.

Here, I’ll be sharing blogs, insights, news, occasional humour, and my webinar series on ‘the future of health and performance.’

🛳️ Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 08:00, I’ll ship my first blog: ‘What High Performers Want’.

(If you’re a fan of 00’s rom-coms, this one’s for you! 😅)

It’s a personal mission of mine to highlight the importance of nutrition across the 211 member associations, to 'give every talent a chance'.
