When scaling a business, what does it mean to become a liquid thinker? In this episode of the ScaleX™ Insider podcast, I’m speaking with international speaker and best-selling author, Damian Hughes.

Damian combines his practical and academic background within sport, organisational development and change psychology, to help organisations and teams to create a high performing culture.

He is the author of eight best-selling business books which have been translated into ten languages. 

He was appointed as a Professor of Organisational Psychology and Change for Manchester Metropolitan University in September 2010.

He is the co-host of The High Performance Podcast, an acclaimed series of interviews with elite performers from business, sport and the arts, exploring the psychology behind sustained high performance.

He has served as a member of the coaching team for England Rugby League, Scotland Rugby Union and a wide range of international and national sporting teams.

His innovative and exciting approach has been praised by Sir Richard Branson, Muhammad Ali, Sir Terry Leahy, Sir Roger Bannister, Tiger Woods, Jonny Wilkinson and Sir Alex Ferguson.

We cover many insights and topics in this episode including:

• What Damian has learned from working with elite sports professionals
• 5 different types of culture and what defines a high performing culture
• How success leaves clues
• Why not to leave the conversation at values
• What to do when fear and anxiety grips you
