During this presentation Stuart shares what he believes are the two most effective skills and strategies that enable us to be able to maintain true emotional control and nervous system regulation in any environment. He shares just how powerful these skills are and how simple they can be to implement for all individuals, in all situations in life.

The power of radical ownership and honesty for leadership, culture and performance.

During this eye opening session, the notion of radical ownership and honesty as being fundamental for leadership, culture and performance is explored.

Presented by Stuart Smith, a Performance Consultant who whose work has spanned the highest echelons of elite sport and business, explains why such an approach has been pivotal throughout his consultancy within the business and sporting fields and why the science reflects this notion.

Throughout the presentation he explores and weaves powerful themes including:
• The importance of self awareness.
• Why a healthy ego is pivotal to accepting feedback.
• How a victim mindset kills our capacity for growth and momentum.
• How true psychological wellbeing is based on absolute ownership of all areas of our lives.
• Why radical honesty is required to get there.
• Why self trust is developed through being impeccable to your word and how confidence is overrated.

The session and themes are liberating for many people as they continue to understand that the quality of their lives and performance is all within their control, whilst moving away from any sense of helplessness and giving ownership to other people, circumstances or events.

My long-term trainer Stu Smith has had as much, if not more, of an influence on my career than anyone. Daniel Ricciardo, F1 Driver

Stuart for sure has changed my life across the board… he has navigated me through everything that was previously unknown and really helped me reach my absolute maximum potential in life and sport.

Probably the most important guy in my team is Stu Smith. I have been working with him since 2022 and it was the best decision I have made. The impact he has made has been unbelievable.
