About The Focal Point

A podcast with Chris and Ian, two of the founding members of Performance Edge. Their guests come from across the elite environments they work in, incorporating views from sport, business and the veteran community. Guests bring an item that represents “performance” to them [their Focal Point]. From motorsport to football, the church to C-Suite, from dancers to the boardroom, there is a Focal Point story to enhance and support everyone’s goals. Our ambition is to enhance performance through facilitating greater understanding of people, their connections and their unique perspectives.

Medal: Chris Gordon DFC: Part 2

In the second part of the Armed Forces Day special, Chris and Ian take a deeper dive with Chris Gordon DFC into the performance lessons of his experiences. If you haven't already, go back to part 1 for the full story of the operation that saw him awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross [DFC] - which is his Focal Point. In this episode we discuss, among other things, how personal involvement can change our performance, the potential power and challenges of detaching and the absolute importance of taking time to work out what has happened and it's impact. As well as exploring the story through the lens of high performance, we also talk about some of our experiences around subjects such as PTSD and transitioning from the military into other walks of life.

Medal: Chris Gordon DFC: Part 1

Chris and Ian, as well as many of the Performance Edge team are veterans of the UK Military, and this episode, released around Armed Forces Day, is the first of a 2 part special with Chris Gordon DFC. 'Gordo' is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, flying chinook helicopters in country, and later piloting remote aircraft from the USA. His Focal Point is his Distinguised Flying Cross [DFC], which still has the late Queen's fingerprint on the back. In this first episode, Gordo shares the story of the deployment that saw him awarded the DFC, telling us the story of what happened in the runup, during and immediately after the hugely challenging operation. We wanted to give the story the space it needs, and it provides crucial context for the deeper dive into performance that comes in episode 2. We're very grateful to Chris for sharing the story of his experience, and we hope you find it as engaging as we did.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
