from Whole Man Academy · host Anthony Astbury
Richard Mann is an ex Special Forces operator and a high performance and mindset coach. He has been living and breathing, researching and developing personal development & the psychology of high performance for over 20 years. It was this passion for high performance that drove him to join the Royal Marines and then on to pass selection and operate in the Special Forces (Special Boat Service – SBS). Post SBS service Richard worked in the private security sector. This work included: in-country design of security protocols for UK Government officials and media personnel working in hostile environments; discreet close protection of senior executives and risk mitigation advice to multinational companies. Richard has now forged a career following his passion of studying elite level performance. He works with individuals, teams and organisations developing their leadership, resilience and performance capability. His work is underpinned by the attributes of Special Forces team ethos and values and the belief that these attributes are equally applicable to the business environment. This includes the principles required for high-performance teams to operate effectively in high-pressure environments. Tune in as we talk all about life in the marines and SBS, how your mindset is key, the power of podcasts, what it’s like putting your life on the line, and how men can navigate today's challenges with focus, clarity and a strong mindset.
