| 12/8/25 | Ep. 250 Side Mirror: Celebrating 250 Episodes and Sharing Some Changes | This is episode 250 of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR. I searched how many podcasts make it to 250 episodes and am advised it's less than 2%. We published our first episode on 1 March 2021 and have published weekly on Mondays at midnight in the UK ever since. Our initial aim was to celebrate the lives and career stories of senior leaders and rising stars in the global automotive industry. Along the way we evolved and added Side Mirror episodes to cover specific topics. Sometimes we invite along a guest e... | 20m 05s | ||||||
| 12/1/25 | Ep. 249 Side Mirror: Billionaires with Six Packs | In this Side Mirror, I want to talk about something we all experience — the knowing–doing gap. We live in a world where more knowledge is available to us than to any humans who lived before us. And yet… if knowledge alone were enough, we’d all be billionaires with six-packs by now. Clearly, there’s more to performance than just information. Today, I want to explore why that gap exists — and invite you to cross it by actually using the Fulfilling Performance framework, rather than simply under... | 13m 34s | ||||||
| 11/24/25 | Ep. 248 Hacia Atherton: Culture That Pays - Empowering Women in Trades | Hacia Atherton is the author of The Billion Dollar Blind$pot, global speaker, and the first female CEO of a major plumbing company in Australia. After surviving a near-fatal horse-riding accident, Hacia turned personal adversity into a global mission—founding Empowered Women in Trades and championing a new era of leadership grounded in psychological safety, inclusive strategy, and bold cultural reform across male-dominated industries. In our conversation, we talk about Hacia’s family backgrou... | 1h 43m 52s | ||||||
| 11/17/25 | Ep. 247 Side Mirror: The Curse of Knowledge | In this Side Mirror, I explore a blind spot that affects all of us. It’s something that slowly creeps in as we gain experience, and it quietly widens the gap between what we think our people understand and what they actually do. I’ll share a couple of recent examples — one from a global organisation trying to gather insight, and another from a leader who chose a more hands-on approach — plus a slightly embarrassing personal story from early in my automotive career. All of them highlight... | 15m 16s | ||||||
| 11/10/25 | Ep. 246 Side Mirror: Marginal Gains and Fulfilling Performance | My guests often share stories from their careers of stepping into a new role which they know is going to require them to grow but is also going to allow them to leverage knowledge, skills and experience that they have developed in multiple previous positions. It's a very satisfying scenario to find ourselves in because we know that there's a good chance we will be able to bring more of what we've already got — our existing capability — to bear in this new position. It increases our oppo... | 18m 28s | ||||||
| 11/3/25 | Ep. 245 Glenn Wilson: Backing Himself — Building Digital Auto Finance in NZ and Australia | Glenn is the Co-Founder of Simplify Holdings International, a company specialising in personal and automotive finance across New Zealand and Australia. Ten years ago, Glenn and his team spotted a gap in the New Zealand market—limited consumer finance options and an almost non-existent online experience—and built Simplify to solve it. Today, over 17,000 customers have used Simplify, and the business is on track to write over $150 million in finance volume this financial year. Glenn now plays a... | 1h 21m 48s | ||||||
| 10/27/25 | Ep. 244 Side Mirror: Four Real Stories of Handbrakes in Action | When I introduce leaders to the Fulfilling Performance framework with its four Diagnostic Questions, they invariably appreciate its simplicity. They find Step 1 relatively easy. This is the part where we use the four questions to identify the most likely sources of unseen friction or handbrakes as we call them. I covered Step 1 in last week's Side Mirror episode where I explained how Fulfilling Performance is a simple tool we can use to act on engagement every single day. Step 2 i... | 16m 16s | ||||||
| 10/19/25 | Ep. 243 Side Mirror: A Simple Tool to Act on Engagement Every Single Day | I was listening to an interview with Ellyn Shook recently. Ellyn is the Chief Human Resources Officer of Accenture where she is responsible for 774,000 people. She told Michael Gervais on his Finding Mastery podcast that if companies could figure out how to give their leaders tools to act on engagement every day they would see a big difference. The Fulfilling Performance framework is that tool and in this Side Mirror episode I share how I introduce leaders to how it works and get them u... | 16m 49s | ||||||
| 10/12/25 | Ep. 242 Side Mirror: Uncertainty High, Morale Low — Providing Clarity When You Don’t Have it Yourself | In this Side Mirror, I share a recent frustration that a leader presented to me in a one to one and I use it as an example of how we can apply the Fulfilling Performance framework to a real world business issue - specifically a dip in engagement and morale caused by an impending organisational restructure. About Andy I’m a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—designed to help people bring more of themselves to what they do and experience great... | 13m 22s | ||||||
| 10/6/25 | Ep. 241 Side Mirror: When the Thing is Not the Thing | In this Side Mirror, I want to talk about “the thing is not the thing.” It’s about those situations where what looks like the issue on the surface turns out not to be the real issue underneath. For the amusing bit on how the UK has been shaped by immigration over the years: Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, S03E02 About Andy I’m a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—designed to help people bring more of themselves to what they do and experience g... | 9m 18s | ||||||

| 9/28/25 | Ep. 240 Side Mirror: Releasing Handbrakes - Don't Try to Boil the Ocean | In today’s Side Mirror, I reflect on a week working with three different teams in Melbourne—one was a peer mentoring group and two were the leadership teams at automotive OEMs. It was a fulfilling week, and their feedback reminded me how quickly people can grasp the Fulfilling Performance framework—and how much more they want time to practice releasing handbrakes once they’ve spotted them. So I want to share how you can move from identifying friction to defining practical actions—and why thos... | 8m 10s | ||||||

I am fortunate to have seen my belief in the power of Fulfilling Performance ignited in others.

| 8/3/25 | Ep. 232 Side Mirror: Smarter than a smart phone | In this Side Mirror, I compare two game-changing tools—one globally recognised, the other perhaps still flying under the radar. The smartphone redefined connection with the world; the Fulfilling Performance framework is redefining how we connect with ourselves and those we lead and care about.
