It has been 4 years between appearances, and in this episode I am thrilled to welcome back Ezio Mormile, a dear friend, a keynote speaker and mindset coach with a wealth of experience in both corporate and sports environments. Ezio, who studied psychology and has a background in sales, discusses his unique journey from Telstra to working with elite sporting teams globally. The conversation dives into the application of sports psychology principles in developing high-performing corporate teams, highlighting the parallels and transferable skills between the two worlds. Ezio shares insights on his approach to sales and team development, emphasising the importance of mindset in achieving success. He elaborates on the methodologies he employs, such as using strategic insights and talent development frameworks adapted from global sports teams like Benfica. Throughout the discussion, Ezio reflects on how sports teams effectively plan and develop talent compared to corporate organisations, advocating for a long-term, consistent development strategy. The episode unfolds as a treasure trove of advice for business leaders and sales professionals looking to cultivate high-performance teams through strategic planning and people development.
