High Performance
About this episode

Pippa Grange is an applied psychologist, culture coach and author. She worked as the Head of People and Team Development at The Football Association until the end of 2019, leaving to focus on “the broadening definition of success and winning in sport, especially for women and girls”. Her most recent book, Fear Less: How to Win at Life Without Losing Yourself, Pippa shares how living with less fear allows us to experience a more fulfilling and passion-filled life. 


In this episode Pippa takes us through the different types of fear we experience, where they originate and how to overcome them. She shares her insights into performance culture and how creating a space for people to be vulnerable will encourage them to take risks. Pippa offers practical tips on how to tackle anxiety and shame, whilst exploring ideas of identity, community and the struggle of perfectionism.
