*** The first episode of Experts Unleashed featured the legendary coach, Ben Crowe, and was originally released as a cut-down version to reduce the overall length. Well, we’ve changed our minds and are re-releasing the episode UNCUT! Watch the full Ben Crowe episode (bloopers…retakes…everything!) in this special edition of Experts Unleashed. *** When the world's elite sports teams, performers, or execs need to optimize their performance, they turn to Ben Crowe. He's worked with No.1 tennis champion Ash Barty, Olympic Gold medalists, champion surfers, record-breaking race car drivers, and organizations like Nike. Ben uses a combination of research, psychology, anthropology, curiosity, and his own lived experience as a dad, husband, and son, to help people fulfill their potential. In this episode of "Experts Unleashed," Atlassian's Dom Price chats with Ben about his history, story, childhood, and how that has shaped his values in how he operates today. They discuss elite performance and the relationship between sports teams and business teams, and they dig into the nuances of Ben's "Human being vs. human doing" framework, and the ways we can tap into our mindset to find incremental improvements in how we see and relate to the world. They also discuss the "My User Manual" Play from Atlassian's Team Playbook. It's an exercise designed to help leaders share with their teams, and teammates to share with other teammates HOW they work. Think of it like this: when you buy a TV, it comes with a User Manual. But when you hire a human, there's no such helpful guidance. Ben takes us through his User Manual and how he finds balance and facilitates effective communication in his life.
