Summary
A return interview with Dr Pippa Grange, a performance ("regenerative") psychologist who has worked with the England men's football team and who has earned the admiration of Brene Brown.
I'm always excited to hear from the likes of Pippa, elite practioners who have earned the respect of the most respected high performers in the world.
Pippa has a new book out, Life Reclaimed, which is a reflection on burnout, the need for overperformance and how to achieve balance in life. It's partly informed by her work with some of the most talented people in the world and certainly bears the trace of her own experiences with burnout.
She also previews the BBC TV adaptation of Dear England featuring a character based on her.

| 0:00.0 | This is Eat Sleep Worker Pete. It's a podcast about workplace culture. Hello, I'm Bruce Daisley. |
| 0:09.3 | Had really good feedback for the newsletter last week, which was about challenges to psychological |
| 0:14.4 | safety in purpose-driven organisations. If you're not following the newsletter, you can see that |
| 0:20.4 | in the show notes, but it's often a sort of good place for people to have discussions, disagreements, reflections on the things I'm writing about. |
| 0:29.8 | And generally, that's everything work place culture related. |
| 0:33.3 | Today's podcast discussion is with Dr. Pippa Grange. |
| 0:37.4 | Now, Pippa used to work at the England football team and I'm not going to... Today's podcast discussion is with Dr. Piper Grange. |
| 0:42.9 | Now, Pippa used to work at the England football team, and I sort of built a connection with her when she was there. |
| 0:45.6 | She was credited in an article way back in 2018, credited in her role as head of people |
| 0:52.9 | and culture for Gareth Southgate's England team. |
| 0:55.6 | And I got in touch with her there, featured her on the podcast shortly after she left the team. |
| 1:01.3 | And I've sort of stayed in contact with her as she's become a best-selling author. |
| 1:06.2 | She's often called out by the likes of Brenny Brown. |
| 1:10.7 | She's been featured on some of the biggest podcasts in the world, |
| 1:14.6 | just talking about her previous book, Fearless. |
| 1:19.6 | I love getting the chance to chat to people like PIPA, |
| 1:22.6 | because she's worked with such elite teams, |
| 1:24.6 | and she's been in such incredibly exclusive environments, you know, |
| 1:29.7 | like the semi-final of the World Cup. She's in that dressing room. I think her perspective is |
| 1:35.1 | incredibly valuable. I'm always intrigued. What does someone like PIPA say when they're sitting down |
| 1:41.1 | with what do they ask them? What do they advise them? How do they, |
