Ollie Phillips: How to create world class teams

What separates a good team from a world-class one? My guest today has lived that question at the highest levels. Ollie Phillips captained England in rugby sevens, rowed across oceans, and now runs Optimist Performance, helping teams move from great to world class. We explore why most organisations spend 95% of their time playing the game and only 5% practising the hard skills of leadership and teamship. Ollie reveals how elite teams build unshakeable trust, why practising discomfort before big moments matters, and how momentum can be the most contagious force in any environment. You'll hear about Ollie’s transition from being the best in the world to starting again as a beginner, and how infectious energy combined with clarity of purpose creates unstoppable teams. If you're leading a team right now, this conversation will give you fresh tools to unlock world-class performance. “We spent 95% of our time practising for 5% of the delivery” — Ollie Phillips You’ll hear about • Why practising discomfort builds world-class performance capability • Creating communities through shared experiences and charitable adventures • Trust as the foundation of high-performing teams • Communication that considers how messages need to be heard • Red flags in team environments and cultures • The difference between never losing and loving winning • Why 95% of time goes to playing versus practising • Recognising progress without comparing yourself to others • How momentum multiplies in both directions • Staying in the fight when things go wrong About Ollie Phillips: Ollie's journey has taken him from international rugby pitches to the boardrooms of global businesses, across oceans, over mountain peaks, and into some of the toughest environments on Earth.
