Belonging

Publisher's Summary Whakapapa. You belong here. Whakapapa is a Maori idea which embodies our universal human need to belong. It represents a powerful spiritual belief - that each of us is part of an unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity and culture. Owen Eastwood places this concept at the core of his methods to maximise a team's performance. In this book he reveals, for the first time, the ethos that has made him one of the most in-demand performance coaches in the world. In Belonging, Owen weaves together insights from Homo sapiens's evolutionary story and ancestral wisdom. He shines a light on where these powerful ideas are applied around our world in high-performing settings encompassing sport, business, the arts and military. Aspects of Owen's unique approach include: finding your identity story, defining a shared purpose, visioning future success, sharing ownership with others, understanding the 'silent dance' that plays out in groups, setting the conditions to unleash talent and converting our diversity into a competitive advantage. ©2021 Marama North Consulting Limited (P)2021 Quercus Editions Limited
