Every one of us has dreams. A desire to make a difference on the things that matter to us. A vision for change, from the project we’re working on to our local community. Without action, a vision will merely be a dream. But a vision that many people believe in? Now that can change the world – ask any great leader. So how do you get this buy-in? Should that be the first step? Or is it something that follows only once you have a vision you can share with others? That’s what we’re exploring in the latest episode of The Green Room podcast with examples from elite sport and the business world. Our guests, World Cup-winning former England rugby coach Sir Clive Woodward, and executive coach and Deloitte director Jess Dooley, know all about the role that leaders and teams play in realising a vision and what it takes to get there. We ask them, does it all start with having a clear vision? Or do you need to get buy-in first? How do you sell your plans to people around you? And do you need to adapt your style to bring different types of people with you? Do you build your ideas up from testing or sell them in first? Do people buy into a leader before they buy into a vision? What if the team don’t agree on our vision or don’t buy into our method to get there? Do you need both to succeed?  What if you have buy-in but no clear vision yet – is that an issue? And what techniques can anyone apply help make their plans a reality? For this episode of The Green Room, we ask: What comes first, vision or buy-in? Tune in to find out: How team dynamics influence (nearly) everything How Sir Clive sold his vision to transform England rugby Jess’ take on whether teams or leaders should lead on buy-in If business should learn from sport or if sport can learn from business   Enjoyed this episode?

Astronaut. Dancer. Footballer. Pop star. Many of us will remember our childhood ambitions. But then life happens. We get an education. We’re forced to make a choice between one route or another. Wherever we want to get to, or redirect to, it’s about knowing what we want – and feeling capable. It’s about knowing where we could be – and feeling supported. It’s about raising aspirations – and overcoming limitations. It’s about defining success – and finding happiness. Whatever those might mean to you. We’re wondering, does where you start still matter? How much do our backgrounds determine our future success? How do you discover what you want to do – and where you could go? How important is it seeing people like you succeed? And how can you pave your own way? For this episode, we’re joined by Aziza Ajak, Vice Principal of a London school and trustee for Mission 44, and Ben Newton, the first of Deloitte’s Brightstart apprentices to be promoted to partner.Tune in to find out: Why our guests believe networking should be taught at school The lessons that Aziza and Ben learnt early in their career journeys What happens after you achieve your goals – and what happens if you don’t The best piece of advice our guests have for our listeners   Enjoyed this episode?
