The value of belonging with Owen Eastwood
Listen now
Description
Human beings have a need to belong. If we feel we belong we are comfortable and secure and we are able to be the best versions of ourselves.  A child’s home is the first place where they will sense they belong and their families will be their first introduction to a sense of belonging to a group of people. These early experiences will shape the way they see themselves and the world. Our children are also part of an “unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity and culture”, as my guest writes in his book. And as parents we can help our children to find their space in this chain of people. Owen Eastwood is one of the most in-demand performance coaches in the world and has played significant roles with the current England football team, Great Britain’s 2020 Olympics team, the Scotland rugby team, the South African cricket ream and the Royal Ballet School.  In this conversation he helps us to apply the insights from his work with high performance teams to our families and parenting and we discuss his incredible book Belonging.
