In this episode, Dr Mark Bawden, Dr Pete Lindsay and Sir Andrew Strauss explore the evolution of psychometrics, from traditional personality profiling to a new approach: performance psychometrics.

They unpack why most psychometric tools stop at self-awareness, and why that falls short in today’s fast-moving, AI-driven world.

Instead, they introduce a more practical approach focused on turning insight into action by embedding better teamwork, communication and decision-making into everyday work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why self-awareness alone doesn’t drive performance
• What a “performance psychometric” actually is
• Why teams are the real unit of performance

In this episode, we’re joined by Manoj Badale, co-founder of Blenheim Chalcot, one of Europe’s most successful venture builders, and lead owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals.

From building and scaling high-growth technology businesses to disrupting cricket with a data-driven approach in the IPL, Manoj has worked at the intersection of business, sport and high performance for over two decades.

This deeply personal conversation explores the turning points that shaped his life, from growing up between cultures after moving to the UK as a child, to realising decades later how those early experiences forged his drive to adapt, fit in and continuously evolve.

The best traders aren't the biggest risk-takers - they're the most disciplined.

In this episode of the Performance Mindset podcast, Sir Andrew Strauss and Dr. Pete Lindsay sit down with Angelie Moledina, who spent 30 years trading financial markets at banks and a hedge fund before taking on a very different challenge as Chief Impact and Operations Officer at the Sustainable Markets Initiative, King Charles's private-sector sustainability organisation.

Angelie shares what three decades in the markets taught her about performing under pressure: why cutting your losses early matters more than any single big win, how to stay humble on a hot streak and resilient through a slump, and why performance is a long game played through process, not ego.
