Developing Elite Business Performance with Graham Ravenscroft #36 Nick Day is joined on The HR L&D Podcast sofa by Graham Ravenscroft, England Athletics National Coach and Lead Business Performance Coach at human resources and learning and development support businesses, Gateway HR! Graham is not just an elite business performance coach, he is also someone who has also supported the development of athletes at every major global championship, including the London Olympics!  Alongside his business coaching, Graham has worked for England Athletics as a National Coach Mentor for High Jump, where he also develops the skills and experiences of coaches on the National Coach Development Programme to help develop the UK’s best athletics coaches.

Graham also possesses a Level 5 Diploma in Stress management and regularly delivers training on resilience as well as on recognising the signs and symptoms of stress and also how to manage both workplace conditions and people to minimise the risks – something I am sure we can all benefit from following the challenging circumstances COVID-19 has thrust us under during the past 18 months.
