SPOTLIGHT: High Performance and Compassion with Red Bull's Andy Walshe

Andy Walshe is a globally recognized leader
and expert in the field of elite human performance. For over 20
years the Australian native has been focused on the goal of
“de-mystifying talent” by researching and training individuals
and teams across a vast network of world-class programs in sport,
culture, military and business settings.


Dr. Walshe is currently the Director of High Performance for Red
Bull, where he works with hundreds of international athletes and
cultural opinion leaders; supervises a team of industry-leading
scientists, engineers, physicians and technologists to develop
and implement elite performance models. Dr. Walshe was the
Performance Manager for Red Bull Stratos, leading the performance
plan for Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking jump to Earth from
the stratosphere in 2012.


Prior to joining Red Bull, Dr. Walshe designed a highly
successful performance program for the U.S Olympic ski and
snowboard teams, guiding their athletes to victories on the world
stage. Dr. Walshe has also held senior consulting roles at the
Australian Institute of Sport, NSW Institute of Sport and

500 companies, technology companies, artists and athletes
worldwide. Dr. Walshe has been invited to participate and share
his learnings at a number of global events and conferences, and
has had projects featured in numerous US and global leading
publications.


Dr. Andy Walshe joins to CEB Talent Angle to discuss how
principals from elite athletics can be applied to developing
executives and leaders. Teams will invest money and energy into
athletic talent to get the best out of them; Dr. Walsh advocates
we apply the same model to business and treat business leaders
like the elite talent they are. By focusing leaders on becoming
better at who they are before becoming better at what they do,
organizations can make leaders the best version of themselves so
that they can set the tone and culture across the organization.
