Side Mirror: Playing the game of Fulfilling Performance

Andy Follows Episode 230

In these shorter Side Mirror episodes, I introduce concepts, tools, and experts to help you enable Fulfilling Performance for yourself and the people you lead and care about.

In this Side Mirror, I reflect on what happened when a friend taught me a new card game and how it reminded me of the importance of effective strategies when we want to win. I explore how the Fulfilling Performance framework functions in much the same way—giving individuals and teams a shared understanding of what it takes to grow, get results and go home feeling fulfilled. I also share a recent conversation I had with the AI tool Claude about why this way of thinking might just transform performance conversations.

About Andy

I’m a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—designed to help people bring more of themselves to what they do and experience greater fulfilment and performance as a result.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK. Alongside this, I’ve coached individuals and facilitated leadership development programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.

In 2016, I founded Aquilae to support leaders and teams in the mobility sector and beyond. Through workshops, coaching, and peer mentoring, we enable high performance that’s also fulfilling—for individuals, teams, and organisations.
