The Duratus Mind - Ep 19 Andy Halliday Former Met SFO and Team GB coach

Andy Halliday spent over 30 years working in the police and for the vast majority of that time was serving as a Specialist Firearms Officer (SFO) for the Metropolitan Police. Experienced through thousands of criminal and Counter Terrorist operations as an SFO as well as an elite sport coach, he has a deep understanding of how individuals and teams function and learn.
Andy was involved in a number of high profile events. None more so than in 2005 being a member of the team who entered Stockwell Tube station in London where a Brazilian national, Jean Charles de Menezes, was fatally wounded.
Andy and Gaz talk about taking opportunities, growth mindset, stress reframing, learning from mistakes and also the Jean Charles de Menezes events.
This is a fascinating conversation with a man who has experienced, reflected and learned from a lot!

Another great insight into how high performance teams operate. It's interesting to see how aviation human factors is now becoming more universally used in conjunction with adopting a growth mindset to help reframe decision making.

Just catching up on all these pods. Absolutely riveting. Keep going. Hugely under rated. You should come and talk to my colleagues ( London Amb service). I’ll put the feelers out at my end . Thanks again

Yet again a thoroughly engaging & mind opening discussion, great job! Another elite sportsman that (IMO) would make a great guest would be -James Cracknell. PS when is the book coming out👍?

If you know him, we would love James Craknell on the pod!

That was really good. Amongst many other factors within the talk, it was interesting to hear about stoicism, as i'd quite recently been reading about it; Gaz, I like the 5, 5, 5 rule too, that was good. Plenty of food for thought.
