About This Podcast

Be a Better Boss is the podcast for business leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and managers who aspire to create thriving workplaces and happier teams. Hosted by Iain Highfield—renowned sports psychologist, Harvard-trained expert in organizational behavior, and small business leader—this podcast addresses one of the biggest workplace challenges: people are unhappy at work. Iain draws on his career coaching U.S.-based sports academies, elite college teams,national teams, and professional golfers competing at The Masters and The BritishOpen. He’s helped athletes win on the world stage using evidence-based methods learned from mentors like Dr. Anders Ericsson. But Iain’s expertise isn’t limited to sports. He’s led businesses, directed sports academies, and faced the reality of his own business failing during COVID-19. These experiences revealed a universal truth: just as athletes need engagement, motivation, and purpose to perform, so do employees.
