About this listen
'I can't recommend a book stronger than I would Belonging' - Bruce Daisley
'Gareth Southgate's secret weapon' - Guardian
'A copy of Eastwood's new book, Belonging, was given to every England player when they reported for duty at the European Championships' - Telegraph
In BELONGING Owen Eastwood reveals, for the first time, the ethos that has made him one of the most in-demand Performance Coaches in the world. Drawing on his own Maori ancestry, Owen weaves together insights from homo sapiens' evolutionary story and our collective wisdom. He shines a light on where these powerful ideas are applied around the world in high-performing settings encompassing sport, business, the arts and military.
Whakapapa is a Maori idea which embodies our universal human need to belong. It represents a powerful spiritual belief - that each of us is part of an unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity. Owen places this concept at the core of his methods to maximise a team's performance.
Aspects of Owen's unique approach include: finding your identity story; defining a shared purpose; visioning future success; sharing ownership with others; understanding the 'silent dance' that plays out in groups; setting the conditions to unleash talent; and converting our diversity into a competitive advantage.
Whakapapa. You belong here.

Inspiring
Book goes onto the core of effective teamwork, telling the story in the way that is relatable, positive and energising. These seemingly simple strategies remind that we are humans and have quite simple needs, but we forget about it. Love it

Brilliantly explains a fundamental human need
Owen has skilfully explained the ancient and enduring human need to belong. He does this through the stories of his own experiences of his origin cultures, and examples of the work that he has done with a vast array of high performing teams (and does this without appearing boastful). Some very moving examples across many fields, countries and cultures.
I have taken away many things that I can apply in the teams that I lead, and am a part of.
This was a thought provoking ‘read’. The narrator is clear and easy to listen to.

Oozing kiwi-ness
There are loads of books on the topic of building great teams but this one is wonderfully different. It is oozing kiwi-ness, and calls upon our shared cultural heritage to highlight our strengths and opportunities to come together and belong. To create something bigger than ourselves, a shared vision of the bigger flow of life and our role in it. Thanks Owen, and all the best to you as you continue to speak these words of wisdom in a world that seems so far detached from your message of hope and destiny.
